Still, it would be a lot of people: 50 to 83% [1], and more importantly, it has to be evenly distributed. It would be pointless to have developed countries safe while the rest of the world is in chaos. We're a global economy after all.

After a year of living in Amsterdam with zero close calls, I realized how important segregated cycling lanes are.
Any other solution is purely palliative.

I was on Orkut for years, then everyone migrated to Facebook, guess what... different tool + same people = poop³.

No. Instead, I unfollowed almost everyone!

Indeed, I also find value in Facebook.

* Shared symbols
* 9-Slice scaling tool
* GIF
* Bitmap tools
* Batch scripts

Infinite scrolling exists because it raises the average time users spend on your site.
