Why you have locked doors in your house? Maybe it better to help those who are looking for shelter or food instead of spending money on doors, locks, security cams, police, courts, jails, borders, army.

UX design is done by designers and product managers. Developer just implemented ability to assign hot key X to function Y. How this ability used was not his/her concern.

Half of population have IQ lower that average, so they rely on those with larger brains to help them to make decisions. They are vulnerable. You are trying to make them smarter, like you, but this will not help them. You need to assist them, every day of week, to combat enemy propaganda.

Nobody wants to play a game that they don't even have a chance of winning even if they play optimally.

I play such games regularly. I'm just choosing place to die, then I try to stay alive as long as possible. Sometimes I even win, just because of pure luck. Then I win more often.

It can be easily shown that entropy in the universe is finite.

Finite Universe can get stuck in a "dead" state. Giving infinite time, it will definitely will do so. The only solution for this problem is to have infinite Universe. Infinite Universe will never stop.

Map - I have map on my bicomp.

Strava - I can upload my route to Strava from phone connected by BLE.

Mirror - yeah, it will be nice to have. Currently, I use my ears for tracking cars behind me, which saved me lot of times. I had moped mirror mounted on handlebars for about month: it was good, but I broke it very fast. Also, I had tiny mirror on pole/stick?(non native speaker) manually soldered to left side of my glasses with metal frame: it worked good, but I look dumb when I wear them, and they were hard to store, so mirror was scratched and damaged in few days. I plan to make new version, using flex leg from another glasses with metal frame, so I will be able to fold mirror.

Music player - I use cheap Chinese open-ear headphones(Atlanfa, cannot find them online) with built-in player and FM radio. I use them almost every day. They are open ear, so I hear road very well, especially with reduced volume. They work for about 2h with FM radio on, which is enough for me.

Notifications - my bicomp can display notifications and call info from phone attached by BLE, and my headphones are alerting me too about notifications and allows me to respond to calls. However, I have problem on my bicomp (Dash M50) with notifications with emoj: they are truncated after first emoj. Sometimes, emoj is the first letter in the text. :-(

I ride for about 25km daily to/from work in hilly area.

Locomotive can harvest energy and matter from Sun and then use it to orbit around Sun, slowly gaining speed, until it will no longer will be able to compensate сentrifugal force. Then it can reach high orbit passively, pickup pilots on high orbit, and be ready to flight, with full tanks. Or it can dump fuel, and do another dive to Sun, for more fuel.

If it will survive Sun radiation at low orbit, then it may also survive interstellar travel at high % of C.

Sun have lot of energy, so it can be used as energy source. If you plan to travel at % of c, you will need strong enough radiation and thermal shield anyway. And if you have such shield, why not just dive into Sun for refueling? Humans can stay at high orbit, when interstellar locomotive refuels.

I did my own "JavaScript Server Pages" using Rhino (JS for Java), which does compilation of JS to java bytecode. It worked great for me. I did two sites using it, then changed job.
