This smart phone app would use the user's GPS
coordinates to
determine the nearest subway/public bomb shelter. It
would
coordinate with a cloud based program to assign users to
shelters such that leaving X%* spare capacity in each
shelter,
each user is directed to the nearest shelter. Upon
request it
would display to the user the "assigned" shelter so the
user
has a high chance of reaching a shelter with room for
him/her
in the shortest possible amount of time.
Obviously some tweaking would be needed to
maximize utility in the beginning when there are few
users.
*Where x is the approximate percentage of
non-
users in the area

I just got back from Korea on Sunday night. While I wasn't overly concerned at the time, I might have surreptitiously downloaded this app. |
|
| |
It would be a good app for a real emergency, but not for right now in Korea. This is just another chapter in the farcical BS competition north of the border. |

I agree [nmr], but when you're actually there.... |
|

I was there 2002-2003. the only time I got worried was when some US army guys managed to flatten two schoolgirls into the road with an APC. Not a good time to be a Caucasian. |

What's the fastest growing branch of Xianity in SK? Round those
fuckers up here and end the war. They're Nazis. |
|

No, the Nazis were those guys in Germany during the
war, and their followers. |

Christians are a different part of the Venn diagram of
humanity. |

Not wishing to point score but I believe there may have been some overlap in that diagram. But, of course this is now, and that was Venn. |
|
| |
Of course. Venn diagrams that don't overlap are just... um... ovals. |
