The "original" dead man switch as I heard about it was a pedal on a train that would apply the brakes if the operator released it.

I've often wondered about how to reliably take software actions after my death or dishonor. After all, you can't really rely on me being able to pay my bills. I'm not looking to do something expensive, more like delete my accounts and send some messages.
