You'd be amazed how many people forget about supply and demand. Then those people are surprised by the perfectly predictable outcomes that they didn't intend.

A Texas highway like Mopac often has 2 additional travel lanes if one is willing to get off/on the highway repeatedly and to make questionable usage of merging lanes. For years, this was the way to travel Mopac in stop-and-go traffic.

Like, they know to skirt traffic on Mopac via the clever use of service roads? And hopping off Mopac at 24th to slide along Pease Park?

I am not sure I agree with you if the haters always pay and the lovers pay only when the album drops (see my child suggestion to the idea post). Artist sets the reserve to $x. Artist hates against themselves to $x + $y at a cost of $y. Case

Dunno. Good point. Not my specialty. Perhaps require that some prohibitive number of blocks have been mined before the auction closes?

> If the auction expires without hitting $0... Maybe haters always pay, however, so the artist comes out ahead even with no release because of down votes

This would be interesting as an auction with a reserve price as well as a marketing mechanism. The artist says I need to make at least $x. People can pay $1 to the artist to either increment or decrement $x by $1. Album drops for everyone w

A fun thought experiment... Put motorcycles in bicycle lanes! That's crazy though, because motorcycles and bicycles are very different beasts. But wait! We put bicycles in car lanes all the time. So clearly mixing bicycles and internal

> there is no room for a motorcycle. 90+ percent of roads have more than sufficient room. That's why it requires no new infrastructure. When lanes are too tight for conditions, motorcycles simply act like cars.

The problem with the local basketball team is there aren't enough positions for everyone who would like to be on the local basketball team. We could fix that problem by 10X-ing the number of players on the court at once. So, rather tha

Smoking by most teenagers is easy to solve: Make all cigarettes hot pink with garish other colors in ugly, ugly patterns. Teenagers don't like looking conspicuously ridiculous.
