Well, if you don't have enough money, then what's the plan? Besides, who pays for lightening? What I'm trying to get at is that this feels like a brittle strategy for something that is as easy to start as a fire. The Chicago

The owner of the spots are the city but the owner of the parking meters are this corporation. The city will owe fees if they decide to change usage. So this is a sour deal because now they'll either have to leave them as open spots (wa

What's our expectation on wildfires starting versus the damage they cause? We can obviously do better to control fires started by malfunctioning power equipment, but there's natural risks (lightning) as well as other human risks.

This will still be a sour deal. What a waste of urban space to just leave empty parking spots due to the fees for repurposing them.

Fractional reserve refers to the reserve of cash, but it does not refer to the reserve of total assets/liabilities. If you are implying Tether is backed by total assets/liabilities, then some people might be OK. On the other hand,

Just like you can prevent a "paper wallet" from being compromised by not letting anyone casually look at it? If I invested in one of these hardware wallets, I'd be interested in making it cost at least $X where $X is greater

Saying that people need to be shoved off a cliff is not elevating your position. In fact, these kind of statements are exactly what make me concerned about regulations and laws. One has already made your mind up about a group of people and

I agree and understand, but it does give us a likely unintended consequence: no sequential hashed data structures when you are required to be able to modify it. Probably a good thing for hearing less about blockchains!

"D" is surprising to me. It's either going to create a high incentive for dark patterns or it will kill the business of selling data. Why doesn't the proposal make it illegal to sell data if that's the case? Past th

Many recipe sites are basically blogs, so yes, there is a lot of cost associated with each of them. I do not know if they tend to make money their money on ads or on books or on other methods.

So if someone traveling in the EU gets GDPR protections, does someone traveling in the US lose GDPR protections? Are the GDPR protections only for the data that was collected while someone was in the EU or for all data once they've tra

That comment was in response to the previous poster saying the FBI raided the persons house. I wanted to put it in context: the judge agreed to let the FBI raid the persons house based on evidence. There is a system in place to prevent the

The FBI was granted a search warrant by a judge based on evidence they presented. At the very least this is a process that involves multiple branches of the government. The decision to deny bail was based on logic that they provided in open

It sounds like the person in this case went through the normal court system whose processes resulted in his release. Probably the biggest shame in this case was not releasing him on bail. Tell me if I'm missing something!

It's not so much the intentional transportation that's the issue. The leakage is the problem. Are individual cities required to allow leaky transportation of hazardous materials on their roads?

Your original statement was that ISPs should not get to ban. I noted that ISPs might not get to ban, but governments do get to ban. You are now asking me if governments should get to ban. I believe I already said that they do get to ban. If

Your parenthetical seems to prove the other posters original point. It wasn't the development that caused the displacement, it was the relative appeal of the neighborhood.
