Some airports, e.g. ORD (or at least it did), have special provisions for medallioned taxis to get priority access to the highly structured taxi line. It isn't just a tax on the special nature of the ride. In the case or ORD, some part

There are plenty of shared spaces (owner is renting out an extra bedroom, etc..), and a few close to a classic B&B (house with several rooms rented out with few frills). Even a lot of the places renting the full place out tend to be peo

Would you work for Reddit right now, or even then? I got the impression then, and I definitely get it now, that the management has little respect for their employees. In the case of Yishan's spat, it was definitely relatable, but it de

Well, recipes are specifically exempt from copyright, but the text of them is not. If you had a recipe for "Lobster Thermadore" that was a close copy of another published version, that would be infringement. The basics of a recipe

The SEC has incentive to stop growth of things it would shut down. Stopping scams is a big part of what they do, and a lot of the sorts of basic fraudsters that exist look more like this site than Goldman Sachs. The SEC needs to do both, an

Most of the groups who strongly oppose this stuff are against any nuclear material whatsoever entering space. The reasons span beyond basic safety to opposing any combination of space programs with nuclear programs.

There is some opposition to using nuclear material on space missions, since space travel isn't safe. The biggest fear would be a rocket blowing up at some perfect point in the launch to end up spreading plutonium-238 over a wide area.

Well, one of the most early ethical battles of Manhattan project nuclear physicists was questioning if the H-bomb should be built, and how did that turn out? The US ended up building a massive nuclear arsenal, well beyond any limit of absur

It would be pretty nice if roads were such that things like deliveries, various public transit, and taxi/car sharing options were the only allowed options as far as cars go. If the roads become uncongested, and parking is no long a maj

Why is that the author's problem rather than a problem of StackOverflow's? I'm not going to suggest I know a better way, but it is up to them to figure out. If you build a site around user-generated content, these are problem

There are plenty of collaborative communities where post deletion is allowed. There is clearly a different level of value between a SO question and a reddit comment thread, but deletions are almost always disruptive in some way. But those p
