That price is for a business medallion is purchased by a company that runs the car 24 hours a day in 3 shifts bringing in $300,000 / yr. or more.
The high price is the price all medallions go for, so what you are saying is that the only folks that can have a cab license are those that run them 24/7.
This line is always trotted out by people who dont understand NYC medallions.
You seemed to have been hinting that less than 100% of taxi's have medallions.
Why not come out and make a direct statement about what you seem to think is wrong with my statements, instead of the bullshit hinting shit you are doing now so that people cant just label you a dishonest fuck and be done with you.
Keep in mind however that only a handful of cities use Medallions.
At least the medallion system, as abhorrent as it is, allows the licenses to be transfered to other individuals. In most other places its even worse than the medallion system where there not only is an artificially limited supply, you've got to also be on the good graces of the local bureaucrat gatekeeper when there is an opening.
Instead you went with... "it doesn't even matter if Uber is exploitive"...This is just inflammatory rhetoric and you know it.
The fact that you start throwing around crap ("inflammatory rhetoric!!!!") instead of arguments ("here is some logic...") means that its YOU thats throwing around inflammatory rhetoric. The post with the statement you are calling inflammatory rhetoric what loaded with detailed logic about the viewpoint, while you just spout fucknothings.
"...they should have no problems complying with basic licensing requirements..."
..such as the requirement of obtaining the $1,000,000 medallions required to operate a cab in Manhattan.
Yep, Statists (like you) dont see this as a problem. The proof is that Statists like you can be quoted as saying "they should have no problems complying."
What you describe probably could be done and without inventing anything new or fancy. What it DOES require is money, lots of money. Who is going to pay for all that?
One of the things I have learned over the years is that Californians don't worry about silly things like budgets and how to pay for things, and even less so the consequences involved in budgeting and paying for things.
This is the State that has repeatedly fucked up its energy industry to the point of severe crisis. Seems to be planning to do it yet again.
Other documentation speaks of sectors and considers blocks a hard drive thing.
HDD documentation is irrelevant to the discussion of SSD's.... I'm not butthurt.. you are just ignorant and desperately trying to salvage your display of it without even becoming non-ignorant first. Amazing.
The major holders of these stocks are holding them because its believed to be better than the alternatives, based on what is (for good reason) believed to be relevant reasoning.
Investors have found that its "unlucky" to be superstitious... in other words arbitrary reasoning increases the likelihood of negative outcomes.
The U.N. here is proposing the use of arbitrary reasoning ("oil is bad, mmmkay!") to make investment decisions. I recommend that you follow their advice. The sooner you are broke the better.
Several logical drive sectors are mapped onto a physical NAND sector.
umm... no...
First, I'm going to assume you are just terminology-ignorant, because NAND comes in BLOCKS composed of PAGES.. so I am going to translate your poor use of "sector" with regards to flash as what you probably really meant.... "page" (if you meant something else, you are even more ignorant... so take this kindness)
A logical drive sector can be mapped to literally any physical page on the flash, and which page a specific logical sector maps to changes over time.
All this is irrelevant. Uranium, is limited in supply, even if it's a large supply. This limit means we will eventually have to stop using it and use something else. So why bother starting?
The sun will one day burn out and not provide solar energy, eventually we will have to stop using it and use something else. So why bother starting?
as a kid I enjoyed chess and played with my friends right up to the point where you suddenly had to start memorizing openings and other canned sequences.
The world champion doesnt do this... prior champions certainly have but the current one isnt looking hard for an advantage in the opening...
Yes, such as the 50,000 studies they "use" annually.
Thats 137 studies 'used" per day.
I guess common sense doesnt figure into your view of things sine you quoted the part where this is detailed, but failed to notice how ridiculous this is.

Oh, please. I am no friend of the rent-seeking, regulatory-capture taxi cartel, but Uber is unethical as hell.
So go after them for that... instead of an excuse that literally supports evil.
Its as if you are saying "Uber is unethical, therefore I want the very things that makes the existing system evil to triumph over Uber! Go evil!"

Do we have a lazy admin at the healm?
A lazy, un-vetted admin, with access to classified emails.
Nothing to see here. Its just the Republicans unfairly attacking the Clintons again.
They went to jail for that. Do you still want an equal response?
I think the AC would prefer that, as a quite shuffle-off to jail doesn't hurt the Party nearly as badly.
A solid gold casing would be too soft to be practical.
Could Obama have been reading the wrong newspaper?
Obama says a lot of shit. The basic strategy is to say so much shit that some of it sticks. This works because the media is on his side.
I manage to completely forget all those moves I foresaw so brilliantly, and make the absolute worst possible move I could have made instead.
In chess thats called Kotov Syndrome
In Kotov's 1971 book Think Like a Grandmaster, he described a situation when a player thinks very hard for a long time in a complicated position but does not find a clear path, then running low on time quickly makes a poor move, often a blunder.
I once lost a game of chess to a guy who was partially stoned
Probably because he was stoned. The downsides to being high, as it relates to chess, can be managed.. while the upside remains.
(the downside is that you are more prone to overlook things, the upside is that you can focus quite well on specific things.. "wide" vs "deep")
as a kid I enjoyed chess and played with my friends right up to the point where you suddenly had to start memorizing openings and other canned sequences.

But believe it or not eventually that magical flammable liquid won't come out of the ground anymore
You keep worrying about imaginary places and times and let the rest of us deal with today.
I hope you aren't suggesting that Republicans do care about science
Neil deGrasse Tyson certainly thinks they do.
the devil is in the details:
Yes, such as the 50,000 studies they "use" annually.
Thats 137 studies 'used" per day.
I guess common sense doesnt figure into your view of things sine you quoted the part where this is detailed, but failed to notice how ridiculous this is.
From the article:
"The bills, introduced by a mostly Republican cast of sponsors in both the House and the Senate, would require that EPA use only publicly available, reproducible data in writing regulations and seek to remake the membership and procedures of the agency’s science advisory panels."
The president plans to veto common sense.

Why are you using a 1 meter aperture, and why are you not using such a large aperture for focus at a distant point?

Maybe you should consider what you are saying before you say it.
