You can split the diff. Use a technology that scans the credit card, confirms the "reservation", and then prints the tickets at the door. Now, only the original purchaser can attend with his party.
Seems like a perfect opportunity for some kind of AI. Not to diagnose, but check and constrain.
Why should the pregnancy code be shown or be valid for a 17 year old boy or an 80 year old woman A basic, rules based AI can help catch errors that may not be so obvious because they are one number off, but glaringly obvious because it's impossible or highly unlikely for a patient.
On the other hand, suggesting that male and female brains are NOT wired differently is like saying two identical PC, one with Windows 7 and the other with Windows 10 are exactly the same.
The physical structures are the same, sure, but the programming is vastly different.
We have an opportunity to forge an alliance between former enemies. The only reason the USSR and America were adversaries was the conflict over economic systems. that conflict no longer exists. Russia us just as capitalistic as the West, albeit a but more crude about it. But the point is that we have no reason to automatically line up against then anymore.
We have an opportunity to create a partnership that exceeds Nato and present a united front against Islamic Radicalism. This means not only immolating ISIS terrorists, but also, diplomatically confronting the bigger players in the Mideast that are the ones actually fueling his kind of crap with their fundamentalist nonsense. We could force them all to clean up their act, and reform Islam.
Of course, the US will need to stop supporting "moderates", mostly because there is no such thing.
I imagine Rei standing next to the Wright brothers and claiming that not only will their idea not work, but that it's stupid because we have trains and ships. And besides, no engines exist that can power a plane big enough to carry more than one or two people and who would want to sit exposed to the wind, and jet engines? Fantasy, and, and.
We should do something like this because we should/would want to DO something in space, not just take pretty pictures and heat up a few handfuls of dirt. Exploiting the asteroids, diverting objects that might hit the earth, etc.
And EM Drives? When you stand in the same room as the several PhDs that are investigating and tell them to their face that they are stupid dolts for even trying and they sheepishly agree, then I'll listen to you. Until then, I'll wait for the process to complete and the conclusions of the people who know what the are doing.
We should not be in such a hurry that we are sending people in fragile tin cans reliant on chemical rockets. Instead we should be working on building an actual Ship in orbit.
What is a "Ship"? First, it is a vessel with ample power: some kind of reactor that can run all the ship's systems, plus a magnetic shield. The other systems a reactor would power is the engines...Ion or those EM drives (should they pan out. I expect the truth should be sorted out by the time they get around to building something like this). Sure...they are low thrust, but you can have a lot of them. And they have some pretty powerful ones in development.
Another thing it would have to be is big. Room for rotating sections for artificial gravity, hydroponics, a workshop (because AAA doesn't serve Space yet). Storage for fuel, water, a lander of some sort, etc.
Sure, it sounds all futuristic, but we have the essential technologies or they are on the drawing boards, or can be with just a bit of political will. It's time we took the next step in Space Travel...the step where it's actual travel and not just joy rides to lower orbit. We can put off Mars for a decade or and instead focus on building something that is safe, reliable and not a one and done soda pop can.
I think they'd be happy just to get their hands on some high level radioactive wastes so they can build a dirty bomb. So while everyone is being snarky, they are probably being serious, but not about Red Mercury.
We can set up a system. Let's call it a "Criminal Justice System". Catchy, ain't it?
Then, we train and hire people specifically to deal with "aggressors". We can split them up into "Cops","Prosecutors", and "Judges".
I guess we'll need to pass some kind of rule or something that says you can't have sex with someone unless they want the same. And no Groping and stuff.
So, once in place, any women is is raped or assaulted in any way, can file charges. The perp is taken away by the cops, the Prosecutor argues he should be take away for a long time, and the Judge agrees or disagrees. Maybe you can have something like a bunch of random people make that decision too.
There ya go, an effective, level-headed way to deal with the aggressors!
Judging from the current activities on Campus today, in 20 years there will no longer be any Higher Education. Just indoctrination camps where people are sent to learn their place.
Most of the advances in performance, stability, safety economy, etc. have come from the racing industry, or rather, car companies field testing those technologies in the racing world.

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.
Just search the page for "Whenever" for the money shot.
Mr. and Mrs. America, turn your guns in!

The very fact that you have to qualify "Muslim" with "peaceful" or "moderate" tells you that something is very wrong with Islam.
It's been showing Promise for lots of things for a long time now. Is is actually USED for anything yet?
Sheesh, it's becoming just like Fusion.

"... free speech has been the rule for centuries..."
Something many people are determined to change.
Let me guess...the Asteroids belong to Everyone!
Do you mean those SJWs that want to repeal the First Amendment?
It's the restrictions.
Breeder reactors could burn up all that waste.
Nuclear energy's effective demise was not of its own making.
Incessant Alamist and hyperbolic activism by extremeist turn public opinion, spurred frivolous lawsuits, and prompted overzealous regulations.
The irony is that Nuclear is the best hope to fight their new boogieman, Climate Change.
Environmentalists are looking for a foot doctor to take care of the hole the shot into it.
There is obviously a correlation between being dateless and becoming a terrorist.
What practical manifestations will this have?
Will it enable faster/better/bigger/smaller/higher/lower/longer/shorter/hotter/colder? What?
This kind of crap is what happens when the US abdicates its leadership role and deliberately becomes a bit player.

Pfizer was here and paying taxes. Now they are not here and won't be paying taxes.
What policy exactly would prevent that?

All PETA members and their families should be identified.
If they should ever turn up needing medical services, they should only receive services that were not devised/tested via animal experimentation.
I expect they'd quickly be whistling a different tune.
I have a great idea.
