In any case the 10th doesn't overturn the 2nd. It says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" That is a specifically listed Constitutional right of the PEOPLE, not the Fed, not the States.
Please quote the entire 2nd amendment, like this:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
As you can see, it puts the right to keep and bear arms within the context of a well-regulated militia, otherwise why is it in the same sentence? The U.S. Constitution is silent about any right to keep and bear arms outside of a well-regulated militia and is therefore left up to the states as per the 10th Amendment.
If you're building a restaurant, how much parking will you build? Let's say each parking space costs you $100 per month in loan amortization, maintenance, property taxes, and so on.
That means to justify another parking space, it would have to bring to your restaurant at least $100 per month. Or in other words, the optimal number of parking spaces is the number where you lose just under $100 per month when people can't find a parking space and nobody who walked, biked, or took mass transit to your restaurant took their place.
So the fiscally optimal amount of parking in an unpriced parking lot is the amount where the parking lot gets completely full some of the time. This is how much parking you, the restaurant owner, will demand of the developer. Market demand is being met because that's how much parking you ordered from the developer.
In contrast, the zoning requirements of most U.S. cities require so much parking that the parking lot never gets completely full even when the parking fee is zero. That means you, the restaurant owner, must build more than the fiscally optimal amount of parking, and so you're losing more money than you would have if a few of your potential customers were turned away by a completely full parking lot.
So you see, allowing developers to build only as much parking as the market demands would result in less parking than we have today, and parking lots would either get full more of the time or they would charge for parking. Either one is an inconvenience to the driver.
if developers built only as much parking as the market wanted, then the convenience of cars would be unchanged, since by definition, the deman for parking would be being met.
Then you agree that minimum parking requirements are unnecessary?
A 2009 Texas study found that in order for the roads to pay for themselves, the gas tax would have to be raised to $2.22 per gallon. That's $2.59 in today's dollars.
When you're paying $2.59 per gallon in gas taxes and the roads still aren't fixed, come back and ask again where the money went.
And would they be as convenient if the roads paid for themselves 100% from gas taxes and other user fees instead of less than half?
When was the last time you bought groceries without carrying any form of government ID? This used to be common.
It's tragic how we willingly give up our freedoms and enlarge our governments just for a little convenience. "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little Convenience, deserve neither Liberty nor Convenience." (Benjamin Franklin)
The 3-2-1 backup strategy says you should have 3 copies of important information, 2 copies onsite but on separate drives or mediums and 1 copy offsite in case of malware or the kind of disaster you're describing.
When you register your key, you print out some temporary codes and keep that paper in a safe place. Then if you lose your key, you would use one of the temporary codes to log in.
Seriously, 8 months passed between the phishing incidents. That's plenty enough time to do a security audit and train your staff, and the insurance company knows that.
So the insurance company accepted the premiums knowing they wouldn't have to pay for any loss caused by a security breach? Isn't that fraud?
So you've got to have multiple backups in different places should your house ever burn down, etc.
Yes, the 3-2-1 backup strategy. Keep 3 copies on 2 different storage types with 1 of those copies offsite.
It's really, really nice knowing that nobody can hack into my e-mail even if they somehow managed to obtain the password. I just wish Amazon and my bank supported U2F.
Homelessness has always been a problem, but nothing is said about it when there is a Democrat in the White House.
Would you support allowing the market to build affordable housing by restoring the rights of developers to build more densely than surrounding properties, or are you just playing games here?
My employer offers a discount on health insurance for anyone who promises not to smoke, and another discount for anyone who logs their workouts. So we don't all pay the same rate even though we're all in the same pool.
Some might say you threw your vote away, but I like how you gave it meaning when it had no chance to affect the outcome of the election. I wish people would vote their conscience more often.
There are no image diffs, just comparison shots with closeups pointed out. In the Koala image, the image processing doesn't add any leaves (which is good) but it leaves out some of the stems (which is expected). In the MRI, the image in the area of the cerebellum is different enough not to be trusted.
It would be interesting to see a visual diff between the denoised result and the source image before the random noise was added, in order to see what kinds of artifacts were generated during the denoising process. For example, did it add any leaves to the image of the koala?
I agree with both of you. C++ encourages bad habits, and the SOLID principles attempt to solve them. It would be good if the C++ language itself enforced those principles better. Otherwise we are forced to depend on programming classes to teach SOLID, and they don't even teach const-correctness so it seems hopeless without official language support.

Ok but when was the last time you bought groceries without carrying any form of government ID? That means no photo ID, no driver license, etc.

When you're paying $2.59 per gallon in gas taxes and the roads still aren't fixed, come back and ask again where the money went.
Would they be as convenient without laws that force developers to build more parking than the market wants?

Good answer.
You are a bit of an alarmist.
Would you support allowing the market to build affordable housing by restoring the rights of developers to build more densely than surrounding properties, or are you just playing games here?
I wish I were so naive again. Those were simpler times.
My employer offers a discount on health insurance for anyone who promises not to smoke, and another discount for anyone who logs their workouts. So we don't all pay the same rate even though we're all in the same pool.

Is asymmetrical information better than misinformation?
You make it sound like we don't need planes because look at all the people who moved thousands of miles away from their families without them.
Chicken and egg. People didn't often move thousands of miles away from their families until we had airlines to bring them closer.
Sure you can. Just charge $225 per comment. This will cut down on the abuses real quick!
You're right, the paper isn't behind a paywall.

Not really.
Nice try but no. The purpose of zoning is to increase segregation and give the government more power.
