In NYC, the hire cars negotiate a flat-rate for the trip. You take it or haggle. There aren't meters and "per mile" prices, though the number is generated from a time/distance estimation.
The confusion is that in the US, most areas have "medallions" that limit the number of taxis in an area to a fixed number. If the population increases/spreads out, the medallions become worth more, but the number of medallions increases.
There have even been court cases that found it was illegal to increase the number of medallions, depending on the rules in the area.
Freedom of speech (yes, I know the Brits don't have it) should allow them to talk about it. But laws against conspiracy should prevent them from planning it.
I could prove that memories are read non-destructively, but are re-written upon each reading. But I don't have the funding and time. Why solve an "obvious" thing. How do I know? I can remember how I remembered something 15 years ago from 15 years before that. I'd guess that to be unusual, but I can remember remembering something, and the memory itself changes, based on perceptions at the time of reading, and those color future recallings of the memory.
It also explains all the false abuse claims, without anyone involved "lying". Everyone tells the truth as they know it. The problem is memory is re-written on every reading, and trying to read something that isn't there results in the "desired" memory being actually written, given enough coaching and time. and there's no "lie" when there's no deception.
..that the human brain stores information as a computer does on a disk
I didn't say anything of the kind. And when I read a disk, it doesn't write what you read again, so you are wrong on both counts.
it would be the "biggest" because it would overturn everything we know about (which, I must remind you, isn't much!) the way the human brain works
I have a psychology degree (and focused on the "hard science" not the "tell me about your childhood" side). I don't think I need some random guy lecturing me about what we know and don't know. I've done some "real, testable, falsifiable science" involving the workings of the brain, specifically memory/cognition.
How about we break the cycle and just do it right.
We can't when we learn through trial and error.
Those buildings don't get built and you are even worse off.
If they were good ideas, they'll be built. If they don't get built after the next change, or by someone else before then, they weren't a good building to build in the first place.
2 to 10 minutes in a 4 hour spot is 3-16%? Perhaps the number would be 2 minutes for spots of 60 minutes or less, and up to 10 minutes for 4-8+ hour spots.
If you sell a used book or video game to a friend, do you report that to the IRS?
If I do so for a profit, then I am require by law to do so. But if I buy a game/book for $100 and sell it for $90, I took an (undeclared) $10 loss, not a $90 income. So I don't have to report it. In most cases, garage sales and such are sales of items for a loss, so they needn't be reported. But if you are running a "used item" store, and buying games for $5 and selling thme for $10, then yes, I would report that $5 income to the IRS. To do otherwise is prison-time offense.
Arbitrage is using any "loophole" (regulatory or technical) for a better price than an unprepared, but well informed person could get. Front running is arbitrage. If I walk to the market in Orlando (unprepared, but well informed), I'll pay Orlando prices because Miami is inaccessible and getting an orange from there is uneconomical. If you are in Orlando seling oranges you bought in Miami for less than the other Orlando people, then I'll buy from you. You did Arbitrage because the "average" person, well informed but unprepared, could not be able to do that.
If someone has hired me to buy oranges in Miami where they are X dollars and I buy them for X - y and then sell them for X + y, without telling the person who hired me, then its front running, and it's stealing.
You are hired to buy at or as close to $2 as you can get. You sell it to them for $2. Why is it theft that someone saw the customer's order, bought it for $1.99 and delivered it to you for you to buy at $2? The person selling for $1.99 doesn't know or care the sale went to an HFT, and the buyer doesn't know/care that the sale was maked up by the HFT middle-man.
So why is the fact that the planning department allowed previous buildings to be build improperly the responsibility of current developers to solve?
It isn't. It's the responsibility of the developers to develop within the rules. The previous rules were too lax. Usually, the next rules are too strict. A few more itterations, and the balance will be achieved.
Sure, that might not be fair for a single building, but it's more fair overall than your proposal.
Why not just give the spot in a desired area, and fill out all the info for the auction, then "sell" a spot that's occupied. By the time anyone knows, you've gotten paid into your paypal account (that's quickly closed, after having been transferred to other accounts, perhaps to buy gift cards sent to a P.O box).
With the near anonymity you are sending money to, I can't imagine this lasting long without great abuses.
Maybe it's a Florida thing. In D.C, you put on your signal, and everyone gives 1.5 car lengths of space. You pull past the open space, and reverse in. As soon as he's able, the guy behind will go, even if you aren't actually in the spot yet. You get only one try for a spot. Nearly all cars have holes in the rear bumper from the bolts of front license plate mounts. And dented front plates. Driving by braille is allowed. At least while parking.
I've heard it called "California parallel parking" where you pull in nose first, but you must mount the curb to get the right angle in a reasonable distance.
What if the memory decays over time, regardless of whether it's recalled? And recalling it strengthens it, rather than weakens it? That seems to be an assumption more in line with what people actually experience.
Their model was an intentionally "lossy" model..."lossy" is something we usually use algorythms to **avoid**...this use is new...it is not as complex as our brain, but it **does model a 'lossy' continuous memory/recall system that is integrated**
So MP3 can't be computed by or read by a computer? And the assumption that the memory is re-compressed with additional loss upon each read seems a dumb assumption. Memories are written again when read, not read destructively. They made lots of bad assumptions to get the answer they wanted. It's bad science.
3 is the most wrong. There is nothing in #1 that precludes "refreshing" the memory when read, like RAM in a PC gets refreshes to prevent decay. But I'm sure people will assign that error to #1, but the problem isn't the memory storage or mathematical model, but the assumptions made in the "read memory' step.
Great, but in practice, someone who does the same (and has done for 100 years) will be sued 5 years from now, though their setup doesn't include the elevated platform.
So it wasn't "prior art" because it didn't have the elevated platform, but is actionable because it's close enough to be infringing.
There's nothing wrong with patents. There's just something wrong with obvious ones. White cycloramas are common. Elevated platforms is common. Multiple light sources is common. Geometry is common. If they are patenting that *exact* combination of those common and non-novel devices, then they should also be banned from going after the guy doing the same thing with 6 lights, or any other geometry.
I'd be for a system that voted on blame, with ties won by the local car, but to value the driver at exactly the same as everyone else, how do you decide? What if the pedestrian was pushed? How would it affect your decision (or your car's decision) if you knew they were pushed, how about if you only found out after?
Yeah, you "buy" the game, but "rent" the servers everyone else connects to. Connecting to unofficial MMORPG servers is (or should be) legal for the client, but probably illegal for the person running the server. The client owns the game. But not the servers that you connect to. But disabling a "owned" game with local play (like Diablo III) is bad form.

2 to 10 minutes in a 4 hour spot is 3-16%? Perhaps the number would be 2 minutes for spots of 60 minutes or less, and up to 10 minutes for 4-8+ hour spots.
So the fix is to create a common queue for parking. Right?

Demand for free parking can't exceed the number of cars in the area. That's not infinite.

Odd I can't find it online. I can't find it on WBZ's site either.
The problem is that the family of the dead person won't be good with that, and will sue someone for more than reasonable costs.
