Is there a legal reason SpaceX can't have a lottery for tickets? Seems like a good way to fund these types of things.

It's the transient in temperature that has most of the risk. As things cool at different rates you get stresses, seals can fail, cryos rapidly boil. Once you are chilled and in replenish things are pretty calm.

What's wrong with optical scan? We use it in my country and its great. Just fill in the line. What's nice is you can 50 people in a room filling out the forms and one or two scanning machines that read then in a second and depot the paper in a locked box. Instant check to make sure you votes and o dublicates and easy to rescan later or manually count.

Because they are the only ones that would have that data. If you use national or state crime statistics it is logical to discriminate against groups that have significantly higher crime rates. But who knows what it is for the AirBnB subset?

You don't know that. Maybe for the black population as a whole it would be high but Airbnb is a particular subset.

Young men are charged more for car insurance because they are a higher risk. When there was a free market in healthcare women were charged more because they use it more. Smokers were charged more as well.

If they really wanted to show that discrimination was unfounded they would post the data proving that African American Airbnb users are no more likely to commit crime or cause damage than other renters.

The judge will most likely not allow the jury to hear that.

Agreed. That's why I mentioned it as a legitimate function of government.

What ever happened to my body, my choice? Is it only true when you are killing the unborn?

Maybe we don't need to get rid of the FDA but just change it so it can't prohibit drugs. It can give the FDA "Seal of Approval" for drugs that meet it's standards. You should be allowed to sell any compound. As long as it's labeled properly and accurately the drug maker shouldn't be liable for any side effects. After all Peanuts are a great, cheap source of protein. But they also kill some people. It's should be up to the patient and doctor to figure out what effects particular drugs will have.

Intellectual monopolies need to end. Without the FDA there is no justification for them anyway as you can bring a drug to market quickly and the competition to manufacture them cheaply will drastically lower prices.

These are common carriers after all.

No because this is a professional team that is wearing Polo shirts with the mission patch instead of being attention seekers. They realize they represent thousands of people that dedicated a decade of their lives to make this work.

The reason jaywalking is illegal is because it is dangerous. Your death is the result of your action not a penalty.

How else was she supposed to get bribes from all of those Third world nations with a normal spam filter?

It actually a very clever strategy similar to an angler fish. You have this distracting thing staring your right in the face so you can't pay attention to what is really going on. It's an old sales tactic that works.

And who is doing the enforcing?
