Incorrect.

The city is threatening landlords with fine for the activities of their renters. The landlords are evicting people, not the city.

You should also read this article analyzing the issue from an owner's perspective. You'll note that it doesn't suggest that the San Francisco has the ability to evict the tenant... merely to fine the landlord.

The landlords evict to avoid the fine, and also because the renter has clearly violated the rental agreement.

You're referring to the civet, more like a cat than a rodent. If you search for "cat poop coffee" you'll find all kinds of information that you probably would rather not know.

This is not necessarily true. I am an expert in Wikipedia, and I can tell you that over history several other families of luthiers, including the Guarneri and Amati families, were considered to be the finest. However, at this particular period in history, the Stradivari family is seen as superior.

A violin made in the 1700s is still worth a lot of money, it just doesn't sound any better.

Irrelevant. You expect your landlord to uphold his end of the lease, why should he not expect you to uphold your end of lease.

It sounds to me like landlords enforcing the rental agreement. The agreement is between the renter and the landlord, not some unknown unvetted third party.

I'm not sure I want to live in a building where other renters are sub renting to random people on a daily basis. Seriously, these people need to get a hotel room, and if they can't afford a hotel room, well, what could go wrong?

And naturally the thing being created is currently very "sexy" in the tech world - a UAV! Why, the uses are unlimited! Amazon can deliver products to the products (you and I), and, and, and...

I think there are many great possibilities for 3D printing beyond the UAV / plastic gun craze, though.

I don't agree with your opinion, but really this has little to do with the issue at hand.

It's the DMCA takedown laws that allow this.

Thanks Phil. It would be interesting to see an analysis of the relative speed, it looks fairly difficult to do because it looks like the rock is coming in at an angle (although it's hard to tell without much of a frame of reference).

Oops, you're not the GP. I didn't check the name, I don't know if you're a skydiver or not.

You're missing the point. The skydiver is not at rest either. It is not traveling at the absolute speed of 300km/h, it is traveling 300 km/h faster than the diver. Go ahead and count the number of seconds between when he pops his chute, and when the rock flies by, and tell me if that is enough time for the rock to accelerate to a speed of 300km/h relative to the diver while still being above him.

What you're suggesting is that the rock would have had to have been launched directly upward at a relatively high velocity, in order for it to have time to come to a stop, then start accelerating downward such that, when it passed the slower diver, it was moving substantially faster than he was. There is not enough time for that to happen.

It's cool that you're a skydiver, I admire that, but these people have been looking at this for 2 years. The guy in question owns his own wing suit and other gear. The guy in question does not think it came from him. I hope you can respect his experience and acknowledge that your own experience does not necessarily outweigh his. Your'e not the only person with skydiving experience in this situation.

I acknowledge that, yeah, it's possible for a rock to be launched out of a chute if it was packed with the chute. But that's not the situation that I see in the video.

That's a long post, but it fails to address how the rock got to the speed of several hundred km per hour by the time it flew past him.

The aircraft that was obviously below him when the rock flew by?
