The article doesn't say the fish flesh has plastic bits in it.

Time shifting is perfectly legal under fair use for your own use, but not when you do it for someone else.

Is it one of those things, like sex and human organs, that you can give away for free but you can't charge money for it?

Why not both at the same time?

alcohol-related events, like car accidents

That's self-contradictory. Here's a quote from the New York Police Department:

"There's no criminality," an NYPD spokesman told Metro. "That's why they call it an accident."

An alcohol-related car crash involves criminality and therefore cannot be an accident, logically speaking, if those who enforce the law are to be believed.

Don't try to grow stuff in urban environments. Growing food on a farm and trucking it in (or better yet hauling it on an electric train) is a far more efficient and greener use of land than single-family homes with back yards.

"If you love nature, stay away from it." --Henry David Thoreau

If you can harvest enough energy from radio waves to operate a radio receiver, why couldn't you add in enough capacitors to drive an intermittent Bluetooth beacon?

I wrote a traffic metrics recording and forecasting program for a transportation research company a few years back.

Roundabouts are the WORST thing there is for an uncontrolled intersection.

Your software disagrees with reality.

People cannot sell things they do not own. That is public space they are trying to sell.

That makes it like prostitution: you can't sell it but you can give it away for free.

it delays the person's departure thereby reducing effective parking availability.

Yes, but it also eliminates the parking shortage for as long as that parking space is on the market. Remember, a shortage is when you can't buy something at any price, so when you put a price on a parking space when all other spaces are filled, you've temporarily eliminated the shortage of parking spaces.

[Using] phones while driving which in San Francisco is a crime...

No it isn't.

Instead of adding a new law to the books, wouldn't it be better to eliminate the parking shortage, and therefore any ability for third parties to make a profit, by raising the price of parking during peak times and using that revenue to build more parking or lower everyone's taxes?

And eliminating the parking shortage by making a spot available to the highest bidder is somehow worse than hoarding a parking space all day (because you can park there all day for free if you get there before it fills up) instead of taking the bus or BART to work?

My only problem with this app is that the money doesn't go back to the city to help lower everyone's taxes. But this isn't the fault of the app developers, it's the fault of the city for creating the shortage by setting the price below market equilibrium.
