Comment Re:An inefficient exchange (Score 1) 240

Though these arbitrage opportunities may exist, the act of exchange would render them worthless. Even with a hypothetically perfect market established, the amount of effort required by two parties to submit ticket info, match needs, and go through an exchange outweighs the efficiencies gained by the transaction.

A mobile app and some clever marketing goes a long way. GPS would make this easy.

Comment Re:SF is easier to hack than that (Score 4, Interesting) 240

If you're in SF and just trying to go somewhere else in SF, just do what everyone else does and either hop a bus and don't pay the fare or hop the turnstyles and don't pay the fare. If you're trying to go across the bay to Oakland, be more careful, but still, if you don't want to pay, just don't. When I was living there in 2012, this worked 100% of the time that I couldn't afford a trip or didn't feel like paying. The buses are the easiest because you can board on the back. And another thing that's supposed to be happening is a tiered pricing system. But anyway, you don't have to go to much trouble to get around free/cheap in SF, but it seems like it would have been a fun study to conduct.

I bet you like the smell of your own farts too. You do realize how unethical that is right?

Comment Re:VirtualBox (Score 1) 158

Development PCs require a different set of tools for different developers. Even on the same project someone will invariably want to use their own favorite tool. A developer cannot depend on IT or a sys admin to install something that they might need. A virtual machine can allow for custom development environments without affecting other users. Virtual machines will also help when you need to do some testing.

Comment Re:Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Score 1) 501

A individual plan for a healthy individual with adequate benefits and a reasonable deductible is somewhere between $175-$350. I used to pay $60 a month several years ago for the cheapest plan. I only go to the doc if I'm very sick or need stiches. $750 is a bit excessive unless you have some medical needs. Obama care does cover significantly more things than I use.

RF chambers feel like coffins and definitely are not for the claustrophobic. Additionally they are not that rare . Anechoic chambers are in practically every place that does RF testing or RF engineering. See if you can find one at your local University. This article was clearly not written for scientists or engineers.
