The author themselves said this was their first time writing long form. I chalk most of your complaints up to this and the fact that english is his second language.

What would you use all of the extra rooms for? One room for each person to sleep, a laundry room, a couple bathrooms, and a great room with living, dining, and kitchen is all you ever really need right?

I find it's best to look at laws like this as social trends. Look at the way that same sex marriage or legal marijuana spreads through the united states. One or two progressive states adopt the policy, it gains steam, and soon it's the new norm nationwide.

I like to think that the same thing can happen on a global scale.

It's just standing for 37 minutes. I suppose you engage your core a bit here and there, but it really isn't an exercise like biking would be.

I love these scooters BTW, super convenient!

I'd actually be down with this, but only if facebook gave user's the ability to lock their own data down at fair market price. That way the user pays for a product, or decides to be the product. It's clean and cut & dry; and there wouldn't be any illusions of a "free" service.

This is a case where an Artist has confused themselves with a designer. Designers solve problems, often by using existing conventions to help an interface/tool/object/room be instantly usable and understandable.

An artist flexes their creativity and communicates thoughts through imagery/experience/sound.

Choosing to enforce a speeding law is still subjective though, so this wouldn't change much. We speed all over California, police choose to go after the most dangerous (or least conforming to community standards, or... some other even less good measure, like race).

Most policing is subjective.

it might be more accurate to describe suffering as an optional subconscious process. You suffer by default, but you can choose to not suffer with the right amount of mindfulness. As for the cat, again, the cat might not have the mental fortitude to set aside the suffering.

They might not have the ability to ignore things quite as well as a human can, but the same concept applies. Many dogs will ignore their own pain to help another in need. Not indulging in pain takes a discipline of mind that most animals are incapable of in most situations.

Is anyone working on an app that can do this? There were those parking ticket negotiating apps for a bit. I wonder if there is a way to systemize the negotiation process here. I bet you could charge people up to 10% of the money you save them.

I love this kid! We need more like him, who are willing to put their ideas into action :)

Weaver birds, beavers, bees, ants, termites, etc... Hell, we could even call shelled animals like snails and turtles mobile buildings :P

I really want this in an arcade cabinet for a streetfighter-esque game, or side scroller!

Design is how something works. Glass rectangles are currently the best solution for mobile computing. This is how design works, Someone innovates, the industry copies the design, minor tweaks are made until another breakthrough happens (usually driven by tech, not design).

Designers don't suck a design, designers solve problems, and often the best solutions all look the same until there is a real tech break-though.

There are a bunch of accounts of marijuana working for pain. Try something high in CBD, ideally an indica.
