No, a municipality can require nothing beyond a business license to sell services in their jurisdiction.

Battle Royales work in the video game world because I can just queue up immediately after elimination.

Can't do that when I'm with my friends for the evening.

>> I feel deranged pointing this out, but hiring triple the headcount you need to run your business is not a progressive social value. I don't know what it is.

There's a certain bay area company that has a large developer office here in my rural state. They've been hiring as fast as they can for the past few years. From all my friends who work there, I get the impression that there are way more people now than there is actual work to do. And yet they continue to hire because I assume head count alone is primary metric.

Just wait until there is a BFR supplied gas station in orbit for such an occasion.

The point of the post is that there is no way to opt out. We all understand more datapoints the better. But I also need to not be fucked with when I'm trying to work.

My daughter is 6 and has a couple of band tshirts she saw at Target. The rule was she had to listen to a couple of the songs before we bought them. Landed on Nirvana and Pink Floyd. Loves those bands now.

Because a midrange sedan in the US is comparable to a cheap Chinese car.

I've been pretty happy with Passbolt so far. We've got it running on a local server. Groups of passwords are really nice.

That was my point with Tesla; it's absurd at $50B and they build real things and develop real technologies.

I have a hard time with the idea that SpaceX sits somewhere around $12B and Tesla around $50B (with most people arguing even that is absurd).

So to value Priceline at $100B is insanity.

I really hate the naming trend over the past 10-15 years of using common words for projects.

I can't really search for Espresso, or Jupiter, or Andromeda without additional qualifiers that I may not know yet.
