I'm curious about this too. Amazon mistakenly sent me an echo 2 instead of a dot. They refunded me the cost of the dot, but apparently the echo serial number was reported lost/stolen in their system so it is unusable. They told me to just throw it out, but seems like a waste of perfectly good hardware.
Don't most licenses only require the source to be available when it ships to end users?
I guess we could nitpick over the word "after" but if they ship the first phones 8am and release the code at 1pm I think it still complies.
Yep. The issue is most markets is due to regulation. If hotels can't meet the price and availability needs in a market then the issue is the regulation. For temporary events that is understandable, but continued restraint on hotels makes no sense.
Ultimately the question is whether the market is constrained by supply or price. If the constrait is price, then hotels should be able to adjust and stop charging ridiculous default rates in urban areas. If the market is constrained by supply eventually it will be economically viable to build new units.
That's not to say that Airbnb should not be regulated similarly to hotels. Imo if you provide a nearly identical service you should follow the same regulations
Saying something is possible is a far cry from saying it is something "most" are planning.
Dink dink dink! We have a winner!
Grab the blade and flick it while holding the blade. The weight of the handle will pull it open (at least partially). That is enough to qualify under this law unfortunately.
631 representatives for ~82 million people
vs. 535 representatives for ~323 million people in the US
The arbitrary capping of the size of the House of Representatives to 435 members is one of the biggest issues I have with the structure of the US legislature.
