I like the idea that the truck is the warehouse. Of course it's an issue to get an item out if it's buried, but that's just a limitation on how tight you can pack the truck.

Putting things on pallets might let you slide them around and manage the space better. Also, I don't know the weather in SF, but I'd never trust the floor of a box truck to stay dry in the Midwest, and pallets keep things off the floor.

A make-or-break will be how much unsold stuff you end up driving around. I wonder if there's some way you can discourage stratospheric speculative pricing, by offering a better commission if the seller lets you set the starting price.

You make an interesting argument, though I cannot imagine how any foreign power would have a greater influence on politics than the existing farm lobby (, as is true both in the USA and Europe).

I am also unconvinced that foreign aid (and other instruments of foreign relations) are largely being used for the purpose of obtaining oil. If one closely examines the history of OPEC, there is little evidence that it has had any significant impact on the determination of oil prices since the 1970s. Foreign aid seems to be used for all sorts of unproductive (and sometimes unintelligible) reasons, which can easily be demonstrated by looking at where the foreign aid budget is spent. A large proportion of foreign affairs spending appears to be on mercantilist ventures, which often overlap with oil extraction, but is clearly a very different motive.

That's absurd. "Sabre-rattling" means attempting to intimidate by displays of military power (or implied military power). See: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sabre-rattling?s=t&pa...

Both links you cited specifically rule out military intervention. Allow me to quote from your first link:

Quotes from your first link:

----

"Argentina will seek legal punishment, including prison sentences, for anyone who drills for oil in the Falklands and the surrounding waters it claims as its territories, the country's newly created Malvinas secretary has told the Guardian.
[...]
In his first interview with the international media since taking the post on Monday, Daniel Filmus also warned that companies involved in exploration of the disputed areas will be disqualified from potentially more lucrative work in Vaca Muerta (the giant shale oil deposit in Argentina's Patagonia region) and offshore areas.

"We will go to the international courts. It must be known that Argentina will defend its claim," Filmus told the Guardian at his office in the ministry of foreign affairs. "Whoever doesn't obtain authorisation will not only face administrative consequences but will also face prison sentences.""

----

You may or may not like Argentina's policies and position on the matter of the Malvinas, but all this is:

a- Not military posturing.
b- Within legal bounds. See mentions of legal action, prison sentences, international courts. I don't see any threats of military aggression, do you?

So we can rule out sabre-rattling from your first link. Let's go on with your second link.

First sentence after the heading of second link:

----

"Argentinian foreign minister rules out military solution but says 'not one single country' supports UK right to govern islands"

----

So a military solution is ruled out then? I rest my case.

By definition sabre-rattling means aggressive displays of power.

Argentina in democracy has continued to assert their sovereign rights over the Malvinas Islands via diplomatic means. You are fully entitled to believe the claim is invalid or wrong, but this that not make it sabre-rattling. Sabre-rattling is making veiled threats of invasion, suspicious missile tests, flybys by military aircraft, and in general any display of military power.

If by sabre-rattling you merely mean "Argentina continues to complain about the issue using strong language and tries to bring it to international courts", then that's a pretty misleading wording.

Private well rights can be handled in a variety of different ways, such as the sale of an aquifer to some person who will have a stake in its preservation, maintenance, and long-term existence. One might even consider banning (or heavily restricting) well rights, which would then have the impact of incentivizing the construction and operation of desalinization plants (and other potable water producers), in the presence of a well-functioning market (with market prices).

> but the system is not completely broken

That's demagogy. Completely or not completely is irrelevant. If it's passing through tons of patents like that and doesn't provide adequate means to prevent patent abuse - it requires a thorough reform. Those who claim that the system is not broken want to keep the status quo, because they benefit from the junk patents and patent abuse.

What's your evidence that it's perfect?

For example, a startup with hardly any funding comes up with a very innovative idea to tackle a problem, they start working on it with very little funding. Facebook grabs the idea, implements it in a month, exposes it to a billion users and the startup just dies.

What's the incentive for the next innovators to create a startup in such conditions?

"What's the point of trying to create something novel since Facebook or Apple will just copy us and crush us".

Not exactly a perfect system now, is it?
If you must point out that "discontinuities" is incorrect, then you should explain why, because otherwise you're just blowing smoke.

I think it's perfectly reasonable. Let X be the amount of water a person needs to live. The amount a person is willing to pay for a unit of water when they already have X is finite. The amount a person is willing to pay when they don't have X is infinite. Thus, there is a discontinuity at X.

Thanks! I taught myself to code in high school, mostly by messing around with little Flash game experiments with Actionscript. In my senior year of high school I taught myself Objective-C and built an iPad app for a summer internship (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/north-star-smart-stars-surve...). I didn't learn iOS game programming specifically until college, where I participated in a one-month class/competition that taught the Cocos2d game engine.

Many sources of depression stem from feeling trapped with no way out, or to be controlled in such a way that's counter to their sense of self (they feel out of control and unable to influence their own destiny, leaving an unfillable void at the center of their emotions) -- suicide often becomes a way for the individual to assert their self and grant themselves agency in these circumstances.

I've had combat explained to me like this. Imagine you're out in the world one day, grocery shopping, and a guy starts threatening you in the parking lot. In the normal world, you call the police or defend yourself if you need to, or get in your car and drive away. But your options are significantly limited. This problem or situation has other possible outcomes, but society has put artificial constraints the eliminates several effective resolutions.

A soldier in war has far fewer constraints. If some guy is bothering them, they can simply kill that person and resolve the issue. Or they can run them over in their armored vehicle, or bayonet them, or beat them with their rifle until they stop moving. An entire world of options opens up that allows you to simply resolve conflicts -- even if these resolutions are frowned upon in the normal society. Society sets up all these lines you can't cross, except in war you can cross all over them.

There's thousands of these kinds of issues in warfare, where normally impossible issues suddenly become trivial. Need to get from point A to point B? Steal a car. Need to get information from a guy? Beat him till he talks. Building in the way? Blow it up.

When a solider returns home, suddenly these societal restraints are locked back on them. You're suddenly told that you can't cross these lines anymore. But as anybody who's engaged in any kind of social line crossing can talk about, it's hard to roll that back once you've done it. As a result they feel trapped and disempowered. Having previously had literal power over life and death, you're suddenly trying to figure out how to fight with a soccer mom and her kids over a parking spot at the mall -- and you're trying to keep yourself blocked in by lines you now know aren't really there.

In combat you could just declare the minivan a threat and open up the 30 cal. Here you might have to go find another spot.

Wow, so by example I should file this patent:

Method and Apparatus for Making Lots of Money

1. File an over broad patent by (a) describing an everyday procedure currently commonly preformed by humans and (b) adding "performed by a computer" to your claim. Alternatively, purchase a similar over broad patent from someone else.

2. Identify companies which utilize procedures which may fall under your patent.

3. Identify other companies that may utilize procedures slightly (or even barely) resembling those covered by your patent.

4. Determine prevailing legal fees for a patent defense case in the given area for each of the companies identified in steps 2 and 3.

5. Call all of those companies identified in steps 2 and 3 and threaten to sue them unless they settle for the sum of 80% of the prevailing legal fees identified in step 4.

6. Preform steps 1 through 5 using a computer.
Their product is presumably not photo tagging or recording GPS data. These are just components they need for their actual product to work.
When you talk about "innovating" here you are actually saying "finding way of achieving something that's different enough from the most convenient way (because someone has already thought of that)". That's no innovation at all; all that would do would be stopping them from launching their product until they figure out a way around the problem. By blocking entrepreneur's paths, patents prevent them from releasing their possibly innovative products, thus preventing innovation.
Like Stackoverflow?

How about an (edited) tag when they are changed and a quick why?
Yes, it's hard to make a perfect system, because it's not easy to define what should not be patentable (since it's broader than just software and criteria should be more generic to be applied well). Declaring software unpatentable can solve part of the problem, but it's not a generic solution, rather a workaround.

However it's clear that banning software patents at least would already improve it. I.e. such workaround is better than the current level of broken.

> Facebook grabs the idea, implements it in a month, exposes it to a billion users and the startup just dies.

That makes an assumption that software patents should be used for preventing others from "grabbing the idea". That's invalid. You can protect your software with copyright, or for example make it open and ensure contributions from derivative works with copyleft. But to be competitive one doesn't need software patents which cause all kind of crooked damage.
In some courts in the US this does occur, and is generally considered by other countries to be a bad idea. As judges tend to get chosen by by their stance on certain issues, which means that different jurisdictions have different political and social leanings. You can decide cases just be getting it in-front of the right judge in the right jurisdiction. It undermines the effectiveness and impartialness of the law.

"Discontinuities" is incorrect because supply and demand curves are often discrete and almost always non-smooth (due to quantization and many other reasons), but always continuous. This is partly because of how supply and demand curves are defined, but also because of the reasoning behind them. Economy-wide supply and demand can be understood as the result of the supply and demand of each participating person; because each person's supply and demand curves each have unique properties, they cannot all coincide in a manner so as to produce a discontinuity. Moreover, if you examine the supply and demand of each individual, there is no discontinuity, as, for example, no sane person would value water at $5/L for <=20L and $4 for >20L (though that may end up being how it is priced for a single person, it does not demonstrate any fundamental discontinuity in the supply or demand, as pricing scheme vary for an infinite number of reasons).

With respect to the BMW example, I still stand by it, and I did not originally mean that BMW represented the entire transportation industry; their fundamental similarity is what is important here. There is nothing special about he market for water, and using transportation capital goods as a bridge between the water market and the luxury automobile market demonstrates their fundamental similarities well (though I would not suggest flushing a bus down the toilet).
