A Case for Abolishing Parking Tickets
Ardeshiri is essentially proposing that you pay for your parking only after you know how much of it you need. Most current metered parking systems ask people to guess ahead of time, and then punish people who guess wrong (either via a parking ticket, or by pocketing the excess money of people over overestimate how much time they’ll need). As Ardeshiri puts it, his system also creates “subsidy-free pricing,” in which the costly citations given to some drivers no longer subsidize parking for everyone else.

Rdio 2.0 is an example of what a streaming service’s iOS client should be like. I’m glad to be a subscriber.
