Back when Foursquare was more popular, I always felt their ratings were much more accurate than Yelp’s. They use(d?) a ternary neutral/thumbs up/thumbs down.

Not sure of their algorithm to generate a score of 1-10 – it’s possible it used more information than just the ternary rating — but their ratings could vary dramatically from sites like Yelp that used the usual 1-5 stars, and seemed to track much more closely to the actual quality of restaurants.

It's the very similar-looking Beaver Building/Cocoa exchange: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_Wall_Street_Court

The current strategy most places is effectively make people too miserable _not_ to own a car. The idea here is to give those who would prefer not to depend on one (i.e., don’t own one or have one they don’t need to use all the time) a pleasant life, subject to less of the negative side effects of cars.

If you end up in Manhattan: Mercer Street Books, Alabaster Bookshop, and Joanne Hendricks Cookbooks are some of my favorites. The latter two aren’t necessarily cheap but have some really cool stuff.

Given that legislation will realistically never keep pace with technology, would it be crazy to implement whitelist data collection law, i.e., no data can be collected unless explicitly allowed? Hypothetically, of course — congress actually putting something like this into law is a different story.
