I haven't heard of y'all before, but this sounds really interesting. I often think that optimizing supply chains is about extracting wins for everyone, and I'm interested to see how it adapts as the freight industry changes.
Like others I don't understand the pricing here. For comparison in 2017, FB made $84 per US user, and $27 per EU user. So you're already paying more than you 'pay' facebook.

I'd expect it to be more profitable than facebook at this price
This is certainly something that happen already. I'm driving, SO needs to drop off a letter, or pick up coffee, or some other sub-5 minute task. You can bet I'm going to be circling the block, because making right turns orders of magnitude easier than thinking about looking for parking. I suppose you could do this most existing ride services' non-shared options, but there certainly isn't a 'real' way to do this. before self-driving cars take on this role, we might have to think about how something like this would be handled.
The way I handle this in the Bay Area is keep an extra autoload Clipper card for any guests that are coming to visit. hand it off to them when they get here. It's pretty easy to let them know how much to settle up for when they depart.
I'm not sure how most visitors to the bay get in but two desks at SFO and OAK across from baggage claim seem like a good start to implement the same kind of solution.
Or, for an ethical gray-area solution if your guest has only a one way trip (like to the airport): give them a Clipper card with some minimal ($2) balance. They should be able to go to their destination regardless of the fare. The card’s balance will go negative, but they can just throw it away.
The BART gates won't let you out if you don't have enough money on a ticket, so you'd have to jump the gate or add funds at a kiosk (think the same applies for cards, too).
It's one of two ways. It's either the hash algorithm hashes are strong enough to prevent manufactured hash collisions (not just accidental ones) and the gov could convict on the hashes alone, meaning the files aren't needed and the All Writs Act is not appropriate, so he's not in contempt. OR the hashes wouldn't stand the trial by themselves, and leaves a much weaker argument for the need to decrypt because you're less certain that it would contain the files you think it does.
I think the specifics in this case, Like the sister's testimony, go against the second possibly weakening their argument.
If prices do rise, that's still indirectly bad for Facebook. While in the short term they are going to make more due to the price increase, other ad networks will follow the trend and increase their own pricing/ restrict supply. This would make other content on the web more profitable, and produce better content removing some of that traffic from facebook. If high price ads are better (less clickbait e.g.) then this would be a benefit for consumers.
