What's your website since you mentioned it?
"Subscribing" to the comment, since I would also like to know. I didn't know this thing exists, and it is such a hot topic for me that I kinda contemplated if I could somehow start it myself.

> How is pricing by available time to wait any more fair than pricing by available money to spend? Because its a lot easier to get someplace early on your day off than it is to suddenly get into another tax bracket. Even poor people usually get at least one day off every single week. Restricting access by income level is going to leave most people who don't earn enough locked out for their entire lives because upward…
No? Those who earn less can save up money, it’s not like it will cost millions of dollars either. And money is a lot more fungible than time, so in literally the dictionary sense, it is just as fair or even better (assuming the pricing stays below say a monthly salary).

Welcome to France! France is built on the idea that the public can't be trusted, has not really reached adulthood (won't ever) and needs to be coached by an army of civil servants whose job is to protect the State and its finances. It's not corruption, exactly; it's the idea that the interests of the State are paramount, and everything else doesn't really matter. If the State sells reproductions of Rodin's work, well…

So how are museums in Singapore treating 3D scans?
> ... are in fact administrative documents and by law must be made available to the public. They can still utterly frustrate you in the way they do this. They could fe print them out layer by layer and only show these in a specific "viewing room". I have seen my government (Belgium) use this strategy when it comes to architectural plans. In essence, it's public (you can access them) but it's also rather useless.
'“But the plans were on display…” “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.” “That’s the display department.” “With a flashlight.” “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.” “So had the stairs.” “But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?” “Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did.

You seriously think that other people should have to save up weeks of pay to go to the museum so that you don't have be to near people when you go?
I don’t want to vacation to any tourist attraction anytime soon, let alone the places that are currently overcrowded.
And if this is your own subconscious desire, it’s a bit bizarre to insert it this deep into a comment chain…

Did you just make up an argument with yourself? I don’t want to vacation to any tourist attraction anytime soon, let alone the places that are currently overcrowded. And if this is your own subconscious desire, it’s a bit bizarre to insert it this deep into a comment chain…
Someone mentioned prices should be increased to reduce demand, and here we are.
Reminds me of The Digital Michelangelo Project lead by Marc Levoy at Stanford: https://accademia.stanford.edu/mich/

That was the entire point of the comment thread you are replying to. Someone mentioned prices should be increased to reduce demand, and here we are.
