That comparison is dishonest. You are claiming that if rmrfstar can't do it, it doesn't exist. If a given forum commenter does not know how to buy someone's cell-tower location does not mean that an experienced practitioner could not, etc. for the other data.

You created a false dichotomy where either OP can do it or it doesn't exist, then told me I created the dichotomy. Weird stuff

FUD is an effective tactic. There are documented examples of each in my comment history.

Then perhaps the commentator shouldn't leave comments about things they know nothing about. They were challenged and have not even supplied any evidence. I don't know how to buy 1000 random credit cards but if someone payed me to I could quickly find out. > Real-time AirBnB booking I doubt this is even close to true. And the concept a different random person magically knows because they are in the news is logically inconsistent.

  There aren't any references to this going 90 days back, other than the same exact list as the original comment. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24210623 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24210623 I don't understand why you have to other me into a FUDdy opponent here, I did as best as I could to incentivize and create a situation where you gained heavily from simply explaining your claims.

    Prescription history is 58 days back. Others are farther back. This stuff is common knowledge, and documented extensively in the press. Your own comment history includes a number of instances where you either minimize or deny the seriousness of surveillance capitalism. You are spreading FUD, and I'm calling that out. Moreover, your "offer" is one of the most degrading and distasteful rhetorical techniques for asserting certainty that I've ever seen. There is no difference between your "offer" and Mitt Romney's wager in the 2011 presidential debate. This technique convinces no-one, but carries the odious implication that the person you are speaking to is for sale.

      It's called a prediction market. What you were offered was a little different and better for you but the same idea. It forces you to actually think about your claim and work out how true it really is. I wouldn't expect you to actually take them up on the $ but I'd expect a screen shot you took of where you could do one of those things you claim. But not even a link to crappy media was given and you agreeed the person willing to do the work was spreading FUD.
