I disagree with your statement that they are not at all different from a payday loan service. Payday loan services' model is to roll over debt so you can never escape needing them. LendUp pretty clearly has a program in place (their &

I see your point, but I'm not sure beautician licensure requirements are a good place to point out how difficult it is for poorer people to get into. In my experience, it's a very lower-middle or lower socioeconomic status profess

Just wanted to say thank you to you guys for following up my comment with a couple that really made me learn and think a little more. As I approach my mid-30s, I realize that both liberals and conservatives are so incredibly biased in their

On one hand, it's isn't a false choice -- the reality is that if you want to support a political candidate in the US in 2016, you're making that exact choice. On the other, I totally agree -- they both want to legislate moral

Your mental model is pretty accurate for a rough sketch. Those terms are all used in a similar manner depending on who you talk to. Personally, I go with the most general usage of API: an interface to interact with programmatically.

GP is asking for examples of when copyrighting an API would be a problem. They used web APIs because that's apparently what they are most easily able to call to mind. I've found many programmers think of APIs as ways of interacti

My understanding of Facebook advertising is that it's somewhat similar to this. I believe you are limited to $500/day budget until you prove yourself a trustworthy partner by building a reputation as such. You do this by running

Can you explain what you mean a little more? It seems like by having complete medical records, there would be a great deal you could infer statistically. Do you mean that it's not sufficient to have a medical record that doesn't

This is definitely true. But even with awareness of the inaccurate representation, I think some of the message seeps into the brain of even the most aware human. Then realize how unusual it is. Most people do not have the critical thinkin

Baseball implemented the luxury tax system, which operates at a soft cap. So while it's technically accurate to say no salary cap, there does exist a financial mechanism by which team payrolls (and by association, player salaries) are

I believe your content added nothing to the discussion except drive-by sarcasm, and thus met the HN quality guidelines for downvotes. Your combative tone is what provided the impetus for people to downvote you. Then aggressively challenging

This is all true, but it assumes optimal data retention by retailers, and a government agency with the skills (and willpower) to do the legwork. In reality, I would expect that one or more of those elements in the chain to be broken. Retai

Your tone is critical, aggressive, and makes no attempt to do anything other than express your personal experience. I believe this is why you receive downvotes -- your comment only serves to further your personal agenda and does not add to

Part of the role of a government apparatus is to enforce social norms. Culture plays a similar role. They aren't the same thing, but they do have similar attributes. Please note that I am not criticizing any governments or culture; I
