If you want my data on a paid API basis, then ask me about it. I need to know how big the demand is for third party users before I even prioritize building a paid API, having the god damn courtesy to ask for something would give me an idea.

When you encrypt the message, you are not exactly stringing people along wasting their time. When they say that they'll send a car to the inspector, they are tying up regulators' resources in order to sneak away. That's inter

I see the civil disobedience argument thrown around here now. Are you seriously saying that running a business without complying to regulations is a civil right? Yes, the regulations can be argued to be whacky, but I don't see how they

So give the students fresh, healthy, nutritional food for free and then you can rightfully blame the parents for giving the kid junk. Pointing fingers does nothing, offer an alternative and let the other side shoot it down and you can hones

With the risk of being snarky, I think the endgame is to make people more productive by using the stick. I.e coercing parents into working harder by threatening to humiliate their child. I don't think it will work out that well, though

Wouldn't it be nice if schools were funded enough to provide every child with a full stomach, which is very helpful when you're trying to learn something, and the adults training to become soldiers would have to pay for their own

And this is where the tribalism comes in to play. At some point, governments have to do what's fair and not what the angry mob they represents want. White Europeans might've wanted colonialism hundreds of years ago, and to this da

I didn't say that, I said that even if only a few people could move it could help. You asked "How would that help?" I'm not saying that remittances from some lucky people who have the means to move are the solution to wo

> How does that help? Letting in a small percentage of the population while the rest still lives in terrible conditions isn't much of a solution. One word; remittances. They already make up far more money than foreign aid, and the b

The problem with your argument is that it can be applied to births as well; if we allow mentally disabled people to be born, could we not then argue that the benefit is one sided and not the society they're born into? Basically, what y
