   I don’t think the accepted wisdom is that pre packaged meals are bad vs what you cook yourself it’s the quality that matters. It processed foods vs non processed foods. You can get posh TV dinners that are good for you but you pay for them.

   I have so many questions … main one being in a world where “free” is synonymous with privacy violation, is there something I should be concerned about here? Are they making money some how? Who? I’m just so blown away by this, but such a jad

    Yeah that’s what they want you to think. Just like how Ireland has the highest GDP in Europe or some nonsense

    Please add some details or citation to this. It’s a fascinating idea and I’d like to know more. I mean YC is literally in the business of startup businesses but your whole remark about the homeless guys has thrown me perhaps it needs \&#x2F

    It goes on everywhere. New York is the same. Ireland is an outlier in the fact that her ascendancy coincided with the US tech boom and language was an advantage. You have a very awkward situation developing and the current political leaders

    You think this stuff doesn’t go on in Paris or Frankfurt? Luxembourg is a whole city state dedicated to this kind of thing. They’re just better at keeping under the radar and probably have better PR.

    We have FF+FG, a pantomime to collectively keep the conservatives in power, and we have everybody else. FF+FG have been in power almost continuously since the formation of the state.
