hnmonkey··on Trump Administration Approves a Plan to Drill for Oil in the Arctic
Complicit isn't really the right word at all. For many Americans (probably most) that have a job, they have to get to their job to make money to continue to exist and support themselves and their families. Because of the lack of public transportation (also not their fault) they more than likely need a car. In order to get things they need for their household they have to go shop for them (using a car) or ordering them (having them delivered). Also, I'm not sure how you think the average person influences the energy policies for the fire department, police, Amazon, or car manufacturers. For most people they have no say in any of this and use the things they need to to continue to get by. We are not all complicit, especially considering complicit is defined as illegal or wrongdoing.

Your comment seems to imply the average person has the same power, capabilities, lobbying ability, voice, free time on their hands, and money that someone in the government/politics/large lobbying firm/large corporation would have to dedicate to these things. I'm pretty sure for most people that's not the case at all.

Here is at least one, and it might be the worst spill in US history. It has been all over the news over the past couple of weeks and was a very easy google away. The EPA along with other organizations like the Coast Guard were lied to by the company that owns the well and also seemingly looked the other way for the most part under the guise that it wasn't really that big of a leak so it's fine to let it continue to fester. Clearly however, they were not doing the envrionmental protection part of their name.

To add to this... it appears that FAF is referenced elsewhere in this thread by mrguyorama and AceJohnny2 while providing more details on it.

I assume you're referring to https://www.faforever.com/ because just googling for FAF doesn't give you anything useful.
hnmonkey··on The NSA Called Me After Midnight and Requested My Source Code
You seem to be arguing (across multiple comments) that you gave up nothing that would put your product or users at risk though you have no evidence of that. In fact, just the fact that you gave them what they wanted means that it had some impact greater than nothing and it certainly wouldn't be for the positive towards your users or the product. Why did they want it in the first place then?

This is an incredibly condescending and insensitive post... Why would you attack the completely valid opinion from that person in this way?
hnmonkey··on Founders need to get radically better at sales
I think he/she was looking for specific courses, but your response doesn't give specifics (which I'd love to see as well) and just points to buying courses or programs. Can you enumerate the things you've purchased and maybe even rank them by their value to you?
