I find the idea very interesting. But what if people leaning on one side of the argument stars a debate because the outcome ended up favoring their side?

The original post was not intended at teaching the reader how to make a passive aggressive conversation effectively. It was actually about making honest and direct communication without biases and preconceptions. The whole post, to me, was about how to not jump into conclusions about the other person.

No, not "crash the browser" (coz browsers are not supposed to crash no matter the site's content), but that "this site might drain your battery quickly" or something along those lines.

It _is_ a personality trait that you are talking about alright --- your personality trait, that is. So, thanks for sharing your views, patricius.

By "personal data", if you mean the video footage of your shopping, then it will probably be deleted after a few days/weeks. It will just be used to train (reinforce) the machine learning model, and will be discarded eventually. But your shopping history will always be there, as it is now in online shopping sites...

> The real question is whether it's onerous enough to act as a deterrent, not whether some people will circumvent it.

Deterring what? "Illegal immigration" or "people walking across the border"? If it is the former, then that plan is just so stupid to be of any value. Banning transfer of money from US to Mexico to make Mexico pay for "building a 10 ft high border-wall" is ... wow, just saying that out loud feels weird.

(PS: I'm neither an American nor a Mexican!)

I was just randomly zooming in and found a city called Auflington (http://www.opengeofiction.net/node/19913404) --- that's a work of art!!

Update: And there are so many like that --- incredibly detailed, ordered and organic!
