Agreed absolutely every element of this game is fun. They struck the perfect balance between ease of entry and play and a massive and complex world. They avoided pitfalls of many other RPG games that add complexity at the cost of fun. They also learned to not completely hold your hand as many other Nintendo titles have in the past.

Assuming that your are not in the middle of nowhere, it is typically best to stick with a somewhat local or regional co-lo facility. Discovering who else has space there is typically a good indicator or quality. Find out where your local hospital or university has their boxes.
Keep in mind this is your hardware and it will occasionally need a new HD or fan. You do not want to fly across the country for that. Also their are a wide range of security options for co-los, so weigh those options.

If all you wanted to do is embed " This post was made possible by xyz co." Most blockers would miss this. However most advertisers want to have a link provided to track results . It's trivial to block the links to xyz.co/partner=123 . With the above knowledge and some trust a retailer could gain customers and bypass adblockers by bypassing links in their ads and focusing on views.

The fact the you are reading this on HN probably means that any one of us could have contacts capable of creating fake passports. I am certain that most tech savvy people with the right motivation could easily learn to use dark net tools and purchase fake documents within a few hours. This is 2016, contact with criminals no longer means hanging out in seedy drug dens or back alleys.

Re:The World Against ISIS Project

The effectiveness of this strategy is not so much mocking Daesh. The strategy can be effective by adding noise to their signal.
This works in live protests as well, this is the electronic equivalent of a protest I saw in college. A white supremacist was giving a speech at a public library in central Illinois. Protesters out numbered actual audience members 2 to 1. They proceed to sing children's songs and play instruments. This blocked the message of hate helping to prevent further recruitment and coordination.
