Of course I'd be willing to pay for new train tracks. I've wasted days of my life in northern virginia waiting for the track to free up. And they wonder why nobody uses the train!

Speaking from personal experience working with these reputation warehouses and with handling a good deal of incoming and outgoing email volume, they aren't any more effective than other IP-based spam heuristics and if everyone configured their DKIM correctly these warehouses would be largely obsolete. I don't see a problem with crowdsourcing heuristic data per se, but email is a much narrower field than internet traffic at large and I can see a lot of the ways that poorly configured fail2ban type software could accidentally ban a lot of valid traffic.

From watching the past several times they've been called before congress, it's abundantly clear that several congressmen (mostly from one party) do not.

I'm actually a big fan of Netflix exactly as you articulated you don't like it—if I have an empty head, I sit down and click through to find something to watch.

The reason it's not good for kids is that the houses with enough space are either crazy expensive or far from work. Trust me if I could afford it I would love to live in SF.

I mean there's a lot of problems with patenting manufacturing processes. How do you argue this is a solid model for growing fruit?

I've found that an effective way to bypass recruiters and advocate for employment with your personal projects is to a) aim at small companies and b) cold-email with a cover letter. YMMV.
