    Why do unsubscribe-regulations work so well? What is the punishment for not complying and is enforcement particularly swift?

    Which part of it do you think is not true? The written application is not extensive at all. It takes maybe 1-hour of focused time. That’s all I had ever spent on the written part o…

    Ask HN: What do you use as a home phone, if you have kids without phones?
