Let’s not discount the luck/random chance factor.

I don’t really see why this would work any better or worse for someone who makes over $200,000. I mean spending thousands without giving it a second thought seems crazy when you first think about it. But a millionaire only applying this rule to purchases over $10,000 is not objectively any crazier than someone who…

Make sure you understand your company’s policies about data ownership before you do any of this. Most companies consider any data you’ve created while working for them to be their data, not your data, and copying their data for your own use can get you into a shit-ton of trouble. Depending on what you agreed to…

I guess I should have changed my expectations for this article when I opened it and found out it was in the twocents domain. I was expecting an interesting read on how the technology allows it to read my card specifically and authenticate my account and such. Technically, the article still explains how contactless…

It’s pretty difficult to square this practice with a mindset of reducing waste. We’ve just turned an easily reusable item of value into a one-time-use piece of garbage, depending on how much you trust your local disposal company’s recycling abilities.

Also likely because “no security” gets through Regulatory better than “probably broken security that took way too long to code, and that they didn’t give the testers [my specialty] enough time/resources to properly check”.

This was an excellent and informative reply, thank you.

What if I don’t want to watch the video and came to actually read something , other than the comments.........

Avoiding dog licks falls on the far side of the “extends my life vs enriches my life,” boundry. Health risks aside, they aren’t worth giving up. 

I’m sitting at the window and keeping it open, unless the sun is low and sunlight is actually streaming in horizontally. Thank you very much. I want to look out the window, not stare at a seatback or plastic wall. If you choose and sit in the window seat, feel free to do whatever you want with it.

That is actually a valid method of 2FA. In fact, Yubikey makes the nano devices for just this purpose.

They’re on top of the world and are in control of the whole game, but can’t stop playing the victim card and whining like pathetic losers about how much everyone is out to get them. It’s not only annoying, it’s completely counterproductive, as they’re going to wake up soon on the bottom of the world, with no one to…

If the call button was really for emergency use solely, they’d tell you that on the flight.  It would say it.  I mean, of course someone from a flight attendant’s association would say that.  It’s less work for the people she represents. 

You forgot about dogs.

I don’t want to get this guy down, but how is this useful AFTER you get to the booking screen? You’ve already hit the gotcha-price increase and know what the total is. You need this information before the booking page, or it really isn’t useful, its just dividing total by days without doing that very simple math.…

Just like with friends, it really depends on the level of trust and understanding you have with someone. If knowing your financial situation is likely to alter someone’s social bearing towards you, well, that’s easy enough to avoid. I have a few friends who know what I make, and a few that I will never allow to know.…

I’ve made more money than either of my parents since I first got out of college and they know it. I’ve had a lot of advantages they never had, largely because they made raising me and my sister a priority over careers and I have to thank them for that. So I don’t tend to tell them how much I make in fear of it…
