History will forget her.

How many people remember stupid congresspeople from 30 years ago?

Imhofe bringing a snowball to the Senate floor, this disproving climate change, for example. You and i and historians might, but average Joe on the street?

Every president save Trump in modern times has had various assets and investments, and they have all put them in blind trusts during their terms.

Meanwhile, people who agree with 90% of any variation of the Democratic platform will protest vote or stay home to "send a message" or some bullshit.

Meh. The GOP primaries are just running for the position of Vice President. Whichever candidate does the things Trump likes the most will get to be his running mate. The rest will get to write a book and go on FOX News to talk about how they're totally bucking the extreme Republican party by being mavericks and standing up to extremism or some shit.

That is a LOT harder done than said. Apple might have the resources, but they don't have the time or focus to become an actual bank.

They'll just go to some other bank, willing to take on the shittier client risk. Probably Citi or the GE/Synchrony bank. Capital One if they smile real nice and bring flowers.

Yeah, yeah, but I don't have to patch it.

All cool, but not what the FCC can do.

To pass laws, look to Congress. Remember to vote for the candidates you think will help accomplish those sorts of things.

The one I hate? Your unit tests pass when run locally, and in your sandbox environment, and in dev, and in UAT, but prod? Fuck that, failing with reckless abandon.

I would note that, because it's so old and out of support for everything, anything you got running on it would be full of security vulnerabilities.

Like, do not connect this to a network you care about kind of vulnerable.

I'd frankly just find a way to recycle it safely and learn to do that earlier with devices you're not using, so others can use them instead of just sitting in a closet. (It's not like I'm not guilty of the same thing.)

When we failed to take the initial spread seriously and let the thing turn endemic, yes. Yes it will. Much like the flu.

It's an intentional thing, pushed by propagandists. Thinking in absolutes reduces the need for critical thinking skills as whole. When you can make people boil everything in the world down to a binary, its very easy to tell them how to think, and equally easy to define the "out" group you all hate.

To wit, when masks "work or don't work", you can look at the people telling you to wear masks, and because masks "don't work" they're wrong, and if they're wrong, then the people we aren't telling you to wear a mask are right. You should always follow people who are right... right?

Visa does not care about interest. The issues bank does.

Visa makes its money on transaction fees. Every time you use your card, the merchant is charged an additional fee, usually a percentage of the amount this of the sale.

In these agreements, T-Mobile is buying transaction info from visa. The level of detail varies, as you say, but it's just more ways for companies to track consumer habits and later sell you something.
