Good. If apps want to pretend to be banks, they need to actually follow rules that banks do.

>Don't call my claim silly.

Not the other guy, but your claims are silly. People can't have a civil discussion with you because you post nonsense.

Civil discussion is part of human decency. It has nothing to do with the other party. Whether you're a good person or a shit head has nothing to do with whether some 3rd part is talking nonsense. People have different opinions all the time and people all the time think the other part is nonsense and often times end up being right or wrong, that is irrelevant.

Let me spell it out for you, when you are rude to other people, it speaks to your character. In short, you're a shit head. Doesn't matter what my argument was.

And you're comment here contributes nothing to the discussion. You just wanted to be a shit head by making a comment here that contributed nothing other then being rude and displaying how low your moral character is.

>Getting a certain status for 60 nights stayed in a year gets you in the lounge… or pay an extra $10/night on your room for the same thing.

It's essentially the same problem with the fastpass system at theme parks. After a few years they have to invent another system that is ultra-ultra-ultra fastpass once the poors decide to start paying for fastpass and ultra fastpass and ultra-ultra fastpass.

>For that amount of money it’s incredible we aren’t seeing fakes…

I suspect we are.

>Although I hate to get political on HN, barely 20 years ago Democrats were the ones banning books in school for being too "culturally insensitive", while republicans were the ones who opposed book banning in schools

Source? I was an adult alive 20 years ago, that wasn't a thing.

>This is pretty concerning, especially as FDroid is by far the largest non-google android store at the moment

That's almost certainly not true.

>I have noticed that thermal notes fade relatively quickly. When they do that I have to think about weather I want to reprint them or just throw them out.

Or if you don't catch them before they fade, the task must not have been important..

It's even worse, other than blockchain, their whole history is having successes and going out of their way to hand that success to their competitors.

>For example, Wikipedia generates >$180M/yr just by running ads for itself requesting donations. Requesting donations is the least effective monetizing strategy and yet it still works because of scale.

Plus most of that goes towards other wikimedia projects, wikipedia itself despite being huge and used by most of the internet costs a fraction of that to run yearly.

>I strongly agree. I think it's a form of procrastinating.

It's like a special extra bad form of procrastinating too, because they've essentially gamified procrastination to make it feel productive.
