I agree with the sentiment, but in his linked project he says this:
Somewhat surprisingly, Trifecta does not touch the images it serves. This is a bit sad since it might be useful for the software to create thumbnails for example. The security record of most image libraries however is sufficiently depressing that it is not worth the cost to do any kind of conversion.
Apparently leaking EXIF data to the internet is not a concern of his.
He thinks he’s people.
Haha. Doesn’t quite feel the same without her eyes… not sure they’d look on Kermit, though.
I am, but I think this story is actually a somewhat noteworthy.
It just seems like a scam to me. We buy things with credit cards to get the points and each transaction costs the merchant money. The merchant raises their prices to cover transaction fees, so now you’re not really getting points - you’re paying hidden fees that get some rewards points for (but not enough). The real scam is that it’s such a monopoly now (oligopoly?) that if you don’t pay with a credit card then you’re losing out - you’re paying inflated prices but not getting the reward points.
Now, some people have to pay with credit cards, but that shouldn’t be the norm. If you’re perpetually one month (ie, one payment) behind on bills, etc, then credit card makes sense, but that should be an edge case - just need to save for a month and then you’re good. (yes, lots of shoulds and wishful thinking there, I know, read the next paragraph).
If you fall more than a month behind on payments, the you’re paying some 20% interest, which is likely going to destroy you anyways. So living “a month behind”, while maybe the reality for many is likely to get way worse before it gets better.
I will acknowledge that CC companies provide things like insurance and liability protection. I think that if governments and/or banks could provide this, there would be no good reason to use a credit card beyond the odd big purchase. And realistically, some international transactions, as well, since it will take a long time before all our payment systems are integrated to that degree.
- I don’t know what I’d do if someone shoved a paddle-handle up my ass!
- It wasn’t the handle! I’ve been shitting pancakes ever since!
What are your biggest pet peeves as a color blind person? In software, I mean.
I think they produce as much munitions as anyone else, might as well export them and get paid - and maybe make some friends.
We should stop paying for things with credit cards.
Jim Lahey’s no knead bread is dead simple.
Not defending it, since I’m not familiar enough with the topic, but he waived protections provided the laws - not the laws themselves, which must be within his power if he’s done it.
You can just charge $20 more per car and break even.
Ya, I feel like disabling Javascript should not be “beyond standard practice”.
That’s nothing. We had an actual Nazi in the Canadian Parliament and gave him a standing ovation!
This is not a standard. In this case it’s desirable to have more options.
Ya, their pockets aren’t quite as deep as Fox News, who settled for $787.5MM.
Except when referring to people and sometimes animals.
The world’s population is expected to decline soon anyway.
