Firebase at its best

This would have been a great opportunity to regulate and prohibit massive data collection on mobile phones, by writing a law that requires the platforms (iOS,android) to architect differently and police this aggressively. Takes care of a lot of the TikTok worry and cleans up ecosystems from location tracking/selling weather apps as well.

On a 59 minutes old account no less.. someone found the secret points padding button.

It is - this would be the better antitrust angle to pursue

Great tool, easily self hosted for the family, their rare beyond viewing PDF needs don't warrant to install anything.

I'm just waiting to see which (non google of course) website will be the first that is "you must have WebIntegrityAPI enabled to use this website" ..

I hope it's a success - but I am doubtful in the US payment landscape, as absurd incentives persisted so long: - C2B payments (everything from cable to insurance) is dominated by credit card payments, as consumers chase rebates/miles/cash back [paid for by the people who don't pay their card in full every months] - C2C payments, because it was virtually impossible for an average person to pay another bank account to bank account, a whole shadow banking system like Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, CashApp was created. - B2B could always pay via ACH, doing it in real time for vendor payments has no advantage - B2C payments, maybe - when you insurance company settle a claim same day (just kidding...).

So I hope that the US gets to a place where it is secure and convenient to pay others bank accounts with the balance in your bank account - but I doubt it.

What an excellent way to protect your business from other non-corporate entrants. Regulation hurdles to keep emerging businesses from coming in.

When airplane cockpits have touchscreens, they are ready for use in cars, until then...

"Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law."

Yeah, all corporate customers that have seen an FDIC charge on their statement, based on Q-end balances will have a "special" laugh at this. It's going to be passed through and not be bourn by the surviving banks - that benefit from this 'bailout' of their customers....

I miss the times when flying toasters where super exciting ...

and they say "Don't do what they say in commercials..."
