Do you realize that rfc1149 was a joke?

It was written on April Fools Day.

Sinatra is my go to for barebones pages-style server side rendering.

What are you going on about? This feels like someone who's just read their first compsci book and now thinks they can build New Internet.

Surely this is a troll...

What a weird take.

Are you saying that if these for-profit corporations didn't charge absurd amounts to US citizens, then the drug would be unattainable for Canadians?

Nah, get another bank. Any FI that has to encourage users not to upgrade to the latest iOS because of engineering problems has significant other issues that they are able to still hide.

The disclaimer at the bottom is the icing:

From my understanding CVV/CVCs are a function of the PAN, expiry, and some DES encryption. Does this mean that the target bank had a weak DES key or was some other vulnerability discovered?

You're probably thinking of SpaceX. While it's not Tesla, it is another multi-billion dollar company pioneering an industry so I can see how you might get them confused.

Musk is eccentric sure, but at the end of the day the two companies are building emmission-free vehicles and trying to make humanity an interplanetary species. Both of these are pretty worth-while goals, imho.

I would love to see a CEO who doesn't have flaws.

What if it was $20 billion? Maybe the idea is feasible if you go bigger? Still less than half of the current strategy of a hostile takeover.

Less this and more that one should be cognizant of their own inherent communication biases.
