The airlines do fine; they sell miles/points to banks who actually have money. Almost all US carriers are worth little or negative but their rewards programs have large valuations.
If you pay your bills in full and don’t pay interest you are beating the system, and it is “OMG free flights”/hotels/cash. You do give away tons of purchase info but you’re giving that away anyway unless you’re using cash.
I haven’t paid for a plane ticket since 2012. Made a huge hobby of credit card churning. Probably flew 200k miles on them. Otherwise I’d be skiplagging as the next best option.
Yeah, looks like probably the app for privacy.com, the website was mentioned above. Thanks!
Ah, my bad. Just search the name (Stromberg, June 2026) and date of the primary research paper the graph came from, I scrolled through it until I found the graph in question.
Amazon is more clever than that; it’s why they bought Ring 10 years ago. They can throw their own camera and network into their drones.
How do you do masked cards where you can control the regular charge amount? Is that a particular bank’s feature or?
Olympics are all that I can think of

Do they not realize this makes them confirmed to be so much worse than the average person thinks and exactly what everyone who hates them despises? They don’t give a fuck about the rights of anyone they are violating and never have from the start which is why any of this could happen to begin with.
Fuck Flock.
Sounds like a big painting brush toward profit and Microsoft had the usual shit communication and execution.
More to the point though, this is the fundamental lesson many people who say they went to business school or are IT experts are apparently now learning; if it’s not free and open source you can’t depend on it staying that way and the last 10 years has been a sprint to enshittify. Why someone in IT would base their entire storage and archive practice on the assumption a paid service or grant will remain free through grants, when there is no money to go around to pivot the org is naive at best. I see these as the same type who will rail against inequality, fascism, etc. and then be on Twitter and Facebook. The nobler aspects of man cannot coexist alongside boundless greed and fascism. Move early or be prepared to “be shocked” when structural inevitability comes.
Libre Office and countless other options are out there, just waiting to be adopted. The cells have been made very comfortable by our jailers, but the keys are right there if you want freedom.
Wait a minute, you mean people will just say things for money they don’t believe?
/tower launches anti-aircraft missile and TKs plane, then resigns
That and the entire purpose of AI is to reduce agency, which is arguably the single most important factor in job–if not life–satisfsction.
It’s like being shackled to an annoying and incompetent younger cousin for a summer and being held responsible for all the problems they cause while they reap all praise and rewards for anything they happen to do right. Your parents float the idea of adopting the cousin and disowning you. Oh, and the cousin’s parents are yhe Koch brothers.
Yes, along with anyone’s data.

And education, health care, sports, food production, food consumption, technology, energy…Is anyone noticing a trend? This is the real Touch of Midas.
Time to close the barn door now that all the animals have escaped
Think of the recurring opportunity for emails about price increases and downstream shareholder value!
The cost in electronic services is in acquisition; the nominal cost to deliver services to a paying subscriber is lower than acquiring a new one.
Yes you would flatten your margin with existing customers by not hiking their rates (or not as much) but pretending there won’t be defection assumes near monopoly–which the US has permitted largely for the last 4 decades.
Cell phone companies made it super easy to leave by only offering good discounts to new customers.
