> It's more of a reminder of what your number is if you need to make a purchase somewhere that doesn't support Apple Pay.
Is it, now? The card doesn't have the number printed on it:

I guess you just pull ideas out of your ass and claim it as truth, huh?

Do you realize how insecure that is? Take any four characters, hash them, and check them against the 640K database of hashes per customer. If they are all in the password, you'll get a least one hit.
It reduces the task of cracking the password to a fucked up form of bingo

If they are hashing a bunch of combinations of just a few characters of the password, these characters could be easily brute forced, salted or not! After knowing these combinations, brute forcing the rest of the password would be as easy as hell

Attached to: Study Shows How LSD Interferes With Brain's Signaling
After you screw-up your brain, you cannot possibly use your brain to accurately assess anything.
It's not a permanent effect, so you could accurately assess the results after the trip. If it prevents things you've been suppressing (which the experiment results point to be being true and done by the thalamus) you could easily fix that eating disorder/social anxiety/depression/self sabotage/or whatever other problem you have that you have been hiding from yourself.
I've never tried LSD myself, but I can see why some people who have problems might find benefit in it. (I'm too much of a geek and don't know how to get it, and I like my life enough not to mess with it.)

Attached to: Google Has a Plan To Eliminate Mosquitoes Around the World
Phase 1: Male Mosquitoes infected with wolbachia breed with females and produce eggs that never hatch
Phase 2: A strain of wolbachia is developed to cross the species barrier and infect humans
Phase 3: Mosquitoes bite humans and transfer altered strain of wolbachia to human hosts who then breed and only give birth to still-born children
Where is Venom Snake when you need him...

This sounds like reverse plot harvesting. Someone from the future goes into the past and sells plots from reboot movies from the future to people in the past, ie. Ghostbusters Reboot, Star Trek Reboot, Mad Max Reboot, etc. The Hollywood writers and directors in the past then improved the plots, creating what we call the "original" versions of these movies. It makes more sense then the currently held narrative that the reboots were created after the "originals". After all, how could the revised version of a script be so bad compared to the version it was based on?
So, by occum's razor, time travel must be possible.

You realize you are treating Facebook, a private company that unabashedly sells your private information to the highest bidder, whether you have an account or not as long as your friends do, as a appropriate arbitrator of justice. Good move.

The title:
"Facebook Will Open a 'War Room' Next Week To Monitor Election Interface On Behalf Of Democrats"
was strangely cut off in my browser to just:
"Facebook Will Open a 'War Room' Next Week To Monitor Election Interface"
The site admins should really work on fixing this.

Reading people's complaints about First World problems is also a First World problem. So I suggest you get a grip, sir!

Charge my phone, charge my watch, and now my headphones, too? That's FOUR things to keep track of how much charge they have! How could I ever be expected to remember to do that, let alone want to?
Also, what about forgetting they're in and going for a swim, or a shower? What about bumping into someone or tripping down the stairs and losing them forever?
What if I want headphones that have noise cancellation, or want earbud types? How much do I want to spend on specialized headphones that also have bluetooth machinery inside? With wired sets you could just plug them in and they were guaranteed to work. Now, what if the bluetooth implementations between the phone and the special headphones I got are incompatible?
They suck!

I wouldn't be worried. First, they are receivers, not transmitters. Second, they have to communicate all of 3 feet. That's quite a difference from a cell phone that has to transmit to a cell tower miles away.
