What are you referencing specifically? I work in payments and I've never heard of this IBM code. The card networks just use an ISO format and every front end is different (the two we have are completely different in very fundamental ways though they are definitely both old as fuck).

I assure you they won't. It's not going to be that expensive to only show an option if you're in California. Companies already do this with other things like privacy related stuff.

If the company is already a scumbag company that makes it impossible to cancel, this will only stop them where they have to follow a law.

If you wait for a good sale, digital is sometimes cheap or cheaper. I just go with whatever is cheapest at any given moment.

Kind of the old Windows vs Mac problem though. It gets so many exploits because it is so ridiculously popular. No one is going to bother looking for exploits in shit that no one uses right? I'm sure they've got problems like any project but I'm not convinced they're THAT bad. Not to mention a lot of exploits you see are plugins doing dumb shit, not WP itself.

Nah it's not that hard to make a decent burger from frozen. I don't know WTF people are doing to mess that up. You just put it on the grill and don't overcook it lol.

Yeah I've been using it to help my novice ass code stuff for my website and it's been incredible. There's some stuff I thought yeah I'm probably never gonna get around to this that I rocketed through in an AFTERNOON. That's what I want AI for. Not shitty customer service.

Thank you. I've been thinking the same thing. People keep posting things that aren't remotely close to Nova. I'm beginning to think there's just nothing else at their level. Lawnchair seems like the closest so far but it's still not customizable enough and the Google feed implementation randomly broke and I couldn't get it to work again (amongst other annoyances and performance issues).

I don't disagree with you. Progress is progress. I just wish it was more.

I dunno maybe they should be subject to more stringent rules like people at banks and such? If you can just trade your stocks right before you pass a law, what's the point of the new rule? That's part of why they're under fire in the first place isn't it? They have insider information. Saying you can't trade after the fact seems like it's too late to me. Maybe I didn't explain that well idk.

AFTER BEING SIGNED INTO LAW seems like a huge loophole to me. They can just trade while they're talking about it or right after it passes but hasn't been signed, etc etc.

He shits on everyone all the time. It's not exclusive to LG or even Apple. It's just whatever happens to come to his attention. Which is basically pick a company and they're doing something horrible.

Yeah I think the ruling was garbage too but I'm getting tired of the overly dramatic hot takes on this everywhere. Nuance is dead.
