I carry a burner Android just for this feature. Great for sharing with my iPhone and iPad on a flight.

Credit unions rely entirely on third parties for their infrastructure. FIS, Fiserv. Doubt Goldman Sachs can’t see it either - would make dispute handling and fraud prevention near …

Early Warning Services already has your detailed bank history. This does have some benefits, like fraud prevention. Request a copy at https://www.earlywarning.com/consumer-informat…

Many examples, e.g. https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/31/16072786/amazon-blu-suspe... . “In November 2016, security firm Kryptowire detected pre-loaded remote surveillance software o…

I never knew this existed. With OneNote for Mac not supporting local or encrypted notebooks, I'll be trying out Outline.

There still are a lot of bumps. Their billing systems remain a mess, especially trying to use it on an iPad (if I don't disable wi-fi, it asks me for the iPad's phone number). I re…

Money now has an expiration date, like air miles?

I think the best would have been learning your tomorrow/today pattern and monitoring your use of the phone. For example, a "common" person will continue to use to tomorrow post-mid…

Same experience. I've also heard from many that after the sale, the buyer complains about an issue to PayPal and is able to get their money back.

Can you elaborate on how market inefficiency is the issue? It seems others have tried similar schemes (Virgin America ran a private jet website with the same intentions), or attemp…
