Comment Re:credit cards (Score 1) 178

my CapitalOne visa is my oldest cc, over 20 years. i've maxed it out and paid it off a few times in that stretch, and they diligently upped my limit into the tens of thousands, despite never making more than $40k a year in my entire stupid career. the last couple years i haven't carried a balance on that card, and just this week they sent me a notification that due to having a credit limit in vast excess of my balance, they are going to "review" my account in april and warn me that my limit will likely be lowered.

which isn't exactly thugs knocking at my door threatening me, but it is a bit distasteful. think i might buy $10k worth of ammo and yoda grease next month for the hell of it.

Submission + - Anil Dash: The Internet Is About To Get Weird Again

DrunkenTerror writes: Over on RollingStone.com, Anil Dash writes about how a new year offers many of the promises of an online moment we haven’t seen in a quarter-century:

Across today’s internet, the stores that deliver all the apps on our phones are cracking open, the walls between social media platforms are coming down as the old networks fail, the headlong rush towards AI is making our search engines and work apps weirder (and often worse!). But amidst it all, the human web, the one made by regular people, is resurgent. We are about to see the biggest reshuffling of power on the internet in 25 years, in a way that most of the internet’s current users have never seen before.

i like how some of those arguing against the severity of climate change, that it is nothing to worry about, say that new technologies that we can't yet envision will be developed to mitigate the problems, while simultaneously refusing to apply that same rosy outlook to the existing renewable & carbon-neutral technologies we already have. to them, there's just no way we'll ever figure out how to recycle panels and turbines, and it's a sad travesty to have acres of solar covering the earth instead of tobacco fields (which is what solar is displacing in my region).

i'm reminded of the parable of the drowning man.
