Morals? That's a really good point though. I wonder how many people will get a coffee for a friend waiting outside on their subscription or even split a subscription.

Yep. The article said there is a similar program in Israel. “They say they’re drinking more coffee than before, about 20 percent more,” says Rotem (who, by the way, drinks four to six cups on a bad day). “Our users save around 30 percent on

A moral and caring person doesn't let themselves get walked all over, a passive person does. You hold the cognitive distortion that your wants and needs are less important than others because you grew up in a more healthy manner. This

In practice the only way users are going to discover these "features" is by accident. How would someone be notified the behaviour is changing? The About page nobody reads?

by aestra 13y ago
I am not sure why you are getting downvoted for asking a simple question. It could be a security flaw because you discourage using passwords that are truly randomly generated.

They can present the payment schedule table clearly so even if you didn't know what APR was, you would see "I pay this amount of interest on this day" with a total at the end of the term the entire amount of interest. This is
