I guess electric bill isn't a good example, but I can think of lots of other situations where you might reimburse someone else for a product or service that spends on programatic advertising: flights, hotels, concerts, and obviously, a

Maybe they’ve updated it since I last used it, but I suspect that “dollar dollar bill” is still a subtle tag that indicates that the transaction was a “bill” payment. I just checked and I still get four emoji: lightning bolt, plug, lightbul

I think it's brilliant the same way that an evil genius is brilliant. Still evil though. And yes, that is actually what Venmo does if you try to type in "electricity bill"

My sibling and their friends use the Cash app, they find the social networking aspect of venmo appalling. I think when Venmo came out, there was nothing else as convenient, so we accepted the social networking aspect for the convenience. Ma

In the case of Facebook, you either put this in your profile, or the kinds of pages and events that you like and interact with will give this away. Not saying that it's not creepy, just that with the way we use the internet these days,

My barber has a location next to several ATMs. I cannot see imagine a situation where he would start accepting cards. I never see anyone come in for a haircut, ask if they take cards, and then walk out and not come back because they don’t.

You're not alone, but we can't withdraw. Moderate your news consumption, go get some exercise, see a therapist, but don't just tune out. What are you going to do, tune out for the rest of your life?
