I think that the number that they show you in the app is different from the number on the card. They show you a number that you can enter into websites etc but there is a section for "physical card" that only shows you the last 4

For what it’s worth, almost every bank/card I’ve signed up for has this clause. Apple is the only one I’ve seen where you can opt out by text message, usually it requires mailing a letter.

I don't remember phone number being required while creating an account, they only wanted to collect it when enabling 2FA. If I recall correctly they had a little info button that said something like "we need this to start but you

Fastmail allows you to do this too. They have a long section in the documentation that strongly discourages it, and it seems like they will refuse to restore your account if you lose your 2FA, which is exactly what I want: https:/&#x2

Well, because I consume most of my media at home, so I’d much rather store it there instead of having to stream it from the internet. But I also like listening to my music when I’m out of the house, so I need a way to connect to my home wh

Converting wood to charcoal is a process that requires a lot of energy, so you'd need to keep that in mind when you make your carbon calculations.

When some aquifers are drained, they take many thousands of years to replenish, a heavy rain season doesn't really help with these depleted aquifers. Here's a great video on Cody'sLab that explains how confined aquifers work

It could be, or it could even be that whatever process that brings code from development to production is less stringent on internal applications. Maybe people don't review the code as closely (or at all!), maybe they have fewer tests

If a user has a bracket character in any field, it's OK to allow it, as long as you don't render it directly in any HTML. You have to make sure that when you render it you render it as `<` or `>`, which get displayed

I've been in disagreements with SEO people quite frequently about a "Noindex" directive for robots.txt. There seem to be a bunch of articles that are sent to me every time I question its existence[0][1]. Google's own doc

My prior reading contradicts this idea. It's my understanding that humans, being bipedal rather than quadrupedal, are more efficient runners[0]. Quadrupeds have the advantage over short distances [like dwarves, they are natural sprinte
