Maybe I’m a passive user, but my credit cards are autopay set it and forget it. As someone with no opinion on cc companies, curious what gave you such a bad impression.

Order··on Jony Ive to form independent design company with Apple as client
Totally agree with you, this was my own doing. Though I would have been more than willing to pay extra for data recovery if it were an option.

>Denied data recovery when it’s possible

This one hits close to home.

I brought in my phone for a warranty exchange when the charging port was damaged. Phone at 7% without the ability to charge, I was told emailing photos to myself was the only option and was prodded to use the cloud storage in the future.

It’s unfortunate I wasn’t in the position to leave without a new phone. Years of photos were lost that day due to this lack of option and my own failure to back up locally.

Order··on Ask HN: BTC futures are announced by CBOE and CME. What can go wrong? Discuss
I'm of two minds on this.

With the futures market being a place that individuals can trade non-public information for a profit, and the history of Bitcoin being tied to criminal activity (drugs, ransom ware, etc.), I see a potential for market manipulation. The value of Bitcoin is still extremely volatile; due to the inherent anonymity and media presence surrounding the asset, the ability to trigger a price swing and make a killing in options is a reality.

On the other hand, estimated illicit transactions have decreased substantially due to the evolving ability for law enforcement to track down individuals from Bitcoin transactions (worth noting that I couldn't find solid numbers on this). If this realized reduction of anonymity thwarts most attempts at market manipulation, I'm thinking that these futures can help Bitcoin more quickly find stability in the world market.
