Too many people are collecting data they don't need in the name of convenience and travel is at the top of the list.
Losing the credit card details are trivially corrected; report it lost, new card, new number. But even then they shouldn't be storing that stuff by default, but rather because the customer flies that often and has insisted they keep it or has enrolled in some kind of subscription model (like Netflix).
The other details that can't be trivially changed, like your date of birth, shouldn't be allowed to be stored any more by intermediary companies. They can ask for them to process the transaction, but not store them.
None of the three statements was a logical fallacy.
Perhaps you should spend some time looking at the Wikipedia page on logical fallacies so you might have a better chance of recognizing the difference between them and a stating an opinion or fact.

As a basic source of information for non-scholastic arguments, I suppose its better than nothing.
Yeah, I'd certainly expect the client cert to only be required for paid accounts...
Their root problem is free and paid are served by the same servers are you're expecting the client to differentiate, which as someone posted below, is a fool's errand.
I know that probably means the calculated odds are over 50%.
How do you know that? Bill's favourite authoritative dictionary, Google, describes probably as "almost certainly; as far as one knows or can tell.", and "almost certainly" is well into the 90% range.
Sure man, it's the rest of the scientific community that can't estimate likely sea level rises properly. Captain cubic miles is dead on balls accurate.
My understanding (possibly misguided) was that the electoral college was designed to ensure that states with less population still had at least some voice in the decision making.
Section 2 of the fourteenth amendment seems pretty clear on the matter: "Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers..."
The smaller states have less people, hence less representatives, but it's wildly disproportionate in the smaller states.
Why in particular do you think it's OK for the minority in the fly-over states to bend-over the rest of the country?
The electoral college was/not/ designed to reduce the voting power of the majority of people, it was designed to ensure that the states had voting rights relative to their population. If it was, California would have 180+ votes, to either Dakota's 3, instead of 55.
Your shit is broken, just because it did you a favor this time around doesn't make it any less broken.
Calling your state and local representatives does work in my personal experience.
To what? If you mean get them an easy win by poking some public servants, sure. If you mean by getting them to draft and pass legislation that might be seen as counter to their fund raising efforts for the next election, mmmm nah, I don't think so.
Take positions in the President's Cabinet for example. You are appointed by the President, and you are removed by the President. You are answerable to, guess who, the President. Do you offer a counter example?
Sure, any of the president's industry appointments will do. How far do you think they're straying from what the industries they "regulate" want? You think the President is closely monitoring what the FCC or the EPA are doing?
Or let's talk about the SCOTUS? Any firing going on there? Or any other fixed-term appointment, say tenure at a University.
Will a brand new card let you max it the day your application is processed? I'd have thought it's a couple days to get the card in your hands and a "while" before the credit company AI will let buy 11 4K TVs.
IFF these places are as hooked in to the system as they claim, they should have plenty of time to kill the application before it's granted. I think that's a big IFF though.

It's so much not a sidewalk that they have signs to tell you not to use it: https://imgur.com/a/KyxTK

Do you curate the Wikipedia page on logical fallacies, or just decided to throw out three and see how they went?
It's a "cue" and you must drink a lot of over-steeped tea if you make a cup every 2nd ad break.
Being an undischarged bankrupt as an individual is a much different outcome to bankrupting an LLC.
That's the American way for sure; privatising profits and socialising losses.
Most of the banks here require Director's Guarantees, because sure, there's no shame in failing, but you shouldn't be able to do it for free.
Bankrupt companies already have a remedy, just ask Trump.

So just put a client cert in the official Spotify app...?

Sure, sure, me too, but if you're going to appeal to authority you need to be able to back that shit up. So you know, fuck off.
Sure man, it's the rest of the scientific community that can't estimate likely sea level rises properly. Captain cubic miles is dead on balls accurate.
Sure Bill, link one.
You know how I can tell there's no science in any of that bullshit you just posted?
No one does science in "cubic miles".
The article uses "probably", scientists use "likely".
FYI the word count in the PDF:
probably:0
likely:13
Likely has an actual meaning in scientific language, and it's not the same as general English.
What I cringe at is feckless assholes that use every excuse they can to suck wind through their teeth and suggest doubt where there is none.

I keep thinking when someone says "I binged that TV show" that they searched for it on Bing...
That's what killed Nokia.

Theoretically elected representatives are swayed by feedback from their constituency.
That's naive bordering on the ridiculous.
A bureaucrat only answers to the person that appointed him.
That's even funnier.
Can you even get something to play on the homepod that isn't subject to compression of the top and bottom end?
Monster audio cables are worth every penny, some people just don't have the aural capacity to appreciate their greatness.
