Reply to comment by scorch07 in ELI5: Why are contactless payment methods faster than inserting the chip? by jimmysofat6864
Yeah this. I work with contactless payments. When you load a card on your phone, the phone doesn't even have your credit card information. It has a token which is associated with your credit account and software which talks to your CC network (VISA or MasterCard or whoever) via the payment terminal. There is no way to pay without the CC network being in the loop. The built in token on your credit card works similarly.

Reply to comment by sweetplantveal in ELI5 Are cows constantly producing milk? by ms_myco
Given that beef cows are butchered at ~18 months old I'm not convinced there's much of a distinction between the ethics of veal versus beef.

Reply to comment by Infernalism in A study found that people perceive that robots are replacing human jobs at a greater rate than they actually are. Only 14% of workers say they’ve had their job replaced by a robot. Workers who had been supplanted by a robot estimated that 47% of all jobs have been lost to robots. by Brave_Cycle_8745
I wonder how the number of jobs being lost now due to robots compares to those lost during the industrial revolution.
