  • Basically all medication has side effects.

    Aspirin works by blocking production of cyclooxygenase, which, causes platelets not to produce thromboxane A2, effectively permanently rendering affected platelets useless.

    COX also reduces productions of prostaglandins which mediates pain- basically, causing your nerves to pay attention to pain signals. (I’m sure some one who’s actually a doctor or nurse is swearing at me by now…) and also triggers more inflammation.

    COX also increases production of PGE2 (another prostaglandin,) which is what triggers the fever response.

    This is how most NSAIDs work, though they each have other side effects, that are different from the others.








  • You’re not providing your bank credentials directly to the third-party, either. They use OAuth-like systems to log you in, typically. I’m not familiar with Ozow, specifically, but from what I can tell about their company, they appear to be doing mostly the same things as Plaid.

    Plaid or Ozow is the third party. You’re using their system, which they control, to provide your credentials.

    You’re trusting that a) they’re not malicious and b) they have their shit together and c) even though they do have their shit together someone doesn’t find a random exploit anyhow.

    As for the first. yeah. that’s a problem. At that point it really doesn’t matter, does it? why would you trust Ozow or anyone else in that sort of environment with your banking credentials? or even the bank with your money?
