Stealing credit cards from FUZE over Bluetooth
Are you sure those are credit card (e.g. Master Card) and not debit (e.g. Maestro) transactions? I’ve noticed outside the USA credit cards are used very rarely while debit cards are used very heavily.

In the USA, we have to sign at most places for any transaction over $50, but not under.

Yes, and an NYC cabbie would _never_ willingly ignore a regulation like that.
The other "theory" is the idea that the Clintons had Seth Rich killed or that it was another "insider" "mad about Bernie" even though he lost by several million votes.

So yes, it is absurd.
> You are signing a document

This is in fact the only reason for a signature, it does fuck all to identify somebody, even if merchants were to check it, which they never do.

But with the amount of CCTV nowadays, that's probably more reliable than a signature.

Also ironic that anybody would describe PINs as the next step, I can't remember a time before PINs were used. Even EMV contactless payments are pretty common now, and provide benefits to the banks (liability shift/less chance of PIN compromise) and customers (quicker).

It's not a tech problem, it's a cultural one. You don't realise how much less friction, less hassle it can be until you've lived it. From my time in the US, it seems like it isn't exposed to outside ideas that much, maybe due to it's size.
Dell XPS 15 is pretty good, but it's not quite as nice as a Macbook. If you can get away with not using a laptop, build a PC. Superior performance and upgradability. My 5 year old i7 desktop is still going strong!
So if the Tokyo subway shuts down each night between 1am and 5am, why can't the NYC subway shut parts down periodically? It's common here in Melbourne to have whole lines shut down during the summer for maintenance or other service changes (e.g. removing level crossings). We hate it but we cope.

There's literally no excuse for not maintaining your infrastructure. Every probably can be solved. Shut down a line every night till the job is done. Or shut it down for a day or two. Is the line integrated with others? Maybe you'll have to shut down three or four lines. People will hate it. But if it avoids months and months of problems to have a few days, they'll cope.

Requests for medical records should not take 5-10 business days period. When someone requests medical records it is for some purpose related to health. A hospital taking 5-10 business days to make medical records available can only hurt patients.

Peanut oil is also a great choice, especially for chips and fries. It does add more of a taste than coconut oil, but hey, it’s a good taste. Peanut oil is also the best for stir frying, with a shot of sesame oil to finish it.
I've been going back to written checks lately because of huge timewasting problems with electronic billpay systems - problems like the bank says they transmitted the money go talk to the vendor. The vendor says they never got it, go talk to the bank. Around and around and around.

In the past, I'd wave around the cancelled check and resolve it quickly. With ebanking, it's hours and hours on the phone and sitting in the bank manager's office refusing to leave until they deal with it.

With that particular one, I eventually made the bank issue a "clawback" on the funds they transmitted. Wonder of wonders, this caused the vendor to find the money they'd received :-)
To defeat the Guardian and become Master of Orion!
As soon as there's an electronic equivalent that's universally compatible, as cheap and reliable, and is accepted by insurers/government/corporate expensing. Credit card and checking account statements are getting close but they don't list the items purchased, only the money.
When we raised money from several VCs (using some of the top legal firms in silicon valley and NYC) all we had to sign was the very last page which had only the signature lines on it.

It could have been attached to anything. And in fact, sometimes, they emailed us the signature page separately for us to sign, scan and send back.

So I don't really think there is really much legal benefit to having stuff on every page to sign.
I've definitely had credit cards like that (also note that both MasterCard and Visa offer debit cards in many countries though). The point of sales terminal doesn't care, the only difference between credit and debit cards is on the banking side, and when making ATM withdrawals.

NZ, Aus, UK, are pretty much on the same level banking tech-wise (with UK bank-to-bank transfers being much quicker). Credit cards are common enough, but most people only have one or two, with lower credit limits than in the US.

That comment about admission to and completion of college leads to simplistic conclusions comes across as unfair. Pretty much every educated person went through such a sequence to get through college (others are educated without college, but they are tiny minority...). And plenty of us are able to understand the world has nuance.

ON your latter point, I agree that there needs to be a degree of responsibility to some software dev, but it's a complex area and I can't really organize 'blame'. What's the blame I should get for writing a better webserver that some dicator uses to serve up his orders and have people killed? Compare that to the firmware of a phone programmer, and the person who teaches a robot how to determine if someone is killed by a weapon. It's too easy to look to that last person and say without thinking that they are the bad one.
A Stroll Through the Minefields – Avoiding Startup Tarpits
I have the Dell Precision M5520 developer edition which is the Linux version of the XPS 15 with Intel WiFi and I opted for only integrated graphics to avoid graphics drivers on Linux.

It works flawlessly with Ubuntu 17.10. I have the UHD screen which looks great with 2x scaling. I do a lot of work with Docker and can work much faster on Linux than before when I was on a MBP and had to run a VM.

This is why it’s critical to have transaction alerts for all activity for your financial accounts. Otherwise you could have an ACH slip through that drains your account. You wouldn’t notice till the next time you logged in or, more likely, when you try to use your debit card and realize it’s cleaned out.
I remember learning Unix on my school's big Unix system. Lots of talk about how important root was. I understood it from a system standpoint sure.

Yet I was confused, because as a user all I cared about was my stuff that was ... right there in a non root account.

As you say all the stuff I was concerned about was right there, but nobody talked about how important that was.
I just replaced my T410 with a T480, and have been very pleased so far. Installed Debian on it without a hitch.

I got a model with the dGPU, and it's working fine so far—I only use the dGPU when I'm gaming on Windows. I might be losing some battery from not properly disabling the dGPU when running under Linux, but I haven't bothered to check yet (battery life has been good enough). The machine is very very fast.

One caveat on the T480: only the versions with the dGPU have two heat pipes—the iGPU models have one; therefore, apparently the dGPU model has better cooling, regardless of whether you're using the dGPU or not. The T480s has two heat pipes regardless of whether you have the dGPU or not.

The /r/thinkpad subreddit has a lot of conversations around the thermal engineering of each model—lots of information to consume there.

I greatly prefer my T480 to my work-issued Macbook Pro Retina—more ports (Ethernet!), more flexibility (I can configure it to not automatically go to sleep when I close the lid), and a vastly better keyboard. It's also easier to service and more upgradable. I was able to get seven+ years out of my T410, and I intend to do the same with my T480 (at least that's what I told my wife, to justify the cost... :-D ).
AIUI the menu appears under the mouse when you right (or middle?) click.

> The NEXTSTEP operating system further developed the idea, incorporating a feature whereby the right or middle mouse button brought the main menu (which was vertical and automatically changed depending on context) to the location of the mouse, thereby eliminating the need to move the mouse pointer all the way across the large (for the time) NextStep screen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_menu
There are conditions that are considered incurable by "proper" medicine (e.g. Alzheimer's disease) and discouraging people from looking elsewhere (e.g. http://www.aging-us.com/article/100690) in those cases is just as dangerous. People are capable of considering multiple options simultaneously, and should be encouraged to inform themselves about the available treatments. In cases when two medical theories are truly incompatible, give people the right to decide what gamble they want to take, and understand that, in both cases, outcomes are uncertain.

The Checklist Manifesto. I had hoped it was going to be... I dunno, a guide to making better checklists and getting stuff done.

I'm not a famous icon for an industry but I never signed up for Facebook. I'm really enjoying not getting anymore looks of confusion or hostility when I say I don't use it. And the occasional 'I told you so' is pretty sweet too.

I just wish the public at large, or these icons leave, would acknowledge the more general problem beyond the simple partisan politics driving the flight from Facebook. Centralization is always bad. Walled gardens are always bad. The create the incentives and pressures will inevitably lead to the problems people blame Facebook for.

But nope. These same people deleting their facebook accounts are still using gmail, still using Apple's app store, and switching to using Discord or Slack or the like to talk and organize.
Secure Scuttlebutt. It's probably the only one seeing everyday use to get things done. Patchwork, the flagship app is as good as Facebook/Twitter. Scuttlers often use git over SSB, even.

What SSB gets right and the others don't, is the incentive to mirror or replicate. Virtual currency is a weak incentive in an early stage network - but friendship isn't; you mirror your friends' data.

I've seen them but want to make sure I don't miss some hidden gems!
In the US, the biggest adopters of Apple Pay have been big chain grocery, drug, convenience, etc. stores. For decades, there has been a (somewhat class-based) stigma about holding up the line in these kinds of places by paying with check, government benefits, coins, coupons, or anything else besides cash and credit.

There's also a separate, arguably more deserved stigma about entitled people causing trouble by using unnecessary technology.

These together, along with a reluctance to cause trouble for low-wage clerks, make people reluctant to risk holding up the line by using Apple Pay.

That means fewer people even try Apple Pay, so fewer other businesses see the need to make it available.
Recognized this from the Tom Scott video a month ago. If your not subscribed to him I highly recommend it. Every video he makes is interesting.

The T is great -- if you live near it, otherwise it may as well not exist (otherwise walk/bike or maybe bus route if lucky).

Trouble is, as the city has expanded massively in the last 20 years the T has stayed static. Even the Somerville/Medford-greenline extension has been watered down/will it ever happen?

Cambridge, Somerville, Medford seem to have been instituting 25 mph limits and swapping out road-space for bike lanes. Seriously, who's going to try biking in 20" of snow. Or in the dark (Nov-March).

I'd rather they just ripped up some big streets and replaced with green-line style light-rail as they have done in Manchester UK (metrolink?). For example: Rt 99 through Chelsea, Everett-Malden. Medford St / Rt 38. Mt Auburn/Rt 16/Watertown Sq. Fellsway/Rt 28 into Stoneham/Reading. (sorry, don't know much of south of the city but I'm sure there are equivalents).

It just isn't possible to have such a densely packed city, constrained at the east by the Atlantic and allow one person-per-car ... not sustainable.

There is no history of a universal global government and not agreeing with your unsupported opinion isn't even close to "willful blindness".

Why you'd make this kind of a comment I'm not sure. But it's certainly not a response to my comment because it addresses different issues and then claims "this must always be".

As far as small and localized, great, yes, I agree. However, there are issues that affect all of at a global scale. We are becoming increasingly tied together at a global scale and people's preferences probably isn't going to change that. This necessitates some kind of global rule making.

If your point was that humans are corrupt, well, I agree. So not looking for the UN to take over world government, just pointing out some things to consider.
Handwriting analysis was pseudo-scientific to begin with. The payments market has to accommodate illiterate customers, disabled customers, and people who have a broken hand at the moment.

CC networks currently use previous purchasing patterns, location, time of day, etc.

It's the same reasons why biometrics is not a magic security solution. Authentication must be based of something that's hard to fake, cheap to verify, random, and easy to change. What threshold would you set to balance false negatives and false positives? In comparison the private key in your chip card meets all of the criteria.
This is something filled out by the security and devops team not by the ticket creator.

Also, best practice would be to have "No impact" require an explanation not just simply a two word brushoff.

Edit: Also at some point you have to trust your team, hire the right type of people, and embed it in the company culture that the analysis is something to be taken seriously. If leadership takes it seriously the people filling out the forms aren't going to brush it off.
I just use “Ask ID” on all my cards. Surprised every time people ask and wonder if it would help if card is lost/stolen.
US here, got issued a chipped card about a year ago and noticed quickly that any attempt to swipe with my card would be greeted with an error message and instructions to insert the chip. For all systems I've seen, it seems that if the merchant accepts chips and if the card has a chip, the chip must be used, regardless of any user reluctance.
Namecoin?
Not that my opinion on the law matters, but I'd say felony murder rules make a lot of sense in many scenarios. If you accidentally fatally knock a man to the ground while deliberately robbing him, that's felony murder even though the killing itself was accidental. After all, the robbery was no accident. Surely killing a man by accident while committing a felony is itself a heinous crime. Calling it manslaughter just doesn't cut it. Not in my book anyway.

It only gets weird when you have two or more criminals cooperating with each other. That's when you get scenarios where one of the criminals is lawfully killed (by the police or otherwise) and another is charged with felony murder. I don't have any statistics for it, but I suspect a more common scenario is one of the criminals commits 'traditional' murder and the other criminals are then charged with felony murder for their general participation. Without some sort of felony murder you might be able to get the other participants with some sort of "conspiracy to commit" type law, but maybe not.

A more serious criticism of felony murder laws is that it incentivizes killing more witnesses after one victim has been accidentally killed, particularly in states where capital punishment is on the table for felony murder. After all, if a criminal accidentally kills one victim and is now a candidate for execution, there is little incentive left for him to not deliberately murder any witnesses (under the theory that murdering witnesses lowers the probability of capture/conviction.) It's difficult to guess how many multiple-murders started out with an accidental killing that escalated in this manner. But I'd wager this has happened far more often than the scenario where a robber is charged with murder after the police gun down his partner.
That's what I do, and for a more specific recommendation, powder dried shiitake and porcinis in equal weight in a spice mill or coffee grinder, then store in a medium-hole shaker. Add at the end of dishes for a savory boost.

Good on risotto, phillies, dusted over seasoned vegetables and sauces, on toast with butter, and pretty much anywhere else.

You've captured my interest with the smoked mushrooms, and I'm very curious to see how they can be used and processed.
OK, but doesn't AppArmor protect against that?

And it looks like it's been ported to Android and iOS. But it's not default, I guess.

But neither is AppArmor in Linux. So why haven't we heard about apps stealing stuff from /home/user/? Is it just that distros do a better job of policing their repos? Or that the userbase is too small to attract malicious app developers?

If I were buying a development machine for myself for under $2K, I would get the cheapest 27" 5K iMac with 16GB of RAM - quad core i5 3.4Ghz.

Why futz with Linux for development when you get an iMac? You get the benefits of not having to deal with Linux and the oddities Of HiDPI support and you get a Unix environment (OS X is certified Unix).

I would probably spend $2600 to get 32GB RAM and 2TB fusion drive.
