As someone coming from a country whose government sucessfully provides several means to prevent these kinds of scenarios, the idea of seeing this as a fundamentally good thing frankly strikes me as absurd.
The data stored is always the same.

The point is that for Chip & PIN cards, the banks don't expect any magstripe transactions at all (for markets where EMV is in effect, like the UK), which means the card data would be pretty useless as anyone attempting to use them would trip all kinds of fraud alerts.

I would not worry about the card data. What's much more important is the other stuff like loyalty cards, etc.

All those "the attacker won't have the knowledge" underestimate that the attacker can simply run their own websites tracking the exact same stuff, and can then just get the same knowledge.

I have a similar experience. Filling in fields and switching with the TAB button then pressing ENTER always brings me to a visual recognition test, while manually clicking on the fields (and adding a bit of sloppiness) is most of the time an immediate validation from reCAPTCHA2.

However I'm pretty sure this was advertised or at least acknowledged by Google in the launching of reCAPTCHA v2.

> But then why do I need a wife?

For emotional reasons. People function better when they are under the impression that there exists another human being that gives a shit about them, that respects them, that will listen to them and actually care what they say. People without spouse sometimes find hard to convince themselves that this is the case.

If you are emotionless person maybe you really don't need a wife. Cooking and cleaning services are cheaper than wife. You also don't need a child because they are expensive and give no benefit. If you have them as an "old age insurance" you might get very disappointed because support from your child as you get old depends on how much emotional connection with you they had and that might be lacking if you are a person that finds money more important than emotions.

Once the personal data is out, it is out, we can do nothing about it. It is not only credit card number that matters, our personal information matters the most. Unfortunately, we haven't seen any exemplary punishment for the responsible parties, nor have we seen any solid step taken in general to prevent data breach. It seems regular data breach is just to make us comfortable without a tail (reference to Aesop's fable: THE FOX WITHOUT A TAIL)

These pieces of information seem important (quotes from article):

1) It is investigating the hacking attempt, which began in July last year.

2) Dixons insists that it only discovered this latest hack a week ago

3) "The hackers had tried to gain access to one of the processing systems of Currys PC World and Dixons Travel stores, the firm said."

4) here was "an attempt to compromise" 5.8 million credit and debit cards but only 105,000 cards without chip-and-pin protection had been leaked

5) The good news is that nearly all of them were protected by good old chip and pin - and there is no evidence of any fraud relating to the 100,000 non European cards which didn't have that protection.

All of this suggests that rather than an attempt to breach a database or storage system, the attack was persistent and similar to that which occurred to Target where attackers breached the POS card terminal payment processing system.

Altogether a more 'worrying' type of attack given the length of time it was in place.
That is victim blaming, just because you do not know that everybody out there is tracking you does not mean that you have decided to let them.

I agree that this is something people should be more aware of and school is a good place to start. However it is up to browser manufacturers to fix this, not users.
I don't think this is the problem, at least in the UK market.

For English Premier League there was initially just Sky bidding. Prices got pretty ridiculous for the matches as the football association could keep on putting price up and as so many people take Sky just for sports, they had no option to accept.

It then has got even more loopy. BT under the ex-CEO got into the fray, with BT and Sky bidding against each other for matches. Fees skyrocketed even more.

Now Amazon is bidding for live matches, so there is a 3 way bid driving prices even higher.

Even buying Sky Sports by itself is still really expensive, about £35/$50/month via NowTV. Plus you'd need BT Sports (~£10/month) and now Amazon Prime (~£8/month) to watch all the matches.

Sports are just going to keep on getting more and more expensive until the end customer stops paying, as the market will just work that way.

No, ETH is the token of the original chain which we agreed by social consensus to fork because of an attacker. A public blockchain is a network of people, and the vast majority of the community is in Ethereum. That's what legitimises it.

Another example is BTC vs BCH. BCH is the original bitcoin code, but BTC is the original Bitcoin community.
> We tend to cut costs and reward the capital managers... but why not maintain costs while rewarding employees?

Because there is competition. If not you, then someone else will cut costs, and then you can either start cutting costs too, or get outcompeted. Either way, costs get reduced anyway.

Now it sometimes happens that a bunch of competing companies can coordinate and agree to not cut costs. Those cases are usually of interest to the regulators, because the benefits almost universally line the pockets of top company executives, and trickle down to neither employees, nor customers.

I think parameterized packages are a great idea. It would be a light-weight way of getting just a bit of generic code into go.

I made gotemplate to explore that idea

This requires a round of `go generate` for the actual code generation, but otherwise quite a similar experience.

> I think most devs who dislike it because it reduces the barrier to entry which undermines both their own prestige and quality of coworkers.

I think the prestige comment is a bit unfair, but today at work I had to educate a JS dev on what headers are in a HTTP request/request and some other pretty basic things (a dictionary/record type object and a JSON string are not the same thing for one). They were like "I know I've got to do these things, but I don't know why/how they work".

So yeah, I don't think disliking it because that's the average quality of JS dev I see is an unreasonable position. I'm sure there's some great ones out there doing impressive things, but I'm sure you could point them towards nearly any language and they'd produce something equally cool.

Agreed, autonomous vehicles might offer some benefits inclding road safety in the very long run, however we could do so much better right now if laws were enforced / people were actually following them or just care. The system is designed with plenty of buffer in it, it is just the nature of most drivers to disregard speeding limtis and safe trailing distances.

As a consequence imo it is misguided to measure AVs against average drivers, because more average drivers on the road is exactly what I would rather not have.
Anything related to ATT is doomed. I've dealt with that company both professionally and personally and it's a mess. How it's managed to get this big and survive is beyond me.

- And perhaps you know just which? - inquired Berlioz with the most natural irony, he had clearly been drawn into some kind of absurd conversation, - and can tell me?

- Certainly, - responded the stranger. He measured Berlioz with his gaze, as if he were sewing him a suit, and mumbled through his teeth, something like: 'One, two... Mercury in the second house... the moon is down... six - misfortune... evening - seven...” - then he loudly and delightedly proclaimed: - You'll have your head cut off!”

If they discovered it last week, it's notifiable under the terms of the GDPR. Given the £400k fine they had last time was ~80% of what is allowed under the DPA, I think they can expect something more substantial this time.

Given they also were out of compliance with PCI-DSS, they can expect an industry "fine" as well.
It's all about developer productivity and nothing else. Well, maybe a healthy dose of cargo cutting. But anyway, no care is really given anymore about resource usage, etc because all of that is abundant.

Trouble is, our psychology doesn’t work that well. Yes, in that scenario more lives are saved by going in faster, but people react more strongly to the one hundred deaths than to the nine hundred who don’t die.

Heck, throw in the availability heuristic bias and we as a species react about as strongly to the four deaths caused by AI than to the roughly three million caused by humans in the same period.

I don't believe that chip and pin data is stored locally. Assuming that the payment records were from point-of-sale equipment then the entire transaction, including customer information is end-to-end encrypted and wouldn't (couldn't) be stored by the retailer [0]. I guess this either means that mag-stripe transactions do involve storing the card number locally, or there's something else at play here.

Except that this problem is strictly american problem that more/less requires nation-wide therapy from the red scare and acceptance of positive sides of socialism and how through grass-root pressure, trade unions and political activism, it actually shaped the western world for the better (an 8-hour workday was a blasphemy before socialism, as just one blatant example).

Can we skip to the bit where we start re-writing software that we re-wrote in JS in other, more appropriate languages? :P
If your only concern is the ergonomics of the language then there are lots of compile-to-JS languages. Some of them also compile to WebAssembly, which allows them to bypass the GC. It’s still not native speed, but it’s close enough for many applications.

There are pros and cons, but within the next few years it could become common to write in your language of choice, compile to WebAssembly, and ship an app that’s within roughly 50% of native speed.

I imagine JS will still be hugely popular even in that scenario, but that’s a different topic.

Can someone give me some estimated costs?

I was playing with the flex environment with an express app (nothing special: cloud sql, cloud storage, etc). It ended up costing like ~$80 when I forgot to shut down a zero traffic dev instance for a month. It starts two instances by default and even if I set manual scaling to 1, it still costs like $40 a month. (I ended up going with a $5 VPS instead)

Is standard environment any cheaper? Curious about some real numbers for development and when deployed at scale.

Hi, If you're looking for a revolutionary automatic toothbrush I heard about a new product "Y-Brush 10 seconds".

The bristles are in nylon which is more efficient than silicon. Plus, the single-sided mouthpiece is more comfortable and won't provoke gag-reflexes.

For PC gaming, the move from pre to post Voodoo cards was a revolution leap I have yet to see again in that space. Everything since has been evolutionary. Carmack and glQuake were one of things leading the charge. Each new game, new video card, new processor at the time brought so much new power and excitement. It was the golden age.
Doom was the first networked PC game I played. It was one of the first of it's kind. It opened up a world of connected gaming that lasted at least a decade.

I also think it began a golden age.

That doesn't really matter to my arguments. I've used front-end and back-end web dev merely as examples of main drivers of each technology. What matters is that growth of Ruby and related technologies in recent years has been negligible (it has been in free-fall for the last few when considering relative figures actually), and the singular instance of it's major growth was during the 37Signals/Rails era ergo web dev.
