To send money over £250, RBS still use hardware card readers for their MFA flow. You put your debit/credit card in the device, entry your normal pin and then a code that is displayed on the website. It's a little inconvenient of you don't have the device with you when you need to send large amounts of money but in general it's great to have rather than SMS.

Of course, I expect that eventually they'll move to SMS too since it's easier for them and more on line with the rest of the industry.

Its not that hard when you taint structs with PII, so that the log library faults if it tries to log it.
> You said that it's necessary to sue to protect trademarks. In this case, where is the necessity?

I understand you don't like questions.

Moglen founded SFLC and helped SFC come to the light.

He even registered SFC trademark, he asked for the cancellation of SFC, not the trademark of "Free Software".

Now it's sure that no one will try to register a trademark similar to FSLC or FSC dealing with free software.

With that move he protected both.

There's no need to double down on the false accusation line.

Facts are well know by now.

> You can choose to believe me or you can choose to believe I'm lying - entirely up to you.

I'm not a believer.

I prefer the sane way of doing things: reviewing evidence.

You are not providing any, just "believe me or not", which is not what I'd like to do when it's about my money.

You said something about Moglen that upset me, I've just asked for a clarification, that you refuse to provide.

> Eh. Asked him to resign with the understanding that he'd be fired otherwise

So you did fire him, but issued a different statement.

Good to know.

> It's not a crime, it's just inappropriate to take money from a company and provide legal opinions that serve their interests

When did this happen exactly?

Wasn't Moglen providing legal opinions to Debian, the FSF, Canonical, but not Oracle?

And What interests are you talking about?

Is Google any different from Oracle?

One of my favourite programmer ever, Alan Cox (who also kinda look like Stallman), worked for a long time on the Linux kernel but was also being paid by Intel for a few years. What's wrong about that?

> as general counsel for an organisation that strongly and publicly holds a different opinion

The different opinion was a minor difference though.

I remember the OpenZFS problem: the only difference was that Moglen believed that users can legally distribute copies of OpenZFS binary blobs as the result of the compilation of an openly licensed source code, while FSF said no.

They had the same opinion on everything else.

Even Linus said in the past “But one gray area in particular is something like a driver that was originally written for another operating system (ie clearly not a derived work of Linux in origin). At exactly what point does it become a derived work of the kernel (and thus fall under the GPL)?”

Is this enough to fire people?

BTW Canonical have been distributing OpenZFS for years now and the sky has not fallen, nor Oracle have become richer thanks to that. They still distribute the real ZFS (the proprietary one) which is a much better implementation of ZFS.

Landing page is pretty impressive. Nice work :)
'AI research is making great strides toward its long-term goal of human-level or superhuman intelligent machines.'

This is what irritates me about articles like this. They state this (and then this one then comes up with a bunch of weak arguments supposedly representing the opposition) but provide no evidence of these great strides.

What we've had great strides in (as far as I know) is the application of increasing computational power for specific applications. Which is great, but is _not_ getting us nearer that goal.
In France at least you need to keep the member number a secret from everybody. Since banks here are lazy bums with security they only ever implement the minimum recommended security. According to French data protection services this is 5 digits!!! when the 'username' is secret.

Never disclose your member number.
It was, before movies have sound. Since the end of the age of silent movies, movies have become able to tell very different kinds of stories. Some are entirely visual, some are entirely about dialogue, some are about music, or sound, or whatever. And most are about a mixture of those.

There's no single point to the medium. It's a powerful medium exactly because it's so flexible.

That makes more sense then. Plus, the larger the data set, the more chance (in theory) of duplicates... especially windows system files, etc.
In the scam in question, you (as the victim) - hang up the line. You then pickup the receiver to call your bank, via the number on your card.

The scammer, when they hear you hangup, plays a dial-tone down the line, so when you pickup the receiver, you have the impression that the line is clean.

You start to dial, they stop the 'dial tone', play a fake calling tone, and then 'answer' the call.

This would be incredibly malicious and difficult to detect even for the most skeptical of users.
There seems to be broad consensus amongst the commenters that this is the most reliable defense against this kind of attack. Makes sense. If they are able to intercept my outbound calls, it's probably an entirely different level of sophistication and targeting.
In my bank (Poland here) they have a mobile app which receives push notifications instead of SMS messages. The notification also contains the reason for the code. So in OP's case it would say "Code for resetting your account password", which would probably trigger a red flag sooner.
Not disagreeing with you in general, but:

> The readers for my bank even have a screen, that tells you what you are signing, like a login, or transfer of which amount to which bank account.

That's information that could and should also be included in the SMS. The OP's bank did not do this, which is a huge fail on their part.
Is it though? What if I plan to travel for a long time and still want my data to be backup up just in case?

> With weather apps that give you the rainfall down to a few minutes, you can escape the weather by either biking in the lulls, participating in a e-bike scooter sharing system, or falling back on public transport when you need.

Hey, I just made an account to ask what weather app you're talking about? I have tried Dark Sky and Buienradar on iOS but they don't seem to send rain notifications as expected. Right now I'm looking out the window and it's raining (like, the water is collecting on the ground/rooftops) but neither app has notified me. I've just checked to make sure that they have notifications and location access allowed as well.
You confuse state prosecution with private consequences.

A right to Free Speech can only protect you from government sanctions. How other private parties react to your "taboo" opinions cannot be legislated.

And I'd like to break a lance for "political correctness" here. Hate speech and offensive language in general do make a public or private space uncomfortable for certain people. Not all of this can be avoided, but in the case of race and gender, those who feel offended can't really change their offendedness. And because those people are usually a minority, it is usually someone else who steps up to the task of defending such a space.

Unfortunately, an aggressive climate fueled by hate speech leads to worse consequences than offended feelings. So, in many cases, why not avoid offending people? And in many cases at issue, the main motivation of the offenders is the offending, not what they believe is the "truth".
A majority of people don't care enough about ads for a service like this to work and those that do use adblockers.
His first mistake was to read back the verification number? Why would they legitimately asked for this theoretically?

You should never have to read back a verification code.
Interesting. Chromium seems to be huge indeed. I googled statistics: 3+ million lines of code? Is that about right? (Not that LOC is a great universal metric of everything, but it's something.)

For comparison: I work on something a magnitude smaller: https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/ ... about ~360,000 LOC. CLion is pretty great for that.

I'm curious, have the VM garbage collection and allocation settings been adjusted? In other words, not just the memory limits but also switching to a different garbage collector and the GC control mechanisms adjusted? I've been reading up on the collectors. As far as I can tell the G1 collector is strongly indicated when you go above a 4 or 8GB heap. It then has a number of settings to adjust. I got really good and smooth performance out of it - few and short enough pauses that I was at peace with CLion - but seemingly I set the garbage collection to be "too continuous" which caused constant CPU usage when I used that profile in Pycharm on a Python project. Had to switch Pycharm back to a more, uh, classical GC setup. (I didn't reconfigure to rein it back in as it was unnecessary in that context. I'm sure it's possible.) The JVM and the GC are a rather interesting beast.

Just curious :)

I agree. The same goes for email obviously. But some financial institutions are actively luring customers into doing the wrong thing.

Paypal really stands out on this one. They are regularly sending me emails with a link to their login page to view my recent transactions (regardless of whether or not there are any transactions). This is clearly negligent.
Wow, this really is something if done right. I don't use a landline now, but if I remember, the caller needs to disconnect for the line to actually be disconnected. So even if the callee tries to disconnect by hanging up, the caller is still actually connected. If the callee picks up the receiver again and hears a dial tone, they'd be none the wiser. But I guess the scammer would also need to detect a key-press tone on the line and stop the fake dial tone, start the ring tone, etc.

Yes, AEB is specifically designed to avoid the problems we saw with earlier interventions like ABS where users who don't understand the technology may mistake its safety interventions for their own skill and so trick themselves into driving worse than before.

AEB deliberately chooses maximum braking to a full stop because that does NOT feel like skill, it correctly feels like you nearly died just there. The experience is intended to be "Oh shit" not "See, I was never going to hit that, it's fine".

Yes, this has been the recommendation for a long while. Always call back on the official number you got elsewhere, not the caller ID number.

Sometimes the one calling you is already suggesting you to do this just to verify. Especially bank and police I noticed.

I had to use Qt as the UI lib for a project, it made me discover that QtCreator was actually not a Qt-only tool but a very good lightweight and generic C++ IDE.

That's my choice now. I need something that can navigate easily in a code base, I don't really like learning all the oddities around emacs and vim (even though I am a bit competent at vim) and I don't see what is so bad in using a mouse.

At first I thought annoying to have to manually edit the .includes and .config to add the includes and the macro I needed in our complex, hard-to-parse CMake based project, but now I really enjoy the freedom it gives.

The phone 2fa app asks you to verify the action, and you input your PIN.

My banks hardware token also needs a PIN before it generates a one-time code.

Some bank tokens just give you the code when you press a button, though. Those, you have to worry if stolen.
The thread hanging off this post (which had nothing to do with downvoting) has been "disappeared". That leaves a bad taste. It seems unnecessary.

I really see what Apple is trying to do here - I do not want a system as in Windows, where my Game Launcher X scans my hard drive for other game launchers, and extracts contacts & game list just to send it to Game Launcher X manufacturers servers for "analytics" or "enhancing my user experience". (this is just an unconfirmed rumour but nonetheless, see [0])

Apps have become far more than just programs and tools we use to solve a problem, they have become marketing channels and data-gatherer for the companys creating them. The time we can install a program from a trustworthy source and give it full access to OS APIs and the Filesystem are gone.

I do not have a better technical solution as what Apple shipped, but I really am glad that I can prevent Applications from scanning through my Downloads folder or settings folders of other applications.

Hey, this is actually how it works in Turkey. All SMS messages for transaction purposes from banks have a disclaimer, which indicates whether to share the code with customer service representative or not.

For example, for online transactions, the SMS includes a warning to not share the code with anyone, while SMS codes for telephone banking tells you to share the number with the representative.
The problem for me was that, they used negative ID to store unrelated data from the table intent. It's like having a kind of "hidden world" within your tables.

There is a lot of topics discussing the use of negative ID when the ID store the same datas all the way from negative to positive.

But storing unrelated datas - data reserved to the system for the developper - on the negative IDs of table ... to "save space" ?
That for me is bad database design and a problem.
The most surprising part is that they were able to gain access to your account using just the code texted to you. It's called second factor for a reason. The bank should still have sent you a password reset email.
To me, the two versions here don't seem like 'showing' vs 'telling,' but interior monologue vs exterior view.
