http://dip21.bundestag.de/dip21/btd/19/151/1915163.pdf from page 77, § 58a. IANAL but it looks like it matches the summary from the article pretty well. There are some exceptions, like if you can prove that opening it up would weaken the security. But it's rather clearly tailored to apply to Apple Pay.

Here's a lightly touched-up translation courtesy of deepl.com -- not sure if the references made it intact (and pretty sure the legalese didn't), but it's using "clause" to refer to the numbered sub-paragraph things:

§ 58a: Access to technical infrastructure services in connection with the provision of payment services or the conduct of electronic money business

(1) An enterprise which contributes to the provision of payment services or the operation of electronic money business in Germany through technical infrastructure services (system enterprise) shall be obliged, upon request of a payment service provider within the meaning of § 1 Clause 1 sentence 1 numbers 1 to 3 or of an electronic money issuer within the meaning of § 1 Clause 2 sentence 1 numbers 1 or 2, to make these technical infrastructure services available without delay and subject to reasonable fees and reasonable conditions of access. The provision within the meaning of sentence 1 must be designed in such a way that the requesting enterprise can provide or operate its payment services or electronic money transactions without hindrance.

(2) Clause 1 shall not apply if, at the time of the request, the system operator is not a company whose technical infrastructure services are used by more than 10 payment service providers within the meaning of § 1 Clause 1 Sentence 1 Nos. 1 to 3 or e-money issuers within the meaning of § 1 Clause 2 Sentence 1 Nos. 1 or 2 or which has more than 2 million registered users.

(3) In exceptional cases, the system operator shall not be obligated in accordance with Clause 1 if there are objectively justified reasons for refusing to make the service available. These are particularly present if the system enterprise can prove that the security and integrity of the technical infrastructure services is specifically endangered by the provision. The rejection must be comprehensibly justified.

(4) If a system enterprise culpably infringes clause 1, it shall be obliged to compensate the inquiring enterprise for the resulting damage. The ordinary legal process is given.

(5) The duties and responsibilities of the cartel authorities under the Act against Restraints of Competition shall remain unaffected.

Is there some joke I'm not getting? querySelector has worked on IE since version 8.
I've seen the mess that banking apps on Android made. Not supporting certain phone models despite having NFC, needing a special SIM-card for the secure element, horrible UX. Multi-bank support meant switching between apps before payment. It's better now but far from perfect.

The benefit of the Apple Wallet for customers is having all your cards in one app, available from the lock screen. The benefit to the bank is that they don't have to make an app, they just need the back-end integration with Apple Pay.
I was thinking about how much I would love it here in the US if I could have a one stop banking app for all my balances that isnt selling them to Facebook or something sketchy. I think open APIs would be the only way I would trust it. If I had the app source it would work for me. Even if I only have it for bigger banks I just want less apps and more uniformity.
Can someone explain me the major difference of this with being on a vpn along with a private tab? Thank you.
The other point I find missing is that this kind algorithmic optimization tends to miss solutions that are quite obvious to "system designers" due to local maxima (evolutionary roadblocks).

I totally agree the image quality can be much improved. So I'm really sorry you had this experience today trying it out!

Would you be unwilling to mail me cris@dosycorp.com and I can contact you if and when I have image improvements to share?

Initially, I used JPEG for all clients, then for clients with browsers that support WebP (chrome) I switch on WebP since the quality increase is a LOT (but WebP in FF looks pixelated, so I hope I can find a way around that), even tho the bandwidth is the same.

For Safari and iOS the quality is on JPEG. It sounds like it has sacrificed the ability ot interact with text, resolution, color accuracy and frame rate, etc. I'm really sorry about this.

Some people seem okay to roll RBI out in a test deployment, without the code being open-sourced. I can't speak directly for them, but I assume that Symantec (who bought FireGlass Browser), Menlo, WEBGAP, Light Point, Ericom, Authentic8, Citrix all have some customers even tho they are not OSS. I think that, often, as long as the contract provides the ability to examine the code if required (due diligence) even without publishing it openly, sales happen.

It sounds like you're unfamiliar with RBI, is that right? This is still an emerging industry so it makes sense to me that even if you are in security you are unfamiliar with RBI.

This is very reasonable, given that the bank only needs to maintain an integration with Apple Pay and that they don't have to support and maintain an app and all kinds of devices. Apple does that for them.

This doesn't explain how the mapping from Latin characters was originally determined. I thought it might just be the result of a font for a legacy character encoding being used with ASCII data, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Of all the legacy encodings (shift-jis, gb18030, big5 etc.) my Python installation supports, the only encoding that produces CJK for bytes < 128 is UTF-16:

import encodings
import unicodedata

def try_default(default, f, *args, **kwargs):
try: return f(*args, **kwargs)
except: return default

b = bytes(range(128))
for encoding in set(encodings.aliases.aliases.values()):
s = try_default('', b.decode, encoding)
if any('CJK' in try_default('', unicodedata.name, c) for c in s):
print(encoding, ''.join(c for c in s if c.isprintable()))

Only time I have heard that expression is in Michael Jackson's Billie Jean :-)

"Who will dance on the floor in the round"

According to https://www.shmoop.com/michael-jackson-billie-jean/lyrics.ht...
"'In the round' is a phrase that identifies an architectural setup.

Usually applied to theaters, here the term establishes that seating surrounds the dance floor. When applied to theaters, the term means that audience seating surrounds the stage area.

The key idea here: Billie Jean is a star on the dance floor. All eyes are on her."

Maybe the phrase used in these two settings have nothing in common; but who knows?

These non-universalizable actions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universalizability

There have been hundreds if not thousands of philosophy papers written on the subject.

Because there are too many clients with a wide range of supported/unsupported features.

The only solution out there that supports cross platform JINGLE is AstraChat[^1], which is closed source and commercial, but they lack OMEMO and Carbons.

Conversations on Android has both OMEMO and Carbons, but no audio/video or p2p transfer files.

Pidgin, Empathy, Gajim, etc are lacking behind with features, though Pidgin can be made reasonable up to date, still without JINGLE[^2].

Surprisingly it isn't mentioned what the characters mean at all. Most of the non-decomposed characters are martial arts related: 功夫 kung fu, 武術 martial arts, 空手 karate, 道場 dojo, 氣 qi/ki (air), 流 flowing, 安 peace, 康 health, 極 the 'chi' from taichi, and 拳 fist.

Some even line up with the letter, using Chinese or Japanese pronunciation, e.g. fu from kung fu, jitsu, kara from karate, ryu.

The rest seems to be corruption from these building blocks.

I don't have 10 engineers. It's already super complex. Adding extra layer will just make things worse. I reckon custom solution would be simpler for majority of use cases.

> It is a simple matter of competition.

It’s most certainly not that simple. Anybody who wants to is free to compete with Apple, and many, many companies already do. But this is legislators dictating what 3rd party software Apple must support in its operating systems. Why stop there? Why not force Apple to support 3rd party providers as an alternative to iCloud? Why not mandate a 3rd party App Store? Why should Apple be allowed any control over which operating system or hardware features it exposes to 3rd parties at all? Why should Amazon be allowed to ship a kindle that only supports their book store?

Ask HN: How can containers (like Docker) and container management be improved?
I am primarily a backend dev but I always had a secret affair with 'systems' level things. For the past 3 months I've been dragged into managing the DevOps of a small startup. Being a fan of good tools (and not caring about the status quo), I immediately resorted to using Docker containers and tools like Traefik for easing reverse proxy, load balancing, SSLs and what not. Soon I realized that there was whole new world out there that I never knew learned about in my undergrad studies (class of '19).

But very soon I also realized that Docker (the only containarization tool I've used) has a lot of weaknesses. For some fun (and profit?) I would want to work on fixing few things. What are your main pains using containers?

Here's my list (but could be completely uninformed and that's why I'm here):
1. Lack of `hot reloading` kind of thing. I don't mean application wise but container wise. It's not so much fun attaching or changing a port in a container on the fly.
2. Caches. It's not transparent at all when and why and where caches were used. I mean once you're a pro it's quite easy(?), but for beginners it's really painful.
