Versailles really wasn't that harsh by the standards of the time, the germans just got good propaganda out of it, for some reason.

Thanks for your comment/question. 3D secure is helpful and would be redundant. We found that 3D secure support is a bit nebulous across platforms and also dependent upon the implementation. (Javascript vs API vs your ecommerce platform.)

UpUp also lets ecommerce teams verify customers without requiring their engineering teams to immediately implement 3D secure.

We do expect we'll end up using 3D secure as part of our flow in the future.

>Second is, is there a way to gain the safety of the chip and pin with online purchases.

In the UK we have had "Verified by Visa" and "Mastercard 3D Secure" for many/most online transactions for a long time (12 years?)

It's effectively a form of 2FA, the transaction flow diverts to a bank portal where you authorise the transaction with a password, or a selection of digits from a passcode. This never goes near retailer systems.

It's not the same level.of assurance as EMV, but it is something, and any transactions that don't go via that system are more likely to be declined or flagged as fraud.
Twitter has notoriously flaky search in my experience; it is clearly geared towards discovering new content and not towards finding content you engaged with previously. This misses the point often, as more and more people use Twitter as a sort of social note taking tool.

I think this is one area where general purpose search engines are failing users currently. We should be able to tell Google "that one tweet from yesterday" and have it return something meaningful to us. Of course I understand that this is hard and becoming harder as social media companies hold on to their walled gardens, but clearly (to me anyway) the status quo is to the detriment of the user.
It's a first alpha release. We're listening to feedback. Billing is not implemented yet.

Study showing social media amplifies misinformation
Overwhelmingly true.

Even something as simple as sending an email or a phone call to "verify the shipping address" is enough to smoke out actual fraud vs. a real customer.

But... that takes time and resources from customer service, and isn't as fool-proof as having access to the actual bank/card account.
True, however those payment processors are not in competition with the sellers in terms of the goods/services being sold.

The facts are that Amazon does not sell only payment processing, order fulfillment or customer services.

I no longer contribute, but when I did my most upvoted answers were the ones I wrote on old and very popular questions. So one strategy is to order questions by the number of votes, go through them and see if you have an alternative answer that is not yet posted on the question. Doing this you will not have to rush writing your answer. Your reputation will start increasing at a slower pace, but the increase will be more stable as there are lots of people that get referred to the most upvoted questions over and over again.

For new questions there are two strategies. First is to post a sketch of an answer first, and then edit and edit and edit to add more content to it. This way OP will see the core of it quickly and can upvote and nobody will "scoop" you on it. Second strategy is to write detailed and elaborate answer so that when your answer appears it will outshine the rivals by being the most comprehensive and most deep.

But frankly, nowadays, I feel like 95% of newly posted questions are duplicates and should be closed, yet aren't because even high rep users prefer to post a quick answer for some points, instead of going through the (as of yet unrewarded) effort to close the answer properly.

Also a lot depends on the tag.

Apple's market share when it comes to streaming video is not as dominant as it is for mobile apps. Samsung, Android, and WebOS platforms out-share them by quite a bit, Amazon had already established their app in those markets, along with the success of the firestick.

This was all about subscriptions, and the customers weren't watching or had stopped watching on apple devices in 2016/17, so Apple was willing to concede the rev share % to retain subscriptions that started on their platform. Now Apple gets to count those numbers as subs, even if they aren't watching on Apple devices anymore.
TL;DR Epson is really greedy.

> Epson uses an "inkpad" to clear its printer (jets?) before printing. Eventually the amount of ink deposited in this blotter-type system fills and must be replaced. Unfortunately it seems as if replacing the inkpad is very messy and difficult. Our printer is used so frequently that the inkpad needs to be replaced every six months.

Yep, I think native scrollbars is reasonable for DGXL. Maybe eventually you’ll sniff whether scrollbars take space and draw your own that match the size if they do, but it’s definitely a little risky.

These sorts of things are particularly interesting once you support a sparse spreadsheet; drawing your own scrollbars becomes much more compelling then, so that you can make them more useful. No idea about Excel, but LibreOffice Calc—(which amusingly gets scrolling by precise touchpad wrong in just the same way as Luckysheet, sans the wrong horizontal direction; this stuff is hard everywhere)—well, LibreOffice Calc’s scrollbars essentially pretend the whole time that the document is only as large as the extent of the cells with content or the selection, whichever is larger in each axis, plus a screenful or so in each axis. So if you’re at A1 of an empty document, the scrollbars thumbs fill about half of the bar, but if you’re at AMJ1048576 (maximum sheet dimensions are 2¹⁰×2²⁰), the thumbs are tiny at the bottom and right.
Can you mention some examples of novels by working-class authors from before the introduction of copyright and commercial publishing?
Don’t put words in my mouth. Every sector has winners and losers, that’s not the point. The point is that free platforms allow people to ALSO build different stuff and redefine what we use machines for; the appstore does not.

On the desktop, one can invent p2p or a new type of browser or a magic app that makes unicorns out of tcp packets. On the appstore, entire areas of development are forbidden, in order to guarantee a constant stream of cash to Apple and Google.

On the desktop, if you make a life-changing app, you get competition. On the appstore, if you threaten Apple/Google dominance, you get banned.

Appstores make a mockery of the free market; anybody who lived through the 80s/90s “wild west” of computing should see them for the obscene freedom-destroying schemes that they are.
They don't have to be in the same business, just organized to suppress competition. The original trusts were groups of different companies that shared board members (trustees).

In Serbia (eastern europe) a type of direct debit is realized in cooperation with the client's bank.

The service provider (this is usually used to automatically pay utility bills, rent and mobile/Internet bills) makes a "deal" with some banks, whereby the bank can store a number identifier and the service provider can tell the bank what amount to charge.

The safety part is, however, that the bank's client must obtain the identifier (usually account ID in the service provider's system) and give it to the bank, either with a written request or on the bank's online portal. Only then will the bank process the provider's charges to the client's account.

Disputes are not common and take a lot of time because an actual investigation is done, often times it is resolved in the provider's favor because the client did knowingly consent to the terms and did enter the identifier into the bank's system or give a written statement in the bank's offices.

In general, in this system it is impossible to charge someone without them agreeing that they want to be charged. If they do want to be charged however, and agree to the terms, you can charge them an unlimited amount, which they have to then dispute and provide evidence of unwanted activity. This happens rarely though, because such charges would cause extremely high fines to the service provider, due to gross negligence or malicious intent, whichever is applicable.

I do not know of any person that was "robbed"/scammed this way.
JavaScriptCore had an amusing scheme where they'd make an (executable) memcpy gadget with the address hardcoded, then throw away read permissions to that memory. So the pointer's address is thus not readable without modifying memory permissions.

Yes. Nothing you wrote leads me to believe you do understand the purpose of 2fa. You can complain all you like, but to me, and apparently others, it seems that you don't from what you wrote. If what you write is misleading to so many people then perhaps rather than complaining about people mis-interpreting what you wrote you might re-visit the thing you wrote.

I think NoSorryCannot is making a distinction between object-level political motivations (ie, the books themselves are political and the burners wish to deny people access specifically to the viewpoints represented within) versus meta-level political motivations (the burners want to establish a precedent that they are entitled to burn books, but don't have any particular objection to the content of said books).

You indicated you’ve covered the material, I was echoing that I then gained an understanding that you already know.

This is not true.

I'm talking about worker productivity within the US. Hour for hour we're outputting more and getting paid less. Before overseas labor you weren't less productive because you had to make your own clothes or something. That time had already long passed. I'm talking about what has happened since the 1950s, not the 1850s.
One point missed by the article is visibility: even with SMS-2FA, I at least know when my password is being used by someone else (modulo sim-based attacks). For example, if my password manager gets hacked, and a password leaks. I think the overall conclusion is still right: it's a rather minor concern and let's come up with a proper solution and not waste the developers' good will on this one.
I wish there were more live-coding and / or code snippets!

Yes they allow debit, but the other party should acquire some sort of authorization from you, even if the requirements are not strong.

The typical use case: you want to allow recurrent payment for your electric bill. You login in with your credentials on the electric company website, then you give them your IBAN and you press a button to accept the terms and authorize them. The company then checks that the name on your bill is the same as the name linked to your bank account and that's it, they are allowed to charge you.

I know that it does not seem secure, but the rate of fraud is really low, at least in my country:

- your bank send you a notification when some company activate a recurrent debit scheme on you account;

- you can see some days in advance on your home banking what you are being debited, and you can freely cancel the charge up to 8 weeks after it happened, for any reason. The chargeback is automatic;

- you have 13 month to ask for a chargeback if you believe you did not give authorization, and is the company that must prove that you really authorize them. The chargeback is automatic;

- to enable the scheme the company has to go through their bank, and the bank is responsible for the chargeback if the company does not pay. So only big and medium business are usually enabled by their banks, because they don't want chargebacks;

The U.S. Government Is Addicted to the Tech Giants’ Success
That's because of iOS was never good at inter app communication (Android's version of intents) and that made Siri a worse experience for users and ultimately doomed it in the assistant wars.

I don't think Apple management sat down and thought, right, how do we kneecap competing music streaming providers? Okay lets build Apple Music support for Siri but not Spotify.

It was just that no iOS apps had deep Siri integration and they've been one-offing implementations for common usecases like timers, alarms etc. for the longest time. I assume someone got a project funded by the Music org to go one off the Apple Music usecase as well and here we are.
There isn't a universal one. If you don't have a concrete one in mind, you shouldn't produce the log at all.
That's still not really "more secure" than EMV, which includes active security measures like PIN validation capabilities, various active anti-fraud measures like offline velocity checks, transaction amounts encoded in cryptographic tokens, and which can in theory be remotely disabled etc.

I guess it makes it "more /just as able to be authenticated as a genuine card" though.

> you can renew when that's over

You could now try, if the DRM allows it, and the Internet Archive only temporarily during the lockdowns, through the DRM, allowed more than one person to read the book. That is, you could have had it for 14 days, but now you just couldn't renew it anymore unless nobody reads it.
Right, but digital lending looks a lot more like software licenses where libraries buy "seats" that correspond the number of simultaneous borrowers. If you have more borrowers than seats you've violated copyright.

Most libraries work with publishers to buy lending rights directly but IA is arguing that if I hold one physical copy of a work and promise not to "perform" (copyright jargon is odd) it while it's in my possession then I may transmit that work digitally to another person kinda bridging first sale and seats of digital lending licenses.

I guess we'll find out if the court buys it. Because under normal circumstances this is open and shut copyright violation.
It doesn't inherently require a heap allocation, but the common, non-embedded use case does.
Haha, you made my day Chris! This issue bothers for quite a long time, and I just didn't know how to fix it. In fact, I thought this is just some css issue, and didn't affect the functionality, so didn't invest too much time on it, also because of my procrastination :)

Thanks for suggesting the fix!!!
In the US context-
A) Copyright terms have increased 5 fold over the centuries.
B) The Supreme has ruled, at least in many contexts, that creating a backup copy of a work is fair use. I believe generally this applies so long as the backups are not sold or distributed separately from the original.

So, at least in some context this is false- the reader's right is to the information contained within the physical copy, not just the physical copy itself.
Probably really depends on location. In Czechia the local alternative mapy.cz is vastly superior to Google Maps. It includes roads and trails that are not even drawn on Google Maps and the maps contain much more information in overall.
This is false. I do not understand how so many people are coming in here peddling this theory with 0 sources. It doesn't even follow basic logic. You're positing that we're spending more while also earning less? Where's that money coming from then?

It's objective that productivity has increased while pay and leisure time have decreased. This isn't a result of any increase in material goods. People are spending less because simply because they're getting paid less.

In 1956 the federal minimum wage was $1 (roughly $10 adjusted for inflation). Today it's 3/4 of that at 7.25.
"Second, most libraries already have legal digital lending systems and so their digital stocks were going out too (which also negates IAs after the fact justification)."

Most libraries' digital lending is completely separate from their physical lending or from the Internet Archive's scanned book program. Those digital lending systems have no relevance to this case.

Absolutely, the vast majority (95%+) of logs are never read by a human. Therefore, processing it is enormously wasteful. A good architecture will write once and not touch anything until it is needed.

I spent years working on system handling 50+PB/day of logs. No database or ELK can handle that, and even if it did it would be prohibitively expensive.

The NACHA response is missing the forest for the trees. Securing the account data is great, but it's only a small piece of the puzzle.

It doesn't:
a) penalize ACH Originators responsible for submitting the fraudulent entry (beyond the recently implemented $4.50 charge)
b) do anything to promote alternative account numbers for EFTs, which in theory could be better protected as they won't be on paper checks
c) promote better validation tools to prevent the likes of Plaid and entities using their APIs from harvesting broad amounts of private consumer financial data
