> I think the problem with APP fraud is a lack of user education (and maybe consequences - users expect the bank to always make them whole and so don't take security seriously) as well as insufficient enforcement on the other side

We know that banks don't want to discourage people from spending money or using their services, but even as a consumer I hate dealing with chargebacks.

My significant other doesn't watch their credit card statement and signed up for some LinkedIn service that was never used for like 6 months. LinkedIn isn't going to refund money that far back and chargebacks won't go back that far, either. I don't think any lesson was learned.

Maybe I'm more sympathetic to merchants and avoid charge backs? If I don't recognize a charge, I usually assume I don't recognize the merchant and investigate and reach out to them first. I feel like half the time I do have to issue charge backs the bank invalidates my card (even though I know it was not lost or stolen). I feel like they're penalizing me.

> What's always missing from stories like this is how the crooks get the money out.

It is in the article:

The fraudsters had told her to shift her "at risk" cash to an account on a cryptocurrency platform that they emptied - while isolating her from family by stressing secrecy and coaching her on how to respond to sceptical bank officials. "They knew the name of my financial adviser, they were utterly convincing as FCA staff," she said. "And they told me I could not tell anyone about the investigation as it would damage their efforts to catch the crooks."
Nah, design patterns are mostly communication tools.

When you name something "factory", when some doc mentions "dependency injection", when you import a "register", when you talk with a colleague about a "decodator", if you know the name, you already know what it does, and what the API will probably look like.

I say probably, because we don't have a format definition of all design patterns, nor are they all recognized as such. For for the ones that are and we do, we don't all agree. Not to mention you must adapt them to problems and languages.

So sure, when you code and you encounter a problem, you may use a design pattern. But you don't explicitly do so. Just like a chess master doesn't chose a move by thinking "I'm going to use x", they just decide on it, and also adapt it to the situation.

I never think about design patterns when I code, only when I name the code, I write the doc, and talk about it. When I communicate.

If you read a book about design patterns, they will make no sense to you. You will probably misuse them. But if you look at real life source codes from other devs, or yours again and again, you realize some problems come back often, and a lot of people use similar solutions. Then you look it up: bingo, it has a name.

That's how it works, not the other way around. It's formalization of real life, not theory to apply.
I have to disagree. Anytime my computer does something I disagree with, or tries to prevent me from being completely in command of it, that's a bug at best and malware at worst.
I think Django embraces the Python mentality of "batteries included" and Javascript frameworks follow the Node mentality of reusability and fragmentation. So in my mind it makes sense there's no Django for Javascript.

Also Django was created at a time when AJAX was at its infancy. Most apps needed to generate HTML and the server side had to include templates, routing, authentication, etc...

More modern applications rely a lot more on client side code for routing, and HTML generation and the backend is mostly an API for a non-relational database. Plus a lot of other services for random things like Auth, caching, etc... To the point a lot just opt to go serverless and connect directly to a Firebase for storage for instance.

Django doesn't feel so at home in those "newer style" apps. Most features go unused and the ones you want don't have great support and you have to rely on other tools such as django-rest-framework. If you want to use a NoSQL database, then the nice ORM goes out of the window and you usually lose the Admin interface.

So in other words I think a Javascript Django would have very low usage, because people just don't build apps like that anymore. People prefer light backends reliance on external services and more specialized data storage options. So they want something that is lighter, easier to deploy and scale.

The only reason I still would use Django today is the amazing Admin interface you get in exchange for using its ORM with a relational database.
It's not their stats that have protection, it's their likeness and names that require a license to use. Several games in the past have featured real rosters with fake names to get around this.
There are many popular Anti-Cafés in Paris. I used them for working many times. Here in Buenos Aires I normally go to Starbucks, where you can stay for hours and hours without a problem… but cafes in Paris are small and crowded (and waiters might not appreciate you staying a couple of hours), and most Starbucks and similar chains are absolutely packed with students (of course with minor exceptions in some areas). Anticafes are a more comfortable option, and a safer one if you want to go to the bathroom or fetch something to eat without having to pick all your things from the table.

I’m not the only one that has this opinion because the number of Anticafes in Paris was very quickly growing and they were normally full at peak times.
I've had a researcher describe to me how a lot of times they have to submit a grant proposal for what they're already doing, funded by a previous grant. If approved, it will actually be used for the next chunk of research...

(I don't recall why, exactly. Something about how there's a chicken and egg problem, where they wouldn't have enough results to support the grant proposal if they hadn't already been doing the research...)
Paul: A Heretic?
The best numbers I could find for the US were these:

https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/suicide

Which looks like 5 per 100000 for 10 to 14 year olds?

The Japanese population in this age range is ~5M:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Japan

So at the US rate we’d except ~250 suicides in Japan if the rate was the same as the US.

Over the 12 to 15 range in Japan the article states there were 103 suicides.

The rates seem roughly comparable therefore?

It terrible that this is increasing, but it would be interesting to understand if this is unique to Japan or not.
Even beyond attending school during Covid-19, which by itself has been disruptive and challenging, I've heard from a number of friends who emigrated from Japan that the Japanese school experience can be pretty dismal.

I also think some people are too quick to disregard the degree to which young people pick up on the quality of life and lifestyle of their parents and adults. The salaryman/woman lifestyle, the extremely long working hours, and the culture of extreme deference to work hierarchies, can be soul destroying, even for your children.
Trademark protects from confusion in the marketplace not all use. Pepsi can’t successfully sue CNN because someone being interviewed was drinking a soda.

That said, using the names would definitely get you sued but at 250m/year a court case could be worth it.
These are good for undergrad CompE or EE students for practicing before an exam, but irrelevant for industry hardware people.

You'll be asked to draw a low-side drive with a MOSFET and an inductive load, given a circuit to analyze and find bugs, etc. Asked basic stuff. Ohm's Law, Smith chart if RF. No trivia like this.
My father was scammed out of $1200 USD. He had a pop-up on his browser that said his computer was broken. It's the most cheesy scam on the web but this 80 year old man didn't know better. He thought he was getting a great deal - $1200 for lifetime support of his computer.

Anyway, he told us the same day and we immediately called his bank. It was under 24 hours and they shut down the payment. He didn't lose a penny.

So, yeah, I totally agree with you. The slowness of payments and chargebacks are a feature, not a bug. Same way that we have checkpoints before we deploy code to prod. Not having this assumes that everyone is making decisions in their best interest all the time. In reality, we do bone-headed things quite often and need a fair redo.
This is one of those things that everyone knows is true, but no one can acknowledge it openly. Without vested interest it is simply natural to put one's interest ahead of the company one works for.
In fact, doing extra, or normalizing extra can even make coworkers look bad.

I have also had that with HSBC -if you call the main online banking number they will put you through but it involves being shunted around on hold. The thing I found most annoying was the attitude of the HSBC representatives when I said (very politely) that I wanted to call back.
As good as they started over the past decades they made many shady business moves which eventually put them in the place of being the (de-facto) only CPU option around. Then they blew it all with Spectre.

It's not like I especially like AMD, but I'd love to support a little more competition in the x86 market. Eventually I'd love to see consumer grade ARM available for non-Apple devices. Their premiums and lockin just don't make it attractive to buy an M1 MBP to install Linux on it.
I mean, those must exist. The reason EA dominates the market is part network effect and name-recognition, but mostly that they've developed really good sports games, and even with all the aggravating nonsense piled on top, nobody has really challenged them on the second part.
and now EA is milking teenagers with builtin gambling mechanics. there's always a bigger fish and in this case I am happy to see that. Didn't FIFA also have an exclusive contract which prevented PES (Pro Evolution Soccer) from acquiring licenses for team names?
- "Sir, I'm calling you because I found your card, I called your bank, and they gave me your number. They told me you should report the card as lost in case it's been used fraudulently with the phone number that is written at the back of the card"

- "Can you send me back the card?"

- "I'm in a train, I won't be able to do that for a while. You should really call"

- "But I don't have the number"

- "I can read it to you"

Do they pull more from that than they would a pure subscription model? $10 a month and it continuously updates stats, adds new players, etc..
This just seems like a euphemistic way of saying that lockdowns made a lot of bad problems worse. When they were implemented there were plenty of voices warning at the time that they would cause children to suffer more abuse, depression, and suicide.
Slightly off topic: Sensible World of Soccer 96/97 and earlier ones had all real player names and those nice pixelated player pictures which quite accurately resembled players' real-life look.

Then (?) Sensible Soccer '98 came out and suddenly there were no real players names anymore, not sure about the pictures though.

Does anyone know if it was due to a copyright claim from FIFA?
This cert expiration semi-broke my home backup setup. (The backups work fine but the reporting broke, which is subtly more dangerous.)

Duplicati, which is a .NET app, doesn't seem to have the latest certificates when running on Fedora. The same software on Ubuntu works fine.
Well, the long answer ends with "junk bonds".
I keep thinking this ends with credibility ratings weighing reviewers. Similar to how Google uses the odds that you're a real human to drive their captchas, we'd see a credit rating applied to your email account and this is used across platforms to determine if you're an established normal human or a spambot or a troll and weigh your opinion accordingly.

It's dystopian but I don't see another route out of this growing crisis of credibility online.
It's US only currently, but they are looking at a global rollout (I'm patiently waiting in the UK).
Absolutely agree. Paging keys are essential. This laptop is huge, but keyboard is crippled. And small lapotps with good heyboards ARE TOTALLY POSSIBLE. Obvious ThinkPads aside, look up ASUS U6Sg, which was an IDEAL laptop in every aspect except power consumption (thanks, Intel!).
> Basically, the answer to all your problems is to use an evented parser instead of a deserializer.

FIFA wants a piece of the cake. A symptom of the game industry growing immensely during the last couple of years.

Another symptom is the Epic vs. Apple conflict. As the amounts of money made in the sector grow almost without bounds, so does the aggressiveness of the players.

Today‘s game industry is the 20th century‘s movie industry.
Good luck enforcing this with the lions' share of astroturfed Amazon reviews. I'd say that a significant fraction are based overseas.
And aren't we all? People praise us for our taste in furniture, clothes, music, cars, books, houses - all stuff we didn't actually create, just consumed.

I believe Bezos was a little more involved though.
My kids are Anglo-Chinese, they went to school there for literally a few days so I don't have personal experience, but a friend's son went to school in China until he was about 10 I think and is now in school here in the UK.

His son thinks school in the UK is ridiculously easy. His teachers think he's amazing because he always hands in work early, it's always very neat and well done, he started off well ahead of kids his own age in maths and the sciences that are in common with Chinese schooling. The work ethic he learned there is working very well for him.

Having said that, my friend particularly wanted his son to come here for secondary education. The system over there is excessively regimented and oppressive. Education here is much broader with more scope for creativity and extra-curricular activities. They're very different systems.

Yes, and only artwork, definitely not influence. The person responsible for anticorruption efforts, and rooting out any sophisticated, foreign disruptive agents’ access to the White House, by rejecting “abnormal” bids, is a New York art dealer named Georges Bergès. He seems reputable enough, right?

Hi, my opinion is that the CXXGraph library is more easy to use ( also Header-Only ), with a good standardization and interface. It can be extended in an easy way and its code is readable. Obviously the Boost-graph-library is more mature but I think CXXGraph library could be a great alternative

You ask the waiter for a Coke, they ask you if you want Pepsi instead (because they get kickbacks to sell Pepsi). Is that appropriate behavior for a restaurant?

How much is Google charging you for your searches? I get them for free. Sure, sometimes it's a pain to scroll down past the ad results when they're not relevant but it only costs me time and attention.
Haha! Funny. I love the comments, which respond to the comments responding to the comments.

This is my favorite so far: “Why have a website at all?”

Let me take that one more level, by suggesting any criticism of the _current state_ of the website is missing the time dimension—as in, What happens next week? Or next month? Or next year?

Even the most vehement critic may be inclined to revisit the site to see if it still sucks. Haha

Philosophically, this reminds me of a BBC short video I watched yesterday about entropy and the passage of time, The Second Law of Thermodynamics

Likeness presumably, but fantasy football doesn’t run into a problem with player names. So while companies would get sued over names it seems like they would also likely win.

That said, graphics are at a point where player likeness is meaningful as is team jerseys. So customers would presumably prefer the licensed product.
There is a way to catch fake IDs besides ML and MRZ parsing, but this would require govt to allow banks to use their ID database.
Usually the Wifi is better and not capped to a max time per day. Usually entry-exit to the venue is controlled, so you can leave your computer at the table while going to the toilet. Normally most people there are working… so even though there might be people talking around you there are no kids running or babies screaming. In the Paris anticafes you could also order delivery or bring your own food along to reheat in the microwave… godsend if you are working often from the place and don’t want to subsist on sandwiches or whatever limited options most cafes carry. There is also a networking component: bulletin board for freelancers, weekly social events (talks and board game nights), plus the fact that you’re most likely surrounded by IT and design professionals.
(design) patterns are an initial step in the process of automating the automation.

You, the automation engineer (programmer) notice you are using the same way of solving a thing and the code of the solution at all occurrences looks somewhat similar. Well, we are no longer writing in machine code and have subroutines and functions. So you go ahead and turn the pattern into a function of your language has them. Sometimes a function is not enough, but fortunately we have macros. At least some languages do. For the unfortunate ones with less powerful languages you have to keep it at the pattern stage and never evolve to reduce the boilerplate or automate your job away.

For this reason design patterns are often called the "missing language features". Which you can never understand until you have touched the powerful languages with metaprogramming capabilities.

Now, there are situations in which design patterns have to be used because they are applied at a cross section between systems. There is no single language encompassing your entire code, but many languages for many systems. Unless you go crazy with string templating (ie. inventing a new poor man's language), you will not be able to move beyond the pattern stage. On the other hand, a repeated instance of the problem between systems suggests there could exist a language that many people would use. The problem was repeated after all.

This usually gets resolved by a simple system integration engine, which is operated through some json, xml or yaml configuration file. Eventually there comes a need to introduce variables, file includes, loops, etc.

http://mikehadlow.blogspot.com/2012/05/configuration-complex...

People turn to become 'advanced yaml engineers', like now in the k8s world, for what perhaps could be managed by programming language.

After many frustrations, eventually a new special purpose language will be built for it.

Long lasting design patterns in the codebase are pointing at missing language features. Or at a new programming language at the horizon.

Pretty much every kid that has ever played FIFA knows and repeats the "EA sports - it's in the game" blurb so I'm pretty sure everyone is aware of EA.
It definitely is. FIFA knows they're missing out on money big time. EA just published this to create leverage from their customers.
I don't know what's misleading for you. Even if the stats of death was taken until today (october) it wouldn't make any difference.

Have a look at deaths chart: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/

In january daily deaths peaked at ~1800 and in looks like summer wave peaked at ~190 in september. Also in january daily detected infection peaked at ~67k then in july peaked at ~54k and currently is at around ~43k.

So even if detected daily number of cases was not much lower than in january comparing to june that's ~10x reduction of deaths. It's hard to argue that at least there is correlation that increased number of vaccines among population reduced deaths.

So even if vaccines maybe won't prevent you from catching the virus it reduces risk of death at least 10x fold. That's enough good benefit for me to get vaccinated.
Doesn't seem so to me. They just rarely put more than 3 USB ports and there doesn't seem to be any obvious correlation between the number and lack/presence of the SD port.

Part of the job of a Linux distribution is to provide policy, conventions, and similar consistency.

If you install everything from sources directly, or directly from upstream vendors, you may get inconsistencies, but if you install everything from your Linux distribution, you should get reasonable consistency, just as if you install everything from your BSD distribution.

A Letter to EUvsDisinfo Readers
This reminded me of experiences I wish I could forget for when I was bullied from 2nd grade to 8th. What made it worse was by puberty, I realized I was gay, which made me feel the bullying was justified because of how reprehensible my sexual orientation was.
While I don't believe this anymore, I do feel those experiences have left a deep scare that won't simply go away.
