Yes! The DMA specifically permits app stores.
"unless they have branches on such countries or they hire an intermediary company to handle the taxes/health insurance stuff" is a big caveat - for any non-tiny company it's not a big deal to hire an intermediary company, such companies are readily available and the overhead is small compared to the salary differential; it's not a serious obstacle because you can simply buy a solution to that.

But that's not the case for time zones, of course.
Suspiciously absent from every streaming service over here. But at least Century of the Self has been uploaded to Youtube.
Totally agree.

>8 microseconds

Jesus christ. Nevermind what I said, then.

Hardware (HDL for cheap FPGA like iCE40) might be helpful.

A port to other microcontrollers should also be possible. Ideally you'd use a CH32V003 to assist in debugging/programming a second one.

But Linux is out of the question. That's way too tight even for linux-rt. Keeping scheduling latency in the two digit microseconds is hard enough, and about as good as it gets.

... it might still be possible with Linux, but only by dedicating a core to the purpose, and making it otherwise unavailable to Linux. I believe that's how PiStorm works.

In any event, how much effort any of these would involve is worth considering for determining whether or not it is worth doing, vs spending the time improving the rest of the project.
It being required by law does not guarantee that it's possible.

I'm pretty sure I cannot sideload on iOS, unless you count using a free developer account to load self-compiled applications whose certificates are only valid for a few days.
Do you really just use your bank's app to transfer money to anyone, though? Sure, here in Norway if I know their account number I can do that, but if I want to transfer money to a friend, I'm probably going to use Vipps because I only need to know their phone number. I consider Vipps to be a 3rd party app even though it's jointly owned by the major banks here.

Every country is unique, but the financial system in the US is, as far as I can tell, quite unique, in large part due to how large the country is both in physical size and population, combined with a governing system that decentralizes a lot of power (which means some changes are much harder to mandate vs what China can decide to do, for example). You have to understand some of these foundational differences, after which it makes much more sense why some things move much more slowly in the US.
I remember some tool or other used 128-bit RSA back in the day.
It is a bit like asking how do you beat Apple or Google. Companies at top of their game with all apparent competition far behind.

But history shows that all companies eventually get beaten; perhaps Google is going through such a period now. Often not because they lost at their core business but because a new technology appeared that eventually would eclipse existing approaches. (Ie Google search vs chat gpt)

What this looks like in terms of drones I don’t know.
I feel like this is a case of winning the battle but losing the war. Epic started a movement which has resulted in legislative changes all over the world.
Apologies, between and since.
The blue check should look an attractive purchase. So he's slapping it on anyone who is either popular or has good reputation, and then sells their reputation for $8/month. That's the plan at least. I'd say the cross-section of people stupid enough to fall for it, and desperate enough to care about their Twitter visibility turns out quite small.
We are at the point of diminishing returns now technology wise - displays are 4K pixel perfect, audio is better than any human can hear, disks are crazy fast, cpus and gpus are fast - so there's no longer the thrills of pushing boundaries.

Now it feels like we have gone into the "corporate" phase - choosing which framework to use, monetizing youtube videos, gaming social media, pushing latest shitcoin, etc.

Everything now seems to be about money and scamming vs the love of it.
Even better is this comment by another support team member:

> I'm chiming in to ensure you've got the answer you're looking for. Feel free to let us know if you have more questions about this.

Totally void of any helpful information or even remotely understanding of the issue. Of course at the time the comment was posted, no useful answer had been given by any support team member.

But to be fair though, the support team did follow up a few month later:

I’ve completely moved away from 1Password (here’s my list of alternatives: https://taoofmac.com/space/apps/1password)

Right now, the only thing I am missing is something that will sync with a KeePass vault and push TOTP tokens to my Apple Watch (as well as a couple of rarely used credit cards whose PIN codes I would like to have always available for emergencies).

Other than that, if you’re not an enterprise customer I think OS or browser-based password managers (which now sync across machines and platforms and even have the ability to do TOTP, at least on the Mac) are finally good enough for end users.

If you need to store software licenses, recovery codes, etc., KeePass XC is excellent for that as well, and available everywhere (and no, sorry, I don’t want to use Bitwarden because I don’t want to run a dedicated sync service for myself, or use anyone else’s).

Good for you, but with a battery life measured in hours, not days, unless you've got a life that's on such a routine that you charge it every day, it's going to run out of battery. I have a Series 4 watch and that thing spends most of its time at 0% battery level. It's not so useful when I'm just sitting at home, so I don't bother to charge it unless I'm planning on going out.
I am blind. I use Apple. Because Google slacks off with Android accessibility since they decided to play copy-cat with what Apple did. Even after 15 years of trying to catch up, the Android accessibility is still subpar compared to what iOS does.

You can argue that Apple users are just Apple users because of the logo and the coolness and the hype and whatever, but I can tell you that users like me have a real reason for staying with Apple: quality!
There is a video depicting the story of a search for a cubic equation solution and invention of complex numbers. Here it is described in a few sentences but really it was a novel, with secrets passed from dying masters to apprentices, duels (mathematical), broken oaths and suchlike.

I'm not sure what Google is trying to belatedly do with Authenticator at this point. But making it less of a support nightmare is a good thing. And I expect somebody (finally) got pragmatic about it maybe not being ideal that users get locked out of all their critical accounts every time they loose their phone. I bet that generates a lot of support overhead for them.

2FA setup in general is a PITA to support with users in the real world. I speak from experience. It's too complicated. Too many different steps involved. People get stuck doing it. People get locked out of their accounts. Etc.

Most people with a clue would not use Authenticator but one of the many alternatives that do the same job but with a bit more convenience (like syncing secrets between devices).

I tend to use Authy. And of course Okta actually acquired Auth0, which created Authy. But you could also use many common password managers for this (except of course the Google or Apple ones people actually default to on their phones).

Meanwhile, Google, MS, Apple, and others are also pushing hard for passkeys. That seems more promising. But what worries me is that they regard this as a browser thing. So that still leaves a lot of mess outside of browsers. As well as their legacy of other supposedly user friendly ways of signing in. At this point most of them de-emphasize 2FA actually. Because it is such a support nightmare.
Transport for London does the same. If you add your (real, CPAN) card number to the "Contactless and Oyster" web service, it will also add all of the DPANs you have tapped in with on their network as separate cards.

Probably 6-7 focused hours doing real stuff and 1-2 hours researching online and understanding the scope of my tasks.
I've never trusted any of these password storage services and only use KeePassXC. I remember having conversations with people years ago when these services were appearing and I told them that eventually these services would screw over their users. To my amazement people continue to believe that storing their most precious information(passwords) with a 3rd party. I truly don't understand.

It's just too much risk exposure for me. Why on God's green earth would anyone trust some random assholes with something as important as passwords? I just don't get it.

They're gonna screw you over. And they're gonna continue screwing you over because you continue to be their customer. Just recognise that and move on.
> Chip + PIN is basically the EMV standard for cards with chips on them

Worse than that, it's a marketing name :)

Or it was in the UK. Strictly speaking the cards contain a customer verification method list that gives the terminal the info about whether and in what priority order it should process PIN offline, online, signature or other methods. This method allows american cards to function elsewhere in the world, depending on the terminal risk profile, and euro cards which usually would require a PIN to function in PIN-less US terminals.

> There is very little difference in the process when using NFC, except that the power to the chip in the card is via the NFC field.

Sure, but in contactless EMV there is no user interaction part of the process, so 'offline PIN' is not a possibility. This is because the transaction process would have to halt while the user entered their PIN and continue afterwards. So I'm pretty sure that for contactless transactions there is no offline PIN CVM. The process is also going to be slightly different in that the card/phone doesn't stick around for any post-transaction issuer scripts, and IIRC from the short time I worked on a contactless product, there is only a single application-cryptogram generation phase compared to the two in a chip transaction, though I can't remember the significance of that now!

Or can I ... the second Gen AC phase is where the card signs off on the bank's authorisation of a transaction, if the transaction has gone online. Strictly your chip card can still decline a transaction even if the bank says it's OK. This is missing in contactless flow because, again, it would require the transaction to pause and take longer than a quick wave.
The defaults do suck but common storage options like SSDs or Elastic Block Storage still do sequential IO substantially faster than random.
>This is not a good comparison. You are right that the answer is "never". But the other side of the coin is that, as a Dutch full-time employee, you enjoy incredible stability, something which employers don't have.

Perhaps, but if only the employer-employee relationship only happened in the Netherlands [1], and not in 120+ other countries. Because in most places "incredible stability" is less than a pipe dream.

([1] And in relatively recent Netherlands, because historically workers there didn't have it as good, and with new neoliberal laws passed and prior rights eroded, workers increasingly they don't have it as good as more "socialist" decades past).
> Restaurants, donerbuden and the like which don't accept electronic payments or "ze terminal is broken" are literally all just committing tax fraud and don't want any paper trail documenting transactions for this reason.

The solution is that you pay any of your disposable income to the government to compensate for this.
This is what I use on the Mac (full disclosure: I know the developer on a personal basis, since we worked together in the past). Only shortcoming for me is the lack of Apple Watch support for a few key things like TOTP and keeping some credit card PINs always on me.
Sorry, I don't want to sound condescending. But it's just wrong, and it's a very common error so I thought I should try to do my little part to help correct it. The physicist Carlo Rovelli belabors this point extensively in his book "The Order of Time"... there is no universal "now".
Do you include time sitting in meetings that should have been an email?
Sorry for the long answer, but there are 2 different questions:

1. How does "Express Mode" work?

"Express Mode" is using the NFC "card" without any smarts from the phone, which is why it works when the phone itself doesn't have power. This is also why "transit cards" work in Express Mode because they are just NFC cards, but with a different "app" on the card that supports different processes than an EMV "credit/debit" card. EMV cards are probably the "dumbest" smart cards out there.

So effectively, it is exactly like using a physical NFC card. The NFC field powers the card. The "card" in the wallet only has the DPAN, the CPAN is not stored or used at all after the card is "enrolled".

2. Online enquiries with my "real" CPAN?

In terms of that online enquiry where you are typing the CPAN into the website, under PCI rules, they are not allowed to see the CPAN outside of PCI scope, which has strict rules on how that information is stored and used.

They usually use a "transit acquirer" to process their EMV transactions. What this acquirer does is that it processes the EMV taps under PCI rules, but also provides the transit provider with:
a) a "one way hash" of the card. This is unique to the CPAN, but unable to be reversed back to be the CPAN.
b) the transit information related to the tap (eg station of entry/exit etc)
c) the transit provider can store trip information against the one way hash.

So when you type in the full CPAN on the transit provider's website, that is securely (ie iframes and the like) sent to the acquirer, which sends back the one way hash. The same hash is used to identify the trips that the transit provider keeps info about.

So they aren't "seeing" the CPAN (at least if their PCI auditor is doing their job properly). What they "see" is the one way hash that they can use in their system.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this. The word "bummel" (a German word for "stroll") is described wonderfully in the last paragraph of the book, it is quoted here[1].

A modern day example of the above "overhauler" way (a theme familiar to HN): we see many variants of "Look! I've setup the perfect static website!" Then the person goes on to write a single, lonely post on "how to setup a perfect static site", and then ... go silent for 5 years, or forever. They've burnt too much energy in "configuring".

If you agree with that innovation, you also seem to agree with me that the spanish were in fact involved with slavery, as opposed to what the person I replied to said. Not sure where you saw me "pretend" about anything, I just presented facts and a wikipedia article.
i just decided that i enjoy working on bikes more than i do riding them and i decided that was fine. What i dislike the most is talking to people on reddit about it. if i need a new part that i dont know where to find google will lead me to the forum that will lead me t owhat i need. if i can't find it i can ask on reddit. but i do not want to sit around on forums talking about bikes. what a waste of time. and look at me, im sitting around in a forum talking about bikes. i'll see myself out.
I used to write a lot of PL/SQL and your assertion is simplistic at best, and misleading at worst.

First off it depends on what processing you are doing on what kinds of data sizes. If you are doing relatively simple things, sure. But remember that PL/SQL isn't particularly fast if you need to do anything more complicated. Don't do anything complicated (we'll get to that in point three).

Second, someone has to write that code. Writing PL/SQL is laborious because the tooling is bad. Pick any half-decent language today and the tooling is going to be fantastic. You have language servers, you have optimizing compilers, you have profilers, you have debuggers, you have lots of ways to instrument, inspect, and verify code. Where do you plan to recruit PL/SQL developers and how much are you going to pay them? Because in my experience: there really aren't that many usefully competent PL/SQL developers available on the market. There are lots of people willing to "give it a go", but competence is rare.

Third, it complicates your database. Instead of just doing relational math and executing queries it now also runs code that might not be as easy to model on the same cores, eating into your database IO and memory budget and causing lots of variability. Sure you can hound your PL/SQL developers to adopt various tricks in order to lower the variability of database performance, but that gets expensive. And the code gets ugly.

Fourth: It makes no sense to apply extra load to your most expensive component, which also happens to be the component class that most often also ends up being the bottleneck of your entire system. (Cloud provider pricing is a somewhat useful proxy for the cost of different systems. Have a look at the cost of RDS capacity compared to EC2)

Fifth: did you measure or did you assume? In the cases where you measured a clear gain, was it still worth the cost of all of the above? Did you measure the right thing? Could you argued your case with numbers?
Few tips I gathered along the years:

- Configure Vacuum and maintenance_work_mem regularly if your DB size increases, if you allocate too much or too often it can clog up your memory.

- If you plan on deleting more than a 10000 rows regularly, maybe you should look at partition, it's surprisingly very slow to delete that "much" data. And even more with foreign key.

- Index on Boolean is useless, it's an easy mistake that will take memory and space disk for nothing.

- Broad indices are easier to maintain but if you can have multiple smaller indices with WHERE condition it will be much faster

- You can speed up, by a huge margin, big string indices with md5/hash index (only relevant for exact match)

- Postgres as a queue is definitely working and scales pretty far

- Related: be sure to understand the difference between transaction vs explicit locking, a lot of people assume too much from transaction and it will eventually breaks in prod.
Out of curiosity, what sort of language would such a kernel be written in?

I don’t recognize the pattern you describe. For various reasons I’ve done a lot of travel over the last month or so - 2 “old money” European countries, a “new money” European country, a Middle Eastern country and Australia and I didn’t use cash or have to sign anything once in 5 or 6 weeks - I paid for everything with a contactless card. Unless something has dramatically changed in the last 2 years, my experience in the USA during my last trip there was that of a payments system that seemed stuck in the 1970s. In my experience, the global division would be between the USA and the rest of the world.
Thanks for the confirmation. The screenshot behavior is very weird indeed.
I am 35, I live on welfare and I never had a real job, only worked as a freelancer (never earned much, just a few thousands).
My portfolio used to be okay a few years ago, but I was never able to capitalize on it and my programming skills because I have an inferiority complex due to the fact I don't have a degree. Of course abusive family, etc didn't help and they brought financial problems.

If you met me you wouldn't be able to tell I'm this ruined because I can socialize without problems, I'm not addicted to substances and I'm generally well liked (people invite me to events, etc). I just had a string of bad coincidences and I got thrown out of society.

especially in Italy, I feel once you go off the tracks it's hard to get back in society.
Yes, the DPANs have to be tracked separately so that you use the same device/card to enter as you do to exit.

You shouldn't be able to see anything about the DPANs except the 6+4 information though and perhaps some detail of which device it is on.
