I read that. Hence why I said at the moment. It'd be great for them to get it sooner rather than later. At least in the UK, most basic accounts issue Visa debit cards and a lot of the basic credit cards are also Visa.
He only copied it because he was planning to submit the code to the OpenJDK and writing his own would have led to unnecessary duplication of code. The copied code would no longer be needed when the new code was added to the same package.

Bashing it out cowboy style would have been faster and in no way harmed Android. It's Oracle's codebase he was spending time and energy improving with good engineering practice.
Why do people still work at Yahoo?
They support VISA in Sweden, so I guess they just lack an agreement with suitable banks and payment processors in the UK.

Not me. I would gladly trade off having to expand all my equations for having to type underscores a few times. In fact, this is very subjective - and one could argue having to sacrifice compactness of expressions is stupid.
Hgh Supplements
The HGH or the human growth hormone is one of the most important hormones in human body because it controls the growth in human body. It also is used for enhancing energy in the body or as an anti aging supplement because of its ability to slowing down the aging process. There are many different kinds of HGH supplements which help to increase the HGH release in human body.

What if the retailer does not accept chip and PIN?
Where the retailer has not upgraded to chip and PIN technology, you will be asked to
follow the current card payment process using your signature to confirm the
transaction.

You can also spend too much time optimising a relatively rare use case. Each of those steps require that you fill out a form and mail it off. The exception is registering for an NI number where you actually have to book and show up for an interview. That's it. You'll be prompted to do each when necessary, there's no benefit/penalty for doing each too early/too late.
I don't disagree with the path you see Facebook going down and how disruptive it might be to Google. However, we shouldn't disallow for the chance that there will be an alternate future where "every little thing you do" is owned by an individual instead of a corporation or multitude of corporations. A personal data store, that companies pay the individual to access, is not inconceivable. It's being created by researchers[1] and start-ups[2] and may be accelerated by privacy laws.

A couple of years ago when I worked with card security, the current status was that while there were proof-of-concept examples of EMV cloning, at the time there weren't any cases at all (worldwide, for any bank) of real fraud with cloned EMV chips - it would be too expensive, and it's far simpler for criminals to simply find places which just check the magstripe and not the chip.
Honestly, I tend to say that the website clearly shows a lot (!) of elements and interactions that are derived from Square. And it does not look like a co-existent happenstance.

Well, one of HN's aims is to avoid the eternal september that is very much affecting reddit at the moment. Given that, superfluous jabs at reddit might actually be effective in maintaining a barrier between the communities, or at least strongly remind people of the very specific conversational norms which apply here.

Although I started using HN a while ago, I would definitely count myself as someone who uses HN to get interesting stories after going through digg and then reddit (and I'm sure there are a lot of us here) but I'm strongly aware of the particular rules here and do find myself making more of an effort to converse in good faith / be less snarky.
Heads up, If you're an American going to Europe, regular swipe only credit cards won't work as often here. Nearly all point-of-sale credit card machines require chip & pin. Or you'll wind up like some tourists in my local supermarket unable to use their credit card.

Even signing with pen and paper is a baggage we're carrying with hardly any guarantee of identification, and has challenges like your signature being too simple or changing over time. This is utterly rubbish and should be made obsolete in the digital age, IMHO.

Facebook to increase IPO by 25%
Absolutely - what's not clear at all is where the liability lies. In the UK at least, and I assume the rest of Europe, if a retailer uses a PIN the liability for fraud rests with the card issuer.

But if the retailer lets the user sign instead the liability is with them: this is an incentive for retailers to accept and promote Chip/PIN over a signature.

iZettle read the chip (good), but then you sign for the goods (bad). It's not at all clear if that means liability for fraud now rests with the seller rather than the issuer. Their help page is very vague on the subject, and alludes to the fact card issuers won't allow PINs to be captured on mobile devices (this makes some sense, from a phishing perspective).

In fact, iZettle's help page has zero results when you search for 'fraud'. I think this is something they should address.

Coincidentally (shameless plug here), I blogged about this exact problem a month or so ago, bemoaning the lack of a good Chip & PIN solution. I'm not convinced iZettle is it...I've now written up some more concerns about fraud in a new post, here: http://cleveryou.net/post/23162180527/izettle-square-killer

PIN keypads have to be secure... totally secure. Passing through the iPhone isn't security.

For them to include a PIN entry system, they would need to do so on the chip reader device itself (non-iPhone).

The keypads for PIN entry systems always hash the PIN before it leaves the keypad... no other software gets the PIN.

If you cannot offer secure PIN entry, then you cannot offer PIN entry.

You can still take a signature, but now the burden of responsibility changes. Fraud is covered by the merchants if you use signatures.

> Deleting the lies later, while laudable, does not undo the real (intended?) damage to the reputation of the internet

Your problem is that people might start to mistrust things they read on the internet? That's surely the opposite of a problem.
Sure. Apple has done spectacularly well. It's a big jump from "not as good as Apple" to "worst CEO in America".
However successful this product becomes (which looks doubtful given its dependence upon signatures), its irritating generic web 2.0 startup name will prevent me from ever taking it seriously.
IIRC the rules on who carries the liability for fraudulent transactions differ between chip & pin and signature authenticated transactions. With a signature, all the liability is placed on the vendor for cardholder present transactions, whereas with chip & pin the liability is supposed to rest with the card issuer. The systems are set up so that if chip&pin transactions are not possible, they can fall back to signature authentication if the card settings permit it (and they all do, because to do otherwise would be a massive customer service failure).

So, if you're going to use this system, you will have to take the liability issues into account.

(The cynic within me suggests that even in the case where a fraudulent chip & pin transaction has occurred, merchant agreements probably do their utmost to shift liability to the vendor regardless though.)
Theoretically, adding the following to your browser's user stylesheet should defeat this:

a { pointer-events: auto !important; }

The !important keyword adds weight to the rule, which trumps origin, specificity and sort-order in the CSS cascade.

A quick test in Safari/Mac confirms that works for this particular case.

'First Look' of the HTC Desire C [video]
There are two problems with it:

First you have to create the possibility for the people to download your podcast as a torrent. This sounds easy but is additional work. A new project that wants to tackle this is http://bitlove.org/ where podcasters just have to add their regular feed and the site will create a bittorrent feed and seed the torrents (extensive German descrpition: http://metaebene.me/2012/05/06/bitlove/)

The other problem is that users need to be able to easily download the torrent feeds. Some bittorrent clients support feeds, but right now only one podcast client understands bittorrent: http://http://www.getmiro.com/
> The ideal solution IMO would be something like Progressive JPEG (with less artifacts): you serve a single high-quality image, and the browser downloads as much of it as it sees fit for the situation. Smaller images would be created from a large, lower quality download.

I thought about that as a solution as well. The issue though is that taking the half resolution portion of a progressive JPEG or PNG will result in significant aliasing.

Sorry, but I don't see things playing out in this way.

"It means it has access to all of the things your friends are doing right now and ever. And it also means it has access to all physical and virtual entities connected to you. The music you've played, the photos you've viewed, the videos you've watched, tracking all these things are possible today."

In terms of friends' activities, Facebook only has access to what people voluntarily post to it. And in my experience, only a small percentage of my "Facebook friends" actually post regularly about their activities. Moreover, that number seems to be going down, as though my friends have been using Facebook less as the years go by. Whether that's just because these people are getting older, or whether Facebook usage really is decreasing across all users, I don't know.

Sure, Facebook can see and analyze which Facebook photos you've looked at, but why is this particularly interesting? It's just a bunch of people dancing at bars, or maybe a few family vacation shots, at least in my experience. For videos, most videos people watch are on Youtube, not Facebook. So +1 for Google in that case (although I also don't see how this fits into the master plan you are describing). And for music, well, Facebook doesn't see what music I listen to. I don't list it in my profile, nor do I use Spotify or another Facebook-connected music program. I suspect most others are the same, as I don't see much music related stuff in my news feed. I don't see this changing in the future (and I even suspect that Spotify has come to view mandatory Facebook authentication as a mistake).

"...they will be more integrated into the fabric of our lives than any other business I can imagine. More than banking, more than the utility companies, more than any retailers wet dream."

This is ridiculous. Even if a majority of businesses were to use Facebook to authenticate and track users, they are under no obligation to send this data back to Facebook (and, through Facebook, to other companies--possibly competitors--also connected to Facebook). The best Facebook could hope to do is impose a fee for using their authentication, and since they aren't doing this now I doubt they would ever.

Businesses just won't accede to sharing their information back to Facebook to the extent you think they will. They have no reason to, and plenty of reasons not to. The only things they will share are items users have specifically authorized them to post into their feeds[1], and based on my Facebook experience, those things are relatively few and far between (almost all of my feed is just status updates expressing an opinion or thought, or picture uploads).

[1] with the possible exception of spammy "social" games, which seem to find ways to post things even if players didn't really want them to -- but such spammy updates will only further drive people away from Facebook in the long run

Either that or I'm seeing a different one.
Ask HN: As a programmer/developer/engineer, what title do you prefer?
What title do you prefer to have due to personal bias or perceived prestige? I know most developers have opinions on this but I've never seen it gauged community wide. I really would like to know: what do hackers prefer to be called in the real world in the form of a title?

- Do you prefer something with the word "engineer" in it, such as Software Engineer?
- Do you prefer something with the word "programmer" in it, such as Solutions Programmer?
- Do you prefer something with the word "developer" in it, such as Web Developer?

Do you think all these words pretty much mean the same thing or are they very different to you? I feel like a "Developer" is not very prestigious and the way I've heard it being used in the real world makes me feel as though it undermines and undervalues what I do day in and day out. So I have always preferred "Engineer" over "Programmer" over "Developer" because I feel as though they are all essentially they same thing but I rank them on how good they sound.

I don't know, am I vain? What are your thoughts, I really want to know.
In contrast to Finland, where each of the cases above require me turning up in person. Had I just needed to mail off a form, it wouldn't be so much an issue.
IPhone Application Development—An Essential Step Towards Success
iPhone becomes the must have device for all age groups. It has lots of benefits using in the business. Peerbits can device iPhone application development for your benefits.
AFAIK, it's still there. And they placed this "feature" without notice, so people woke up with a list os his/hers last visitors. It's very awkward .
Whilst many places often refuse to swipe any more (which I suppose is their prerogative) it does actually work. If the chip/pin reader has the swipe slot at the top then it will work.

Tesco don't have the swipe slot, and they now train till staff to say they can't swipe cards. But it does work on the till itself (I know this because when a friend visited we made the poor till attendant try it :)).

EDIT: also, interestingly, it looks like this service only uses the chip feature, not the pin :)
This will be perfect for my dad's art gallery. Fewer and fewer people bring cash a long so he loses out on sales that way. It's a very small art gallery and conventional payment terminals are too expensive to buy/hire.

This is nonsense (at least in the UK and France). Yes there is preference for chip & pin but every reader I've seen supports swipe & sign still. Chips break, contacts corrode. It's there as a backup.

(And yes, this totally defeats the security aspect of C&P)
Does anyone know whether this is only Visa payments or does it support maestro/laser cards also?
Yes very true, and you could easily hack once of the physical readers they use now. Almost every shop I go into seems to have a different make or model of card reader.

I guess with Android there is more change of the device owner not knownig it's there, it's much easier to say phish someone into installing malware onto an Android device than it is to jailbrake their iOS phone.

I wouldn't like to be in the shoes of fraud departments right now...
A good example of this is the Apple Stores in Europe: like in the US, staff use iPods to take orders and checkout. The difference is when it comes to payment: instead of swiping the credit card and signing on the iPod screen, transaction details are wirelessly sent to one of many Chip & PIN readers around the store, and you then complete your purchase there.
I always thought it was the bavarian/austrian/swiss diminutive for Zettel. Didn't make much sense to me either, except maybe because an old fashioned receipt is a small "Zettel"?
For transactions in the UK the merchant can also take a signature for low value transactions on a chip and pin card. There is more risk with this though.

I have one reader connected to my ipad. Got it for free so I had to try it. I have accepted only one payment so far so not much experience about it, but some comments:

For private individuals a facebook account is needed to accept payments.

The legal agreement is a mess, they even warn that your data can be transferred to countries where privacy laws are not in par with european standards and data is stored for 7 years

Location of the transaction is stored and cannot be turned off, it's unclear why this is needed.

They seem to comply with PCI data security standards but are not audited (yet?)

The customer must sign the transaction on the ipad screen with finger (even harder with iphone). it's very hard to check that to the signature on the back of the card. also the customer must type his/her email on the screen if they want a receipt (there is no receipt printer). So each transaction takes a long time.

So it's good for selling at fleamarkets and such but for serious business it's no match for a payment terminal. Also if you don't already own iphone/ipad then it's also more expensive.
There was an option to turn it off, at least it was there 4 years ago. You could make your visits invisible - but you were then unable to see who visited your profile. Seems fair to me.
NoScript catches them both. It needs to be recognized as much more than just a JavaScript-blocker.

>A new non-linux, non-unix based operating system with a 3D HMD and VR glove interface.. like a "deck" from a cyberpunk novel/movie.. Maybe write the whole OS in CoffeeScript or something (slightly modified to allow for types or pointers to be inserted where necessary) . Find the specs and linux code for interfacing with SATA and ATI/Nvidia and start with that. I want to boot up to a wizard's tower or whatever 3D scene I specify, rather than a flat desktop.

I'm curious as to why it has to be "non-linux, non-unix". Going with that would leave you rewriting large portions of code for little gain.

If you're concerned about licensing, then BSD would be a good start. However, even using Linux, you'd only really have to release the hardware drivers. You can build your own GUI on top of Linux and not be bound by the GPL.
Well, yes, "people who are good programmers". The point here is though that the others should get an idea about this. There will always be people who don;t understand the easiest of procedures, but I am sure a large number of people would understand automation if the idea was given to them (at an early age).
Probably would they then think about it when the need arrises, and maybe come up with some creative solutions. If we just leave it to the natural good programmers, the solutions may be better, but the number will be lower.
