Someone big got hacked this way recently - the attacker managed to social-engineer a call forwarding change, then used a "landline 2FA auth call" to gain the foothold then needed. (I think it was Cloudflare?)

It's similar to @mat's problem - Amazon assumed the CC last 4 digits was "non identifying", Apple assumed they were.

How much effort do you suppose your phone company expends securing your voicemail or call forwarding? I'll bet it's less than would be considered "industry best practice" for securing your corporate dns records…

Don't forget the qualifier - "the company will take all profits from the game until the cost of hiring artists for the graphics is payed off".

So, what do they offer?

- Tutorials/community? Ubiquitous and free anyway, no value added.

- Analytics? Useless to everyone not doing highly targeted design (read: social games)

- Art? Well, as per the above, the devs pay for it anyway.

- Fit and finish? Now this is actually worth something. But all game devs should develop this skill anyway, and if you're a teenager learning game development, that's a good time to learn.

- Networking libraries? Could be useful.

The overall package might be worth something, but probably not worth having another finger in the revenue/IP pie. I say IP because, what happens if you publish game XYZ with them, independently iterate on the concept, and self-publish XYZ 2? Better to just own your work outright.
"The disconnect exposes flaws in data management policies endemic to the entire technology industry, and points to a looming nightmare as we enter the era of cloud computing and connected devices."

This disconnect is unfortunately not limited only to tech industry. Every receipt you get while you pay with your credit card offline, will display some part of your credit card number. The crazy thing is that there is no standard for it and everyone picks different numbers! If you collect your receipts and then throw them all at once without destroying them - anybody can put the numbers together.

I would say this is a much bigger problem and has been around here for ages!
Discover the “attached” man – Ben Coe

I'm a mild advocate of the "anti-CMS" paradigm.

Too often I see websites where it is obvious that certain design decisions were made in order to make things easier to handle in CMS of choice.

In my experience most clients don't really have a need to make sweeping changes to their website on their own and learning to use a CMS like wordpress or drupal correctly is a burden on them.

I find it is easier (and sometimes quicker) to create an "admin area" that is framed around metaphors the client already understands.

For example , if your client sells "tasty bagels" they probably want a page about their heritage and great grandpa's magic bagel recipe from 1890. This will probably never change, so it can be a static HTML file. This means that you can go nuts using precise HTML to get a really great visual layout for the page without worrying about the client butchering it in some horrible js WYSIWYG editor.

What they probably do want to edit/update frequently is information on their selection of bagels. Here you can simply create some basic forms with names like "add a tasty bagel" and some very specific fields (for example: suitable for vegans [x]). Writing this code is generally very straightforward if you have a decent ORM. I once turned around a complete website in under 4 hours using nothing but scaffold controllers, some stock art and an off the shelf template.

I generally find that using this approach , clients are a lot more engaged with their website and actually update it more than if you simply throw wordpress and a bunch of plugins at them. Since they will inevitably forget how to use it or break something and then call you up to make tiny changes.

I remember asking my bank about "travel checks" because I read online that this was the best way to pay when abroad.

They just looked at me like I was mad and said "nobody uses those any more. Just use your bank card and withdraw cash in ATMs as needed".

They literally told me that nobody (as in "no banks", locally) did checks anymore and that they could not be issued even if I wanted them. This was 10 years ago.

So yeah. US banking is stone age.

And at the same time the US is the world leader in electronic, financial trading with millisecond-trading (microsecond-trading?) being the norm among the big trading companies.

It really doesn't make much sense.
> If you asked anyone a hundred years ago if they thought they could have real-time communication with someone half way around they world, they would think you were crazy.

It's a different situation: before the radio was invented, people had no idea ho to communicate that far, but they no reason to believe it was not possible at all: it was just a matter of technology. Regarding talking in real time to Mars, already a century ago they had good reasons to consider it impossible: the scientific knowledge of the world is (and already was a century ago) incompatible with faster-than-light cause-effect relation.

One thing is not to know how to do something, another is knowing it to be impossible, short of stunning scientific discoveries.

But then the Viking landers had a full-up launch mass of 657 kg including full propellant tanks for the landing rockets.

Curiosity is 900kg just for the rover. If you added in landing rockets and their fuel as well it would be well over double the mass of a Viking lander, so the force of the landing rockets and therefore dust agitation would be commensurately greater.

Another advantage of a skycrane is that the rockets need to angled away from the payload anyway, and so the point where the plumes hit the surface is some distance from the payload, whereas rockets in the payload itself would hit the ground immediately below or to the side of it. Much closer.

Actually I'm surprised by the praise. This kind of elevator isn't uncommon here, both in towers and hotels. And it makes so much sense..
In both scenarios you probably want some kind of access restrictions, be it 'You work on floor 10 so that's where you can go" or "You can go to the cafeteria on the top or the floor of your room".

This system, the way I know it, solves both this problem and allows the elevator software to plan ahead.

Side note: Paternoster are quite cool. I prefer them to most 10-20 year old' real' elevators.

At work:Six elevators, two (?) panels per floor.
If you come near one of these panels it lights up and offers a touchscreen with all possible floors. By default the lobby and the parking deck.
If you swipe your access card in front of that panel, the selection is expanded to include the floors you're cleared for.
Select a floor and you'll be told which elevator door is going to open.

So: For leaving the building: One press. For your way up to work. Swipe, press.

Denmark had something similar with Visa as well. Apparently it works since I am now very likely to get a Visa-card next to my Mastercard for those just-in-case situations.

Hardly. Most tollbooth lanes in Europe only take plastic, self-service checkout lanes at supermarkets only take plastic. It is completely normal to pay for anything worth more than a few euros with a card.

Ok, so I am building yet another API.

This time I wanted to go through some types of authentication implementations to see which one would be simplest for our customers to implement, and which one would be more secure.

How do you let your API users authenticate?

* Creating "Apps" in your service?

* User based Private/Public key?

* Username/Password

* oAuth?

Other ideas?

The challenge is in finding a feature set that is useful, yet foolproof, and beats what Excel provides.

That story makes no sense. We don't have "visa branded" cash machines. They're all run by third party merchants and they universally support something called LINK which allows all the major card vendors to hook in.

Paying by credit card is incredibly common in the UK - very similar usage profile to the US.
> Paying with credit card is in itself rare in most of the world outside the US

I live in the UK: You're incorrect. I would say credit card payments make up the majority of transactions (exceptions: buses, market stalls, and Greggs).
This article is amazingly worth your time. Endorsement out of the way I have one quibble and some elaboration:

I don't exactly love conflating buyer's remorse with payment fraud, since buyer's remorse is a psychological phenomenon and happens independently of fraudulent intent. Then again that's a bit hairsplitting.

So, you're a digital goods business. What can you do to reduce the odds that a customer requests a transaction get reversed, given that the customer initially did authorize the transaction?

1) Do nothing. Treat this as a cost of doing business. This works astounding well for many client populations, which have naturally low refund rates. (I'll give you a refund for any reason whatsoever, and I give out substantially less than 2%. Not worth optimizing.)

But maybe you've made the decision to target poor customers, startups, infovores (they buy more books/videos/etc on X than they can consume or make effective use of, and have disproportionately high refund rates), or an audience demographically dissimilar to American housewives. OK, we still have options:

2) Add value to the one-time download by, e.g., providing a support channel gated on having an account in good standing. Note that this also lets you do fantastically lucrative things like e.g. the club model for digital goods (recurring payment for one-time downloads), which e.g. put WooThemes on the map.

3) For infovore-heavy niches, many people will suggest forcing delayed gratification on the customer. For example, let's say you have just sold someone 5 videos / ebooks / etc with expected consumption time of 2 hours each. Rather than hitting them with 10 hours of video all at once, you drip them out to the user at 2 hours per week for 5 weeks. This can be timed such that they don't get the final video until after your money-back guarantee expires. That's totally optional, though. The theory is that a) you avoid overwhelming people and b) getting in their inbox 5 times with announcements of even more value they got from you helps to prevent a common problem of "Oh, didn't actually have enough time to read/watch/act on that because I totally forgot to make that time, guess I should return it."

4) A lot of savvier folks in this space have customer communities where a) the interaction between customers adds value on top of the product, b) desire to maintain the interaction incentivizes people to not leave, and c) customers will (for their own reasons) do significant amounts of boring work for free, such that you don't have to add a not-so-lucrative "Infinite free support" sideline to a lucrative digital goods business.

5) Too late for you now, but for the benefit of everyone else, a great way to avoid getting emails by someone whining about getting a refund for the $8 they spent on your ebook is to never ever ever ever ever do business with people at the $8 price point. SearchHN [patio11 pathological customers] for more on this.
