I think you can't ever be sure of that. The data exchange usually is like this

1) Customer browser on seller site: the customer clicks on Pay

2) Seller server to payment gateway (hopefully over an encrypted channel): I'm S (important) and somebody is about the come to you to buy Y with order number Z. In case of success please redirect to U1, in case of failure redirect to U2.

3) Payment gateway to seller server: ok, thanks, my transaction code for this is T

4) Seller server to browser: redirect to the payment gateway (the browser has been waiting since step 1) for order Z (you don't mind if somebody pays for you)

5) Customer on payment gateway (https): check that S and Y are what is expected (this is fundamental), type in credit card data, click Pay.

6) Payment gateway to seller server (on a safe channel): transaction T has been paid for.

7) Payment gateway to customer browser: redirect to U1

8) Customer browser on seller server: page U1 says thank you for paying, goods are being delivered.

What makes you sure that the payment gateway is not a rogue one and will pay your seller? It's that you can see the order's data in step 5. However you can't be sure that the seller site has not been MITMed and you've been redirected to the wrong payment gateway. The only safeguard for that is the authentication and encryption in step 2, but that's not under your control. Https between the customer and the seller site doesn't make the transaction any safer.

On the other side, what makes the seller site safe against scammy customers is step 6, but I saw some eshops relying only on the information sent in step 7, which in some cases could be forged by the client.
Any idea of how he did get caught? I've searched around briefly but haven't found anything.

I assume many drug users transitioned from patronizing violent street dealers, to non-violent silk road dealers. In the long run, the violent street dealers would lose their customer base and go out of business. Seems like a good thing to me.

Yup way too many mentions of "free, without limits", considering:

€10 per year but they say "no expiry".

€.25 per photo (sent or received, I think)

€.50 per video

That's just for Zone 1. More than triple those prices if you're in Australia or any Zone 2 country.. and more than 6 times those prices if you're in Canada or any Zone 3 country.
It also sucks to explain to your CEO why it's taken so long to develop multiple versions of the apps. Theres tradeoffs for everything..

I've dealt with a small amount of MVNO negotiations and this company has put many red flags up in my mind.

It may be obvious to someone else, but I'd like to know how they detect a photo or video being sent, rather than text? WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted, so they can't be proxying the data to the servers. Are they just guessing from the total data transfer seen from the subscriber?

There's a lot of unanswered questions. The CEO appears to have a fairly poor track record of running this kind of freemium global-SIM project, too, having done some digging. I'll watch with interest.

Where do you obtain the raw product from? This dealer was buying $6000 bricks of heroin, so the only people being cut out were the middlemen just above the street dealers.

The cartels are absolutely still the people being funded by this activity. Or in the case of heroin organisations like the Taliban.

There is a substantial difference between growing a bit of weed to sell and the industrial scale production required to sell the amounts of narcotics that SR is talking about. Cartels still violently control the means of production and entry into the United States, increasing demand for their products increases their profit and motive for violence.

"The cure for poverty has a name, in fact: it's called the empowerment of women. If you give women some control over the rate at which they reproduce, if you give them some say, take them off the animal cycle of reproduction to which nature and some doctrine - religious doctrine condemns them, and then if you'll throw in a handful of seeds perhaps and some credit, the floor of everything in that village, not just poverty, but education, health, and optimism will increase. It doesn't matter; try it in Bangladesh, try it in Bolivia, it works - works all the time. Name me one religion that stands for that, or ever has. Wherever you look in the world and you try to remove the shackles of ignorance and disease stupidity from women, it is invariably the clericy that stands in the way." — Christopher Hitchens

> By late 2012, he was buying painkillers from the Silk Road, which he says he heard about from news media

This is an interesting part for me. "Exposing" it, actually brought more customers.
What are the limits of mathematical explanation?
There are a few interesting takeaways:
- Pain perscriptions as a gateway to more hardcore drug use that destroys life, it doesn't sound like this individual had any "liberty" to make choices once he had become hooked on painkillers

- Heroin addictions are incredibly expensive in monetary terms, at $3,500 a week the price reduction would have to be huge before any legal drug wouldn't continue to create acquisitive crime to fund it

- Heroin addictions are incredibly expensive in terms of destroyed careers and relationships. Sure some users function normally, but you cannot know whether you're going to succumb or not before embarking - and that is the problem.
Can I use other applications besides WhatsApp?
No, WhatSim works only with WhatsApp.

If this is the trend, then those quad-sim crappy phones I got from China will finally be useful! One for WhatsApp, one for netflix, one for phone, one for internet.

Honestly I don't know who will ever use this..

Also, when I first read the title, I thought: cool, they implemented the WhatsApp protocol on a sim card, so feature phones can chat on WhatsApp! How disappointed I am.

Holy shit, I admire that guy so much. Being able to program whilst lacking sight astounds me. I wonder how he got into it.

Becoming blind is one of my biggest fears and I consider programming to be one of my favourite activities on the planet, I'm happy that if the worst were to ever happen to me, I wouldn't be completely screwed. However I gotta wonder how well he's able to hold all his code in his head just off hearing it, whenever I program I often go back and read and re-read parts I've already written, I imagine having to hear it over just glancing over it would slow the whole process down a lot. I know he mentioned that he's gotten very good at mentally conceptualising his code which no doubt takes a lot of training but damn, a really large codebase would throw me for a tizz.

She could get a 3 SIM if she's from the UK? "Feel at home" countries have the same freedom as being in the UK, so the £15 PAYG SIM (which you can stop using after a month) gives you 25GB data, unlimited texts and a large number of calls, even if you're in various countries in Europe, and even better, America. I will be looking to use one when I visit America later in the year.

With just €10 you can chat for free and without limits anywhere in the world for a year. And you can do it for always for just €10 a year. WhatSim has neither fixed costs nor monthly payments and it never expires.

To be able to send photos, videos, and voice messages and to share your location and contacts, all you need to do is buy a recharge. With a €5 recharge you receive 1,000 credits that allow you to exchange 50 photos, 10 videos or 200 voice messages in most countries. Plus sharing your position and contacts is unlimited.

Wow, so many contradictions!

There are no monthly payments, but it's €10/year.

It never expires, but you have to renew it every year.

You can chat for free and without limits, but multimedia messages cost extra.

To share our contacts and location you must buy a "recharge", but sharing your position and contacts is unlimited.

I don't trust this service one bit, I suspect it will be full of sneaky charges and misleading smallprint.
They aren't even weasel words. It's just outright lies.

<block>WhatSim is the stroke of genius of Manuel Zanella, founder and CEO of Zeromobile. In 2003, after his honeymoon in Kenya where he spent a fortune in phone calls, Manuel Zanella had the idea of creating a SIM card to reduce the cost of international roaming. In 2007 he created Zeromobile, the mobile company for low cost roaming that allows you to save up to 85% on the cost of incoming and outgoing calls, text messages and mobile Internet. And you can receive free in over 140 countries. Now with this new idea, WhatSim, he has created a revolutionary SIM card to chat for free with WhatsApp, the world's most popular messaging system.</block>

It may be "something wrong" for you, but for me it's exactly what I need to let my mother video chat with her grandson after Skype became useless (breaks more often with every passing release, it seems; we've given up on it).

Sharing links, accounts, chat, logging and persistence are all irrelevant for my use, and they in any case don't belong in webrtc - webrtc is a component for people to use to build services like what you appear to want.

I would prefer to send them written notice about resignation rather than a call where they try and talk you out of it. I do the same with credit cards because you always get put through to the "please stay with us, keep your card, just don't use it" people who I don't wish to argue with.
I don't agree. There's a lot wrong with the marketing copy of the website but I think that statement is quite clear.

For most countries where SIMs are commonly in use (i.e. not the US where CDMA is still a thing and not all consumers are comfortable with GSM), people generally understand that to change SIM you need an unlocked phone. I think the question is intended to answer whether you need a phone on a specific GSM or UMTS band, which you don't.

It's a risk, but you can fix it on the backend, away from the end-user. If they were bitcoins then sure you need interaction for NFC. But credit cards are a closed system on the merchant side, any new identity pulling only NFC traffic would be very suspicious. NFC would always be an expected proportion of overall captures. So it's simple to defend against this attack without killing the feature.

I understand what this is but I'm having a hard time understanding how it works.

I understand that it is a sim that permits data-only connectivity for a large number of networks around the world. What I'm having difficulty with is understanding how the sim limits the user to using only whatsapp. Does the sim analyse network traffic content or endpoint to block non-whatsapp data? Is the whatsapp software supplied on the sim as an STK application that has sole access to the data channel? Something else?

What am I missing?

Cool. I've always thought that the native view layer is better viewed analagously to how web developers tend to view the DOM: a low(ish)-level API upon which to build abstractions that better fit the domain.

Hopefully, we will come to view manual NSView slugging in the same way that we'd now view building a single page webapp entirely with jQuery.

I'd like to know: what is the most comfortable posture for coding once you no longer have to look at a screen? I've wondered whether a syntax-sparse language like iolanguage might allow you to code entirely by voice and ear, with no need for keyboard. For those of us with vision, imagine having a lounge with a large screen on the wall. You can talk into your headset as you pace around, or lie on the couch.
This is exactly the sort of thing it is fantastic at. Being able to email or SMS people link and have it Just Work without passwords or accounts or port forwarding is actually really nifty, and exactly what you need to start a chat with grandma.

I believe such a "passive repeater" would not be illegal in any sane jurisdiction, since it's nothing more than metal bent in a few specific shapes connected by a cable.
Interesting, I never realized that the Taliban reversed its position on heroin and now supports its production. Thank God we invaded.

Anyway, this [0] Quora answer, specifically pointing out the New York/New Jersey market, states that most heroin in the US comes from South America. I suspect that the CIA played a big part in creating these cartels in the first place, and if it reverted to individual buyers getting their supply directly from the producers via the Silk Road or another bitcoin/Tor market, the cartels wouldn't need to exist at all.

That's a good point. The net is great for shoving data backwards and forwards but for the web it doesn't necessarily mean that the browser should be expected to do EVERYTHING.

There used to be a time when most of the posts here on HN were "something native IMPLEMENTED IN JavaScript in a BROWSER" but thankfully those times have passed to the most part.

The Internet was heralded as solving cross-platform problems (hurray for XML?) but it seems that writing a native app actually involves less testing. You now have to test in 3 or 4 browsers per platform, not including mobile devices and changes between different versions. The relentless shoving of features into browsers is no different to what they've been doing for years but I can see why people would not enjoy it, particularly with the repeat of "only works in IE" that you see ("only works in Chrome").
I am not sure giving the browser permission to poll your entire screen via an API is a good idea - think of the possible abuses.
I think that falls under the first category of "educate the would-be aggressors", does it not?

no, it doesn't compare to DOM, it compares to the last result of render - an important difference performance-wise. the DOM is many times slower to query than plain objects.

also remember big-O notation doesn't really capture the essence of the problem here. looping through and querying N DOM elements is probably orders of magnitude slower than doing the same with N objects in memory
