It's not really supposed to be secure against fraud by card thieves. It's supposed to deter actual cardholders from falsely repudiating their own purchases. If you chargeback a pur…

> The guy who steals my mag stripe has to find a store without chip readers to make use of the stripe. Like 90% of stores in USA today? Oh the pain. And what is likely to happen af…

True, but the story is about glitches with Citigroup USA. pokstad is referring to Costco Citi cards in the USA. Some USA issues will allow you to SET a pin on chipcards (rarely by …

All chip + signature cards in the USA have a stripe too (excepting maybe a tiny fraction of retail cards). They have to, or something like 90% of POS will not accept them. Full rol…

I would agree it is completely stupid to remove and walk off with an ATM skimmer in a foreign country, all before calling the cops. There are so many ways that could end badly. The…

IAmNotA lawyer and this is not legal advice: 1. OP has closed this AMA and will not be replying. 2. OP specifically stated that he would answer questions only on immigration in gen…

How are the EMV chip + signature cards in USA being far, far more secure? User can just swipe and sign a stolen card same as always. Most retailers stll either incapable of using t…

Yeah, I know, right? I don't trust actual, qualified fund analysts to pick real investments for me, I stick largely to index funds. Yet a bunch of cryptoweenies have decided to poo…

Oh, nobody saw that coming. Completely unforeseeable. What other mature, ready-for-primetime autonomous altcoin networks can I dump my savings into for no apparent reason? Edit: "D…

> If you add CA certificates for the Wifi they probably (I'm not sure if you can tell it manually to not do that) are added to the system-wide trust store. Internet Properties -> C…

What does that have to do with wifi certificates?

It's "empowering" in that sense for anyone to get more money. It's "empowering women" to give them opportunities, including economic opportunities, which they don't already have or…

I get what the words say. What I am remarking on is that engaging in domestic, socially-acceptable and conventionally female work around the household for the economic benefit of o…

Of course it adds friction. It's supposed to add friction. They wrote the code, they're a going concern, if you're going to pay they want you to commit and pay, not "prove out the …

And their rule of thumb is that you aren't worth the sale. Bespoke software is not a bulk commodity. They have a free product. If you're going to be a cheapskate, use it. The notio…

Except I never made the claim that nominal mileage objectively indicates vehicle wear. All I'm claiming, is that mileage is the largest factor. It doesn't matter if your driving we…

I imagine they have sales guys. If you have a meaningful amount of money to spend they will talk to you. If not, don't use their LGPL code in a proprietary product. Qt is not an en…

I love it when commercial software developers complain about having to pay for software. How dare Qt demand that others pay them before developing a commercial product using their …

Yup. I'm surprised an advisor would sign off on this thesis.

About time.

I'm in the snowbelt and well aware of this. Mileage (at a given city/highway mix) is still the biggest factor presuming the car is getting some minimum duty cycle. I said "mostly,"…
