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 purchase as unauthorized, the retailer should be able

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 default), but they are not REQUIRED at the POS by any retail

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 rollout is going to take years. As long as there is a stripe an

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. There's nothing informative or educational that couldn&#x2

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 them or very forgiving as to signatures. Card can be duplicat

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 to which there are barri

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 concept" for free. Qt will give you

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 notion of charging by byte, as if software were content

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 wears out a car in 300,000 miles and my driving

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 end-user, boxed product. This may shock you, but B2B soft

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 code?

Not only do taxes pass through to renters, very often they are substantially higher. In New York, for instance, there is a substantial school tax credit for homeowners not available to rental properties. In addition, some cities have a home

This is a bad analogy missing the point that ZeroFries was making. A car's lifespan is mostly determined by mileage. When a car is not being driven its condition and value is largely unchanged. It is not analogous to a vacant house. If

I can't from this whether you are asking an honest question or if you can't google "define:serviceable", or can't google "corn whiskey" and see the first result in either case.

Eh. Price will go up to match demand, the market will clear. Meanwhile, turnaround time on a serviceable corn whiskey is less than thirty days from cob to bottle. No one is going to die for lack of drink. Whole story is a bunch of hype.
