PINs are safer, and less fraud is better. At the end of the day, shifting blame and liability is not going to change anything. However, using security factors like secrets or updating the withdrawal limit is possibly inconvenient, that&#x27

The customer still pays for fraud, one way or the other. So why not aim to prevent fraud in the first place by using a simple and effective second factor to mere possession of the card?

In this case it doesn't matter, because there's a car in front anyway. I don't know how much the system can ignore or mislabel people and still drive safely, but right now it's not really safe and it's not necessary

The UK government has a democratic mandate to track infections, including by tracking visitors to areas of risk. The correct way to do this, and how most other governments do it is to provide two Apps. One for trivial QR/location based

This is not surprising for a ex-government agency that is still substantially government owned. Somewhat anti-competitive, expensive, and they clearly have no sense of urgency with regard to fibre. But more than half their revenue is now fr

There is some self-similarity going on (Mandelbrot discusses scales from 1000 km to 10 km) but rocks or coastal sections with the fractal dimension of Great Britain on a scale of 1m or 10m are a rare exception. I'm not an expert, but I

In 2012, the same Mac mini case held a cooling system for a 45W chip, 2x2.5" storage bays (or one storage bay and a DVD-Drive), 2 RAM slots, and had three more ports and a card reader. They really used every last corner. The new one is
