the upshot being only enable nfc on credit cards and then never worry about it because fraud protection exists

They would literally have to hold the nfc terminal directly against your pocket or wherever you keep your card in order for it to have any chance of scanning correctly. Larger amounts require authorisation and they'd need to keep it connected to their merchant account. I think it would be the dumbest possible crime but I'd love to give it a shot for a "prank" sketch because I bet it would be hilarious trying to scan peoples wallets like that.

hey The Management, in your experience, would you consider your boss at Apple identifying you, in the midst of a exit interview, as the “canary in the coal mine” to be a good sign or a bad sign? asking for a friend...

I think it’s an ambiguous analogy, and good for whom? without more context the way I would interpret it is: good people are the first to leave when things are hosed. if your departure has significantly skewed the team balance over to the bozo side of the spectrum, your manager is taking that as a hint that that things are hosed in your group. so, probably good for you, not very good to your survivors.

That and (good) banks have a different card number for the NFC which isn't the same on the card and only allows nfc emv transactions, so stealing it isn't very useful.

(a 603 with barely enough cache for the 68K emulator…) Internet? no money in it. (because eWorld was making so much…) upgradability to a computer? it’ll cannibalize the low end! (because Mac was doing so well there…) etc. one of the best things SJ did was to burn a huge swath through the middle, anti-useful layers of the org chart

people are poo poo at estimating the total angular distance they've turned, especially if they're paying close attention to other cars like you have to in a roundabout. counting exits is absolutely the right thing to do even in a simple two-way intersection, assuming there isn't something even better like clearly labelled unique signage for each exit

apple pay is loving amazing for paying in the back of a cab, in which one cannot actually see the terminal yeah that's kind of a niche need but it's like 20+ million people on the east coast, who, you know, have much of the spending power in america. if apple pay is a niche product that is extremely useful to a small number of wealthy people, it is probably a success from an apple POV

I cringed hard the other day at a local bar that has good food that normally does cash business and has lovely digital infrastructure bc the person in front of me was hawking Samsung payments to the bartender and talking up rewards programs and offered her his code which gave $5 credit and she had to feign interest so hard and his transaction took several minutes and he didn't tip

Sorry for your subpar intellect that cannot process this information. yeah saying 'left at the roundabout' would only make sense 100% of the time if you literally never went through a roundabout with more than 4 exits. also when you're on a roundabout you're not thinking 'oh i'm turning right', you're thinking about what exit you're going to go through Generic Monk fucked around with this message at 09:17 on Mar 25, 2018 |

echinopsis posted:"go straight thru at the round about" In Scotland there are a lot of simple roundabouts with only 2-3 exits and the lack of "straight ahead" is confusing as that is the nomenclature you use when learning to drive. Counting the exits is not intuitive and easy to mess up on larger roundabouts when you are thinking about something else like simply avoiding other mental drivers or the awesome gearbox of a '76 VW campervan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk42cp0EopE I've noted a new feature on Apple Maps which is kind of interesting, when you are moving slow it is taken to not always rotating the map in the drivers direction to avoid being distracting with a lot of turns. However they also attempt to be smart with the voice announcement, if a new junction is appearing they will cut into the previous announcement with the new one. It's very artificial but least an improvement over Googles. MrMoo fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Mar 25, 2018 |
