Anyone want to team up to start up an organic tire manufacturer with all natural rubber tires?

There’s additional tools for e-commerce transactions like 3DSecure (step up authentication like an OTP) and passive identity verification tools.

The US uses chip and signature, no joke, because the banks didn’t think people could remember another PIN.

This is an EMVCo chip card, and not an American one so it’s chip and pin most likely. Without getting too detailed, the chip generates a one time use code for each transaction, so just having the number wouldn’t help with cloning the card plus you also would need to know the PIN. Although skimmers still exist and physical card theft is a thing, it’s less common especially in markets that use chip and pin.

The m4 ultra is going to really make a case for Apple gaming without compromise, you know, except for the actual games :(

This has been one of the better F1 seasons in recent memory, and also really drives home that the constructors championship is a true team sport. Without a good second driver (cough: Perez) there’s only so much a single great driver can do.

Might be coincidence but really seems like Gunter Steiner was holding the team back.

The verge does this thing where they republish the same article with different headlines over and over which results in this. They also do these “preview” articles before the actual reviews I’m assuming to “maximize engagement.”

Banks charge higher fees for credit transactions to fuel the loyalty programs (flyer miles, cash back, etc) on those cards. This is why you no longer get any loyalty benefits on debit cards but you still do on credit. The fees don’t cover the risk on credit cards , the interest does.

From the federal reserve directly : https://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/boardmeetings/frn-reg-ii-20231025.pdf Also, I guess what I meant is, the cap used to be 45 cents, and when it was reduced to 21 cents, there wasn’t some massive reduction in prices of products for consumers. Merchants just pocket that difference.
