It isn’t something everyone at Walmart cares about, but I’d argue not supporting Apple Pay—at any retailer—excludes disabled people from accessible payment methods.

It’s a service blah blah blah, but “can’t innovate, my ass” absolutely applies to the Apple Pay UX.

I sometimes dream of an alternate universe where a few key elections, FTC/FCC decisions, and court cases went different ways and we now live in a utopia where things like NFC payment protocols are regulated utilities and every vendor is required to support them.

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

Hang on to your seats, because this one's a wild ride. Literally.

Lamborghini Carjackers Lured by $243M Cyberheist

The parents of a 19-year-old Connecticut honors student accused of taking part in a $243 million cryptocurrency heist in August were carjacked a week later — while out house-hunting in a brand new Lamborghini. Prosecutors say the couple was beaten and briefly kidnapped by six young men who traveled from Florida as part of a botched plan to hold the parents for ransom.

I'm writing a blog post on building a portfolio of #Python projects, and I'd love to hear more perspectives on how to progress from courses to proper projects. I see lots of books/videos that have projects, but almost none of them model practices like:

- Modularity
- Version & dependency management
- Documentation
- Logging
- Testing

How do newbies make this leap? I'm sure there many ways, but there isn't an an obvious one that I know of.

Boosts appreciated! 🙏

I went through my sticker box and picked out the hexagonal NGI ones. These are some of the projects that risk reduced to no funding when EU decides to put tax money into AI projects instead.

The classic liberal fallacy is the belief that what the low-information voter needs is more information.

#Cycling #BikeTO #Photography #BikeTooter #BikeStreak #Autumn

Photo of a red BMC roadmachine road bike standing at the edge of a dirt trail in a forest. The photo was taken from behind the bike at a low vantage point with a wide angle lens so the bikes rear wheel looms large. The trail is partially covered with red autumn leaves. The forest is exploding with yellow and orange autumn colours. it’s a forest is full of tall, slender trees that are reaching up high into the sky and holding out their orange and yellow leaves.

If prevention has not been enough, it is necessary to recognize the message behind each illness and to activate the self-healing powers. Holistic therapy methods and natural, preferably regional remedies, are to be applied. Medicines no longer serve to maximize profit by combating symptoms, but support healing and prevention as far as possible. Source: The Nua-Celtic Manifesto

$3.1 million in EIGEN tokens stolen and sold

October 4, 2024
web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=eigen…

$3.1 million in EIGEN tokens stolen and sold Around 1.67 million EIGEN tokens belonging to an investor in the popular Ethereum-based EigenLayer project were stolen after the investor was tricked into transferring the tokens into the attacker's wallet. The thief then sold the tokens for around $3.1 million, although the tokens were notionally worth around $5.5 million. Some of the stolen funds were later frozen by centralized exchanges. After the incident, some questioned why the tokens had been sent to an investor without a vesting contract, given they were supposed to be locked for a period of time to prevent sale.
