Checks certainly are not completely phased out in your country, just no longer common for consumers. And shopkeepers can still take a name off a card.

Exploit developers telling them their mitigations won't do anything, for starters.

What can also be judged is ignoring expert advice in favor of rolling their own inferior solutions.

It doesn't say anything about the rules of physics being different that I can see.

Thanks, that's pretty interesting. I'd actually be really interested if you would care to explain how, I think others would find it interesting also. I'm not even sure how I would approach trying to do that.

I'm going to bow out of the conversation at this point. At this point I'm arguing against feelings not facts, and I suspect you're being quite a bit contrarian also. So much of what you say is flat out wrong, and I don't

Contractions are proper English. Your "correction" is not one. Nice try though.

I still don't see the relationship. Framework components are using the standard to create what they create, and that's how it's meant to be. I wouldn't expect the standard to ever really offer most of what a framework do
