But the average is already what the limit on iPhone is. This means anyone even slightly above average is already out. Imagine if you weren't allowed to wear tall jeans just because you're above average. That's what Apple does

What inconvenience? All the Chase credits cards show up under a single login; you can pretty much simply login once a month a pay all 9 or 11 of them at once. Or setup auto-pay. Or change the due-date to be the exact same date for all of th

I imagine it might be a hardware limitation? I couldn't find any details about where it comes from. They might be storing private keys in physical hardware; but then why does each card has to have its own private key, why not share all

Why not? When you physically had to carry all of them around, it was simply impractical to have 20 different cards. If you can add all of them to a tiny device, and they all come from just a few banks that provide a unified interface to man

What about debit cards? So, basically, you're leaving just one or two slots for anyone who's above average?

That's just not true. If it's stored in some special secure memory, it's probably actually slower than the general memory on Android. Android's contactless doesn't require network connectivity. You can switch and us

Doesn't Amazon Prime card have benefits at Whole Foods Market, too? They do accept contactless.

Don't all ATMs support contactless these days? I used ATM with contactless. So, no, you don't. You just need a good phone that doesn't have arbitrary restrictions.

Why would anyone want to carry 20 cards? Why wouldn't you want to add all the cards you have to your wallet? Because your $699 iPhone doesn't support the feature?

That's the whole point — I can add the ones I rarely use to Android Pay still. For example, I have 11 Chase credit cards, and all of them are in Google Pay on Android. I almost never use the hotel ones; they simply provide other benefi

It's proprietary info, part of the scoring models. I think the magic number for best score is actually 20+, but it also counts the closed accounts over the last 7 to 10 years, too. I recall seeing this in Credit Karma or maybe Experian

by cnst 5y ago
You are aware that 20+ is actually the magical number of accounts that you're supposed to have in your credit file to have the best credit score? This is not even about credit cards. Debit counts, too. Say you have two bank accounts, a

That's some good news, hopefully a change will follow. Note that Apple Pay also has a very low limit on the number of cards that you can add, presumably because each card occupies an actual hardware slot. In the original iPhone SE, tha

Good question. I think Wells Fargo actually did used to have their own Android Pay alternative within their own app, but they've discontinued it, and now you have to add their cards directly into Google Pay. If you go into "Settin

You cannot blame other operators if your own operator has broken software. If your network cannot accommodate another network's DNS servers being unreachable, the problem is your network, not the fact that the other network is unreacha

An average webpage today is several megabytes in size. How would a few bytes over a couple of UDP packets for DNS have any meaningful impact on anyone's network? If anything, things fail faster, so, there's less data to transmit.

Source? DNS errors are actually still cached; it's something that has been debunked by DJB like a couple of decades ago, give or take: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/third-party.html > RFC 2182 claims that DNS failures

Exactly. And it would actually be worse, because the clients would have to wait for a timeout, instead of simply returning a name error right away.

But DNS didn't actually fail. Their design says DNS must go offline if the rest of the network is offline. That's exactly what DNS did. Sounds like their design was wrong, but you can't just blame DNS. DNS worked 100% here as

Note that contrary to popular reports, DNS was NOT to blame for this outage — for once DNS worked exactly as per per the spec, design and configuration: > To ensure reliable operation, our DNS servers disable those BGP advertisements if

I think it's worth pointing out that these pull requests replace a totally unrelated package with either one of these two packages that claim to be copying each other. The way it was framed was that someone forked a packaged and starte

Krebs literally posts a PNG image citing court filings listing 10 IP addresses responsible for 100% of DNS traffic for a public domain name over a period of 4.5 months. Actual origin of the underlying data is never explained, of course, but

Remove it and replace it with what exactly?! Telegram remains the only mainstream free speech platform on the web today, with the least amount of censorship and the most resiliency against being taken down.

As I understand the article, it used to be that campaigning has been disallowed as early as one day before the voting day. Now it's disallowed starting from the voting day. Is that not so?

How's it not objective, though? What if the request came from the EU or the US, to ban an account that was campaigning in local elections in violation of local election finance laws? Note that the ban is not even permanent! It's o
