Why? The car has nothing to do with anything Steve did.

An added stylesheet should be enough to do that

Understood, I will happily edit it out

Understood. But even then it couldn't be easier than the contactless direct debit we already have.

I wasn't aware. It's meant to refer to every country having a different solution for the same thing, which in the EU is much the case. That said I picked it up from Steve Jobs talking about cable networks in the US.

That's good. Maybe I haven't seen it because direct debit via contactless (including Apple Pay) is faster, hence the default, where I am.

A Wero payment is executed as a SEPA transfer. As an online store you don't want to ask customers to manually input a payment reference into a SEPA transfer. It's all about ease of use (and safety).

I think the headline is misleading to the point of being childish. It describes a consolidation of _online_ payment systems that are currently quite fragmented in the EU. It does nothing about in-store payments. Direct debit cards (10x as p

This is where American and European mindsets differ vastly. We spend what we have. Our spending is directly reflected in one’s balance. We’re insensitive to rewards for spending money.

I'm just not sure this directly competes with MC/Visa the way the article suggests. Didn't other EU countries already have something similar to iDEAL, as opposed to using credit cards? And now we're just consolidating th

Can't be a missed opportunity if it never took off. People know what they like/dislike, and crypto payments didn't cut it for whatever reasons. UX, cost, and waiting for blockchain confirmations come to mind. Also what proble

I could see two ways out - People need to be trained to use AI in ways that we don’t call slop, meaning half is made up by the LLM - To this effect, LLMs should be trained to ask for more input before offering any kind of final output

The original Mac OS was hack on top of hack to make the GUI work on the 1984 hardware. It couldn’t be retroactively modernized the way they wanted.

Agreed. I myself have long ago begun ‘curating’ stimuli actively, mostly by shutting out that which isn’t relevant or actionable to me. Social media being #1, not counting DM apps. Push notifications of any kind except for DMs being #2. Sou

I hate slop as much as you do. Your comment makes no sense.

I use emdashes all the time. They're correct punctuation as opposed to a minus sign. They're easy to type too: opt-shift-minus. If they were such a huge giveaway without ever being used by humans, models would be trained by now no

I found this an illuminating piece, though I don't think percentages needed to be assigned between "is it about cost" vs "is it about security"

by jorisw 5mo ago
I don't think it is. Just the (somewhat lame) graphics are.

You're not really responding to the piece at all.

Will concede that David Pogue is a bit of a hack compared to the other biographers. I didn't think his recent book added much except for some stories from the Tim Cook era.
