Modern (read:any card issued in the past 3 or 4 years) contactless cards most certainly DO. NOT transmit the card number and expiry date in the clear. Don't believe me? Scan one with your NFC phone.
You are not the only one, and also not the only millenial.
Videos are very popular with teens and tweens, but the older you get, the less time you have, and the more "information dense" you want your communications. Videos are basically the least information dense way to communicate anything. It takes an order of magnitude longer to consume a video about something than to read an article on the same subject communicating the exact same information.
Videos have their uses, don't get me wrong, but the idea of video comments is ridiculous.
Just throwing it out there that this mechanism would never work in Canada or Europe or most anywhere else in the world as we all use Chip & PIN technology and have for a decade (or more depending on the country). A cop can't "scan my bank card" and take my money. They would need my PIN, which I will not give them, nor can they compel it from me at a traffic stop, or any other time for that matter.
Even though the US is finally starting to adopt EMV cards, you are doing it using this FOOLISH "chip and signature" method which gives you zero protection against fraud (or foolishness like this) - but apparently the banks think that having to remember a 4 digit number is too big a burden for Americans.
Is there a single use case where this ISN'T useful?
Talk to any sales person or executive who is on the road 4 days a week 52 days a year. Talk to any average person with a phone who has to work on a big spreadsheet once a year (tax time). Talk to anyone who has ever tried to do detailed photo manipulation on an iPad or phone.
This is the future. The idea that you are going to have BOTH a phone AND a PC is a dated concept... your phone IS A PC, it just has a tiny screen and no good input device. The ability to take a phone, dock it and get a full desktop experience will all of your files still available, is the nirvana pretty much anyone who is not a hardcore developer or gamer is waiting for.
You don't have to actually PRODUCE the thing to patent it. You just need to have the invention, and IBM has 400,000 people who get incentives to produce novel inventions.
You miss the point. This is less about them stealing your info, as using the Pornhub network (which by the way hosts many other port tube sites) to distribute malware (likely ransom ware as it makes a shit load of money) to all their free visitors.
Meanwhile, people with a PC perfectly capable of running Windows 10, but do not have Windows 7 or 8 (1 year older laptop running Vista) have no legal way to get it for free at all, because Microsoft won't release a non upgrade installer for us.
Those were all very deliberate and calculated acts, not accidents.
Trump has a much higher likelihood of having a gaffe cascade into a war because he is such a bull headed idiot. Look at how he conducts himself with Mexico. Imagine if he conducts himself this way with Russia or China.
Regardless of how self serving or fraudulent you may think she is, the odds of Hilary accidentally plunging the whole planet into world War three due to ineptitude seems significantly lower than with Trump.
This very narrow POC on foreign policy is exactly why Trump does not belong in the white house.
The foreign military presence of the United states is a major part of what has ensured a peaceful world for the past 50 years. Under this umbrella of protection, the world economy has flourished and grown exponentially - and being the largest free market economy in the world, the US has been by far the biggest beneficiary. For every dollar spent on foreign lrotection, many more are earned by US companies that would likely not have been earned without that peace. And, we have not even gotten into the very tangible benefits of exporting your culture to the rest of the world via the military.
I actually just went through this today. I have a trip I am going on for which my company forced me to go through a travel agency. This resulted in a 20 minute conversation with a travel agent to describe and book a flight plan that took me less than 30 seconds to do on Google Flights. All I wanted to do was click the "buy" button, but no, I had to engage in this mindless conversation.
Not all tasks need conversations. In fact, most tasks are much easier and simpler to do with a mouse or keyboard. The few tasks that do require conversations, are also the complicated requests typically require humans and no bot can handle them today.
They read the encrypted key off of the phone using an electron microscope, allowing them to brute-force attempt as many combinations as they want. A computer can try 9999 four digit passcodes in under a second. Not true of long alphanumeric passcodes.
The game does not need to be "upped". The only reason the encryption is so easily crackable is because it only had a 4 digit PIN. If the person had used a 16 character alphanumeric passcode, the encryption would be for all intents and purposes "uncrackable" as even with Apple's assistance, the FBI would never be able to brute-force the lock.
It is when you consider the generational gap. Millenials don't use cash at all. Most don't even carry cash. Cash use is pretty much isolated to people over 40, and vending machines. No one I know would even use cash to pay for their morning $1 coffee... mainly because they would not even have any cash on hand.
This article is very US Centric and ignores many facts and counterpoints, one of which is Canada, which is already a cashless society for all intents and purposes (were down to only 44% of transactions using cash and it falls by roughly 10% a year). Furthermore it makes the assumption that a cashless society incurs costs on the poor, when that is only true in the USA where undertaking of the poor is an epidemic and Visa and Mastercard have a vice grip on the debit card industry, charging high fees for merchants and consumers. Thesent are US specific problems, not problems with cashless societies in general.
I am a "user" and the only reason I entered this thread was to see if I could use this to FINALLY root my Galaxy S6 which has a signed bootloader and no root method.
So, you're wrong. Users also want root methods for Android because carriers and manufacturers keep locking the damn bootloader
I am sorry buto you are wrong and the GP is right. I was just in San Francisco a few weeks ago for the RSA conference and it was my first time. The very first thing that stuck me driving I to down was the ASTOUNDING LACK OF DEVELOPMENT. For the population size of this city the lack of high-rise condos is very mind bending. Go to any other large metropolitan area in North America and it would have 10x the high rise condos as San Francisco. The residents of that his city are truly digging their own grave by disallowing development.
If you buy a Nexus phone you can recompile from scratcj and reflash from the bootloader up. The only binary blob that may be there is the GSM driver (not sure).
The idea that the FBI does not have the technical capability to do this is total bollocks and has been disproven many times. In fact there are private companies who have already offered to help them do it. However the process is expensive and not scale able en masse - which is exactly why the FBI is pursuing this case. They have no interest in unlocking ONE phone. They want to unlock ALL phones, whenever they want.

It's already phased out. I haven't had a contactless card with a clear text card number in 3 or 4 years. It is ALWAYS encrypted.
This is a non story. Next.

You have to remember that it is $50 directly deductible as a business expense, so it's really more like $30 a day.
