Fuck. You. Hater.

Doing more than anyone else, and so many are jumping on the hate train?

Bravo to Amazon

Shame on the haters.

Nope. That is the Fox News version

Seriously, why did they not just check with Fox News to see what was going on?

CSIS purchased equipment to duplicate all internet traffic leaving and entering the country around that time frame.

And if it wasn't, this alone would make it "game over".
Are they really that stupid?

This was simply dumping to dstroy competitors
Funded by China

Disney corporate greed can f up The Lords Prayer

Most of the population of Oz is in an area that is much smaller.
Same applies for any country.
Your argument is weak

Welcome back. We missed you.

Worse than that: The credit card companies and banks insist that you should sign your card.
In other words a criminal who gains access to your card, or an image of it, has a conveniently provided image of your signature to practice with!
What is needed is decent 2 factor authentication.
If suspicious, ask for a copy of government issued valid photo ID

Most of the slowness is for retailers who accept the default that the card companies and their bank provide:
A modem on a telephone line.
Often a 9600 baud modem, but defaults to the slowest speed: 1200 baud

The credit card companies have been forced to accept this.
And they hate it!
But they provide the transaction machines, communications networks, and the cards, so they can choke it, slow it down, and make it as awkward and expensive to the retailers as possible.
In the end they hope to make it so unpalatable that people will ask for the old and unsecure methods back.

Like this article and your comments, for example.

Don't be a sucker.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Err: no

Already been done with traffic circles.
In some places these are problematic due to some people being too stupid to drive
