Let Google come up with a Swift like language

You mean Groovy, which was the inspiration for Swift and has been able to target Android for at least a year and a half?

I worked for amex as an analyst for a couple of years. They do not (nor do visa or mc) have the ability to see itemised transactions from stores. They can see the merchant id (ie. the store), the amount of $, and they have a lookup table that will assign the merchant to a particular industry. That's pretty much it.

This is blatantly false. My Amex online account lists itemized receipts for at least some retailers (I remember offhand all of the office-supply chains).

EU consumer laws have the express purpose of limiting the abuse of consumers by sociopathic profit-seekers.

Well, the sociopathic profit-seekers who work for companies whose customers can go elsewhere. The sociopathic profit-seekers in government get to abuse to their heart's content. And lest there be any doubt about the latter, the regulator in question was yesterday specifically calling for abuse of "antitrust" action against American companies.

Reliance doesn't require a contract. Both providers reasonably should have known that service wasn't available at the address.

He put his faith in two organizations no one trusts.

In fact, he reasonably relied on their assurances that service was available to his detriment. It seems to me that he should be contacting an attorney.

Knowing the ins and outs isn't necessary. Knowing generally what it's used for is, just as much as any developer should know "don't store plaintext passwords". I'm not offhand familiar with how to securely generate a salt, and I use a library that does that, but I certainly know that there's a Wrong Way to handle passwords.

How many deployment avenues don't use cryptographic signatures? Usually you're either producing downloadable code, in which case the packages or tarballs are generally signed, or deploying to an HTTP or similar server, in which case you should at least understand what the purpose of TLS is.

They are trying to make as much money as they can, and nothing else.

And they make money by ensuring that there are drivers.

That's if you're trying to permit AJAX requests cross-site, and that's pretty easy. The difficulty with the JavaScript image-decoding shims is that they're trying to intercept the browser's ordinary page-loading flow, and at least Firefox (the one major browser that doesn't support WebP) won't let JavaScript hook into third-party img loads.

What in the world are you talking about? I have an application that's focused on processing and displaying user images. Are you seriously claiming that it would be better practice for me to deal with reinventing the storage wheel instead of saving everything to S3 and serving it from there?

Same-origin policy is a nightmare for use with CDNs. I really wanted to use WebP for image handling for the application I'm working on, but Firefox adamantly refuses to merge a patch adding WebP support, and the JavaScript shim can only access the images if they're pulled of the same host. Images loaded from a CDN aren't accessible to the JS decoder.

No, the actual number of defensive gun uses is only around 7000 per day in the United States.

and still no merge of the working WebP patch that was proposed four years ago because NIH.

The code that I saw, which basically reached out of its container and hit the "retweet" button on itself, was definitely a clever hack.
