Europe is bracing itself for a big shake-up in how we pay for things online, which will have significant consequences for businesses across the region. Similar to how GDPR hugely impacted how millions of organizations handle personal data when it was enforced last year, Strong Customer Authentication (or SCA) will have profound implications for how businesses handle online transactions and how we pay for things in our everyday lives when it is enforced on September 14.

SCA will require an extra layer of authentication for online payments. Where a card number and address once sufficed, customers will now be required to include at least two of the following three factors to do anything as simple as order a taxi or pay for a music streaming service. Something they know (like a password or PIN), something they own (like a token or smartphone), and something they are (like a fingerprint or biometric facial features).

    Soylent does delete spam.

    No, Soylent did delete spam. Once. When we were first starting out and someone scripted an assload of comments on every story over a couple weeks old. Those got deleted. Only those.

    They have banned users and removed their comments.

    You are incorrect.

    Thus the facility exists.

    You are again incorrect. The one instance of deletion was done from the mysql command line. And it broke things that were a huge pain to fix. Calling it a legitimate option is akin to calling opening your car door with explosives when your child locked themselves inside of it with your keys an option.

    Please stop giving stupid people ideas.

      Speak for yourself. I'm still trying to convince The Roomie's dad to let me take care of all the red cedar trees (they're a plague in OK because of how much water they'll suck up) on his place with Tannerite [tannerite.com]. It'd be fast, easy, and a lot more fun than having to cut off half a dozen limbs each before you took the chainsaw to several dozen trees.

        The Original Binary Exploding Rifle Target

        Tannerite® is here to serve you.

        You are planning on attaching targets on the trees so you can shoot them to death?

          It doesn't come as targets, it comes as a kit you mix together and put on your existing targets. Or, if you're a silly-assed country boy who likes explosions, around the trunk of a cedar tree that you don't want to be there anymore. Or in a jar inside a broken clothes dryer that you've drug out into the field.

        What is a binary exploding rifle target?

          It's a binary explosive that you can buy at sporting goods stores (as a kit with the two components you have to mix yourself ) that's set off by physical shock like shooting it with a bullet; blasting caps would probably also work. You can use it for whatever you like but while the product is legal not all potential uses are.
