It's been about a month since American Express and Mastercard decided to stop requiring signatures for EMV chip credit cards. Now Visa is joining their ranks, making signatures optional for chipped transactions in North America.

"Visa is committed to delivering secure, fast and convenient payments at the point of sale," said VIsa's Dan Sanford in a statement. "Our focus is on continually evolving the market towards dynamic authentication methods such as EMV chip, as well as investing in emerging capabilities that leverage advanced analytics and biometrics. We believe making the signature requirement optional for EMV chip-enabled merchants is the responsible next step to enhance security and convenience at the point of sale."

    You won't believe what you can learn on S/N: TMB is in not way different by the special snowflakes.
    Not only that TMB has an ass at the bottom of his back, but he also has sensibilities!!!

    Remember guys, you can learn this kinda things only on S/N! (so maybe it's a good time to pay some subscriptions).

    Snowflakes can suck a dick. I've been yelling at the ones out front to get off my lawn for days now and their hippie asses are still there in the millions. The only good thing about them is they're fun to piss on.

      I hear playing Slayer at high volume is the way to remove a hippie infestation.

    An ass whisperer might be able to tell me how many people have a subscriber badge but keep it hidden from view. Alas, guidance on this does not seem to be forthcoming from anyone in the shite white house. Single letter typos almost too easy to make are they by adjacent keys almost resulting in sharp or flat.

      Why is there a sharp key on my keyboard but no flat key? What do they have against trumpet players?

        That trumpets don't have MIDI interface? Or USB port?

        If not that, then I don't know.

        Because it's not a sharp symbol, it's typically referred to as the pound sign or possibly the number sign.

        It's mostly morons that learned C# that seem to think otherwise. Most of us old enough to know better prior to MS inventing the language wouldn't be using that as our first guess at the meaning of the symbol.

      Badge public or hidden from view is almost irrelevant when considered from the perspective of the Funding goal [soylentnews.org]
      There are 6000+ members, if all would contribute $1/year, the base goal would be exceeded.
      T's not like S/N is looking to make profits.

        If everyone would get a subscription, that would exceed $1/year.

        It was in a conversation about the evils of advertising you convinced me to get a subscription. For the same reason I pay for Netflix with no ads. Hulu with no ads. HBO with no ads. I could go on and on.
