Google is rolling out a pilot program today that introduces a new way to pay cashiers — and it involves leaving your phone in your pocket. Is it called "cash"? I hear that works pretty well.

Quote: Cashiers also have a way to detect what the person looks like and whether it’s the same person in the photo tied to a Google profile.
So by not uploading a picture to my Google account I can keep this malfeature disabled permanently? Sweet!
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

My friend Scott pointed out the towels in most hotels now have RFID tags to help with inventory control:
I also knew that my RSA Conference badge would have an RFID tag in it so it could be scanned on the expo floor:
Since I never leave home without my Proxmark3 in my assault pack it was time to get to work:
What I found out next is something I wasn’t expecting that made this whole thing a lot more interesting.
This is why most hotels won't touch security/hacker conventions with a 6 foot pole (or a 7 foot russian ).

Where can I get one of those nifty scanners and programmers?
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

The Proxmark3 is available from Proxmark3.com[^] among others.
If he needed more stuff to pull off the hack is TBA.

In the last 2 years Golang (or simply ‘Go’) has raised to the ranks of mainstream programming languages like Java, Python and C/C++. Did I miss the notice for "Compare some language to Java Day"?
In that case, I'll work on a post comparing Malbolge to Java (or that other odd language with the rude name)

In a shift from the all-distractions-are-bad narrative, some research in cognitive psychology is revealing an unexpected bright side to having an easily distractible mind: People who are terrible at tuning out the nonsense around them also happen to be more highly creative than their more focused peers. Yeah, I'm kind of easily

Writing functional code is often backwards and can feel more like solving puzzles than like explaining a process to the computer. That never stopped people from using JavaScript

That's quite insensitive.
Functional programs have feelings. Haskell is probably crying somewhere right now.
