I encourage anyone beguiled by Tim Berners-Lee's proposal for a "Contract with the Web" to click through and read the source. It is a thick conceptual gumbo created by committee, exactly the thing the web was not. No wonder big tech has signed onto it. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/24/opinion/world-wide-web.html

I still haven't, but I did help https://rosemaryorchard.com set it up at IWC Brighton and I've been meaning to write it up while it's fresh in my head!

Do you have a pointer to a "Hello world" example? Something like, turn a light on at 07:00? I think I have Node Red installed, but it's very unclear how it's connected to HA.

I know it's a long video, but this is the best crash course I found on it. https://youtu.be/SuoSXVqjyfc It's worth watching that because it'll intro you to all the terminology and the way of thinking that Node Red requires.

2000 should not be in that progression. That's on the Windows NT line that goes 3, 3.1, 3.5, 4, 2000. So, treating XP = 6 goes pretty well. ME was a minor upgrade to 98, so that's 5.5.

@aaronpk Interesting. In this Apple support document there are separate sections for in-store vs. web payments, but they seem similar.

hm that does say explicitly "Apple sends your Device Account Number to the app or website along with the transaction-specific dynamic security code. Neither Apple nor your device sends your actual payment card number to the app." So I wonder if somehow the last 4 of the real number are sent to the processor too.

@fgtech @aaronpk I used to think that, but seeing the real last 4 digits in Stripe convinced me otherwise. They could be preserving the last 4 in the generated number or passing it as metadata, though.

Could be that Apple Pay for websites doesn't do the proxy number that Apple Pay contactless does. On my grocery store receipts it's a different last 4 digits than my actual card.

It's the language for constructing automations in "home assistant".

haha yeah this is exactly why I got rid of all my automations in home assistant and moved them into Node Red

Microsoft shouldn't be seen as an example for good numbering. Leaving off the non numeric versions you get:

1, 2, 3, 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, 2000, 7, 8, 8.1, 10...

I never realized it before but that explains how they jumped to 7...

95 = 4
98 = 5
2000 = 6

Video started off at 16 minutes 30 seconds after the initial rough cut and after the second pass is 12 minutes 47 seconds and I feel MUCH better about it.

Hopefully YouTube will feel the same way 🤣

eh I'll hold out for the 90 second cut 😆

@verumsolum @Jerm I guess I'm not sure, but I know that Stripe at least gets the last 4 digits, expiration, billing address, etc. Even when using a card directly Micro.blog never sees the number, so it seems comparable from a privacy perspective, but I may be wrong.

In general the credit card system in the US is so broken that it's not worth worrying about these minor differences anyway. At the end of the day, any problems are resolved by the fraud department.

Apple Pay generates a sort of proxy credit card number that is shared and used by the merchant. It can still be (ab)used just like your normal CC number though.

Found a piece of wood in my pecan pie. It was about 1.5cm-2cm across and not tasty

that piece of wood looks suspiciously similar to a pecan... is it in disguise?

Stop calling .org non-profit!

That's funny, I always thought the .org domains were intended for non profits but had no expectation that the registry itself was run as a non profit
