Hi, from what I read the linkerd proxy allow to supervise response stats (latency, error rate). In kubernetes you didn't have global proxy stats. It's a circuit breaker and you can connect with other service with different protocols (http,rpc) without have to know what protocol other service use. I didn't have tested linkerd yet but I noticed this points. I think it's really useful when you have micro services
> contactless card are less secure than an tokenized mobile app because contactless card send you credit card number with NFC without encryption.
Only in the United States. In mainland Europe NFC has always used EMV authentication between terminal. Also as an aside: a european credit card's number alone is kinda useless.
I'm not quite sure that's the case. Using an NFC app on my phone, I was able to get my credit card's number without any issue. Also had the expiry date and a list of transactions.

If your card speaks MSD over NFC then it will provide that information. That's up for your bank. My cards not do it and as such I cannot use NFC in many places in the US.
but from a consumer perspective who cares? you're protected either way. i prefer to carry a single card vs my phone if i'm running in the rain and want to stop for a drink. other times if i forget my wallet the phone is great, but it's totally equal as a user.
You can't use iCloud as backend for other platforms. If you like to port your iOS app for android you cannot use the same backend. It's a major restriction if you wish to extend your app in other devices.
