Has HN turned into a literary club? Despite trying to make it a spy novel, I thought this article was one of the better stories read on HN.



I liked it a lot too, and, obviously, I'm on Barnaby Jack's side of the vulnerability research fence, not the ATM vendor's. I even thought the style was amusing.


Agreed. I came here wanting to say I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style. Technical details coupled with great entertaining writing? Count me in. I already read enough dry technical tumblrvomit as it is.


I agree, aside from being interesting, this was a well written story. What's everyone's problem with the writing style? You have to be kidding me.


some geeks seem to have the misconception that you can't be entertained and educated at the same time. I suspect this is the same group who hates analogies.
