Good for you. This article has nothing to do with NFC on bank cards though.

Excellent. Now we just need your eyeballs, all your finger prints, DNA , voice to secure your life
Just a long line, from credit card skimmers, switch amiibo mimic, car, garage in the middle jacking
Credit cards with your CVV number in high contrast ( I scratch mine off immediately )
Std yale lock picked in real time as same speed as opening with a key . doors with enough space to slide a credit card down with some shaking to get an ingress
Mighty pin code to your card, amazingly long 4 digits on a keypad that won't randomise the number placements, as more people with forget as lose muscle memory - I can from 10 meters away roughly know
what someones pin code is , in the supermarket
Oyster card in london hacked in no time
weird as some devices are very secure, even with highly electronic devices measuring voltages making it 100X easier to crack to just a million years and not a 100 million
Some fancy doors opened by strong magnets, or a paper clip jabbed through led light
In some countries I travelled you secure your room with your own padlock, checked to see how many times padlocks had been ripped off . like car window glass in some areas of a town. Probably engaged 20 checks and methods to improve security on top of that
Hell hotel old style keys could be copied , sure the a good locksmith might not do it, if has no copy on it. Some even had room key and hotel ID on them
Not hard to with turnstyles eg London underground to pretend to present a card and slip in on someone's turnstyle with out even that person knowing .
Dress right enough people and unknowns you can follow just about anyone in to most normal buildings with right social skills
Back to hotel, with these cards you knew cleaners, staff could get in , you need that set a code safe, has a master code ( probably same in all rooms )
Ie most security is an illusion
Before 9/11 most USA airports securities' were a joke . ie scanning machines within feet of each other people streaming through both , so hand off easy as . In some countries I just walked around them as did';t want my film scanned ( Greece and China for trains ) , as many probably set way to high and never tested unlike dentistry machines are now, No one stopped me

Is that $85K figure really representative of what the average American earns or is that including Trump, Musk, Bill Gates etc and averaging out their money with the rest? I don't know the mathematical term for what I'm trying to say (median maybe?) but I think you know what I mean. I only ask because I've travelled a lot round the states and was honestly surprised by the number of people I met living in vans or tents (by necessity rather than choice).

3 ways to calculate averages. Mean, median, mode. Median would be used when you have outliers like that to avoid skewing the data…or you would just throw out the outliers. Haven’t looked at the data myself but I assume they don’t count outliers to reduce skewness. It’s what we are taught in Econometrics. Well, not throw it out per se, it stays in the dataset but it gets dropped from the equation. Part of cleaning the data to make it usable.
Edit: just realized we’re speaking about GDP per capita, the rich are likely included, they wouldn’t skew the data that much actually. GDP is based off of Investment, governmental expenditure, consumption and net exports. Rich folk would be a drop in the bucket and not worth excluding. If we were talking average income that would be different.
