I'm not familiar with either the details of how JWTs or Macaroons are implemented, that's why I'm interested in a cryptographer or security expert comment on this.

Do you think that Macaroons are a sane alternative to JWTs? or in general, any comments on using them for authorization instead of OAuth2 or any of the alternatives?

Edit: I think I do understand that some of the problems with JWT is that they have a lot of moving parts so the attack surface is much greater as well as not helping the developer avoid getting shot in the foot.

Macaroons by comparison seem much simpler to my untrained eye, in that they are "just" a chain of HMACs, so that any modification of the different sections of a Macaroon would render it invalid.

So why would Macaroons be or not be a suitable alternative to JWTs or other auth methods?

Please it would be better for the overall discussion and HN quality if you would refrain from posting nonsense. Of course Europe has emissions regulations[1] and cars have to go through an approval process testing these before getting an authorization to hit the markets.

The difference is that NOx emission levels are stricter in the US while the CO emission levels are stricter in the EU, effectively making the US market favorable to petrol cars while the EU is more favorable to diesel.

The VW defeat device scandal in the US started what's been known as dieselgate in Europe, the investigation that first targeted VW was then applied to all car makers and they pretty much all been found guilty of cheating to pass test while actually polluting way more.

As there are different tax rates for different emission levels this sent the car makers into the realm of tax fraud and tax evasion.

The EU has launched legal proceedings against 7 countries (Germany, UK, Spain, Luxembourg, Lituania, Czech Republic and Greece) and more may follow for not respecting the 2007 law for approval of new vehicles and for the lack of sanctions delivered or deliverable.

EU initiated an investigation which preliminary proceedings unveiled that the cheating was known to a few countries since at least 2010 and that they engaged in attempt to delay adoption of better and stricter tests.

Large cities around Europe have enacted bans on diesel cars, second hand sales of diesel cars have fallen by 10% compared to the previous year which is unprecedented.

Some diesel models were cancelled and a few carmakers even started pivoting from diesel to hybrid cars.

This quick summary is the tip of the iceberg and contrasts deeply with your claim of "despite all that's happened in the US, in Europe they're still getting away with it today."

I recently read "A Year of Living Danishly"[1] - an amazing account of two early-30s brits who move to Denmark and learn how life works there. After an adjustment period, they are floored, and I mean absolutely floored how good the work/life balance is. They are shocked their old life they loved can seem so horrible in comparison.

I asked my Danish friend about it, and he said "Yeah, I like living in a country that focuses on being happy rather than focusing on getting money."

I think this is where NNTPchan (and to some extent imageboard culture itself) helps with working around legal issues.

On imageboards content is confined to relevant boards e.g. posts about anime would go on /a/(anime) not /k/(weapons) unless they are weapon-themed anime. In addition posting illegal/unsavory content (e.g. cp or gore) on boards it doesn't belong is usually considered a ban-worthy offence.

The way NNTPchan specifically helps is by letting the server admin decide which boards are permitted, so NNTPchan servers have the option to not handle any content related to /loli/ or any other boards that could get them into legal trouble.
I've made use of this [1] python script before for running some mail-merging type tasks with inkscape, so that could be a good starting point for anyone looking to do some fancy inkscape automation.

Personally I used it to combine generating mail merged print and laser cut patterns for the place cards. So you get a pdf to print out and a laser cutting SVG which can be 'lasered on' after the printing.

startcom and wosign (startcom is now owned by wosign) certificates signed after a certain date are not trusted by some browsers by default due to the back-dating issue last year.

Because of the same trust issues some organisations have their OS and browser installations configured to not trust any certificate signed by startcom or wosign (or a certificate that chains to one of theirs).
"I'm also still unclear on _how_ a minimum wage would have no effect on unemployment,"

Yeah, I'll admit that batch files aren't exactly ideal. As a c# developer though, I don't ever use Python, so that doesn't come over as easier for me. I think I moved all the important parts into VARs, so you shouldn't have to change too much in the script.

I think Jews having outsized outcomes in life is pretty well settled. If you're asking for a double blind study I don't have one, but I'm hesitant to throw away thousands of years of tradition. There's a lot of things in life we think we understand well but it just ain't so. Maybe circumcision reduces sex drive in men allowing them to pursue higher goals. Maybe it frees up an important part of the brain for other general computation. I'm only speculating but I think that's fair when most of the alleged harms of circumcision are also speculation. For what it's worth, the biggest harm for myself has been the unending insistence that circumcised people are somehow "incomplete" and inferior. It took me a while and lots of research to realize that the story is far more complex.
https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/men-explain-why-they-were...

We don't have many examples of adult men undergoing the procedure to say which way feels better, since any medical problems would show themselves before they reach adulthood, and nobody really wants to get cut needlessly. The above link follows 4 men who did have it done as adults after they started their sex lives and the results range from "fine" to "horrible". It should be noted that circumcision was pushed in America with the purpose of stopping masturbation, i.e. a purely religious reason [1] (AFAIK none of my circumcised friends have refrained from masturbating), by John Kellogg (he invented cornflakes for the same purpose), and [2] has some excerpts from his book, including "burning the clitoris with acid is an effective means of curtailing female masturbation". I find the idea of mutilating the genitals a bit horrific, even if you're basically cutting off an organ that isn't strictly speaking keeping you alive. Humans are pretty resilient and you can cut off a lot of small parts before you actually start seeing real functional impediment.

I will note that [2] also notes that people living in hotter, wet climates (Jews, Muslims, some tropical island tribes, etc.) practice it for purely health reasons, since in the time when you couldn't take a shower whenever you wanted, the secretions that collect under the foreskin can lead to inflammation. Today if you live in an apartment and can take daily showers, I think spending 5 seconds to clean your willy is a better alternative to risking circumcision. Some boys unfortunately need it done, but that's no reason to cut off everyone's en-masse. Similarly, there was a time when children had their tonsils removed routinely to prevent diseases [3], but with today's improved standard of living that's not needed.

For one, it has erogenous nerves in it. Or more clearly put: Friction and pressure on certain parts of my foreskin feels really good, even if the entirety of it is held fixed and none of the friction is applied to the glans. The parts that feel good are fairly forwards, so it is unlikely that any of that would survive a circumcision.

For the other, in penetration it both acts as liquid-less lubrication by allowing the penis to move freely inside it even if the vagina isn't very wet; and it also increases the range of sensations by feeling different when the movement is with the glans still inside the foreskin, and when it's deeper in and outside the foreskin. The "pseudo lube" aspect is also appreciated by women in my experience.

E: I see some people down-voted this and i am earnestly puzzled. I believe i have described only physical facts. Is this post too "frank" for a public forum, or did i get something wrong?
You might have skipped over this part of the article:

> “Based on guidance from the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, our reserve amounts to one year of operating budget,” said Samantha Lien, a spokeswoman for the Wikimedia Foundation. “If there were circumstances that affected our ability to raise those funds during that period, we could end up in an urgent situation — the reserve is a safety net to protect Wikipedia against such a possibility.”

It's prudent for any non-profit to have a suitable reserve in case of emergencies. The WMF was not financially stable and only recently has started moving towards that direction with its endowment. I agree that the banners were a bit too alarmist in tone, but they weren't that far from the truth and I'd rather Wikipedia overcommits rather than under to save face but instead be financially unstable.
You got it upside down. It's silly to "talk" (talk as in communication in the medical research community) about deaths due to preventable diseases, which should be left to social scientists, politicians, celebrities, advocacy groups etc.

If science and medicine has given you a solution and you don't apply it in your life, it's your problem not of the scientific community.

It's very cool that you guys actually gathered some data on the topic.

I wonder how much your conclusions would hold for non-public-sector jobs.

AFAIK it's typically harder to fire a public-sector worker for under-performance, than in the private sector. Perhaps that either (a) adds to the temptation to goof around at home, or (b) attracts the kinds of workers who were always more apt to goof around, given the opportunity.

I do think it is a bit of a mistake for git UI tools to so prominently feature the DAG first instead of something more akin to `--first-parent` views.

(Especially in the way that a lot of old SVN/CVS users came into git wanting a simple straight line view and finding tools like rebase instead of `git log --first-parent`, we've ended up in a bit of a mess where people expect to do the heavy lifting in "sandblaster" tools like rebase instead of better UI/UX tools.)

Ask HN: Probability of 4 consecutive people “randomly selected” on US airport?
Recently me and my friends were traveling back to US and we were traveling as a group. All 4 of us were so called "randomly selected" for extended inspection. It was hilarious for the person handing us over the boarding pass and just a hassle for us (we were already tired). Later that made me wonder; what is the probability of 4 consecutive people getting selected? I am not really good at this stuff so I was wondering if somebody can actually calculate the probability (or will it even make sense?).

Lots of RBDMS's have their issues or drawbacks, none like Oracle DB. The only RDBMS where you actually have to throw cash at it to solve a problem like scale or backups.

The Oracle RDBMS is absolutely terrible. You'd have to be absolutely mad to use it, even if it was free. In all my years I have never met anyone ever that chose it for it's technical merit, especially from people whom have knowledge of more than one RDBMS. Whatever it's got, another RDBMS's do it properly, and (usually) for a lot less money.

Pick a feature, any feature they advertise and will most likely be from a product they acquired, or half-arsed themselves.

I am not at all convinced any oracle engineer knows about fsync().

EDIT: PL/SQL is not a feature. It's a punishment.
Entirely incorrect.

As an orthodox Jew, I can tell you that failure to circumcize your son at 8 days old (outside of extenuating circumstances, e.g. medical issues) is one of the worst sins you could commit.

Furthermore, you would be ostracized from the community, and your child will suffer socially, and emotionally.

Once the child turns 13 he is responsible to ensure that he it's circumcised, and considering that he most likely will not have abandoned his religion by 13 he will go through with it. So now there's physical pain as well.

Yes they do. It's far harder to agree to do it later. And it is necessary for membership in the Israelite Nation, according to the Bible. Which means it will have huge ramifications for the person in terms of marriage, children and their whole life.

Ask 1000 men born to Orthodox Jewish parents whether they regret being circumcized.

And ask 1000 Orthodox Jewish men who were not circumcized whether they wish they had been.

In the West, we have values of individualism. So being part of a millennia old people or a tradition or serving God are not seen as primary values by many atheists. I bet the people downvoting and commenting here negatively about circumcision are not of an Abrahamic faith - Judaism Christianity or Islam.

Fine but the individualism has also led to more depression, tiny families, often broken homes (also permanent effects on the child). So when you talk about tradeoffs tou have to consider the complex set of interconnected benefits. And different people perceive different benefits depending on their cultural upbringing. I can tell you that the vast majority of Orthodox Jewish men are glad they were circumcized at 8 days old and not had to choose it later.

You still need to put the "5 minute tasks" into a priority queue. Of course if you only prioritize by time to completion long running tasks will rarely, if ever, get done. If it takes 5 minutes, but doesn't need to be done for a month, record the actual deadline and put it in a queue. When you need a break from more laborious or longer running tasks, check that queue of short tasks (prioritized by deadline) for things you can do right now to fill out the next few minutes before ducking out for lunch or whatever.

I mean, we don't do this with our OS schedulers? Why would we use a dogmatic "shortest task first" approach for everything else?
No, in many spiral galaxies the spiral arms are present in older stars as well; that's why they're considered density waves in the stars. The contrast is stronger for younger stars, but it's there in old stars, too.
