I don't think there is a total ordering on impressive achievements. Both are impressive in their own ways.

So, in large, it depends on what perspective you have in looking at it.
True, but it was what we decided was the best way forward with web and mobile app users to standardize how we manage authentication. Does it share characteristics with sessions? Yes and we are ok with that.

Edit: One more point, we also like how JWT's are language agnostic so that we can jump between languages very easily if needed and still use the exact same concepts. Sharing sessions between, say, Java and PHP is not something that is simple/fun/easy to do. JWT's are also easier for us to reason around with, maybe it's just me or my team but I see them as more finite than sessions.
So I've had a Flickr for a while, and not just for the free terabyte - I just started using that about a year and a half ago. But it's now a pretty ingrained part of my life, particularly using the Flickr app pretty much like my photo gallery. I've got tens of thousands of photos there, and I've encouraged my friends to use it too because it's a great app, the uploading works fast and well, and it's better designed and easier to use than other photo apps in my opinion.

The rapid phase-out period unnerves me, personally. If I hadn't seen it, and bam, all but 1000 of my tens of thousands of photos were deleted, I don't know what I'd do. Yes, I know, have backups - but moving and organizing tens of thousands of photos takes time and energy. I've also got miscellaneous friends and family that I now have to tell about this change, to download their photos and keep them somewhere else.

I just wish there was a cheaper option for those of us who want to keep our photos on Flickr. $50/year is pretty high; you can get a 1TB hard drive for $38 on Amazon. If there was some kind of intermediate tier I'd really appreciate it.

I know that you want to increase community engagement, and I think that's a noble goal, but consider this: you've got a great photo tool, and some people want to use it for their own personal photos without engaging in the community. In my experience, the uploadr works faster and better than Google Photos or other apps I've tried, and I prefer the interface to other apps. Why not just charge what it costs to run? According to Backblaze [0] disk space now costs them about 2 cents/gigabyte. So about $20 for a terabyte. Now I realize there are costs associated of course - bandwidth etc, maintenance, whatnot - but I'm sure you could profitably offer a limited plan for less than what the current Pro plan costs.

In any case, good luck with Flickr, I'm rooting for you guys.
Oh right, I knew there was a reason everyone was terrified when HBO let itself be bought by AT&T.
> hat is true, height is often a bad proxy for some other quality you're looking for and which could be solved in original ways besides height e.g. in the north east you'd want enough light to reach the street and avoid gloomy alleys, besides height you could manage it by removing wedges of the building (from a basic cuboid shape)

This is actually why Manhattan's older buildings look the way they do, with a distinctive 'cake tower' look, but the actual fight for sunlight has been a lot more complicated: https://www.citylab.com/equity/2016/12/how-the-battle-for-su...

> Segregation of uses is the most important of those features. The biggest factor that predicts walkability is the presence of actual destinations in walking distance of where people live. The postwar paradigm has been to rigidly control where commercial land uses can go and where they can’t, based on the premise that they are a nuisance in a residential neighborhood—bringing traffic, noise, and possibly crime. Yet all commercial uses are not created equal.

Most Americans these days live in suburbs, and I can't really think of many that don't adopt rigid single-use zoning.

In the courts, yes, but in an office?

EDIT: I should add that I am 100% for eliminating sexual harassment from the workplace (and in life), but unfortunately there's nothing that forces a company to give employees due process. I would guess that in most cases, even the appearance of inpropriety is enough to warrant termination for at-will employees.

I guess more traditional news media are not free of such problem as well.

Traditional media is more hands-on and face-to-face. There are salespeople involved, and better money trails. This is largely because the salespeople get a cut of the money spent.

Since Facebook decided to cut the salespeople out and automate the ad buying process, there are no gatekeepers. There is no salesperson wondering why an ad buy for a local congressional race is paid for with a check from a Russian bank.

Facebook and others are trying to build makeshift gatekeepers through AI. But AI, while very interesting, is still not up to the task.

Exactly what I was trying to say. Thanks for taking time to think about it
I am wondering how to avoid unnecessary re-renders using `contextType`. With the render props pattern, you could write a component e.g. <Subscribe> that subscribes to a store and accepts a prop to indicate the specific data dependencies of your component (similar to mapStateToProps() in redux -- here it could be called mapContextToProps()). It's nice to be able to use `static contextType` but it would re-render anytime any property of your context object changes (just as would be the case when using a Consumer directly). That might be fine for something like a theme but wouldn't scale to a more general state management solution.
Still up for me. Sometimes this happens, though, for a minute or two. It's a very high-traffic site.
You aren't anyone I particularly care to hear criticism from of me personally for any reason whatsoever, especially not publicly on HN.
It's not self regulation. You're misinformed. There are millions to billions in penalties that the FTC and other agencies can give out to organizations for all sorts of crap.
As somebody who left Facebook several months ago and has been skeptical about its public utility for longer, I honestly wonder if this problem is simply too large.

Even if they have some super duper fake news detection mechanism, surely it will generate false positives due to the sheer volume of political ads?

CNN is claiming neglect. They are probably right. But I think FB is overwhelmed too. Especially now that they have news vultures like Vice dunking on them post-Cambridge Analytica.

This doesn't seem that weird.

From what I understand it's very rare to drink water in Chinese culture because it was historically necessary to boil it. You drink tea, booze and soup, but not water. If someone with first hand experience can chime in on this I'd appreciate it.

Same in historical Europe and America - alcoholic beverages were preferred over water for health reasons.
How are you defining "pay inequality" while claiming it isn't real?

If I interpret "pay inequality" as "the average pay for women ages 20-60 is less than it is for men 20-60 in the US in 2018" then I've seen data suggesting it is real.
Honestly, I kind of hope Dish and Sling hold out. I don't have cable any more, but many of my family members do, and constantly complain about rates going up all the time. If enough cable companies toe the line with HBO, and ESPN, it would put a stop to that..
I mainly only drink water, but note that not everywhere in the world can you "drink" the water. My grandfather arrived at a US airforce base in Japan with his family in tow. This was in 1955 or so. They had a nice house on base. But the first time they turned on the kitchen sink, clear water came out... but also worms.

I spent most of my teenage years in several small towns along the Texas gulf coast. In most of these small towns, there was city supplied water, but it did not come from some water company that had ran thousands of miles of water mains. Instead every couple of blocks, there was a "water well" and a large 500-1000 gallon water/pressure tank which supplied water to a couple of blocks. I was told that since we were only a couple of miles from the beach that the wells were not that deep. I'd heard figures of "just 30ft", but not sure if that was true. Nonetheless, that was some nasty water. I still drank it though. Sometime in 1995 we got a brita water pitcher, it helped, but not much. Almost no one drank the stuff.

The worst case, I was visiting a friend that had moved into deep east Texas. The water was horrid. Almost impossible to drink. I took a shower that night, and it couldn't even rinse the soap off of me. My first day there, I mainly only drank beer. After going to bed late (still covered in soap), I woke up the next morning with a partial headache and a huge thirst from having no water the day before. I stumbled through the house to the kitchen sink. Found a large cup, filled it to the brim. Took a big gulp. The water was cool and quenching (or so I thought), but it was amiss. The taste, the thickness. I couldn't do it. I started gagging heavily. Nothing came up as my stomach was empty.. but still.. the water made a very thirsty man nearly puke. I took a step back and looked at my other options. There was still some cheap beer left, and there was a 2 liter bottle of diet pepsi on top of the fridge. I can't remember what my choice was, perhaps I just passed out...
Currently employed, but looking for something new, so here goes:

Location: Fort Worth, TX

Ask HN: How to handle catered lunch perk directed at specific group of employees
The satellite office I work at here in San Jose recently began a dedicated, twice-a-week catered lunch program. Before, this had mostly been an adhoc thing where the people in the office itself had ordered food/expensed it.

The issue I have is that I found out the proteins that will be included week-to-week will consist of only chicken or vegan/vegetarian options. No beef, lamb, pork, etc.

According to an office administrator this is because people in the office are either vegetarian or "chicken only".

I think having a free occasional meal perk is nice and I appreciate that we have one in the first place as some don't, etc. But personally I have some allergy-type issues concerning chicken (food hypersensitivity is the only real term to describe it), so I mostly avoid it except when there's absolutely nothing else and no time to get food elsewhere. And even so, having variety is nice.

But it seems like the protein options are the way they are based on the employees here at the office.

I get that employees aren't required to take advantage of perks, but when said perks are specifically for a subgroup of coworkers within the office it's a little frustrating..

What should I do?

Yes, and the comment you are replying to allows for that as a possibility without it being framed as "a walk-out."

I'm not suggesting they shouldn't take company time. I'm wondering why this can't be done differently. And so far the replies I'm getting don't actually address such inquiries.
Yes, of course there is skepticism in the thread. The claim being made is completely ridiculous.

I would be very surprised if the "research suggesting AI-based lie detection to be possible" that you mention is from anyone who has any sort of reputation to protect. Machine learning scientists, the vast majority of, would not touch such obvious pseudo-scientific claptrap with a ten-foot pole. It's the kind of thing that tarnishes one's reputation and never washes off. And rightly so.

I would not welcome, but grudingly accept, your references to the contrary.

Also, if iBorderCtrl are not using Eckman's work, then what kind of theoretical framework are they basing their work on? Why is it "highlly likely they're doing more than just looking for microexpressions"? Where is all the science of detecting lies from looking at peoples' faces?

And if they're not basing their work on someone's research, then what are they basing it on?
Cool. How do we get in touch? I don't really want to put my email address in a comment here...
Big water is real though. It's the bottled water industry.
The threat model for people who think like this is muggers or drug dealers who come up to you on the sidewalk, not drive-by-shootings from a car. This is mostly inaccurate, but when it comes to peoples' fears, few things are rational.

It's probably exacerbated because for people who grow up in low-density areas, the idea that the vast majority of people will just ignore you is a foreign concept. If you're in a small town and you see someone you know & like, you go up to them and chat. If you see someone you don't like, you bully them or get bullied. If you just ignore them, you likely get moved from the "like" to "don't like" category. If you extend this model out from a town of < 10K to a city of 1M, it collapses very quickly, but not before generating some very erroneous predictions.
I think I'd be more comfortable with customer scores if there's more "Access/Participation"[1]. Being able to see my scores, see how they're calculated, and dispute them would at least help with trust and preventing mistakes.

This access must be inexpensive and timely in order to be useful to the consumer" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTC_fair_information_practice#...

The media is in direct competition with Google, Facebook, and Amazon. Of course they'll dunk on them every chance they get.
I mean it technically can be equivalent but the experience is significantly worse.

One huge problem is that you can't add people's emails with just their name. Another problem is that there's no concept of accepting a friend request.

Sure you can get around it but why bother?

> If you need to access the DB to check if you can emit a new SLJWT, what's the point of the LLJWT?

It doesn't have to hit the DB, it could hit memcache or similar caching layer. It also means we could separate this table out from our main DB. We have done neither because it hasn't been an issue (performance-wise) yet.

> Why not just store that UUID by itself?

We could do that, our thought process was that we wanted everything to be a JWT and we liked the ability to, given a JWT, know who it was issued to, when it was issues, and when it expires, all without going to the DB.

> The SLJWT does seem useful, but 1h seems too much; if I fear someone might be (for example) accessing my email account using a stolen or hijacked device, they can do plenty of damage in that time. Do you make it clear to the user that their request for a remote sign out might take that long to be applied?

Totally agree on 1hr being too long and that is why we are planning on lowering it. We have technical reasons (legacy apps that we are trying to get updated) that will not work with lower than 1 hour (I won't bore people here with the details and there are workarounds but we haven't implemented them yet)
This is the kind of behavior that drives cord cutting. Unacceptable IMO.
