Totally agreed. Even in Manhattan, where pedestrians vastly outnumber motorists, way more space is given over to driving and parking lanes than to sidewalk lanes. There are entire areas of the city that are known for severe sidewalk overcrowding during every single rush hour.

Many European cities do a much better job of giving space to people instead of cars. We should do a better job of it here too.
I used to live less than 100' from a small grocery store and it was awesome. I really missed that proximity once I moved and had to drive to the store again. It was a genuine timesaver.
How I use JWT:

an encrypted storage of the user's authentication credentials, stuffed into a persistent domain cookie.

Thus, JWT is just a standardized way of encrypting a json payload and storing/retrieving it in a cookie.

works for me (my arch is stateless), and seems orthogonal to the arguments described in the article.
Sure, I'm not making a case for using JWT, I'm just noting the options and capabilities that you have if you do, which I think weren't accurately expressed initially.

There are cases where JWT can make a lot of sense. For example, a high capacity API where you don't necessarily want to check auth for every request, especially if you can rely on some sort of caching infrastructure. In that case it may make sense to use JWT, re-check the authentication on some set schedule (whether once an hour or day), and save yourself what might be a few thousand authentications a minute.
Very polite. Lots of rules on when you can kill someone, and when you MUST kill someone, and what their relatives are then obliged to do to you, and so on.
The idea that Nobel prizes are inherently unfair actually has wide credence[0][1][2]: basically everyone agrees that singling out individuals or even single organizations ignores the real degree of collaboration between scientists of all fields and levels. However, they're a tradition, and a good show, they're fantastic as a tool for publicity, the money is usually appreciated by the recipients. However, the real point of the Nobel Prize is that it's a great honor, and the effect of that honor is diminished in proportion to the number of recipients--ditto for the prize money.

> The naysayers appear to sincerely believe that AI is different from previous dual-use technology and that the many things that could go wrong create a true existential crisis.

Arguably this has already happened. Since the development of nuclear weapons there has been a human-built existential threat.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck... well, let me quote the Atlantic's Matthew Stewart:

>You see, when educated people with excellent credentials band together to advance their collective interest, it’s all part of serving the public good by ensuring a high quality of service, establishing fair working conditions, and giving merit its due. That’s why we do it through “associations,” and with the assistance of fellow professionals wearing white shoes. When working-class people do it—through unions—it’s a violation of the sacred principles of the free market.
Depends on what you're complaining about. If you're complaining about your own individual experience and being wronged (versus something where the law needs to be changed), then often local representatives can surprisingly get things done.

>spectacularly annoying to be woken up early in the morning

If by early you mean "slightly before the start of bushiness hours".

Nobody is waking up at 6am to turn wrenches at 7. Yeah, I guess if they start up at 7-8am that puts a damper on your ability to sleep in until 9 on weekdays but is that really something you find yourself wanting to do all that often? An automotive shop sounds a heck of a lot better than any establishment that is open late. I say this as someone who lives baseball throwing distance from a small business that maintains a fleet of excavators and trucks. If you live in a relatively developed area something is going to be making noise, garbage trucks, delivery trucks, nearby construction, etc.

Lisp languages have lots of abstract syntax. What is lacking is the proliferation of surface syntax.

Typically, programming languages have some dedicated phrase structure rule for recovering each kind of AST node shape out of tokens. Moreover, AST node shapes for which there is no phrase structure in the grammar cannot be instantiated from source text.

Lisp languages tend to have a small surface syntax that is general, and expresses all possible AST node shapes, including ones that have no assigned meaning.

So, Lisps have plenty of abstract syntax; but abstract syntax is better because it is a data structure that usually no longer exhibits representational issues that require parsing.

Sometimes it does. Lisp parameter lists like (a b &optional c &key d e) require a bit of parsing; they are a flat list that has to be scanned for the lambda list keywords like &optional and &key. Nothing stops Lisp programmers from creating similar parsing problems of their own, in the arguments of a macro. Usually it's a far cry from having to deal with a full blown grammar.

I knew it was a small niche market, and I set it as really a "reasonable" goal.

"If 100 people in 30 days are interested with this ad spend, then I'll reach out engage them and build the thing."

Depending on your app/market, you can change that number accordingly, but I think 100 is just a great "feel good" number thats hard enough to hit as evidenced by my test.
Yeah - reality is even if I think there's quality journalism worth paying for, subscriptions to those sources often cost $10/mo+, odds are I'm not going to pay for all of them, I'm especially not going to pay for it when it's an article I'm tangentially interested in.

Yet participation in some interesting discussions often hinges on it.

So here I am, pirating more and more of my news... you'd think someone would have managed to fix this by now. If the record labels and movie studios could pull it off, I'd almost think it'd be easier for news people to do so as getting news for free has long been an expectation on the internet.

Ask HN: Is there a chance to prove to Stripe Atlas I really will work in the US?
Hi all! Facing strange problem with Stripe Atlas support, and don't get how to go out from this loop. They have a list of countries they do not support, including Russia. I am Russian but live in the US, have another business (Delaware-based corporation) etc. The new startup has three founders - one currently lives in Russia (relocates to the US soon), second lives in Germany, me, as I told, live in Miami. Stripe thinks that we will do business in Russia, however, we are building a global service aimed at English speaking markets. Exchanging emails for a couple of days, but these guys look like robots - if there are Russian founders, then you will work in Russia, application declined.

Any advice on how to explain them it seems like a racist thing that has nothing to do with their real rules (as we won't work in unsupported countries)?

There is no need. OP seems to imply that there is some kind of inherent fairness built into human governments; as if they are outside the influence of human nature. My assertion contains all of human history; within each of those governments one can find some form of injustice or lack of fairness. OP thinks government it a solution to the woes of privatization - even a casual look at the world and at history will show that neither has given us what we seek.

I'm intrigued. Does the email standard actually include a 'summary' field? If so, why doesn't that still exist?
I feel like I could've easily been one of those people if I had been raised on the tap water from my town, which was absolutely vile (We received a non-zero number of letters over the years from the county or federal government proudly proclaiming, "Good news! The water in your town is no longer dangerously toxic!"). However, my father hated the town water so much that he paid for gallons of water to be delivered to our house from a cleaner source. A poorer family might not have been able to afford that luxury, and grown up thinking all water tasted like sewage.

I received a lot of ribbing from my friends during childhood for having a water-cooler in our house. But our water tasted good.
Sure, if "whatever you happen to get" is considered fair, then you're always OK.

But the danger of - "I don't complain excessively so it's OK to whoever complains most" is that by gradually pealing off "excess" complainers, you'll get to a point where no can complain to any degree, people fear to complain about even wholly inadequate products for fear of getting on lists, etc.

I'm pretty sure the kind of rejection doesn't matter on this.

http://web.mst.edu/~lmhall/WhatToDoWhenTrisectorComes.pdf is a fascinating read on this.

I suspect that a sound mind will deal with most kinds of rejection well, but an unsound one will deal with none of them well.

Words are cheap.
Yeah exactly. I see it as a form of QA. It's not serious if discovered early, but I've come across times when there was some new dependency I didn't have, forcing me to google how to install it. So then I tell the team and someone will update the docs.

Basically, if only the people who wrote something can compile/execute it, it isn't done.
If the feed algorithm surfaces it to them. I’d wager many social media users only consume content though the feed and not by going directly to people’s profiles to see what they’re up to, so may never see everything.

Mileage varies; I like the new one better.
I like your attitude. It feels like the appropriate way to explore in the mysteries of Nature. I've only spent maybe dozens of hours thinking about prime numbers myself over the years and I just can't shake the feeling that the only way to do what you're trying is with fantastical computers containing practically infinite bits and run all the calculations in parallel. But that doesn't detract, I think, from the fun of trying to think of tricks to pass the time.
"Natural flavors" is in seltzer water with 0 sugar. It is also advertised to have "no artificial sweeteners", which I realize might be bending the truth somehow, but I'm pretty sure food and drink companies can't outright lie about that stuff. From what I've gathered it doesn't affect insulin levels like the artificial sweeteners from diet soda does, but I also can't figure out what it actually is.

Side-note: sugar after a workout is the best time for sugar. You want to replenish muscle-glycogen as soon as possible and sugar is a fast track to that. Obviously you should opt for fruit over a Gatorade or sweets though.
When my wife was in college we had a tiny apt-owned convenience store in our parking lot of our apt. It was really really small. The milk was from a local dairy and was priced as low as any grocery store. Eggs were an okay price. Most everything else was very expensive. But it was the best. "Oh, we're out of milk... be back in 2 minutes..."
There’s only so many hours in a day. The time you wasted coding could be spent much more productively doing your actual job which is managing.
The first person to paint true to life peasants was Pieter Bruegel. Until the renaissance people painted for kings, queens and the church. Bruegel is therefore an excellent source for being able to determine if this story is true.

If you look at his paintings then only the men are carrying knives. None of the women are. Why is this and can someone prove me wrong? I am not that familiar with his work and have not checked everything he painted yet I have not seen women with knives in his art.
People judge you until it's useful. If I received a dime whenever I've used my pocket knife to cut steaks when everyone had only picnic plastic knifes I would be rich by now.
I'm not a fan of time tracking, but I like current subscription models like Patreon or Youtube's even less.

There's about 30 content creators I'd like to support, but in no way I'd pay $5 each, which is the standard contribution proposed by e.g. Youtube. In fact, I'm not supporting anybody at the moment, except seldomly donating money with Paypal.

I budget my salary every month, and I'd like to give, say $50 a month to the creators I follow. Perhaps in different percentages. Next month I'm more generous, here's $200, please divide it accordingly.

It's easy for us with a decent salary, but many, if not most people I know have $10 to spare. It's about 2 Youtube subscriptions. What to support more people? Get a better job or turn off your ad blocker and give your data and privacy away.

Time tracking might not be optimal, but the killer feature to me is "this is what I have, split it and donate it, even if it's just a few pennies."
source/disclosure: am google employee, didn't walk though

The way it's organized, it's also kind of a social event. Lot of folks didn't just walk out, but went to B40 to specifically walk out there.

They probably saw it as an opportunity to meet others and share thoughts on the topic. Find solidarity and get support
and so are walkouts

> Updating the 'date_password_last_changed' will invalidate all the tokens for a user.

If someone is changing their password because it has potentially been compromised, what is a scenario where you would not want to invalidate all of their existing tokens?
Languages don't work like that. You don't just come up with a definition and try to force everyone to use it. People learn definitions from how they are used and mentioned in the things they encounter.

In reality almost no one is aware that OSI definition exists and those who do can't even remember what it is exactly. So, no, de-facto definition of open source is definitely not an OSI definition, but mostly literal meaning of open source software with most people presuming freely usable software as well to some degree. Take SQLite for example, it's open source, but not OSI open source and everyone is ok with that. Because this is where common meaning is. And trying to claim authority over it just invites bad PR for OSI. I guess OSI is already that irrelevant and it's pretty much consequence free to use a proper common meaning of open source.
Wouldn't it be pretty hard to replace a hard drive or something? Is it really worth the trouble for better cooling?
> It's your responsibility to make sure you trust that entity, and do your due diligence.

What does this entail? I mean, ask the average person if they trust the New York Times, the London Stock Exchange, or Spotify. Those are well-known names - sure we trust them. We trust that, as an organization, they are not plotting to steal our identities.

But trusting them means trusting their business people, their IT people, and their advertising partners, not only to be moral but also to be competent. And whoops, all of them have served malvertising in the past.

Nobody has the time and expertise to evaluate every site's JavaScript every time they visit. The "due diligence" you describe would be a very specialized full-time job.

Whereas turning off JavaScript in the browser takes about 10 seconds.
Reading this made me thirsty, no lie.

Very disappointed with mainstream media coverage here.

The walkout is being headlined as a complaint against harassment. It's not. It's a complaint against the company (rightly so) valuing its corporate reputation in the world in which we live vs standing behind the victims as if they were family, and going medieval (eg excommunication) on the harassers.

Certainly there's a balance and perhaps google is on the wrong side of it, but don't kid yourself, google isn't going to take your insignificant side of it when the other side is a $100MM liability to an executive.

That a walkout like this only happens at Google and not, say, microsoft, where surely sexual harassment also occurs and is also brushed aside, is telling about the employee culture at Google. It's sad that the media coverage is so trivial and can't look deeper.

And to the organizers: you should have recruited tech workers at all FAANG to support this walkout. You missed a moment.
It's my understanding that self storage (and in some places, paid parking) are basically a low up front cost way to break even. It's basically a way to cover your taxes and make a small profit while you hope that land values go up.
