Ahem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthy_user_bias

There are some studies that are coming out that undermine your idea that vegans are inherently healthier, such as the notice that vegetarians appear to have higher rates of cavities than the population at large. If you ask an anthropologist you'll know this is a big deal, because dental health is a great indicator of overall health.

I think all the arguments about the vegetarianism saving the world are bunk, and a convenient reason for us all to not talk about the real issue: oil.

My meat comes from animals that graze on grass, as has been the case for millenia. The millions of buffalo that ran around north America a few centuries ago didn't warm the planet with their farts, so why should properly managed grass fed cows do the same?

On the other hand, what is new is large scale industrial monoculture agriculture. I am dubious to the concept that we can transition the world over to plant based without planting a lot of soy, something that I think is bad.

Side note: we have been managing cattle poorly for years. The proper way is to pen them into relatively tight (but not cramped) portions of the grazing land, and then rotate them from section to section regularly. This mimics the way that herding animals react to predators (cluster up), and gives the grasses time to recover and sequester carbon. It's also far more land efficient than other methods, which is nice.

Edit: it looks like 84% of world wide calories come from plants already. Doesn’t seem to be doing anything to stop global warming to me. Maybe it’s the fact that we’re still using fossil fuels instead?
In the spirit of Twitch Plays Pokemon, I created an interactive app that uses twitch chat to fill out a novel. It's set to pluck a word from the community every 30 seconds and append it to the novel.

Happy to answer any questions about the creation process in the comments here.
"The information gleaned from analyzing these photos does not travel outside of this product — not today. But if I thought we could return immense value to the users based on this data I'm sure we would consider doing that. For instance, if it were possible for Google Photos to figure out that I have a Tesla, and Tesla wanted to alert me to a recall, that would be a service that we would consider offering, with appropriate controls and disclosure to the user."

-- Bradley Horowitz, Google VP of Streams, Photos, and Sharing (2015)

So yes, using info from the photos is definitively on the table. But I doubt they made Photos with a specific income stream in mind; they want to know everything about everything and everyone. The possibilities (for monetization and much more) are tremendously higher when you can leverage the connections between datasets, even if they are kinda lame by themselves.
> This license is only open source in a very obscure interpretation of the word.

It's "open source" in the dead-obvious meaning "the source code is open for inspection". I'd argue it's all of the extra baggage that the OSI have read into the words "open" and "source" that are considerably more obscure. Neither the word "open" nor "source" implies "free for commercial exploitation to all and sundry"
Incorrect, these are not comparable things.

JWTs are a standardized way to securely encode data into a self-contained token. Cookies are special headers added to HTTP requests to store state.

You can absolutely use JWTs as the payload of your cookie. How you pass the session data back and forth is separate from how you encode the session data. Most web frameworks have their own token formats, but you can easily change them to be JWTs.

Using the Authorization header just means you're using a different header, and since it's not automatically sent then you don't have the CSRF issues with browsers, but now you have to manage it more manually in your client-side code.

Regardless of how you encode your tokens, if you want to do instant expiration or other live data lookup then of course you'll need to manage that on your server, whether it's a database, in-memory cache, or something else. The split between where state is managed is irrelevant to the physical transfer and encoding.
A train also has a more horsepower than an SUV, but it can only go back and forth along tracks.

> Much as I try and avoid using Google, I stick with them for the free email and unlimited photo storage.

I'm actually quite fearful of the day when Google will end its generous offer... We often see cloud providers struggling to cope with “unlimited” free plans, perhaps we should take all of them with a grain of salt and rely on local backups precisely to avoid the quasi-extortion that comes when the “unlimited cloud” mantra goes downhill.

That sounds lovely.
I would feel better if they just grandfathered in any existing photos and made the change to all new uploads going forward. I'm generally OK with the reasons behind the move, but having people lose data because they were using the product in a way they were explicitly told was OK to use it at that time leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

> the idea that wild lands and waters are best conserved not in private hands, locked behind gates, but as public national parks, wildlife refuges and marine reserves, forever open for everyone to experience and explore.

This has not been my experience. I happen to live in a area that has seen a handful of new sequestrations in the last 20 years--3 or so in the last 5 years. The result has been to lock the public out. Locations that my family have enjoyed for decades are now off limits.

This is distinct from the military land grabs in Nevada. But it's interesting to see the contrast. After evicting families from their own land to expand Air Force testing grounds, the government has decided they still don't have enough control of Nevada public lands. So they are annexing[0] more than 270,000 acres of wildlife refuge for military use. That's right, "forever open for everyone to experience and explore."

> What are you not convinced about? They were pretty clear that people who use Flickr as a storage space rather than a photography community are not their target audience, and therefor will not be the focus of their efforts and goodwill.

I suspect that the change is more to do with the cost of storage than with re-creating some photographic community that may have existed before 2013. But I'm also happy to be proved wrong.

Yes, I am just using Flickr for storage. And while most of my albums are public, my photographic skills are fairly average compared to many on Flickr, so they are unlikely to be able to monetise my efforts. But I'm not interested in being part of a "photographic community" because, while I enjoy photography, I don't do it to be in a community. And I suspect that they see community participation as basically user-generated content creation, and I'm not into that either.

I'm happy to accept that I'm not a user they can support for free. I like Flickr, wish it well, and am happy to pay for pro.

Wrong move buddy - this is 100% the cause of all the issues you're facing. People smell that, they kind of dislike you. BAD people smell that, they exploit your weakness to the max. There is no upside.

Work on fixing this immediately.

Loop54 | Stockholm | ONSITE | https://loop54.com/

Loop54 is a search engine as-a-service, marketed primarily toward the
small–medium–large segment of the e-commerce market. We can probably achieve
the most relevant results in the world for our client base right now, through
what's fundamentally pretty basic AI techniques[1].

We have a lot of ideas on how to improve the service further – in terms of
relevance, predictability, availability, analysis, usability, and a million
other things. Unfortunately, this will only be possible with additional brains
on deck.

Open roles:

- Backend Developer: We'd like to expand our team with an intelligent,
friendly, and highly skilled backend developer.

- Frontend Developer: We're looking for someone to be an authority on the
entire frontend from concept through design to implementation.
https://careers.loop54.com/jobs/46989-frontend-developer-ana...

[1]: What the AI does for us is let us generalize over visitor behaviour, such that
each individual action is less important, and the general sentiment of the
users is what counts.
Ain't that the sad fucking truth of how people think. This is one of the fallacies of capitalism and consumerism culture. The human ego has grown to levels that exceed the single planet we live on. We have the tools to find new and better sources of meat, it's called lab-grown. A simple yet effective solution, taxing the shit out of real cow meat as well as ocean caught fish would cause huge falls in demand, and would create opportunity to develop the lab grown meat technology to ecologically and economically competitive levels. If eating red meat is actually a higher standard of living, we should treat it as such. It makes no sense that a double cheese burger is cheaper than a salad. The same with driving gas guzzlers, tax that shit to hell. Make it economically painful to consume in those markets which are damaging. That is the purpose of government because markets don't regulate themselves.

Our primitive tendency to frame actions into nature can be fixed with education.

If every human being was more aware of how their actions are effecting the world, which is directly effecting themselves, they would realize their vote does matter and it does make a difference. THAT's the real issue with the world right now. People are burying their heads in the sand. Humanity is more connected than ever before with the internet, yet our disconnect with the world is greater than ever before. Even a small reduction in eating meat by everyone, especially red meat, would have huge impacts on the environment.

We need to reframe what higher standard of living really means.
We use JWT for validating simple handoffs from server to server, allowing someone to briefly access a resources such as downloading a file from a server designed to do that. We set the expiration to only an hour, and JWT is excellent for this use case as it means we don't need to implement our entire login and database workflow on a machine that just serves files.
Right. The fact that iOS is so crippled compared to OSX is putting me off buying one.

CPU architecture I assume is the reason these things cannot run OSX.

It actually says "inequity" which has a different meaning than 'inequality'.
I wrote a scala JWT library on a weekend when I was more of an intermediate developer (6 years ago?) and it started to be used. But I never ran it in production and flaws were found in it. As a consultant 5 years later I found a customer using it and told them to use someone else's :).

I'm not a security expert - one of the strengths is one of the weaknesses - that's it's a simple spec to implement so your average Joe can implement it, but imperfectly.
Thanks for being a customer, and thanks for the feedback. I'll look into whether we can revive this or not. Were you using it to find your own photos, or photos from the community, or... ?

> is anyone here using it in production and really happy with it, where it's like really crushing a use-case?

I've used it in production settings where it was NOT crushing a use case. (A couple small internal HR-related sites that would've been better suited to an RDBMS.) Based on that experience, my impression is that it would take a fairly specific graph-oriented problem to get me seriously thinking about paying the costs associated with something like Neo4J when compared to a traditional RDBMS. (Less mature compared to RDBMS systems, less well understood data model, less common query language, less support from other tooling.... all of which can be quite important to the overall costs of a system.)
> Cookies are special headers added to HTTP requests to store state.

The topic is more about session VS JWT, not cookies vs whatever local storage is used in place of cookies.
If they split up then Tencent and Alibaba would take their place.
There are still plenty of options if you "just want to be able to create albums and put photos in them".

Facebook, Apple Photos, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Photos and Unsplash all do this, with varying trade-offs of cost, quality, and privacy.

The algorithms don't choose badly. They actually choose very well. It's just their optimization function is different -- their optimization goal is more clicks and more ad revenue, not the society's good.
