Additionally, any true System V UNIX like IRIX and HP-UX will have it.

How about transparency of medical records - i.e. if I provide some credentials, can I definitively get a copy of my medical history so that I can easily take it with me to another country/hospital?

By definitively I mean within some federal regulation or system that doesn't depend on an employee at a particular hospital getting around to it on their coffee break.
I use emacs and vim quite rarely, only when I see potential benefit of it. Both have some amazing features but also seems to be locked in stone age on IT. In my opinion this is most deterring for new user - not "steep learning curve". I wonder why they refuse to open their eyes to current (or at least 2000's) state of technology. They cling to ancient foundation of their programs as something unmovable and unchangeable. This just looks like appeal to tradition. Or they are total nerds that don't care about reality ;-)

JWT is fine if "revoke" isn't in your vocabulary for the service. If you do need to revoke tokens, JWT becomes a racey contraption that requires synchronizing and looking up state on every request, the avoidance of which was the main reason to use JWT in the first place.
Rust can force a programmer to be disciplined and that's good as far as it goes, but sadly no current language can force (or even encourage) a programmer to think critically at an architectural level. Indisciplined coding leads to security issues (at least immediately), but a poor architecture can mean a complete failure of the project to meet its goals, never mind exceeding them.

No, there are several common arguments against JWT for session tokens. The major one intrinsic to JWT is that it has no system of revocation. Thus instead of using a turnkey solution you need to add an additional layer of state logic to your authentication code if you want to be able to revoke tokens.

It is also correct that JWT 1) supports far more cryptography than is necessary; and 2) supports weak cryptography. You can do better than JWT for session management security and performance merely by generating pseudorandom tokens, associating them to sessions and performing lookups.

More generally speaking: signed, stateless tokens are attractive for a variety of technical reasons. They have legitimate uses. But it's typically a poor security decision to choose them in lieu of revocation, for reasons which are mostly uncontroversial among those who work in security.
They are not against change, but someone has to do the work and it's a pretty big job rewriting the display internals.

Also, it has to support terminals and various OSs, so it's not like it's only the matter of slapping a graphical UI on it.

Not really - this is a different issue : generic problems vs out of the box behaviour.

I expect Bluetooth to work out of the box on a Lenovo laptop in 2018, while I don't expect Linux to work well at all. I've been using linux since 1996, and things haven't changed : unless hardware makers start supporting it natively, we'll always have problems.

Now, I may be very wrong on the windows side of things : I expect it to work, but maybe it doesn't!
It would certainly be a good start.

In fact, the US could improve a lot of basic services if it looked at what other developed countries (OECD) are delivering, and for how much, and made those targets for the next lets say ~10 years.

After those 10 years of bringing the US more into line with the best countries in the world, it should strive to do even better.

Or, alternatively, the US can keep falling further behind.
I take issue with this headline. Hospital prices are already, by law, public in the US. The new rule makes it required to post them online, whereas previously you might have to call/email the hospital to get the price list rather than looking at their website.

This is an important distinction, IMO, because I have seen people saying that this is an important step because "insurance/patients can now negotiate easier with a set price list". The issue with this is that, like mentioned above, the public has already had access to these price lists, so this new rule changes nothing in that regard.

The new rule might make it easier for insurance companies or those collecting pricing information to scrape the price data from the hospitals' websites, which is a good thing, but overall I think this new rule is being overblown in terms of the actual impact it will have.
It's a common practice to add expiry timestamp for such tokens so each token will expire after certain interval.

"Whether they wrote"

My point is that you said they did. If they actually did not, then it comes across like you are putting words into their mouth. Do you see how this comes across as part of a criticism which says they themselves are over-interpreting the data?

"it seemed to me"

And it seemed to me it was an outright racist statement. Even if somehow it was not, it was definitely an own-goal given the heavy scrutiny he faces. I cannot conceive of how anyone would think those phrases would result in useful, effective, or even interpretable irony or sarcasm.

It's like the justification, after someone has made a horribly racist, bigoted, sexist, or otherwise insensitive statement that "it was only a joke" - where is the humor? Furthermore, people do use "jokes" as a way to test the water; a 'trial balloon'.

Since you don't think he's racist, then in the context of a thread on his seemingly racist statements, would it not be appropriate to address the topic at hand, rather than simply say that you don't think he's a racist?

"I wanted to point out that the SPLC is not an honest or trustworthy source."

Then you should have said so outright. Your previous statement only said that you didn't think there was enough information to conclude that he is a racist. I agree, the SPLC doesn't provide enough information to make that conclusion. But that wasn't their claim, nor did you say anything beyond their analysis of this one situation.

To restate your own words: "I don't really care to defend [the SPLC] and don't watch/listen to most of any of the content [they produce]. I do follow [others who do], and from what I've gathered, while certainly [more sensitive than I am and not immune to error], [they are not unusually dishonest or untrustworthy]."
Since it's in the healthcare space, have you considered hiring a consulting team? Or at least a firm? What other Hacker News readers use for authentication is largely irrelevant since we don't usually work on HIPAA-compliant applications.
I can elaborate a tiny bit. It's been mostly a rocky road in library development as well as some confusion in the jwt specification. Basically the JWT spec is poorly designed for lay-programmer use and some folks are implementing the spec wrongly or are just configuring their systems that use properly-implemented libraries in dangerous ways. For instance you need to choose the algorithm carefully and then be careful not to accept any other specified algos as it can cause some interesting attacks (specifying symmetric algorithm when the token was meant for asymmetric ones can lead to valid signing using the public key if the system allows it). Also Technically a user can specify a "None" algorithm that doesn't do payload verification, which tbh all backends SHOULD drop tokens specifying this.

JWTs as bearer tokens aren't bad in their own right, but if you aren't careful you can screw yourself and therefore many security experts avoid them for use in securing systems. Plus a lot of people mistake it for an encrypted token which it isn't. You can imagine how bad that can get.

Tbh I'm with the parent commenter. I avoid them, but if you avoid common pitfalls they should work for your system no problem.

I'm on mobile and can't be arsed to gather sources, but you can search the claims I made and you'll see several articles about these problems. There's even a defcon talk about a new proposed standard (called Paseto I think) that starts by highlighting the major issues with JOSE and JWT specifically.
The talking heads may revolt but I see no 1st Amendment issue here. A privately-owned property may police its content as it sees fit.

I would make the same claim about players kneeling during the Anthem in an NFL game. To me, that stage (field) is a workplace and neither owned nor managed by the players. They have no right to kneel there.

In both cases, the protesters have every right to leave the platform and start their own. Of course, various extra-legal downsides may ensue from hard-edged prohibitions by the owners -- not the least of which is alienation of the workforce and/or customers.

IANAL but I wonder though at what point the policing content provider loses any Safe Harbor protections that it may have held. For example, would the portal become liable for some criminal activity that they miss?
This is in no way to detract from your analysis, but Air France wasn't instrument error, it was really pilot error.

The instrument malfunctioned, but one pilot was pulling a lever up, while another pilot was pulling another lever down. This generated a stall. It could have been avoided if the cabin was more well lit, so that the pilot making the error could have been visually seen to be making the mistake.
9 tips for a successful social media marketing strategy
If you look at the actual household income in various countries, as opposed to the GDP, which doesn't always track household income as well for many OECD countries, it turns out that the US has pretty much the healthcare consumption expected for its average household income: https://randomcriticalanalysis.com/2018/11/19/why-everything.... Based on this analysis, I think the primary issue with US healthcare is the fact that people, especially with bad insurance, can be wiped out due to medical debt. On the other hand, even countries that have tried to control their healthcare costs have generally failed to make much impact.

In all OECD countries, unfortunately, healthcare spending doesn't seem to be especially correlated with increased lifespace.
I don't have an example to hand, so it's obvious I went on second-hand accounts. Do you have something you'd normally point customers to when describing the tradeoffs?

For myself I see the argument for fewer clusters as about utilisation, the argument for more clusters about isolation. It's the oldest tug-of-war in computing. I think that shared node pools for multiple masters is going to be the combination that for most workloads will increase utilisation without greatly weakening isolation. I don't think multi-tenancy in the master will be as easily achieved or as effective.
There are so many simple solutions to this it's not even a challenge. Here's some simple ones:

1. If you want to make more than ~5k calls per month from a number, you must deposit $50,000 for every 10k calls you wish to make. If your number gets reported more than some cutoff number of times, you forfeit this bond money.

2. Call throttling. As a certain number (or customer) makes more calls, the interval between calls is increase. Let's say something like after 5k calls per month you must wait 5 seconds between calls, with the interval increasing.

Full disclosure, I worked at a telco for 4 years, but didn't do a lot with basic telephony.
This is seriously the dumbest comment.

How does anyone think actual leftists support centrist liberal billionaires? I’m guessing you were educated in the US (just so you know there are more than 2 possible political positions).
That's dandy, but it's a solution which is neither standardized nor native to JWT. It's also a weak, passive form of revocation instead of a robust, active form. How do do you revoke a token prior to timestamp expiry?

In 2018 it is fully possible to use authentication libraries which natively support granular control for things like revocation using strong, turnkey cryptography. I would argue most people who think they should be using stateless and signed sessions for e.g. performance are heavily discounting the revocation liability and neglecting to optimize their lookups sufficiently (such as by caching).

Same goes for any signed token scheme. You can still revoke JWTs if you give them an ID and keep a revoke list somewhere. Though as you said most use these to avoid datastore lookups. It's a trade off. Either time-limit signed tokens that can't be revoked with benefit of no lookups or implement revokation.
This could also be due to people in the US simply seeking more care than in other countries.
Sorry, that's my point. They were motivated by money and not some deep underlying passion for payment processing, meaning there's no way Stripe would be what it is in a world where they could only make $10 million each from it.

Why do all API development tutorials always say "Never roll out your own custom auth"? I always found it weird
I don't mean to imply it's impossible, or throw out some appeal to authority, but dabbling in ML is not going to open doors for you. I worked in and around the field for more than a decade. Companies who are serious about this stuff can sniff a beginner out and they tend to want credentials.

What I think you're missing is that ML is becomeing accessible to organizations WAY outside the sphere you're referring to. In the not-too-distant future, "Bob's Small Engine Repair and Screen Doors" will want to take advantage of ML / Data Science / AI. And it may well be the case that all they need is somebody that can implement Linear Regression or K-Means using SK-Learn, or using a cloud ML API.

And larger organizations will always have room for people with varying levels of skill, especially as demand for the most highly skilled people outstrips the available supply.

and knowing how to throw a classifier together does not in any way mean you're competent and able to solve hard problems.

Not everybody is solving a "hard problem". By way of analogy... if your car has a broken connecting rod, you need to take it to a mechanic who knows how to pull an engine, tear it down, rebuild it from scratch and put everything back together. If you have a bad O2 sensor, that work can be done by somebody much less knowledgeable. If you need the oil changed, that can be done by somebody even less knowledgeable still. Or to use a different analogy, you don't need a neurosurgeon to cut out an ingrown toenail. Use the right person for the job at hand.
