Can you elaborate on how they "misuse" them? I don't have any familiarity with those two companies, generally curious. Thanks.

We’ve been going back and forth like this for quite a while, so at this point I doubt I’ll be able to convince you with further explanation. I’m shocked you think it’s “ivory tower nitpicking stated disingenuously” to call stateful tracking of nonces what it is - “stateful.”

I’ll recuse myself from further “nitpicking” I suppose, because this isn’t going anywhere. If you’re interested in actually following why your suggestions are a poor fit for session authentication, I’ll direct you to this flowchart: http://cryto.net/%7Ejoepie91/blog/2016/06/19/stop-using-jwt-....
Tumblr was the last platform that actually respected my creative choices for compression of my work and gave me full control over how my work was presented.

Now people are acting as if Tumblr is over and yet again the so called solution is to move your work to Instagram or Twitter.

Why is the “solution” always to move to platforms with little to no respect for your actual work there. I’m tired of stressing over how an image/video looks only to upload it to social media and have it covered in a JPEG Vaseline smear.

This is before I bring up how far these networks also go in trying to keep me from just dragging content out of their site and to my desktop

The difference that means I have less problems providing "free" work to Wikipedia is the open license that means others can reuse it freely. I hope Tawanda will upload all his images to one of the two open sites mentioned in this discussion as well.
This is the one that I like the best if manual human review doesn't work for your use case.

Set a reasonable time period (a month seems like really long, I was thinking more along the lines of a week), use every piece of information you have to attempt to alert the user multiple times that a reset is happening (email, text, in-app alerts, etc...), make sure that each "alert" gives the user a one-click way of stopping the reset, and when the reset is successful, delete all information that is easily replaceable (like saved credit cards or addresses, or as much personal information that you can get rid of).
In fact they find SUCH a difference between "pet" animals and "farm" animals that we ban horse, dog, and cat meat for human consumption. Because you shouldn't eat cute things or something.
A service I use requires me to resubmit my identification every year. Interestingly they do not allow scanned images. It must be a photo of the credential.

In another thread here users reported success in sending Facebook IDs that have been photoshopped.

We first all need to agree on how we will authenticate government IDs before we can trust them.
FreeBSD Update is doing something it was never designed for. I wrote it as a tool for security updates -- which inherently affect just a handful of files --and have a number of paranoid checks in it, in order that it can be safely run blindly.

We needed a tool for upgrading between releases, and I was able to hack that into FreeBSD Update, but I didn't change the fundamental design. At this point, we're all waiting for pkgbase so there's no reason to revisit the design now.

I had it for all of five minutes and during those few minutes I found it very bizarre.

My first instinct was to scroll vertically, but doing so resulted in a behaviour akin to scroll-jacking on the web that is oft met with disdain. It first tried to get me to scroll horizontally (fine, on the first run, in order to teach me the new behaviour), but then it broke down the vertical scrolling into different subsections –photo, comments, more comments– that was highly unnatural.

Further, the horizontal scrolling didn't facilitate the fast-scrolling that I'm used to on the feed, which is helpful in finding a particular post, or when trying to quickly skip over posts I found uninteresting. Instead, it restricted scrolling to one-post-at-a-time.

I feel it was a big mistake to replace the smooth, natural vertical scrolling that comes for free on mobile devices.
I tried out SDF when I wanted to give someone some basic intros to how to use the shell and do shell scripting, and was looking around for something that provided some kind of free shell access.

The problem is, unless you donate or find someone to sponsor you, you don't actually get shell access; you get some very limited BBS functionality. And even once you do donate to get the basic access level, there are a number of basic programs (like Python and a C compiler) that aren't executable without getting a higher access level.

I wound up installing my own local version of pkgsrc in my home directory just to see if I could use that work around the issue, but that's not really a good option for the "teach someone how to use a Unix shell" use case.

It's easier to just spin up a free tier VM on one of the cloud providers than it is to use the "Public Access Unix" on SDF.

Actually this is for any definitional of "safe". The important part is codomain vs range. As long as the target language allows source language invariants to be preserved (by explicit proof or by construction (proof in meta theory)), I'd call it sugar.

This doesn't obviously match with Felleisen's notion of expressitivity (which might be used to draw the line between desugaring and general compilation), but I think I like it better. I value invariants over expressiveness.
Three facts.

1. Most of Japanese people have exactly zero interest about whaling.

2. Nor they do not understand why western people get so upset about it. ("What's so different with, say, tuna fishing?")

3. Anti-whaling protesters (e.g. Sea Shepherd) are really worsening the situation. Their "activism" (like stealing whale meats) is perceived as, at best, stupid.

This is really a communication problem, guys. Whaling could have been ended many years ago, if no one made such a big deal out of it.
So if I can't speak the language of my torturer, my suffering rightly has no meaning to them?
That is one of the stupidest parts of all about this whole affair, nobody even wants whale meat in Japan, so the entire thing is just a senseless stunt.
It sounded spot on to me, at least in terms of the kind of "debate" seen on news stations.
Not too much of a conspiracy theory.

What’s ironic (?) is that by mismanaging a scheme to get everyone on private insurance they’re really working towards socialized insurance. Which good or bad, there is no going away from once you have it.
Keep in mind that any similarity measure is mapping a high dimensional space onto a one dimensional space. The volume of vectors within a cosine of another vector is an N dimensional cone with volume rapidly decaying towards 0 for N > 5 (assuming positive cosine). Therefore cosine is not a particularly good metric in high dimensional spaces.
Law enforcement agencies can (and do) purchase ad targeting profile data, and can also force warrantless searches of commercial databases, at least in the US.

They also can legally (and do) intercept things like backup replication streams of the big providers (they did this to yahoo years ago, for example).

My rule of thumb is that if any big consumer cloud service has it, then law enforcement does too.

Since the data is gathered using gray-area / illegal techniques, it will never be used in legitimate ways in court, which means it will only ever be used to further violate the rights of private citizens.
Our lives and laws are necessarily filled with quasi-arbitrary lines and conventions. What is the age of consent for marriage? What threshold of blood-alcohol is too much to drive a motor vehicle? When is someone considered dead?

Where do you personally draw the line? I'm not trying to be adversarial, just trying to understand how cogent your argument is.

I think the race argument is a bit reductio ad adsurdum. Why is that any different than if you decide to only eat plants? That draws the line at the kingdom classification which is just another human convention. Drawing the line between species seems to have some logic to it at least, given there is a stronger biological definition rather than a contrived race argument. (e.g., we can strictly define a species, in part, by their ability to produce viable offspring)

I believe the important distinction is not whether or not pigs and cows are sentient/language capable. Instead the real question is can they suffer. And if they can is it acceptable to cause that suffering simply for entertainment value?

Ask yourself if dog fighting is acceptable. That is clearly animal suffering for purely entertainment purposes. If you live in a situation where you can survive and thrive without eating meat, how is eating meat any different than watching dog fighting? It’s animal suffering for enjoyment purposes.

Unfortunately, Google Photos. It's very convenient, but there's this background fear that if my account gets unexpectedly closed, as it happens with Google, there would be no way to recover my photos.

I try to download the Photos data regularly via their takeout tool, but the process is cumbersome. I wish there was an automated way of doing that. I'd even pay for that.

I moved from Gmail to Fastmail, but I still haven't found a good replacement for Google Photos.

Truth about side-projects is most never get to the finish line. I'd like to encourage you to get there, and for that, you'll need to use a third party for auth, at least till you finish your API and seek feedback/scale. You can always roll your own after you've validated the viability of your API.

>Why is a horse better than a pig?

I never knew this before reading this article(1), but a pig was put on trial. It ate off a kid's face. Was tried and hanged.

They lived among humans, eating our garbage and feces, and the occasional human or corpse, earning them a bad reputation.

Still is no comparison to what humans have done to them, and continue to.

I personally try not to eat them, in paeticular.

Seems strange to call it a "zero-battery-use fridge" and then follow it with
"It ties into the typical offfgrid system of a solar charge controller, battery bank, and photovoltaic panels"
> Using a supercapacitor to provide power while shutting down on loss of solar power, instead of the current few minutes of use of batteries.

I wonder why this is necessary. I've also seen it mentioned in the wiki, but no explanation.

Isn't a compressor the only electrical thing in a fridge? I know you must be careful with leaving some time between restarts, but why can't you just shut it down immediately on power loss?
Whether or not you believe that, there's also the objection about conservation: whales are definitely dwindling and those fishing them are making no efforts to renew them, and people don't like eating them anyway, so why not focus that attention on animals we've domesticated?

It doesn't have to be about suffering or intelligence specifically to still be objectionable to hunt whales.
Nice overview. My eye caught one bug: the code for ”iterates over a list of items, using a closure to print the index and contents of each item” is buggy in both examples; it will print incorrect index values if the list contains duplicates.

It also is inefficient, searching the list for every value in the list, turning an O(n) algorithm in O(n²).

It’s easy to prevent that by just keeping track of the index value, increasing it in the lambda. That”s ugly, but both faster and correct.

In Swift, you can do better by using enumerated() (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/array/168783...). Chances are Dart has a similar construct.

(Yes, I know that’s not what is being discussed in that section, but people will copy-paste that code and learn incorrect patterns from it. To prevent introducing two concepts in one example, I would change the example to just print the items, and add an item on the use of enumerated)

> “My tattoos are a part of my persona and identity,” Mr. James wrote in a declaration of support for Take-Two and 2K Games. “If I am not shown with my tattoos, it wouldn’t really be a depiction of me.”

It comes down to how realistic you want the game to be. With games that pitch themselves as the pinnacle of being realistic with improvements made every year, not having the correct tattoos would break the realism. Especially when the most important athlete of his sports generation says that too.
> The big objection to JWT is that it's a bearer token with no revocation support.

That statement is not true. JWT do support revocation. In short, servers are free to reject any token, which triggers a token refresh on the client-side. Token revocation is even an intrinsic aspect of JWT as they suport issue and expiry timestamps, along with a nonce to avoid replay attacks.

It seems some users have an axe to grind regarding the idea of having to keep track of some tokens that were poorly designed (i.e., absurdly long expiry dates without a nonce) but the solution quite obviously is to not misuse the technology. In the very least, if a developer feels compelled to use a broken bearer token scheme that does not expire tokens based on issue date then quite obviously he needs to keep a scratchpad database of blacklisted tokens to compensate for that design mistake.
Mostly agreed.

The big issue with off-the-shelf AC fridges is the current draw required for them to start.

If you want to go completely zero-battery, you’ll need to highly-oversized your PV array just to handle the 1-2 second inrush starting current.

Or devise a slow-start function, overriding the AC flow to the compressor. So instead of starting at 60hz, you would start at 1, then 2, then 3hz, etc.

I guess OP means they could add a fridge to their off-grid setup without changing their existing battery budget for their other needs.
Garbage in, garbage out. More things change, more they stay the same.
Even then a backup code like that isn't going to work in all cases.

This is the same issue that electronic/cryptographic voting schemes run into.

You can't in many cases just tell your user "too bad you lost the code", you need a way for a user who has lost everything to get back in.

Shit happens, theft, floods, fires, other natural disasters, etc... And in those cases it's somewhat common for the user to lose their phone (with the 2nd factor app on it), as well as their backup codes.

Sure, a game might be able to get away with saying "sorry, you lost your 2fa and backup, so you are SOL" (the user won't be happy, but it's not the end of the world), but for a bank account? For a utility company? For your email account? Telling the user "so sorry you are fucked" is a very bad thing, and could even be illegal in some cases.

Forcing the user to verify that they printed it out and saved it can help cut down on the number of reset requests, but it won't completely solve the problem. You still need a way for someone who has lost everything to get the account back.

I think a better way to state the premise more reasonably is to say that you don't get to engage in hunting/harvesting practices that risk extinction of the species. That is a position that can be logically consistent with both claims "Farming domesticated animals is okay" and "Whaling is a practice that should be heavily regulated with careful quotas"
Random iPhone snapshots stay in iCloud and end up on Google (when I remember to open the app). I don’t really care about them after sharing on social media.

I own a small photography business. Anything I really care about—almost everything captured on my DSLR or drone—starts life in Lightroom. After images are edited, and uploaded to appropriate online sites (e.g. Flickr), they are moved to an external 2TB drive.

The external drive is cloned to a separate drive to ensure I have a physical backup. My laptop and the primary external drive are backed up to CrashPlan.

It cost me $2700 to learn that one physical backup is not enough. When I bought my two drives a few years ago, they cost $99 each. That’s nothing relative to the value of my time/work.

The SDF system was created at a time (1987) when accessing to a timesharing Unix system was a rarity for the majority of PC users who's outside of an institution, thus "Public Access Unix System".

At that time, the creation of a public minicomputer running Unix, which you can telnet into was groundbreaking. And in the late 90s when the WWW was taking off, it offered a wide ranges of community services, including a shell, access to newsgroups, Gopher, E-mail, IRC, and being an ISP with dial-up and DSL network connection, that served as a great platform to your online presence.

The time has changed and today it doesn't have the significance that it was. Running a system by yourself or renting a virtual server makes more sense.

Although SDF itself is still a good community, and now has a Minecraft server and a Mastodon server in addition to the technical BBS.
None of your statements strengthen your argument. Many people also love it when other people are forced to work for them for free and it was the basis of the economic systems of many societies for centuries. Yet somehow we've managed to survive and thrive without large scale slavery.

As to your comment on India, no one is arguing that meat doesn't taste good or that most people don't like to eat it. But whether the number is 300 million or 500 million, clearly meat isn't necessary for a balanced diet, and no one seriously disputes this.
Think that a provider gets that billing cycle as well. Every patient that has insurance means the provider needs to collect from 2 different agencies: through the credit card in a copay and through the insurance, that fights the price.
