It's not "better", it solves a materially different problem. The article already acknowledges that if you can afford to, you should just stick a tag on the outside. (That's what JWT does, but the actual thing recommended, just HMAC, is better still, for reasons mentioned elsewhere in the comments.)
Thanks for the input. I was assuming things may have improved since I last used them a few years ago. My experience was similar to what you mentione above, back then. This may save me some time evaluating options for future ventures.
More specifically, throughout history, opportunities that allow those at the bottom to raise their standard of living usually makes the richest richer.

People can only get richer if there is productivity. Simply transferring wealth is not a panacea if it doesn't measurably result in productivity.
I mean in Australia you just can't do this. Burner phones aren't a thing. Prepay is but you have to activate it by providing ID.
Alternatively, I’d like to see companies like Boeing feel the effects of cutting corners recklessly.
Yes I would agree Waymo owns the narrative and a lot of it is based on their disengagement stats. I wouldn't say those tell the whole story.

They are also completely different approaches, i.e. Waymo using LIDAR and Tesla relying on cameras as the primary sensor.

But the major question is can LIDAR _ever_ be financially feasible, and if so can it become feasible faster than camera gets good enough at vision. Right now the sensors on the Waymo van probably cost more than the van itself.

That's either a very expensive purchase for the consumer or a very large amount of cap-ex Waymo would have to put up for a fleet of self-driving taxis.

And if it turns out cameras were the right choice, or visa versa, that means the opposite company would have spent a LOT of their R&D funding on the wrong tech, and would be way behind.
This. The problem is the existence of so many SWAT teams and public tolerance for SWAT tactics like “no-knock warrants”.
So what? Most of the population lives around the coast. Who cares if it’s cheap in flyover states.

And I disagree with you; asking for users to "demand" native apps is a cop-out, because no matter how loudly users scream, nobody cares. Voting with your wallet doesn't work in a non-commodity market; the supplier is in control, and you can only take it or leave it.

> Web apps are easier for users to manage (no installation, no upgrading versions) and instantly cross-platform.

That's true, with a caveat that automated, forced updates are not an universal good - both for companies and individuals they're a source of risk and frequent frustrations.

> Installation is not trivial for a non-technical person, nor an IT manager monitoring and upgrading thousands of PCs and tablets.

This was mostly solved a good decade ago. Hello screen [Next>] accept the TOS without reading [Next>] leave default settings [Next>] uncheck the sneaky toolbar some morally deficient people put in [Next>] wait for install to finish [Done]. Sysadmins had a way to batch-install software in a non-interactive way. And these days, even Windows has a package manager that allows scripted installations.

> The natural revenue models fit because the value is recurring -- the subscription means you constantly have installation, upgrades, and data taken care of as a service.

Disagree. Installation is a one-time service, updates are as often undesired as they're not, and "data taken care of as a service" is bundling in something that should stay separate, in a sneaky attempt to lock the user in and ensure a recurring revenue stream. The case is simple: businesses like recurring revenue; everything else is either facilitating or attempting to justify it.

Turning products into services is one of the most annoying and anticonsumer trends of the current age. I get that business customers like it because of accounting reasons, but it's becoming a problem for everyone else. Next thing you know, you'll have to sign a TOS to use your hairdryer as a service.
Any company that wants to put an MDM on my phone, will have to buy me a second phone.

See, I'm the computer geek in the family, and that means that I'm the family MDM manager. Which means I already have an MDM on my phone, and since you can only ever have one MDM on a mobile device like that, well the conclusion is inevitable.

If they don't want to buy me a second phone, then they're going to have to decide which of those two policies they actually want to enforce.
Mine syncs automatically, but there is no notification sound, only the visual indicator in the status bar. That works for me.
Probably just trying some way to justify the plane, until they can't. The way they slapped the bigger engines onto the old design should not continue. Neither should their complete outsourcing of plane production. Quality counts and they're missing it.
Also, why would they even care about reporting high numbers? Facebook's leadership doesn't have any of the typical business pressures to please investors. Leadership (Zuckerberg) already holds majority voting power, and Facebook is fully self sufficient financially (no concerns about needing to raise more capital at poor prices).
Why is this being downvoted? The only reason FCF was generated was because they had a lot of inventory undelivered that was produced in Q1 that got delivered in Q2 instead. This isn't a sustainable way to generate cash.

There is now $11bn of debt and $4bn of accounts payable on the balance sheet. It's costing not far off $1bn a year to service that debt, plus they are also very reliant on capital markets to roll over this debt every year or so. If there was a significant decline in corporate debt markets and Tesla couldn't roll the debt over, they would be out of cash very quickly (regardless of the losses).
Alternative take:

Tech companies are allowing people to make money where before they couldn't. I was poor once. It would have been freaking awesome to be able to deliver some food or drive someone somewhere to make a couple of bucks, the alternative was sitting around making zero bucks. This sentiment is shared with nearly every Uber driver I speak to about it. They are happy for the opportunity to make money in their spare time.

Technology enabled this and it's a good thing. People who say otherwise probably have never been poor and bereft of any option to make money.

If the plane isn't safe and can't be made safe then it's necessary. Also, the claim that Boeing halting 737 Max production will cause a recession seems like FUD to me.
Excellent point. It's one thing to be in favour of a rising standard of living for everyone - as a right-leaning guy, I can honestly say that I really do want everyone to be able to do more and to live better on this metric.

The problem is viewing things through a lens of equality-as-goal, because it's basically just pushing for a race to the bottom. No place more equal than everyone in the mud.
In practice it's phased in gradually, and that problem doesn't happen much. Here's one look at real data.

"[I]n a new research paper by Doruk Cengiz, Arindrajit Dube, Attila Lindner and Ben Zipperer that looks at data during the period from 1979 to 2016 in 138 U.S. states and regions where minimum pay was increased[, t]he conclusion is that low-wage workers had a pay gain of 7 percent after a minimum-wage law was enacted, but there was little or no change in employment."

The stalks and buttons on the Model 3 can access all of those same features, as well as adjust the follow distance for adaptive cruise control. Climate settings are through the screen, via a fan symbol button in the center. That pops up a temperature selection slider with buttons to increase/decrease the setpoint, and (de)sync the driver/passenger set points. Press the button again, and you get a full screen with more settings (auto-flow vs manual, air stream splitting and direction, etc.)
>I think a fallacy, and this is not aimed at your comment, of intelligent design people is that because humans can't really comprehend the complexity of cells, biodiversity, and life chemistry, that it couldn't have arisen from somewhat basic preconditions and "bioalgorithms".

You're definitely correct that we often apply our mindset onto the world and interpret events according to the model we've made for ourselves. It's hard to be brutally objective and accept the facts, even if it means throwing everything I know out the window. (note, I'm saying this about the meta discussion, not this specific one.)
> mostly because this particular kind of attack didn't exist in such a form in the past

This makes no sense. The "attack" of letting people know who a particular person is has always existed, but applied as an attack only in the very rare case where an exile came to your town and was later exposed. The norm was that everyone already knew exactly who everyone was -- in other words, that everyone was always and automatically subject to exactly the "attack" you claim didn't exist.

The attack of shaming has always existed and has generally been much more serious than it is now.

"And what's living?"

Implicit in most discussions, but frequently left unstated, is the idea that a wage-earner should be able to support several dependents. Obviously how many makes a huge difference in what kind of pay is needed.
This feels more like the issue we had in the 80's, where companies would source from the lowest cost regardless. And then they paid for that in the 90's, NEC is a good example of this. The companies that can improve quality without cutting corners should be the winners. Airbus should really push on their advantage.
It would show up in their metrics as a particular customer (or percentage of customers) never tipping, not a particular driver never getting tipped.

> you may have self-gratified at the expense of not achieving long term things (which often require being momentarily unhappy)

At 43, having achieved a few things that even most people at this relatively high level have not, I wonder if I have not accepted too many times that the delay of gratification, was, in and of itself, evidence that the action would take me further toward my goals. Unfortunately, I don't know any way to learn how to recognize suffering-for-the-sake-of-suffering except by getting caught in those traps now and again. I have read philosophy, law, psychology. It doesn't really seem to have made a difference. Maybe it has and I simply can't perceive the mountain for all the gravel.
You mean surrounding a house with 20 guys with AR-15 rifles, with the right to shoot any moment the persons hands aren’t where various officers yelling at him at the same times wants them to be, isn’t a good deescalation strategy?
Maybe if we want safety first we should be engineering lead, and only have sales/customer desires as inputs that are considered when creating a design that fulfills market needs.

That includes all stages of engineering knowing the big picture, even if they don't happen to be acting upon it, so that there are safety checks possible at every stage of design and implementation.
I can’t be the only one who’s more surprised that they’ve been making new ones this whole time.

It's like listening to someone who lived in Cape Canaveral during the '60s complain that they dislike the whole Apollo program because one of the engineers once left a 5% tip in a local restaurant. Acknowledging that this feeling is irrational doesn't make it a useful HN comment.

Agreed on both accounts. Once I had the means and inclination a couple years back, I began investing in better clothes (re: fabric, construction.)

This is assuming that airbus isn't doing the same things that Boeing was doing....
That's an excellent point, you're of course right and the blog post could do a better job explaining that. I'll amend.
If conditions are basically the same, why does scale make it something we should care about now?
Doordash iirc took the tips out of /every/ transaction not just the initial 5-10 dollars per hour (the difference between minimum wage and tipped minimum wage) like restaurants do so they were profiting from every tip. Restaurants only really get the benefit of the first couple tips given each hour and depending on the restaurant cost, the ratio of servers to tables and the turnover rate the first 2-4 tips of every hour likely cover the difference the restaurant is making with anything else going to the customer (I'd love to have some actual numbers here from servers but the math makes sense). So in general unless it's a slow time your tip probably actually goes to the serving staff instead of just benefiting the restaurant.

Guilds didn’t evolve over protecting wages per se, but as a means to monopolize the supply of their labor by limiting those that could enter their trade. They were a monopoly of labor and similarly motivated by those that had monopolies of steel or the railroads. Guilds were about protecting their business by excluding or marginalizing competition and using their power to further protect their own bottom line from competition.
> I agree psychological tricks can be used by advertising ("one weird trick to...") but it's not a major practice to advertise when they are vulnerable.

That might be a current technical limitation, I'm sure facebook is working on that as we speak. A breakthrough or two in psychology, some improvements in data gathering and crunching, and no user would have a chance against professionals whose job it is to find what exactly to show and when to induce that sale. Humans generally can't exactly install firewalls in their heads and keep it up to date, not against a motivated onslaught.

> can't afford them is this a problem with advertising or people's finical responsibility?

With truly effective persuasion techniques, lines of 'responsibility' will become gray. If you drive through and intersection and somebody shone a bright light and blinded you temporarily, are you responsible for the accident? If you go about your day and somebody distracted you while their partner pick-pocketed your wallet, are you responsible for not guarding your valuables? If herbalife salesman cornered you in a coffee shop and (using half-truths, exaggerations, outrageous promises, pushing on your greed and confusion, social proofs and other sales-fu) sold you a garage-full of product, are you responsible of that mistake?

Um, I was going to create a series of less and less clear-cut examples, but run out of imagination, hopefully idea is legible.

> It seems there are businesses that are bad (or you don't agree with), but you are projecting advertising as the root of the problem.

I'm sure I was imagining worst examples when writing that, but incentives mostly push towards selling more of the stuff you make, regardless of its effect, even for benign businesses. There are exceptions I'm sure, but I expect they are driven by external forces -- regulations, owner's direction that is not profit related, etc.

In presence of truly effective ad tech and barring any friction (like regulation, social blowback, etc), actors who use it will eat those who don't. Markets are red in tooth and nail.

Does consciousness itself suffer from intractability similar to Gödel's incompleteness theorems? Is there a consistent set of axioms that can even include all the truths about what we mean when we say "consciousness"? If so, can we go further and use consciousness to actually fully enumerate all the interactions necessary for it or all the implications of it from within a conscious system?

> Is mung beans, rice, and a shared room in a house "living" enough or does everyone need their full maximized-carbon-footprint atomized solo lifestyle in order to "live"?

That is the straw man fallacy. You moved the post from a discussion about fair salaries to one about everybody sharing the same house and eating only beans and rice.

The question is if delivery drivers should have a fair salary that allows them to have a decent life.

Do you agree that "delivery drivers" should get a fair salary that allows them to have a decent life?

> Another variety of "fair" that seems to be gaining mindshare is the idea that you deserve a "living wage" for literally any full-time job, which is a new idea unsubstantiated by economic reality.

I mean this one, that is why I said: " that allows them to have a decent life.".

> unsubstantiated by economic reality

The opposite is true. More equal societies have higher economic output. Reducing poverty reduces crime, reduces health care costs, etc. Even better makes people's lives better. So, it is a positive feedback loop.
100 years ago we didn't even have penicillin. I think you're vastly underestimating the amount of technological progress made in the last century. For most of humanity, life has never been better.

My (conspiratorial) take is that they’re making noises about this so that politicians can step in and pressure the FAA into approving their modifications. Talking about blue-collar job losses and economic impacts has the amazing effect of cutting through politicians’ radar on both sides of the aisle.
> which we can't get at using normal, scientific, physical observations of the world

Why? This would make it unusual compared to every other process in biology and everything we actually do know about consciousness. We know that most of the faculties we subjectively attribute to the conscious experience are rooted in physical biology (reasoning, instinct, emotion, memory etc), so I am not sure what the possibility of a non-physical component adds to the model.
There's also the issue of what level of impact man has had, or can have moving forward. Of course, a lot of the actions suggested and proposed won't have meaningful impact or will overburden societies with even more minimal impact... Or a Socialism program named an environment program.

No air freight shipping. Work weeks limited to 4 days a week for employees, and stiff tax penalties for employers with employees with longer work weeks. Those two would be more of an impact than replacing all the straws and several other options being explored with minimal real impact. Forcing farmers to rotate the grazing lands for their livestock as well as addition grass seeding, watering and planting of trees. Fines for local power companies that effectively block home generated power. Higher taxes on regions using Fossil fuels for electricity generation. Makers/sellers of electrical equipment must be built to last at least 10 years under a full, no cost warranty. Makers of computing devices no longer receiving security updates within the first 10 years must release the source and appropriate keys for users to self-maintain their devices. All electrical devices with a battery must be user serviceable.

I'm not really a fan of raising taxes... but it wouldn't take much for significant impact.
