The author says one of the selling points of JWT is scale, and points out many will not need to concern themselves with scale and to stick with simple solutions.

They're not even good for API tokens. There are valid use cases for storing data in a signed client-side token, but if you're going to do that then don't choose JWT as your serialization format - there have been too many alg:none or other issues. Just do hmac-sha256(data, secret) instead.

Lets wait a few years and see how this actually plays out.
Remember "open source" is an ambiguous term, which is why RMS explains and carefully defines free software and other terms.

"The terms “free software” and “open source” stand for almost the same range of programs. However, they say deeply different things about those programs, based on different values. The free software movement campaigns for freedom for the users of computing; it is a movement for freedom and justice. By contrast, the open source idea values mainly practical advantage and does not campaign for principles. This is why we do not agree with open source, and do not use that term."

Got to be a scam right? I'm currently googling for how I can buy puts for this coin.

I also noticed that one of the talking heads in the linked video says that "It's not about the token, it's about the platform that the token is apart of. It's about the apps that can be built on this platform." Okay, what are the apps that can be built on this? Heck, what's the best app that's been built on Ethereum?
It's the first sentence:

You can't produce more land, so there is no marginal cost - and art is literally not competitive - what makes art "art" is that it's unique.
I grew up in that era as well - but I realised it doesn't matter. I used to have compile my own kernels and fumble around with downloading and installing the nVidia drivers, and now my distro deals with that for me. I can go look if I want to, but I don't need to.

And you know what, it's better that way. The tech scene and civilisation moves forward because those abstractions lets us achieve more with the same amount of time.

I fully embrace that notion that one of the problems of the well polished machines is that access to the underlying layers is actively blocked. I think this is a very real problem.

However, if you want to learn programming, electronics, operating systems or any other level of the stack there is a plethora of options available to you. Most people simply have other interests.

I read a lot of articles about the pandemic but this one goes directly to my pile of BS...

> While there is a clear public benefit from identifying and isolating positive cases, individual patients gain little or no private benefit.

Maybe it is time to think more about the society we live in rather than always thinking "Me, myself, and I", no? This selfishness everywhere and in the US in particular keeps shocking me all the time!

Nobody never claimed that contract tracing was the only way to slow down and eventually stop this pandemic. It is one weapon among many that countries should deploy to fight it. It has, of course, its advantaged and drawbacks, and I can't agree more that concerns about privacy are real but the examples given are really bad faith such as

> it may be much harder to admit that they attended a private dinner party.

Well... if you breached lockdown restrictions, I can imagine that you feel a bit annoyed to share this information but it is not the contact tracer to judge what you have done. It happened so let's share the information to eventually avoid someone else to suffer because of you (mistake or not).

The concept of defense in depth (gruyere style!) is not only for a war or the IT world, it can be applied to fight COVID-19 too. Vaccines, quarantines, testing, contact tracing, self-isolation, masks, social distancing, reduction of risky behaviours, etc ... they all help so claiming that because this way is not perfect it is futile to use it is really silly.

> It might be useful in slowing the spread of the epidemic in areas where hospital resources are at risk of congestion.

Are they not at risk everywhere??

Finally,

> even a successful contact tracing effort leaves most of the population vulnerable to future infection by SARS-CoV-2.

I have heard this numerous time and it is an incredibly short-term view IMO... More and more papers report about long COVID for a non negligeable % of patients so I personally prefer to live in a country like NZ where we fought/fight/will fight to keep the virus out until we got vaccines/treatment rather than targetting a potential herd immunity.

Don't know about your specific claims, but I also had the same reaction.

I get why they're doing this, but this sucks for me. It's going to permanently and unfixably break browser extensions that work on the DOM, for these docs. In particular, I am learning Japanese and use Rikaikun/Rikaichamp to get kanji definitions/readings on hover.

I don't see this getting fixed in the extension, since it would involve having a completely separate brittle path just for Docs. I may end up having to switch to an alternative platform for document sharing, at least some of the time.

True, but if the companies already have good brand recognition, then a label change shouldn't affect their current sales. I'm sure the marketing teams will come up with something to assist with new customers.

>Bitcoin works remarkably well for shady activities. Ransomware payments, human trafficking, blackmarket dealing, drug smuggling, money laundering, and other illegal activities are worth mentioning.

Not really. Leaving a permanant transaction history of one's crimes in the hands of multiple 3rd parties potentially for thousands of years doesn't work out too well if anyone is interested in prosecuting said crimes in the future.

Sort of. The miner pools have a lot invested in special-purpose hardware. It's not clear what would happen if people tried to make a change miners weren't interested in. Yes, you can threaten a hard fork, but angry miners could freeze transactions, revealing how not-so-decentralized it really is, destroying confidence in it as a currency.
That's exactly the problem - we don't know. There are many elements that look suspiciously like attempts at Christian syncretism, like Baldr's death and resurrection, and Ragnarok (a fiery apocalypse survived by one man and one woman, where one God reigns supreme.)

All we know is that there was Christian influence, because Snorri was a Christian, living and writing in Christianized Scandinavia to a Christian audience.
Thanks goodness all of us non-millenials avoided this by not becoming millenials.
I think the whole "sessions don't scale" predates an era of cheap, shardable/distributable and performant options from NoSQL to RDBMS.

It used to be a serious bottleneck for even smaller sites. But they also used to stick them in stodgy, table-locking storage engines in the same database as the rest of their application.

Times have changed and I really believe you can manage cookies<->sessions without too much overhead. And if you're willing to let a JWT have a 5-minute max life, you could similarly cache your session responses for 5 minutes.

Like all things, there comes a tipping point eventually. But it's not as early or as drastic as it once was.

US citizens make something of a deal out of it, as you can see from expat forums every spring when tax-filing season comes. However, relatively few American citizens abroad choose to renounce their citizenship because they find it useful to retain it. The minimum income threshold to pay income taxes (otherwise you just file) is ~$100,000, so that generally means most middle-class people don’t have to pay.

The real pain is for people who don’t really think of themselves as US expats, but who have US citizenship through an accident of birth and perhaps haven’t thought of that in years. For them, it is when e.g. a bank in their country suddenly doesn’t want to accept them as a customer due to the onerous reporting requirements, that they are aghast at the situation.

> Are there even any other countries that do this?

Reportedly Eritrea.
I mean it's not breaking any new ground. It's a great accomplishment for a person because of the amount of time committed, but there isn't any single fundamentally hard piece that's out of reach from an average developer.
I don't think there any actual expectation by policy makers that there will be good faith. These rules are designed this way intentionally.

IMHO the consultants and lobbyists benefit from such convulted loopholes .

These setups are only possible for large consultants to deliver for large consultants and policy makers have plausible deniability when there is no obvious loopholes and benefit from lobbying perks , revoking doors, election donations if not outright corruption.

Right now the central bank wills money into existence and then gives it to other banks who already have lots of money. Change your lens and see the similar topologies.
They should be held to account, but legitimately, legally. Their whole business model is based on crime. I don't understand why we don't see not only prosecution of their leaders, but RICO charges against their investors too.
> if you are a US citizen, but live somewhere else in the world, IRS still expects to be paid tax from your individual income in that foreign country (possibly in addition to the tax you pay in your country of residence) right?

Does anyone know more about this? Do American pasport holders abroad pay taxes twice?
> Always wondered why US citizens do not make a bigger deal out of this.

It affects a relatively small set of people (those with substantial income who live abroad in a lower-tax jurisdiction), and it'd be politically difficult to change.

> I assume there are minimum income thresholds but still...

None other than the normal thresholds for income taxes.

The one ameliorating factor is the foreign tax credit: you get a credit for taxes you've already paid to your local jurisdiction. So, in the likely case that you live somewhere with higher taxes, you won't pay any net US income tax. If you live somewhere with lower taxes, you'll pay the difference to the US.
>Does it make sense to distinguish between cattle- and bizniz-class in the context of hypothetical hypes like Starship?

>ballistics dictate a full seat/couch anyways?

technically you're right, and thus instead of 100 (i used 500/100 just based on ballpark comparison of Starship payload volume vs. 747) there would be more like 300+ business - good for SpaceX :)

You are right that making Terminal.app open source would be a net win for everyone, but it's not going to happen. Not because Apple doesn't want to, but because there's no spare bandwidth for anyone to push for it internally.

I think one of the biggest misunderstandings about Apple is the assumption that they have massive resources available to them, therefore they must have a wide bandwidth for competent development—be that in terms of vision, design, or code. The way I see it, Apple seems rarely able to focus on more than a few things at once. They have never been able to maintain high standards across the full breadth of their product stack.

MacOS tends to get jankier and cruftier with every release. At this point it's akin to a very pretty rug that has had so much mess swept under it that it's impossible for it to lie flat.

If you've ever dealt with the back end of Apple Music (née iTunes Music Store) you'd know that it's held together with a lot of crummy, barely-maintained software that falls apart under the most trivial of circumstances. For example, their iTunes Music Producer software can't even rip two-CD sets without causing file name conflicts in the XML. This bug has not been fixed for over a decade.

All nodes validate the root hash of every shard, so no, a Sybil attack on one shard is no easier than on the entire blockchain.

It may even be harder, as there would be more nodes in total when the hardware/network resources a person needs to run a node decline from what's needed to validate the whole blockchain, to what's needed validate the fraction of the blockchain contained in one shard, or conversely, when 64X more economic activity, and thus more people, are utilizing the blockchain, as a result of the scalability boost provided by dividing the blockchain into 64 shards.

>>Also, if you have, say, 10 shards - that isn't giving you 10x throughput. Its gonna give you maybe 2x throughput because what shards are doing is allowing lower-power machines help run the network, and those lower-power machines are not as effective as the rest, so they aren't contributing as much.

They don't have to be lower power machines. If the blockchain is divided into 64 shards, then the total network throughput can increase by 64X with the power requirements of validating machines not changing.
