Sticking your nose in "where every penny was spent" is not great and I imagine for most people it would lead quickly to micromanagement. What do you know about charities, about running charities? Anything? Give anonymously. To people who already know what they're doing. You're a billionaire, you can afford list price for benefit events.

I've never tried to do an opt-out for someone else. A few places like dmachoice.org have web forms but I made a lot of phone calls.

There are a couple of local advertisers that are going to send their stuff no matter what I think. I do still get a small amount of junk.

You could try crossing through the address, writing 'no longer at this address, return to sender' on it and dropping it in the out-going mail.
JWT solves all kinds of problems, you just haven't encountered them or aren't sophisticated enough to detect them yet. I'd assert that all the solutions you might propose have their own non-trivial issues.

For example your auth server better be god damn awesome if it is gonna service every front-end page load. If even 1% of its traffic takes an order of magnitude longer than the median... that means 1% of your front-end traffic is gonna take an order of magnitude longer too. Lord help you if that fucker hiccups for a minute every so often... JWT shields most front-traffic from auth-server latency issues because most front-end traffic never needs to talk to the backend. (And no, your auth server isn't perfectly designed and yes 1% of its traffic will be an order of magnitude slower for whatever random reason)

I expect (well, I don't expect, but I WANT) my government to stop it from happening.

It's foolish to expect people who are in a position of responsibility _to their shareholders_ to act like they're responsible _to you_. They're not.

Close the loopholes, raise the taxes (wealth, cap gains, high-earner income, corporate, etc) and stop vilifying people for making money.

Is this supposed to be a trick question? All do virtually the same thing at their core, differing in where they take their input from and whether they are the C11 bounds checking variants. You can add all the v prefix variants too, doesn't really make things more difficult.

You could have thrown in a bunch of functions from string(3), but even then... C string handling isn't great by any means, but it isn't vast or complicated either.
I like watching Prank shows. For some reason its entertaining to see what the body does instantly/unconsciously in response to stimuli when there is no time for thought. Below some threshold its like people have no control over what their legs, hands, face, vocal chords will do...
That implies that significantly less than half of their income fell into the highest bracket. This is true of the top 0.01% as well (the top 1% of the top 1%), they paid about 50% overall.

So, the top 1% of the top 1% of high-income earners, found a way for their income that would fall into the top tax bracket, to not be income. They turned it into capital gains or something else. To not do so would be crazy, so literally no one let a significant amount of their income fall into the top tax bracket, in the 1950s.
Yeah, this is not acceptable behaviour in a workplace, and hasn't been for a long time. Calling his termination "cancel culture" is just buying into right wing conspiracy theories.
But doesn't that go both ways? It's a bad path if you are only allowed to post your thoughts on Twitter if you put forward exactly the right (according to you) political or social views publicly.
This implies you would also need to know if the user ID exists before you use it, which means a look up. (because it might be 'regenerated' and no longer valid).

If you take that one step further and just introduce disposable user ids, that point to a "real" user id, you've basically reinvented the session ID.
As with Reddit's Aimee Challenor controversy, I can't see why the hiring company did not do a simple google search of the candidate before moving forward in the hiring process.

In both cases, the hiring process is either broken if they did not bother to search, or they did search and the company initially did not care. The later, bowing to employee pressure and backtracking, would be spineless.

This is pretty superior to git LFS in many aspects:

- You have file type and preview that you can use without getting the full thing

- You have a custom metadata for each file enforced by your scripts -- for example for archives, you may store the list of files inside. This will allow your CI tests to validate the references into the files without having to download the whole huge thing.

- You fully control remote fetch logic. Multiple servers? Migration rules for old revisions? That weird auth scheme that your IT insists on? It is all supported with a bit of code.

- You fully control local storage. Do you want a computer-wide shared CAS cache between multiple users? What if you have NAS that most users mount? Or maybe s3fs is your thing? Adding support is easy.

The main downside is that you get to do all the tooling and documentation, so I would not recommend this for the smaller teams. Nor would I recommend this for open-source projects.

But if your infra team is big enough to support this, you'll definitely have the better experience than generic Git LFS.
The US was screaming blue murder in 1962 about Soviet weapons and troops just 90 miles from the US.

And today, the US is puzzled why Russia is screaming blue murder about NATO weapons and troops right on the Russian border.

If the US and the Soviets were minutes away from nuclear destruction in 1962, they're just as close to nuclear destruction in 2021.

Closer in fact, because in 1962 there was mutual respect for the other. No such thing today.
In practice the public CAs didn't quite work out. www.cacert.org tried it, and was interesting, but didn't work out in the end. Especially now its a bit of a joke with the login page on http and the website certificate not being cross-signed, so you have to accept them explicitly.

You are basically doing the exact same thing in the opposite direction.

Equating all Jews with Israel is anti-Semitic because Israel does not represent all Jews and isn't exclusively populated by Jews.

Insinuating all anti-Semitism is related to Israel is anti-Semitic because it ignores the hostility and violence that has been directed towards Jews that has nothing to do with either historic or modern politics of The Holy Land.

Right. Intel controls silicon design, and a compiler hardly anyone uses.

To get the same level as access as Apple, Intel would have to cut a deal with Microsoft for access to their most sensitive telemetry data (and - likely - also to modify windows to collect more).

I think it's quite unlikely that MS would agree to that readily, if at all.
It's pretty hard to prove a negative. How do you go about doing it to your own satisfaction? And what would be sufficient proof to you that it happens?
IMHO, this only makes sense as part of a bigger non-code data software such as SPSS or Tableau.

I don't see non-programmers picking this up from scratch, but if they're already doing data work, this is much better than current SPSS scripting, etc., (I actually only used SPSS scripting, so I can't testify about other tools)

> We've used "meat" to describe lots of things that we eat for a very long time.

That's not a very good argument. Those other uses are only valid in very specific contexts. If someone ordered "extra meat" for their sandwich, and the restaurant threw in some apple slices (as in meat = "the edible part of anything, as a fruit or nut"), pretty much everyone would find that to be scammy.

> Nobody is fooled. It's called "Beyond Beef," not "Beef."

Yet. This fake "beef" is currently a trendy novelty product. If/when it becomes cheaper than real beef, I guarantee you that there will be concerted attempts to trick people into buying it.

These kinds of naming standards are necessary. For instance the difference between "frozen dairy dessert" and "ice cream" (which as a specific government enforced definition). They're both marketed like ice cream, but if I see the former label, I know not to buy it because it's cost-reduced crap (e.g. they whipped so much air into it it can't be called ice cream anymore).

Read the many, lengthy direct quotes from his writing in https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/12/22432909/apple-petition-h....

This is a guy who has made a writing/speaking career of knowingly saying crassly offensive and, at best, childishly naughty things about entire classes of people he would be managing at Apple (or anywhere else). He's a professional troll. It's not like someone dug up a single reddit post of his he made when he was in high school.

It's a genuine mystery to me how he got hired for any management job in the first place.
> If you need to make a DB trip on every request, what advantage are you getting from JWTs?

Because you don't need to check the DB every request! That's the cool part!
You only hit the DB for requests that matter!

For example, do you really need to check the DB to load this very page? If the auth token expiration is say, 5 minutes... does it really matter if a bad guy gets ahold of that token and loads this page? They can't post or vote because for those requests... you can pass the token to your auth server to be validated. 99% of your traffic is probably servicing the loading of this very page. 1% (or probably closer to 0.1%) is any kind of traffic that you actually care if the token hasn't expired within 5 minutes.

The problem people get into is they think security is black and white. It's gray. Some things need to trade latency for security... like write traffic. For 99% of the read traffic on HN? Who cares... even 10 minutes or more might be okay depending on the business.

People invent these complex pub-sub systems and stuff... they are working under the idea that all requests need to be super-secure. Most of it doesn't. I'd assert for most businesses.... 99% of the authenticated traffic could deal with a 5 minute max window after logout where somebody could maybe, theoretically impersonate somebody. And for the 1% of that traffic where it matters, you can always hit the DB.
All land in the united states should be collectively owned by the citizens. I think they should do away with or curtail other taxes for a Georgian style land-value-tax system that could also fully fund Universal Basic Income and Universal Healthcare.

Wow. Bread as University employment. Which is income (UBI?) plus purpose (Buddhist Economics?).
If you adjust ISO you will get more noise.

Noise is decided by the quality of the sensor, and the solid angle of light that hits each point on the sensor. The solid angle as it happens also decides depth of field.

So it is always true that you should apply crop factor to aperture. ISO is just not the correct factor to describe gain because an inverse crop factor is applied to it in effect.

So at the same exposure and shutter speed, at f/3.4 on FF you will get the same image with the same amount of noise as you would at f/1.7 on M4/3.

I’ve only done a few JWT implementations so forgive my ignorance but isn’t this what “exp” and token refreshes are for?

If you don’t want to maintain a centralized session store and you don’t want long lived tokens just set the expiry to 90 seconds. When you attempt a refresh, if the user is logged out it will fail.

I’m really confused by the either/or of “hit central session store on every request” or “tokens that live five minute too long are bad mmmkay”.
I am not completely certain but I believe the authors' mother was saying "F the bread it is over" as a sort of metaphor regarding last years fad of baking bread during the lockdown and how it is no longer important.

It could also be a commentary on the ketogenic diet movement gaining ground in recent years.

Bread is also slang for money so it could be refering that the author cant make any money but thats a stretch.

On a side note, one of my favorite science/fantasy fiction authors is a professor at Brigham Young University. He completed possibly the greatest fantasy series every written, so I don't see any reason why a class about fairytales wouldn't work.

If the company had let him stay, how should it respond to female employees who bring up "Hey, this person wrote that women are useless baggage and he's going to evaluate me, determine my salary, and career opportunities here. Why should I stay?"

Should all the women just quit? What's the point in staying?

If this were written about men instead, I don't think male employees would stick around to watch their compensation suffer.
I guess we will never know since the mob made it clear that he does not belong despite claims of 'inclusive values' and 'diverse perspectives'. Its funny when those perspective and values include only those that are already acceptable to the mob.
Can he do the job? Well, the job included managing people from groups he has publicly and repeatedly shown contempt for, and a bunch of people he'd be managing said that they wanted him fired. So I suspect the answer is no, if we're boiling this down a purely meritocratic question, he literally cannot do the job.

Here's a video of Antonio García Martínez actually explaining his book (dated 4 years ago): https://youtu.be/KE0pIKV5Mlc

The YouTube comments on this video seem stuck in time (4 years ago) before our current "PC" era. They're largely positive and have nothing to do with political commentary; e.g. the top two comments:

> This was one of the best interviews I have heard from TWIST. I've never listened to a single boring one but holy crap Antonio was such a pleasure to listen to.

and

> Love the insight; “radical candidness is endearing long term”

> At a visceral level, we respect the strength & stamina it takes to “suspend disbelief.”

> Excellent piece Jason.

I'm sure we can find some salacious quotes from this guy's book, but how many people in the latest cancel mob will take the time to read them in their full context before rushing to judgment? (I'm not rushing to judgment either way, but it does strike me that there's a good chance this guy is a blunt person who has some interesting things to say, perhaps some of it rough around the edges and offensive).
By the mob you mean "the people who would have to work with him"?
