Well. I usually work on system programming but recently started to code a web app (Account manager at c1.fi - Golang, JS, HTML, CSS) and I can say that creating even most simplistic & light weight web app can be rather demanding job. Especially when you need it to render and behave well on both desktop and mobile! =)
This is a straight up sexist remark.

If part of the job is showing respect to all your coworkers, regardless of sex, then it seems obvious he is incapable.

Maybe his beliefs do not translate at all into his behavior, but I doubt it.
I listen to media at 4 to 5x speed usually, not blind either. I've found that I just got better at incrementally increasing the speed over time. Why not try 2.71 or something like that and just acclimate to it?

Not true: You ideally still need as many electrodes as feasibly possible for a more complete BCI interface, implanted or not, regardless of the resolution (constant bitrate) of the electrodes. It is true though that certain implanted electrodes have higher resolution than transitional EEG caps. But at this point, it is not that big of a deal because neurosurgeons can only implant a very limited amount of electrodes. Even if they could implant 256 electrodes, the processing of this would be extremely limited. Even a standard 19 channel EEG cap can require a top-of-the-line computer (think i9 processor, 64 GB RAM, or better) for some use cases, due to latency issues involved especially with the amount of signals being used.

Also: With EEG caps, we have filters that remove the noise from movement and muscle activity very well.
Because it effects those around him and the business itself. Especially women who are already disadvantaged by inequalities in tech.

You can take the your viewpoint to the extreme to prove a point: yeah that Himmler guy knows how to engineer and plan. all that matters right?

One's actions affect others, and even disregarding the (evidently not agreed upon fact) that we should actively be combating racism, misogyny, discrimination etc, it's bad for business when one persons behavior makes other employees less productive, less likely to work for your company in the first place, less likely for customers to buy, or open the company to liability or settling a suit since they now have reports of his behavior.
I think generally US has carried that role in past until 2016. Either by partnerships or by holding a gun to other people’s head, US has exercised a self preservation strategy which had some effect on remaining world. For eg. Obama admin had narrowed down Ebola and contained it[1]. That indirectly was beneficial for rest of the world. Unfortunately the last administration deserted from these responsibilities thereby creating a sudden void and hence chaos.

I remember this article from a year ago. It's a beautiful piece of prose that really stuck with me, thanks for sharing this again.

The first year of my PhD program is ending, and I feel like I've been adrift the whole time: floating by without much direction, not doing much more than the bare minimum. I've been needing to reevaluate my priorities and find what I should really be doing. I've already decided I won't end up in academia, I couldn't win the endless pile of tasks. Not sure what I need to learn from this article but learning to make the most of the rest of your life is high on my list :)

Under normal circumstances we might turn the flags off on this story because it's an incremental development in an interesting new phenomenon (employee activism influencing corporate decisions—is that a neutral enough way to put it?).

I feel like undergrads learn C in their first year? Or at least I did (well I already knew it, but had a class that was in C).
You don't seem to understand how the progressive taxation works. In U.S. you pay 0 tax on first ~20k income, 15% on the next 35k, 22% on next 40k and so on (random numbers). The 22% is what you pay on anything above 55k in this example. But for the first 55k you pay only 20k * 0% + 35k * 15%=5250, e.g. 9.5%
I would totally be a huge infrastrucre cost. That said many water systems are due for overhauls in the coming years anyways.

However, heat loss is not a significant issue. These systems were installed in Scandinavian countries as well as in a lot of the Soviet Union, with heat losses of 9% and less achievable. This compares favorably with ~5% power losses in the grid. Water stores heat very very well.

The main advantage is that while yes it is a bit less efficient for waste electricity, it allows nuclear power plants, data centers, and other waste heat-producing industries to recuperate 80+% of heat losses, and crucially when heating is a big cost, thermal solar is about 3x more effective than photovoltaic.

This system would make it possible for 100% of heating carbon emissions to be eliminated, all the time, while at the same times allowing for buffer tanks to soak up excess electricity supply.
If the simple thing is sufficient, don't do the complex thing.

You say that JWT is the right answer for most scenarios, I think that's not true. Aside from revoking, there's risk in complexity and I did my best in providing evidence that complexity causes real-world issues. You allude to this when you said "if done right", but that's a big if. I think this tends to fall deaf on some people's ears, because nobody feels that they might be the one to mess up JWT and inadvertently introduce vulnerabilities. Perhaps that is true for you, but the added complexity _is_ causing real-world security problems for actual developers.

The advantages I'm hearing is 'not blocking requests' and 'reduces latency' (which sounds like the same thing), but how much does this really matter? How much latency do you think this is? Has this really been a bottleneck for you?

You might well be part of the small group where every 5ms matters, but it would be disingenuous to suggest that that's true for "most scenarios". Most systems can bear an extra Redis fetch.

I'll concede it might just work better/simpler in your architecture, especially since you mention a dedicated auth backend, but shaving a few ms of a request is not a good enough universal reason given the drawbacks.

> There’s a ton of data showing that early sexualization is very bad for female self esteem, causes eating disorders, etc

Given that at least 3/4 of the US has eating disorders, especially among women, it's an easy correlation.

> Do you perhaps see the irony in trying to defend children seeing sexual material by immediately trying to justify and okay sexual dominance based on animal behavior?

I'm just pointing the US is full of liberal theories, yet awfully prude... well, unless it's about homosexuality, where it's OK for young children to witness sexually explicit behaviors (if not total depravity and including fetishist and BDSM exposure) during pride events, but that's another debate altogether. You don't have to be 18 to know very well how babies are made.

For fuck say, you can't even say "fuck" on TV!

> There’s lots of sexual predation among animals. Doesn’t mean I want that for myself or my family. Again, only proving my point by the way you speak about it.

It's actually all the same pattern in mammals, female are more likely to give it to confident male (often expressed through the dark triad, machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) than beta cucks - I stopped counting the number of hardcore feminist who ended up on their knees, asking, sorry begging to be used. It's almost getting boring.

That hinders technological progress. Typically newer technology in most consumer fields is bought and “tried out” by the wealthy. If it’s popular enough, economy of scales comes in and makes it more affordable.

Adding that heavy of a tax will disincentivize some wealthy from buying the product, leading to slower, if any, feedback loop to give that tech to the lower income classes.

You may ask, well the tech is already made. And a private jet won’t become affordable to normal folks anytime soon. True, but then the issue is, who determines exactly which items are taxed, and how much?

Most likely a domino effect that was not intended or predicted will occur, causing worse outcomes than the pseudo planned-economy hoped for.

First of all, if my requirements are "not JWT" then the correct answer is not JWT.

> You aren't blocking most of your requests waiting on your auth backend

Yeah, at Facebook scale. My database responds in less than 1 ms.

> for requests that actually need to have up-to-the-instant knowledge of a token's validity, you can always elect to hit up the auth backend anyway.

So... what is the point of JWT when I always need to know if a token is valid?

> For example it can let you use the same set of tokens for all your API's as you use for "web" traffic. It can reduce page latency.

Again, my database responds in MS. If you're doing client side rendering anyway, why not just throw in middleware to check the session token? You are trading literally 1 millisecond of latency for unneeded application complexity.

> I assert unless you are a bank or something, 99% of your authenticated traffic is read-heavy and can tollerate 5 minutes worth of somebody getting ahold of a token

Read heavy traffic does not imply that 5 minutes of stolen credentials is okay. Could my app survive if someone stole a token and used it for 5 minutes? Sure. Do I want that to happen? No. Without JWT, I can revoke tokens in milliseconds. I can revoke tokens if IP is changed. I can revoke tokens if user agent changes. I can revoke tokens if a user rotates their device.

> All the write traffic and "sensitive" read traffic can just hit up the backend server to do real-time token validation.

Again, what is the point of JWT if you still need to hit the backend? All read traffic is sensitive to my app.

> For example here on HN 99% of authenticated requests are just to view this page

Sure, then why use JWT at all? Keep the profile name and points in cookies, upvotes in local storage. Who gives a shit if the data is a little stale? Right?

JWT is unnecessary bloat in my opinion. At Facebook and Google scale I can see how saving billions of database calls a day could be useful. For people with less than a million page hits a day, probably not.
I would (and will!) definitely call men a minority in fields where men are the minority and face discrimination.

I think this is bit charitable, to say the least. Long before Obama the "US-led international order" was also screwing up on Global Warming.

Did 100% of the wealth generated by the 1% come from their income taxed at that rate, or did they have a significant portion of their generated wealth come from capital gains?

Classifying the 1%'s wealth by talking about their income as if its 100% of their wealth might be a bit misleading.
Currently, there is an arms race in the Indo-Pacific region because of Obama's abandonment of defense treaties in the South China Sea, starting with the Philippines Scarborough Shoals. This week, a CCP official threatened to launch ballistic missiles at Australia.

Trump was the first leader to stop air travel in 2020, and denounced as a racist for it by US Dem/Marxist leaders. Of course, not it's standard practise to restrict air travel.

How did the US cause economic migration from Africa to the EU? Why should the US do anything about that? Supposedly 1/3 of Africans hope to migrate to the EU to take advantage of generous welfare programs there.
I feel it's that one: all the people were talking about during the first phases of lockdown was how to make the best of this moment, surrounded with all this newfound available time and knowledge a few clicks away. Stories of starting a new hobby, learning a new language, playing an instrument. It was all temporary anyway, so we might as well use that time.

But the diversion wore off, as time went on, deaths kept piling off, countries were fighting each other over sharing vaccines and their patents, half the country still believes it's all a hoax... there's only so much bread that will keep you busy while no one outside shows any sign of pondering on our faults as a society and we are just waiting for the old days to come. Who cares about bread anymore.

Maybe I'm putting some of myself here, but so many parts of this society look too much like dumb tasks coming again and again with no end in sight, and for what result? Become a prince if you have the good friends/luck/money, or vanish into the void of being forgotten.

Stop being diverted by quirky social media phenomenons: fix the system, or leave it to make your own. Abort the fairy tale.
I think there's still a need for it, but it seems to me that if I got paper mail once a week that would be good enough (senders can still opt for "express" service for anything really time-sensitive). Most bills sent by mail have ~30 day payment due date, so getting them once a week would still be more than adequate. You could cut delivery staff and vehicle needs by close to 4/5 this way (keeping some capacity for the express letters).

This wasn't a secret, which is why it was so easy for these Apple employees to assemble a lot of quotes at short notice.
In the same spirit it might be worth noting that 'earn about 20% of annual income" could also be considered a bit misleading 'receive about 20% of annual income" would be a less controversial term.
99% of the top 1% are "normal workers" like me - engineers at Google - or my cousin - a radiologist - or one of my best friends - an investment banker - or lawyers, or owners of successful small businesses, etc...

These "normal workers" pay a lot of that 40% of the tax bill.

There aren't that many CEOs of Fortune 500 companies and board members, A+ list celebrities, and aristocrats. You're getting into the .01% - that's still 32,000 people!

Chicago Booth put together an article with graphs to really show how much the top 0.01% has diverged [1].

The top 0.01% still pays A LOT of the income taxes - about 5% - but that means, mostly hardworking normal people in the top 1% are paying the other 35% of that 40% share of the tax bill.

It's not like Bill & Melinda Gates are paying 40% of the tax bill by themselves...
