I gave in trying to control the home directory long ago, it's a complete free for all, there has to be at least a dozen common and different ways programs decide to store configuration and caches etc.

I install my dotfiles globally into the system for the programs I care about with a simple shell script. Our desktops/laptops are usually all single user these days anyway, I don't see the point in trying to constrain things to a home directory. The nice things about this is that I can nuke my home directory when I feel like it, this is especially useful for programs I just want to reset without figuring out where they've littered all their configs... obviously you need to keep the dotfile repo outside of the home directory for that.
WeWork faces bankruptcy, especially if remote work stays the default. It's hardly a surprise that anyone running a beleaguered company like that would attempt to cast doubt on remote work.

This exactly, and because of the absurd magnitude of wealth some people have they are setting policy with their foundations. Basically governing without ever being elected.

The whole philanthropy argument is irrelevant PR.

This wealth wasn't created in a vacuum.
Okay then go to K Street and hire yourself a lobbyist. Unless you know someone or have a lot of money under your control you won’t even be able to get a meeting. Your suggestion is as ridiculous as telling the average person to “just ask the Fed for money” when they can’t make rent. If you truly believe the system is equally “open to all” then you have bought the bullshit lobbyists have been selling the public hook, line, and sinker.
The whole point of a JWT is that it is stateless, and the information is (cryptographically signed) in the client. The advantages and disadvantages of JWT both derive from that.

If you want a session, just use an opaque session cookie. Then all information is safely handled in the server.

While it's certainly technically possible to use a JWT like a session cookie (or store session information in it), what you then get is a solution that combines the disadvantages of both approaches: All the complexity of making "visible" client-handled information safe, with the additional overhead of also having it in the server, while you loose the advantages of a JWT in integrating third-party services.

So, either use one, or use the other, depending on your requirements. Don't combine them.
> If you drop backwards compatibility, you can get a lot of headroom for better performance.

Far less than a lot of people probably think though. AMD has an excellent x86 core, faster single threaded and throughput than the M1, on a generation older process technology, and quite possibly a smaller design and development budget than Apple, although not so power efficient.
That’s not what they want to do. If a phone has to be present near your sensor, either you have to be near the sensor or have two phones.

This way you can be away from the sensor and also only have one phone.
I'll be happy if it happens, but I'm not holding my breath. Abuse is literally in their corporate DNA. I guess if his vitriol was universal, maybe that makes it more palatable than hate targeted at one group? What a world.

There’s something to that as well.

To be clear, within a given category, the addictive substance will prevail: there are clove cigarettes and there are tobacco cigarettes, and I’d contend tobacco sells more than cloves simply due to the addictive properties of nicotine. (Keep in mind that whatever mild euphoria caused by nicotine affects only new smokers... after several months of smoking, there are no euphoric effects: you smoke to get rid of the craving.)

As to your point, I’ll go one step further... while it’s an interesting article and all, the embarrassingly obvious alternative that was sort of glossed over is that, frankly, psychedelics aren’t very fun. The reason they didn’t spread, perhaps, is because not many people like them. Could be as simple as that. Why hasn’t escargot spread across the globe like beef has? Why Tuna but not calamari? No deep reason... it’s just that the majority of people don’t like snails or squids or — in this case — zoning out and watching walls melt.

More concisely, psychedelics are in a different category from alcohol and nicotine.

It’s apples and oranges. Or, more accurately, barley and mushrooms.

The common denominator of the 'attacks' in Cuba, China, Australia, Washington is that all of the victims are government employees.

In my opinion they're all workplace injuries. There's something that the government is making them do, or is doing to them, as you lay out above.

Meanwhile the government is busy blaming 'adversaries' so that the government can wriggle away from shelling out millions of dollars in Workers' Compensation claims.
You are correct. I meant Google Sheets instead of Google Docs. I thought I'd tackle the word processor part once I got the spreadsheet to a usable state. I do think Google Docs suite is used as an umbrella term to refer to all the Google collaboration tools like Docs, Sheets, Forms etc.
Those rates are already severely pumped due to other compliance/regulatory initiatives (e.g., NIST 800-171 and CMMC).
Could make you less secure if the token was leaked somehow (another vuln for example a cross origin type of thing)

You notice odd behaviour so you log out to stop it but the attacker isn’t logged out.

Also with this setup log out of all devices is not possible! Again something you’d be keen to do if seemingly attacked.

(2) In the book he was comparing his pregnant British girlfriend to other women in the Bay Area, intended more to make her look good than others look bad. I don't think any malice was involved.

Really, the income tax, both corporate and personal, should be abolished. Any success towards legally minimizing income tax liability should be welcomed by any one who believes in minimizing the power of the state to violate the rights of private citizens, and favors more economic growth.

Fair enough, I’m sure they’d love to kill ad-blockers in general. But ... using canvas in a product that doesn’t show ads of any kind, nevermind display network ads, it is indeed a very tenuous argument that this is an anti-ad-blocker play.
Because JWT is the right answer for most scenarios. It's the best of both worlds when done correctly. You aren't blocking most of your requests waiting on your auth backend and 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.

It provides a hell of a lot of flexibility in terms of how you design your authentication architecture. 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. It can substantially reduce the footprint required for your auth backend.

It's pretty awesome. It is just mis-understood because people don't understand it. They assume that you have to invent some kind of "token revokation" system when people log out... nope. 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 that was used for a logged out session. All the write traffic and "sensitive" read traffic can just hit up the backend server to do real-time token validation.

For example here on HN 99% of authenticated requests are just to view this page, all this traffic doesn't need to insta-verify the auth token. The "post comment", "vote" and "change password" traffic makes up >1% of the traffic and can be "insta-verified" against the auth server. Who gives a shit if somebody impersonates that session for up to five minutes if they still can't comment or vote? The odds of it happening are minuscule and the damage isn't really bad...
>>It's only your property because you can defend it, but most of the time you won't have to because we all agree that you own it.

No, it's your property because you created it, or were willed it by someone who did. The basis of a right to property is the same basis as a right to your person: the inherently moral right for one to make exclusive use of unclaimed matter that they appropriated and reconfigured into more valuable matter.
it's fine to tell people you work for a particular company. But if you do so in the expectation that said reputation would give you more credibility for whatever extra-curricular activities you are undertaking, then that would be fraud and wrong.
This seems like an invented problem.

What is an auth server fundamentally?

It's a hash table lookup.

Which happens to be something that computers are designed to be really good at. I've never worked at a company where auth or storing user sessions was a bottleneck.
It seems to me that printing money must at some point cause significant inflation. I might be right or wrong.

Paying as much taxes as they can. And why not more? IIRC the 1040A has a field where you can give the government as much extra money as you want.

I'm not sure that's worth a firing from Apple, but based on the book, Popehat's rule of assholes* might be in play here.

* Popehat's rule of assholes: From Popehat, https://twitter.com/popehat, roughly stating "Assuming equal guilt, the system treats people who are assholes worse than people who are not."

Edit to add: After reviewing his comments in parts of the book I didn't reach, and his apparent real-life behavior... yeah, no. Who would hire him?
Great!

We are not using webworkers. Instead first we upload the files to our backend and then push them to the destination app.
On the front end you also have a user id in plaintext that you can use for request routing to send the user to the right shard in the right datacenter. That doesn't have to be cryptographically secure since cryptographic auth happens in a later step. By not having to decrypt anything your front end geographical load balancers can handle higher bandwidths (and more headroom for DDoS attacks).
You might ask if you can test out this one - no surgery required.

Last time we used git-annex was a few years ago, and it was too decentralized: the "sync" command that we used to download the remote content would also upload the information about current state.

This means there are were no read-only operations: you just want some files.. and that throwaway clone and CI machine would get recorded into the global repo state. If you are not careful, and will be propagated forever and would appear in the various reports.

Nuclear has quite a few major perceived problems: bureaucracy/authoritarianism, uranium (fuel) reserves, capital-intensive projects, risk of accident, proliferation, waste disposal, real decommissioning costs...

One of them is the NIMBY effect, and it may be a show-stopper for such microreactors, which need to be produced in large batches in order to be affordable. I can't imagine how a sufficient amount of them will be accepted by the population. Even maritime underwater versions will probably be rejected.
IDEA and related products are written in java and look and feel native to some degree. CyberDuck is java. Most developers don't know its so so easy to just toggle the look and feel to be native. A lot of app designers decide non-native even when it's native code, see adobe products.

As far as distraction goes, you can just mute your notifications and be inactive for a while. Bring up a slack window from work, and keep up-to-date with work events while tabling discussions with your friends for the time being — move from sync to async.

Granted, I'm sure some people do have trouble shifting fluidly between sync and async. I don't really have a solution to that, but in practice it hasn't been a problem for me. Maybe if I had different coworkers it would be an issue.
This is optimizing for an already solved problem in a way that adds complexity and increases the opportunity for security problems.

It’s bread (that is: pan, wheat or similar milled and leavened) but it’s more a euphemism of the author’s own design. To me it was a reference to - something - in the American millennial zeitgeist that congealed just about mid-pandemic when half our social media seemed to be about people making and bragging about bread at home.
I worked at a place whose auth server system literally serviced tens of billions of request per day. 99% of that traffic was for "dude was logged in and is looking at some page that is not unlike the one you are reading right now on HN". JWT let us cut that traffic by 99%. The remaining 1% was for servicing refresh tokens and handling requests for "sensitive" traffic (i.e. account page, anything involving writes, anything dealing with billing). This was in a system with data centers across the globe.

Auth might not be your primary bottleneck, but each page load you service has a latency budget and every millisecond spent being blocked on some auth call is a millisecond that could be spent doing else. And trust me, your database or crazy "solve it with redis" server isn't responding in 1ms, it's gonna be at least 20ms due to network overhead and the variance in latency on that request isn't always "20ms" it is "99% of the requests are 20ms and 1% are >>100ms". So now 1% of 10 billion requests (100 million requests) take way longer than 100ms... well that sucks...

Not to mention when your auth backend blows up and dies... your site is completely dead in the water. JWT can at least let you tread water for a while.

JWT is amazing. People that diss it don't understand it, or likely don't understand the tradeoffs they implicitly made with their own auth architecture.

If you want to favorably compare your girlfriend to the general populace, you can talk about her strength, the things she would do that others might not. You could praise her worldliness, her understandings of the ins and outs of business, politics, and high society. And you could honor how she's straightforward, to the point, and honest. You don't have to denigrate another group of women in order to make the point -- in fact doing so rather distracts from it.

I won't debate whether malice was intended because it's hard to know what the state of mind of a person is when they do a particular thing. I can definitely understand how a woman in the valley might suspect she would not get a fair shake from someone who would write these words.
Back in my days, people were judged by the value their work could could bring to the company, rather than based subjective assessments of subjective moral standards. This makes me feel old.

Outside of the main quote that keeps showing up, he was also fairly creepy writing about women he worked with.

> If her look was supposed to disarm me, she needed either more cleavage or more charm.
