Middleware like Nginx (at least the Nginx Plus version) know how to take apart JWTs and use the stuff inside. The same can't be said for your arbitrary custom serialization format.

The real use of JWTs is when you want third parties to be able to sign their own API requests, that your API will accept using the very same machinery by which it accepts your first-party-client API requests. If you use JWT, you can just pass the third party a private JWT signing key to use, add the corresponding public key to your validation set for JWT decode on your backend, and everything "just works."
Public intoxication is illegal in many places. My point is that you can be out in public (comfortably) while drinking whereas that’s less the case with other drugs like LSD. It’s not an absolute claim. I’m just saying the alternative explanation is at least plausible. I think I succeeded.
Interesting. Can you share evidence? If true, that would be useful to share with others.
I think a more likely explanation is that they supported everything that fits in 128 bit registers (the same as ARM NEON). Trying to emulate code using 256 bit registers on a machine with 128 bit registers is probably difficult and pathologically slow in some cases.

Hey Hackernews,

I built this as part of proving how you could build a dynamic website using solely GitHub Pages + GitHub Actions.
Here is a detailed writeup on how the approach works:
https://blog.kaiser.lol/writable-websites-using-github-pages...

It's not pretty by any means, but it proves the basics of how you can implement a writable/dynamic GitHub Pages site.
For us, it's because we want more capabilities in our ORM and so use SQLAlchemy+Flask.
Excellent short answer. What's PRPL? (Google tells me it's a furniture company or an embedded systems foundation, neither of which make sense in this context)
I can't argue with that. I didn't expect the prices to align when I researched it.

All those categories have already taxes associated with them

Expenses -( VAT/GST etc)

R&D/salaries - income tax for employees

Divendent - income and other taxes

Acquisitions/investments - seller pays capital gain tax etc

Disincentizing savings to boost the economy is not only applicable for regular people it also applies for companies.

Low interest rates are really today applicable for us. Companies with billions of dollars are getting enough returns to keep cash rather than spend it.
This is if you are a startup founder, it makes sense to accept investment, this brings the tax dodging practises which those people already know about and now it's available to you too
> None other than the normal thresholds for income taxes.

That’s false. First $100k of foreign income is exempt.

In addition to the MS Surface tablets, Lenovo makes a 2-in-1 laptop with detachable keyboard that can be used as a tablet, and apparently is pretty good at it. eg:

Depending on what you're after, a modern 2-in-1 laptop like the Lenovo Yoga (they have a range), HP Elitebook x360, or similar might work well too:

I just ask one question:

Who do you think politicians have their dinner with? Is it a middle class tax paying person or some rich businessmen friends?

Who will get his sympathy? Extrapolate from there.
As other people have pointed low margin businesses like fintech would get skewered with this. For example, payment processing companies recognize the value of the transaction as revenue even though their cut is 1-2%.

You would shift the gaming of system from happening on the net income level to gaming of the system happening on the revenue level.

Gates did not change the course of anything.

The personal computer revolution was inevitable, and operating systems were plentiful and doable, and we see the same market concentration, product bundling, and monopoly patterns emerge in every industry, so if not Gates, it just would have been somebody else.

If you want to claim he was a more talented monopolist, then I'd point out that monopolies stifle innovation, so a less talented monopolist would have changed the course of civilization much more, i.e. his kind of changing is not the type we need to applaud. Yawl don't remember, but before the dot com era came along and opened things up, Microsoft had more or less completely stifled the computer software industry, there was hardly anything going on in terms of attracting investment and creating jobs, everyone was too fearful of getting stomped.

also, while he's no doubt a very smart guy, he's hardly ever said an intellectually interesting thing. Go ahead and challenge that statement, if he has, I'd love to hear it. Strikes me as a complete dullard.

This really isn’t a problem.

8 hour is the MAXIMUM you can legally drive at a time. 11 hours is the daily maximum driving time total. So as long as there’s a mega charger between your 3rd and 8th hour, you’re fine. Then charge overnight slower.

Lithium sulfur (or a smaller load) enables no need to charge during the day at all. Could go the full 11 hours driving each day and charge at mere Supercharger (or CCS) speeds overnight.
or, really, what I mean to say is, there is no way to stop everyone from paying ransoms when we assume they are rational or even pseudo-rational actors, except by making it impossible for them to be presented with the choice of paying a ransom which makes sense to them to pay from their perspective

for example, if someone is going to die based on the information, then we would have to be ready to kill that person anyway to make a point, and apparently have perfect information about everything except how to stop this tragedy from happening, in any case the person being ransomed is essentially morally bound to pay the ransom, with the only difference in the vindictive justice case being the tangentially but not necessarily meaningfully involved party is guaranteed to die, and that doesn't seem like the outcome we're looking for here really

"What a Black third grader (or any third grader) can do today is head and shoulders above what one could do 30 years ago."

This makes no sense. I have been around third graders only so often since my son was in third grade, and the ones I've met have been fine kids, but there is only so much that any American school demands of third graders. If you were to specify 12th grade, then you might have a case, what with all the AP classes being pushed, the IB program, etc.
They're just trying to get their toothbrush the one featured at the dentist office. And then if you buy it at the dentists, they'll be able to tell how many that dentist is moving.
This is already happening. For example people steal medical records and use the data to get medical care for themselves and others, pretending to be the identity they have stolen. So false data gets into the medical record and can not by law be removed! So people are getting misdiagnosed due to false information in their medical records. It is very difficult to detect tampering in data, what is the objective truth you can compare to? In many circumstances the data itself is considered the basis of truth. So data tampering could already be widespread and the only time it is detected is when it causes someone problems and then it is likely considered a "computer error".

It's also worth noting that Apple truly has the whole stack under their roof, including the team that maintains their C compiler and optimises LLVM's ARM machine code output. Intel has their own C compiler too, but one wonders to what extent they can profile real commercial software compiled using it, and feed that profiling knowledge back to the silicon designers in a useful way. The existence of AVX-512 makes me doubtful of that.

Let's enumerate what Apple has access to in more detail:

- third-party apps (in bytecode form)
- first-party apps
- the kernel
- a vast array of performance-critical libraries
- c/swift compilers
- machine code optimizers
- silicon design
- product stakeholders

The difference is that with Apple, the interaction between the various layers in the stack would be much lower friction than between Intel, AMD and Microsoft. The Apple Silicon team are truly single-customer. Equally as importantly, the Apple Product teams are truly single-buyer (eventually) and unlike Microsoft which has to split loyalties between Intel, AMD, ARM, and three dozen OEMs with their own motherboard designs tying all these bits together.

And unlike Intel or Microsoft, everyone at every layer of Apple knows that their success will ultimately be judged on the same, singular metric: the quality/performance of the Apple product being released in September, and then the Apple product being released next March. That kind of unified focus is almost unheard of in the commodity PC space.
The "keep in memory" part is gonna be hard as you scale to multiple servers. You run into all the issues that lead people to stick an oracle DB behind their app servers. I agree that these considerations do pan out in some cases; I'm not saying that any of these proposals can't be the right way to go depending on your overall design, but now we are squarely in optimization-land and have long given up on statelessness.
I've heard this suggested before: abolish all corporate tax and increase capital gains tax to equal income tax.

This will level the playing field between large and small businesses, since the former has the means to dodge byzantine corporate tax laws.

It will also give an incentive for companies to stay onshore.

Any downsides?

Sort of. The way that the author talks about Mercurial as not having this problem makes me think they're talking about something related but subtly different. In particular, AFAICT, Mercurial requires the exact same thing as what you're pointing out. If you want to completely disable use of largefiles then you still have to run `hg lfconvert` at some point. That also changes your revision history.

The "one-way door" as I understand the article to be describing is talking about the additional layer of centralization that Git LFS brings. In particular it's pretty annoying to have to always spin up a full HTTPS server just to be able to have access to your files. There is now always a source of truth that is inconvenient to work around when you might still have the files lying around on a bunch of different hard drives or USB drives.

Whereas with git-annex, it is true that without rewriting history, even if you disable git-annex moving forward, you'll still have symlinks in your git history. However, as long as you still have your exact binary files sitting around somewhere, you can always import them back on the fly, so e.g. to move away from git-annex you can just commit the binary files directly to your git directory and then just copy them out to a separate folder whenever you go back to an old commit and re-import them.

But perhaps I'm interpreting the author incorrectly, in which case it's hard for me to see how any solution for large files in git would allow you to move back without rewriting history to an ordinary git repository without large file support.
One of the reasons Apple does so well in browser tests is that ARM now has instructions to increasing the performance and decreasing the power draw of JavaScript operations.
Ah, thanks. I had mistakenly assumed the diffusion process here was comparable / drop-in replacement to Langevin dynamics used with energy models.
I found the hand image quite off putting. Good article though.
I'm glad that this is a thing but I don't know what it means for the average horological enthusiast. Lots of the goodness of a movement comes down to manufacturing tolerances, grading, and regulation at the factory. My ETA 2824-2-powered Damasko loses one second per day on the wrist despite having been dropped, jogged with, and high-sided on a motorcycle; there are watches that cost five times as much with the same model of movement that came from the factory running way worse.

The engineering is already there as Chinese factories are cranking out affordable 4Hz movements, it's just that the finishing and assembly still leave some to be desired (according to random YouTube reviews and forumites at least). This isn't a knock on Chinese factories by the way - they do FANTASTIC work for the money (and I'd love to add a PT5000-powered piece to my modest collection) but they just aren't on the same level as their Japanese/German/Swiss counterparts.
They made more money doing that than selling cars.
The Canada Revenue Agency is very clear about how they are interpret tax law here. If it’s a gift from a non-employer then it’s most certainly not taxable. There is no gift tax. However, Vitalik has generated a capital gains event by the act of donating a capital property. Canada doesn’t distinguish between short term or long term capital gains. 50% of the fair market value would be taxable at whatever his marginal tax rate is. But if he has donated to a qualifying charity, he may not have to report any of this capital gain.

In short, he probably owes no tax from this act.
I'll be shocked if they manage to create a canvas which will render without off-by-1 pixel dimensions and blurry text when I'm using fractional DPI scaling or browser zoom (not Google Docs zoom). VSCode's canvas terminal failed, Chrome's PDF reader failed...

EDIT: Hmm, it actually works, at 125% DPI and various browser zoom levels, the text isn't blurry. Maybe that's linked to how the page doesn't change size when you resize your window.
Really cool! I see a resemblance to scratch.

Great work and write up!
JWTs expire, so you only need to maintain a list of invalidated JWTs that haven't expired yet. You get two short cuts, one that you only check for revoked tokens which aren't expired and have valid signatures. This can save a lot of DB queries given you usually have to check auth validity per request.
Sure, I just meant there's a Microsoft store so if the there was something particularly advantageous to having access to an app store, Intel or AMD are not completely in the wilderness here.
We might also need to rename the Milky Way galaxy. (Or is it acceptable because it's only milk-Y?)
Nice, I like this. Thank you.
Take a look at "The Blocksize War" for a fantastic rundown of the events that led to Bitcoin not increasing its throughput.

TLDR: Massively rushed changes, pushed by people with a lot of power on the network (miners and corporations), which ended up being largely antithetical to Bitcoin's decentralization thesis.

Bitcoin's value is in its stability, its decentralization, and its lack of hurried change. It is in the control of everyone, not just the powerful actors in the system. Its value is not in its ability to pivot every few years like a startup to fulfill some new purpose.
In addition to other example cited here, Druid has bitmap indexes on dimension columns. So, it's hard to make a hard and fast generalization. All databases use indexes to a greater or lesser extent.

To my mind the big differences for data warehouses are the following:

(a) Table scans are relatively cheap thanks to columnar structure and compression. It's much more important to tune compression than indexes. If you can reduce stored data size by 10^3, you don't need an index. That's exactly the opposite of row stores like MySQL.

(b) Data warehouses don't use indexes to maintain referential integrity, because it's not something they really care about in the first place.

My DW experience is with ClickHouse, but I think it illustrates a lot of the principles.

Without offering an alternative solution I'm not sure what your co-workers are trying to accomplish.

The article doesn't offer much of a solution either.

The only valid criticism I see in these threads are unless you are tracking a revoke list then the JWT is still valid on a user initiated logout until it expires.

If you're going to roll your own tokens you're probably going to end up some form of tamper proof encryption even if you're storing additional session information on the backend.

Without specific comparison to other styles of session management this is just all FUD to me.
Site is down for me too, but on a related note, if you have never seen a watchmaker practice their craft, it is fascinating.

I didn't think to include that (I'm the author) 'cause that constraint is more about the difficulty of timing instructions, rather than saving memory, which is the main reason Crane implemented the LFSR that he did.

It’s one of a number of such agencies around the globe, which are known as Internet Referral Units. Earlier in April, the Israeli Supreme Court gave a green light to the unit’s activities, rejecting a legal challenge that charged the unit with infringing on constitutional rights.

Unless you look at Japanese or German cars I think you'll be disappointed. It's not that Tesla has poorer interior than other American cars. In general they all have plastic-y, toy-like interior. Even cars more expensive than Tesla have this problem. And then there's the interior design. Cars half the price have much higher interior quality in German and Japanese cars (and Korean and French and Chinese and...). It has always been like this for some rreason. Have you seen a Mustangs interior? Yikes!

I'm in the same generation (or maybe even slightly older) than the author of that article.

And at work I tend to see a lot of the "digital natives" who can't understand how the black box was built and they put together things that they don't really understand and they really like to throw around a lot of lingo to deal with what I suspect is a bunch of imposter syndrome going on.

There are really fairly few people who understand how its built and will drill down until they find and fix the problem.
If you look at an actual beyond beef package, you'll see that they say "plant-based" in huge letters on the front. Again, it's integral to their product's market niche that it (a) can be substituted for beef and (b) is not made from animal products. The idea that they're trying to trick anyone here is absurd. If customers believed beyond was actually beef, they would go out of business within a year.
I had this experience, too, after tech reviewing quite a few books. I quickly got to the point where I didn't want to even look at the final product, because of all the pointed-out flaws that would still remain, and I'd know the book could have been so much better, except that some editor was in a rush, or lazy.
My honest opinion: anyone reading this will be dead by the time technology advances to the stage where BCI ethics and abuse is a topic even worth considering.

These articles are designed to make it seem like the technology is developing rapidly, similar to the early CPU and memory chips. A more apt analogy is the progress of electrical systems in the 18th century: we can observe some odd effects but have no idea what it is we're actually looking at. This won't change until we gain a proper understanding of the human brain, just as electronics didn't take off until we understood the atom.

If you want my opinion on the current state of the art (as of 2018), as well as a quick introduction to some of the technology, here is an old draft of my research proposal (You can skip almost all of it except Appendix 1; that's by far the most important argument for why I think the current paradigm cannot deliver significant improvement):
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pmgCpDLEfHlWDu6OoHuoTOQ4...

As you can probably tell, I gave up because I could identify gaping flaws with the current paradigm but wasn't able to formulate a new one out of nothing.

On a side note, I suspect this is why impostor syndrome is so prevalent amongst PhD students. You're not actually expected to contribute worthwhile knowledge to society, but instead expand the body of knowledge in your field. In a static field, unless you are a hyper-genius capable of spinning a whole new paradigm, this means churning out papers which you know are bullshit but are supported well enough by the existing body of research to appear reasonable. In short, grad students feel like impostors because they are.
(You still file twice even if you don’t end up owing tax. You also must report any foreign bank accounts for which you have signatory control that contained > $10k or equivalent at any time in past year. If not you are subject to fines of 50% their balance.)
For the most part it doesn’t matter except for more paperwork. If you live in a country with higher taxes (most countries) you pay $0 in US tax.

If you live in a country with lower taxes you exempt a bunch of income, deduct housing costs and get credit for any taxes paid in your original country. You end up paying very little US taxes.
That is nothing like the programs at Google. More like "increase outreach at historically black colleges".
