> You still need some authority to say "possession of this NFT actually means the person owns this thing"

I.e. a license. "We, X, grant the following permissions to people holding our tokens signed by key <keybytes>: ..." published somewhere believable. (same as e.g. a software license is published on the makers website) The authority to do so is granted by copyright laws.

Tracking who currently holds the relevant tokens is a very different problem, and that's what a blockchain does in this scenario, and NFT proponents argue is better than having some central service that needs to be trusted (but could go away or misbehave) do it, and better than not having an easy way of tracing to the original issuing of the token, which solves the "how do I know you sold a valid instance of this license"/"does this person claiming to do so actually hold a license".

The first part of granting a license is always still boring meat-space law.
I had an insight last night about inflation, and why it's not what we're experiencing today. Prices on convenience and entertainment have roughly doubled since the pandemic where I live. A cocktail was $7 in 2019, today it's more like $13. Milk at the gas station was as low as $3.50 but is now $5. Food delivery charges are ridiculous and unsustainable, but hey at least the services exist.

High prices open the door to competition. Anyone can mix a cocktail for less than $13. Anyone can come up with a better way to deliver food or start a food truck.

So the price gouging "inflation" we see today from corporations and established businesses leaves them vulnerable. If the economy really tanks and commercial real estate becomes worthless as projected, there's going to be so much entrepreneurship, just like in the early 2010s after the Housing Bubble popped. Not only that, but people are hyper-aware of stuff like rent seeking now, so may even buy out their landlords, form co-ops, avoid having an employer or standard work hours, basically do all of the things that should have probably happened 20 years ago after the Dot Bomb. But we got distracted by the War on Terror, which is transitioning to the War on Authoritarianism as people wake up.

If Wall Street tanks, that will be better for Main Street. Having spent my entire adult working life barely surviving, I just don't care if established players go bust. This is a B.S. economy where maybe 3-10% of the population does any real work (like growing food) and everyone else takes whatever menial service job they can get or skims money off their employees. It's a joke. Anyone could do a better job managing the economy if we would ever do the most obvious things like tax the rich.
Protip from someone who is 45 and has had bad knees since he was 15: Strengthen the muscles around the knee as much as possible. The stronger your quads and calves are, the better your knees will be.

The best way to do this is squats with either no weights or just a couple of pounds. You may need to wear knee braces when you do this (in my case I was able to skip the braces after about 10 years)

This is actually true for most any joint in your body -- the stronger the muscles surrounding the joint are, the better that joint will perform.
Thanks a lot!

By the way the version of the course on Udemy doesn't get updated. The full version of the course is at https://buildasaasappwithflask.com/ which includes lifetime free updates (it has over 10+ hours of extra updates and new features not on the Udemy version). Udemy is a really bad platform for instructors which is why I've been trying hard to decouple myself from them over time.

As for a tutorial on using this repo specifically, did you find the readme file lacking in any way? I tried to write the readme to be fully self contained. It would expect prior Docker knowledge tho. I did give a talk at DockerCon going over a bunch of Docker best practices at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/best-practices-around-product.... That talk live demos a Flask example app not Django but everything still applies to Django. The same patterns are used in both projects. It can act as a mini-tutorial on this repo.

Remember kids, propaganda doesn't need to convince you of anything to be successful, only to get you to believe in nothing. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,” . The intention of 'what aboutism' is to get you to do nothing, especially to not speak up in support if you aren't sure. 'Don't Let the Perfect Be the Enemy of the Good'. Don't let doom posters like this one suck you into their world of apathy and hate. If someone says something that's goal appears to be negativity, hate, or apathy, they are toxic, do not rent them space in your head.

After action reports, critical evaluation with a goal towards improvement, great. Apathy, the world sucks, give up? F that.

In the 90s the USA had the developed world's worst infant mortality rates. But if you look at the way we gather our statistics, it is different from all other countries. Why? Because unlike others we didn't manipulate the metrics because it was more important to us to have actual data to help save/improve lives. So who sucks? Who is failing kids? The country who is willing to make itself look bad with the worst metrics so that it can change things, or those not honest enough to be willing to look bad or make self examination?

Yeah, America sucks, but it's 10x better than it was when I was a kid in the 70-80s, or most places I have traveled. I would rather have public suck that can be addressed than the general apathy that this poster has.

Why some people get goosebumps when they listen to music
Ha ha, yeah, I remember a green sales person trying to use the four-square model on me. I looked at him and said "I'm paying cash" which confused him to no end. He had to go see his manager. In the end I didn't buy a car from that dealer. Where the cash comes from is none of their business; i.e., loan or something else.
Take it from me: even people working at big companies with low expectations find a way to report being swamped constantly. They always find a way to stay 100% busy with meetings that they don't really need to attend and tasks they don't really need to do.

At this point I find it more of a negative reflection on a worker's judgment, accountability, and skill than anything close to a badge of honor.

> Many decisions are made in seconds based on an impression from an ad

You are talking about click decisions, not purchase ones. There's no evidence ads can affect consumers' purchasing behavior, in fact quite the opposite.
Most people would probably like to live in a giant mansion on a country estate, but they can’t afford to. If the price of a single family house in a sprawling suburb doesn’t include the actual cost of the infrastructure to serve that home, then really they can’t afford to live there, either. Cities all over the US are running into this problem.
And the architect who imposes an architecture should also design the interface between components.
I totally agree. This sort of thing is not commodity information. I am not looking for a right answer or an oracle (and certainly not Oracle!) to consult for issues we face.

I chose my wording carefully in my question to emphasize discussion, feedback, tradeoffs, and inputs. I do not expect anyone to give me an answer, but I would greatly appreciate being challenged, questioned, and perhaps informed of alternatives. I am also happy to do the same for others where I have worthwhile experience.

The closest thing to commodity information would be an awareness of alternatives/options in a broad category. This also has value, and can sometimes be found. The most common source I have seen for this sort of thing is a cursory overview of the options that a product is replacing in thinly veiled sales copy for a product aiming to solve the problem.

Many people just keep "working" for wherever they "officially" live and stay on the down-low. You get a lot of cash/barter happening also, and try to stay out of the attention of the authorities.
A neat FOSS project. Have to admit I was surprised to see you're hiring and already have 2 developers on staff besides the founder. Where does the money come from? Paid support?

It would be good if the What we do page answered this.

It's your lucky day! You're replying to exactly the comment where I did!
"the motivation there is arguably to help the historically disadvantaged, and not specifically to hurt whites."

Although this is what they claim, it's hard to believe sometimes. Look at the meltdown that accompanied some smart alecs putting up posters that said nothing beyond "It's OK to be white". Wokesters went mad and started tearing them down anywhere the posters were found, implying that in their mind it is actually very much not OK to be white.

Of course, the problem here is that the woke aren't actually using race words to mean the actual skin color. It's all coded speech to hide the true target of their hatred - anyone who isn't as far left as they are. That's why they go nuts when they encounter black conservatives, or why you see white people are perfectly OK criticizing things like "whiteness". They aren't engaging in self criticism there, they've just established a convention amongst their community that "white" is coded speech for conservatives.

Scott Alexander has a great essay that examines this in depth:

The side-effect of this kind of attitude is that the purchaser must capitalize the whole price of a book or work. Right now, if a student buys a textbook, the student pays full price and then recoups some later by reselling it.

The goal of this current scheme is to lower the initial cost by spreading out the fees among everyone who uses a copy. In an ideal version of this model, a textbook that normally costs $100 could be sold for $10 and then used for ten years. The publisher still gets $100 but the students only need to pay $10 each.
champagne, ey? :D
Right? OP is victim blaming here. I'm swamped because my manager manages based on hopes and dreams.
One of my proudest moments during the development of "Linux on the Web" had to be the creation of a Terminal application (try it at https://lotw.site/shell) that can render its output with near-native efficiency. My initial attempt was based on placing character images, one-by-one, onto a canvas element, but it was horribly sluggish. Then I started playing around with a "Virtual Dom" (React-like) approach, wherein I convert the underlying data structure into an html string, and then set the innerHTML property of a div element, for every time the screen has to be redrawn. (Source code: https://github.com/linuxontheweb/LOTW/blob/main/root/code/ap..., the relevant code is the "render" function starting on line 569, and the innerHTML is set on line 940).

I don't know how many years its been that I started working on the Terminal application, but it was only within the past week or so that I "bit the bullet" and figured out how to do finger pad/mouse wheel scrolling of the output buffer (See the 'main.onwheel' function in the source code for that little tidbit!). Since I required fine-grained control over the rendering process, I could not rely on the "naive" way of doing scrolling on the web (which is to simply let the browser take care of the entire process).
Many of the enemy entities (which I’m expecting to be around the ten-thousands in the late portions of the game) are going to be visible on-screen, since most of them are going to be flying above the ground and only the terrain is going to hide them (no big architectural structures on the map obstructing them). And I would like to create lighting effects when they explode, which would require huge lighting counts.

The AI for the flying enemies isn’t going to be too complex, it will probably going to be some variation of boid simulation. However I still expect this to be computationally intensive, particularly when it comes to querying nearby entities and terrain. I am expecting some of the expensive geometric querying can be moved to the GPU via compute shaders.

The reason for using Vulkan instead of OpenGL was more of a pragmatic one: I’ve heard that OpenGL drivers can be hilariously bad on Windows, when it comes to both conformance and performance. Vulkan seems to be better in that respect, since both Nvidia and Amd has incentive to develop decent enough Vulkan drivers since some high-profile AAA games use it. Also, it is a pain in the ass to debug issues in OpenGL, and Vulkan is at least better than that.
I agree. Seeing the next generation of terminal apps that often seem to use "pretty" and "fancy" output formatting (read: "non-parseable" and "overly-decorated") makes me sad. Plain, simple, human-readable, and machine-parseable output can't be beat in my mind.
Everyone seems to be very excited about this framework, and while it looks very impressive, I don't inderstand the impetus for it.

Why do I need the terminal to become an interactive visual app? Why not use the tools that are designed for visual interactive applications- like GUIs ?
I guess I prefer to keep it light and use a true microframework like flask for this use case. I find I can similarly import Flask extensions without bringing in a full heavy framework
I wouldn't defend this, but I think the support for it comes from frustration with being surveilled and micromanaged by remote employers.

There are too many jobs that care too much about squeezing employees for every possible minute of work, instead of letting performance be the proof.
Total commander is linkes to Win+1 for me, no need for Win+E!
Win+2 is for Notepad++

Those two are my most used shortcuts on Windows.

Must give double commander a test run on Linux (and see if that’s better than TotalCommander in Wine).

TCM shortcuts are so second nature that I can’t imagine anything else (never found a good solution did OSX)

My worry is that you can be technically excellent and fantastic at what you are assigned, only to find later on that the project you've been toiling over has been cancelled or valued far less than another team's work.

I appreciate your experienced perspective greatly and it encouraged reflection (I agree with working at a consistent pace), but I believe there can also be a middle ground to have awareness of business concerns to understand when to switch teams or even companies. It's painful to work very hard at assigned tasks, only to find it wasn't valued due to business priorities.
And let’s not forget the big one, “racism,” whose creeping semantic expansion by academics and Tumblr users has consumed and confused Americans since the Obama years.
These are the worst kind of employee, yet so many managers who appear too incompetent to find their rear end even when using both hands seem to love these people. These employees serve as a red flag to everybody else - if these employees are rewarded or otherwise encouraged to maintain this behavior then that's your sign your work culture is poor and it's time to go. On your exit interview don't be bashful to state the actual reason you're leaving. I worked at a place once where they had an employee like that and many people were leaving as a result. Someone in upper management got the message loud and clear and the problem was taken care of. I was about to leave when that happened and the place turned out to be awesome once that problem was resolved. A couple of the people who had previously left even came back. Life is too short to tolerate working in a culture like that and these people are very draining to have to interact with.

Not only that, we've been fighting for 20+ years for remote work. Now that it's finally here, people like this risk reverting back to the commute life. This person should certainly get fired.

Get your work done, you're probably paid well for it. If you don't like what you do, go work somewhere else.
I lead Product Security at Cloudflare, thanks for the writeup Albert and the fantastic security research throughout the past year.

Once this issue was fixed we investigated all prior email routing configurations to ensure that this had only been found as part of Albert's responsible disclosure to us.

Since some comments are addressing that this happened 7 months ago. Our disclosure policy is to allow researchers to write about us once the issue is fixed, but give us a week heads up before they publish so we aren't surprised, can coordinate any public comms we want to make, FAQs that need to be written for inbound questions from customers, and can tailor our response to the issue at hand. Can answer other questions if you have any.

We disclosed the issue here earlier this week once Albert told us he was writing a blog: https://hackerone.com/reports/1419341
I think it’s important that everyone feels like they own the architecture. In practice, it means that everyone puts in ideas and the person or persons in charge only (gently) nix the ideas that don’t fit with their vision. But it’s important that everyone not feel stifled by a heavy-handed architectural vision that’s dictated from on high.

In tech, there’s often many right answers and a leader’s job is to ensure the team lands on one of them, not necessarily the leader’s favorite one. You’ll end up with far more inconsistencies if you have high employee turnover. Team cohesion is often more important than getting all the technical details perfect.
Climate science community really needs to rein in its doomsayers. I get that exaggeration and fearmongering is an easy way to get attention for issues but it ultimately hurts the cause. Like James Hansen back in the 1980s predicting New York City would be underwater in 40 years. Even if it's just one guy's prediction it has a serious impact on credibility with the public when an expert is seen as alarmist and inaccurate.

“For every parcel I stoop down to seize

I lose some other off my arms and knees,

And the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns,

Extremes too hard to comprehend at. once

Yet nothing I should care to leave behind.

With all I have to hold with hand and mind

And heart, if need be, I will do my best.

To keep their building balanced at my breast.

I crouch down to prevent them as they fall;

Then sit down in the middle of them all.

I had to drop the armful in the road

And try to stack them in a better load.”

— The Armful, By Robert Frost
According to those graphs, the employment to population ratio has been rising strongly for the last two quarters... which makes it even stranger IMO.

BTW that first graph is a lovely illustration of how unemployment went up every time there was a recession - until now.
