The IRS & USCIS only get to do what Congress allows them to do.

When corporate lobbyists want the IRS to crack down on illegal immigrant workers, then there will be an effective crackdown. Until then, it will be possible to (cheaply) use stolen identities to get jobs past online verification.

Nova Law Review article with some background of my original post:

Department of Labor is upset that one of the consent decrees with Walmart gives them 15 day notice before any investigation of wages:
https://www.oig.dol.gov/public/reports/oa/2006/04-06-001-04-...

I can't find the consent decree where Walmart gets advance notice of Immigration investigations. All of the primary links are dead. 30 or 60 day advance notice - this will prevent SWAT-style raids like those at the Swift meatpacking plants. Like the above one, if Walmart is "in compliance" when Immigration is allowed in the door, then they are exempt from fines & penalties. Walmart paid $11M in penalties for this one. Several of the blog posts reporting on the consent decree imply that the no-jail plus advance notice were a result of large campaign contributions to one political party along with political appointees interfering with enforcement actions.

A Thorough Introduction to Paseto. JWT: The Good Parts
Make the case that it's unreasonable to not want Soviet nukes in Cuba.
The more I’m on the smolnet, the more I believe that there’s no content on the smolnet. Only conversations.

You will not find that trendy topic everybody is talking about. You will not find buzz and virality. You will not find a bunch of content creators with thousands of consumers happy to comment/reshare.

And that’s the whole point.

You write in the smolnet thinking you write in the void. Then, sometimes, you realize you are part of a conversation. Because you see posts replying to you. Because you receive emails.

The web is now mostly a huge stadium where we watch millionnaires playing football. The smolnet is the grassy field were you can play with others, having fun and improving your skills.

The small field is not there to replace the huge stadium. You can even enjoy both.
Taxation, and tax-based redistribution is wrong even when it's used for a good thing.

The society has a moral obligation to feed it's poor, but government should have nothing to do with it.
Of course Ukraine is an independent, sovereign state. Russia wasn't making that demand of Ukraine, per se (AFAICT). The demand was largely on existing NATO / EU member states to actively deny any request from Ukraine to join.

And, of course Russia would likely not acquiesce if such a demand were placed on them.

I think whether that demand is reasonable or not depends on one's perception. If one is a NATO ally or dependent, then anything that limits or reduces NATO power is a bad thing. If one is not, then demanding a buffer state between the sides seems like a middle-ground compromise from their point of view.

I'm only replying to these comments here to illustrate the importance of looking at a scenario from your opponent's point of view. Using the word "reasonable" requires context and perception. No matter how much one might disagree with the opponent, and how morally-right your side is, it's still important to do. It helps one understand their opponent's motivations and anticipated outcomes.
I know at least one private school around here has pretty damn good & healthy (but not extravagant or fancy) lunches at something like $2 more per meal per day than what the public schools charge. It amounts to roughly double the cost.

The public schools here don't even seem to operate real kitchens anymore like they did when I was a kid, and aren't equipped to actually cook at all, but just to heat up frozen stuff. Instead of even assembling sandwiches from ingredients, they serve those might-as-well-be-a-candy-bar "uncrustables". That's the degree to which they don't function as a real kitchen anymore. Not-coincidentally, I expect, I'm pretty sure most "kitchen" staff isn't even employed by the schools anymore, but by companies they contract to handle lunch for them.
> So if 'government' pays for kids meals, OTHER PEOPLE who may have decided to not even have kids are now partly responsible for your decision to have kids. In what universe is this even remotely ethical OR rational?

My life will directly benefit by the wellbeing of the humans around me. Less children stealing for food means less criminals on my streets and in my neighbourhood. Kids who aren't hungry will act out less and can learn better. Well-educated next generation will pay for me when I'm retired. It's a simple investment in my opinion.
It will definitely improve from here onward. On the other hand, I agree that it's a ridiculous thing to say that traditional movie-making is over. There's so much involved in making a movie, so much happenstance from the actors performances in a specific environment. You will never be able to get this in AI.. you might get some sort of mimicry, but the comparison is futile.. a movie isn't just a sequence of changing pixels.
One thing that would help me have confidence in shuttle would be pricing somewhere between the $0 and "ask us" tiers. Something to consider after exiting your alpha.

I suppose that's what the "host for yourself on AWS" approach is for, it would be great to see some docs written for that too!

This is neat. I'm a huge fan of serverless as a backend. I happen to enjoy writing JavaScript, so my needs are fairly well meet, but I'm increasingly using rust for side projects so I'm glad to see someone taking the time to make it easy to use and deploy in a serverless environment.

This game seems to do weird things if you have a player able to disclose their choice in advance too. Stating that you will choose 42 is stronger than stating you will choose 1, assuming other players only maximize their own odds of winning. It's kind of like a convoluted game of chicken.
In Canada we don’t feed kids at school. If a kid doesn’t bring lunch, it’s their parents fault. If that happens frequently it’s considered child abuse. Lots of elementary schools here (mine) don’t even have a cafeteria!

I was surprised when I found out that we’re one of the few developed countries that doesnt have any kind of lunch program. I feel like our system works fine though and since I’ve seen the garbage that American children are fed I think it’s actually better this way

Well, as a citizen of one of the former buffer states, I really don't think there's a single bit of reason in that demand. I have the context and perception of living under Russian rule. Russians don't just have buffer states - they plunder them. Tens of millions of people in Ukraine have done nothing to deserve this fate and now that I'm also considered "the West" I won't let them fall into it if I can help it.

Every single nation that ever had something to do with them and was fortunate enough to leave their sphere of influence is trying its hardest to join NATO, isn't that a little telling? Perhaps Russia is not only looking for buffer, but wants more?
This "the invalidated JWTs list is smaller" argument really doesn't hold water. Size of cache is a red herring (unless you are facebook or something). 99.99% of the time the most important variables are simplicity and security, surface area for dev errors or attacks. Smaller invalid cache fails on those fronts and only is superior in ways that don't actually matter.
I sympathize a little, but this phrase "sexual racism" is weird. The article defines it as:

> RSD, also called sexual racism, often manifests as website users expressing preferences for partners of certain races, ethnicities, physical attributes or stereotypical behaviors in their profiles

I mean, the continued existence in multiracial societies of distinct racial groups is concrete evidence of -- in the literal sense of the word -- discrimination. Is this not ok?

On the one hand, it's maybe not surprising that norms around nondiscrimination that we see in hiring and renting should also start to appear in reference to dating.

On the other, it feels a bit like that repurposing of otherwise-leftist rhetoric (about inequality and just redistribution) that talks about sexual inequality and "involuntary celibacy". It's just another form of poverty, the argument goes, to again be solved by government redistribution. Of course, this runs into our beliefs about the sanctity of women's sexual choices.

Or are all contradictions resolved through reference to an implicit power hierarchy of the semantic categories involved?

Whatever the case, it feels like a balloon is being floated here to ask, "how far can I push these concepts?"

For example, gender and sex discrimination are also unacceptable in employment contexts. Why should it be ok in dating?

Sure, but that’s a lobbying thing. AVgas isn’t what runs jet engines (as I’m sure you know), it’s what runs hobbyist planes.

And given how many other externalities there are to hobbyist flying (noise, airports on prime land, etc.) US hobby pilots find their way onto various political committees almost as matter of survival.

It also doesn’t hurt that the average hobbyist pilot is a wealthy white man above 40.
No one - OP included - is arguing that there are no good use cases at all. Just that most situations don't call for it, and you're better off with something less complex.
>"A universal benefit guarantees 100% utilization"

Not necessarily, I know a lot of progress has been made since I left school but back in my day there were some seriously low grade meals served at the cafeteria. It was not uncommon for other kids to bring lunchables and homemade meals to eat instead and we'd throw out the tray of food provided to us. I'm not anti-free school meals for all, however. I just wanted to add the caveat that the 100% utilization metric is not quite as it seems.
Medieval Wound Man Illustrated Injuries Likely from War, Accident or Disease
You're absolutely right, but then we reach the, "why are you using JWTs?" part of things. if you're issuing them for your own service because that's what some guy on reddit said you should be doing...
Outside of quality improvement, it would be interesting to have a way to persist a theme. For example, a way to save the teddy bear as a character that can be used in other videos. Or a way to save a version of “large medieval town with a grassy town square” as the set for a movie.
Indeed, a large part of cell towers are hosted on the rooftop of residential buildings and mostly connected to the same electrical network.

In France, most homes have a smartmeter (called "Linky") and these could be used to have very precise load shedding (they communicate with PLC) but I believe this feature is not available or developed (yet?).
I wonder how expensive it would be after awhile, if the food was very basic and boring. I suspect that most people who do have other options would get bored with it relatively quickly; McDonalds may exist but so do many other restaurants.
The other social benefit for free school meals is that all the kids eat the same food together at the same table. Literally breaking bread together with no class separation. That pays dividends on all sides for years to come. It’s a real shame this isn’t a universal thing.
In the 90s, I remember the noise of the SGI Indigo2 Impact graphics, too :) It hissed and clicked when displaying complex scenes.
One could argue that acquiescing to the bully now will make it harder to push-back in the future. From that perspective, "now" isn't resaonable.
Over the summer holidays my office had free lunch bags for kids - your kids could come to the office, or you could take the bags with you. Any bags that weren't taken by 6.30pm were given away through Olio, so were with people who wanted them outside the business ASAP - they were collected by a local Olio rep, and with people how wanted them sometimes by 7pm.

Pretty cheap for our company to run - helped out parents who needed it, was fun for the kids that got to come in and then zero waste as it all went out to other local families if we didn't use it all.

> So they should have some kind of ability to target at least a kind of user.

Industrial power is easier to separate because it is almost always a separate grid region. There aren’t many houses built up against your local steel mill or refinery.

Cell towers are collocated with residential areas because that’s where the users are. The power for homes and cell towers comes from the same source.
> faster first meaningful content paints.

That seems like trying to address one of the symptoms, not the underlying problem. "First meaningful paint" means nothing to me, depending on what the developer means by "meaningful". Why can't I just have the whole page load and display quickly?

A lot of this nonsense is because of mobiles. Mobile browsers don't handle some UI elements (checkboxes, radios, drop-downs) very well, and all the browsers have "interesting" incompatibilities; so developers use these compatibility shims, which usually result in a badly-degraded desktop experience, and slowness for everyone.

So I'm blaming the mobile browsers. They don't deal with standard markup properly.

> Who's going to fine them and how are you going to enforce those fines? They are cut off from the western financial system. The Biden administration induced a fake default which nobody takes seriously by not allowing the Russians to pay their creditors. The creditors are filing lawsuits against the US government.

From what I've seen, fines againist a supplier generally mean you pay them less later on. Germany would just pay the supplier less later and since there are multiple pipelines they will be supplies later.

And Russia isn't cut off exactly. Since half of Europe needs to be able to pay them. And Germany, for sure, still wants to pay them.

> A lot of people saying it's over for traditional movie-making

While these early versions are primitive, as a traditional filmmaker I think in a couple years these technologies will creatively empower visual storytellers in exciting new ways.

It seems to be pretty common in Washington, DC. Offhand, I can think of St. John's Episcopal at 16th & H Sts. NW, St. Matthew's [Catholic] Cathedral on the 1700 block of Rhode Island Avenue NW. I think that the First Presbyterian Church at 16th & Kennedy NW does. All this is from just my regular commuting or running routes, so I suspect one can find quite a few more examples.

Apples and oranges. US is not and never was plundering Cuba, unlike Russians who plunder every single state in their sphere of influence until nothing is left. This is not about some nukes on Cuba, this is about living like a normal person and not in a corrupt, fascist despotism where you die decades prematurely and nobody cares.
> Tools like PowerPoint and MS Publisher have allowed (for decades) the ability to just drag and drop anything you want onto a screen, save it, then send it to someone, and it will display for them exactly how it displayed for me

The tools you mentioned have a fixed viewport size, the web does NOT have it.

99% of the difficulties of a web design is in supporting all possibile client screen sizes / ratios.

A powerpoint like experience is trivially to build, just use position: absolute and place everything pixel by pixel.

The iPhone analogy is a bit of a stretch. I'm not sure what "millions of equipment" it replaced. If you're referring to software, the PC or Blackberry was already accessible to those who weren't ultra-rich.

As for the heli market, the vehicle holds one person, not 2+, and can't fly as far as a heli. But it is less about consumer demand and more about the infrastructure, excessive noise, airspace constraints, and the dozens of other public-facing issues that would arise with any attempt at expanding that market.
If you have a "true microservices architecture" as the article comments, you have a time budget for every request from the front end, through the graph of calls on the back-end.

Let's imagine a call-graph budget of 300ms. Every hop after the request lands on the back end takes a bite of that. Let's imagine a straight stack of calls three deep with no branching. Front-end makes a RESTful API call to Service A. Service A calls B, B calls C, and C queries a database.

Diving down to the bottom, the database call + networking will take 50ms (it's a big query), service C spends 5ms filtering, and another 10ms reorganizing the data into its response format and returns. 65ms eaten.

Service B deserializes (3ms) and acts on the data (10ms), then serializes the response (2ms). 80ms eaten.

Service A gets this back and chews on it for a bit to put it into shape for the front end. There's also a layer of proxies and caches the request and response goes through, so another 20 ms here. 100ms! Great! We're under budget (because we're not counting network latency back to the UI)!

Now imagine, that for every one of these hops, we add a 10ms call to a session service, and processing time (hopefully tiny) to review, and error handling. We've also only covered happy path, we've not considered call retries, branching calls to resolve additional data, each with a +10ms check for that session.

Now that time budget is starting to chafe. Validation of signed tokens with claims eliminates that 10ms tax on every call, and it is a big deal.

How do I know? I work on a system with hundreds of microservices. We use JWTs for back-end authentication. Thank goodness the article clears us to use JWTs. :)
Lots of messy terminology use here. Example:

> In addition, since [opaque] tokens are stored on the server, they can carry more data than JWTs, and you can easily revoke them if necessary.

Opaque tokens don't carry _anything_. THey're just an identifier used to query a database inside your application. The article repeatedly implies there is meaningful content inside an opaque token.

More messiness:

> Opaque tokens cannot be read by people that hold them since they are undecodable strings. A client cannot read the contents of the token

Sure they can be read. It's just that the totality of the content _is_ the token itself.
Some people have to pay the bills and some go with the flow. Just usual propaganda.

Wonder if all these things will bring about a kind of cambrian explosion of creativity.

Imagine a future of Prompt Wizards, who are able to coax the AI to generate things in a very specific way.

Although we would probably need a much greater level of human curation. The way algorithms curate on youtube and spotify just doesn't really hit the spot.

Perhaps stability and Dall-e already kind of showed that the value is not so much in the physical act of creating, but more-so in the ability to express something that the AI can represent and which can connect with you.
yes, but they ask about the difference between session ids and bearer tokens (NOT jwt).
