Two years ago, we founded Aserto to simplify authorization for developers. Authorization is critical and hard to get right, yet isn't a source of differentiation for most applications.

Google [1], Airbnb [2], Netflix [3], Carta [4], Intuit [5], and others have written about their authorization systems. It's clear that these are all significant undertakings by sizable teams. Most engineering organizations don't want to spend their precious cycles reinventing this wheel.

Over the last two years, we've collected a set of best practices that are common across these projects. We call these the Principles of Authorization [6]. Our goal has been to democratize these principles into an authorization service, and save you time and effort.

Topaz [7] is an open source authorization system you can use to start building robust authorization in minutes. It provides fine-grained, real-time, policy-based access control for modern cloud applications. You can deploy it as a sidecar or a microservice in your cloud, ensuring low latency to your application.

Topaz combines the best ideas from two cloud-native authorization ecosystems: OPA and Zanzibar. Read our blog post [8] for more on why we built Topaz.

Happy hacking!

You've missed the footnote next to the word "Britain":

>Usage is mixed. The Guardian and Telegraph use Britain as a synonym for the United Kingdom. Some prefer to use Britain as shorthand for Great Britain. The British Cabinet Office's Government Digital Service style guide for use on gov.uk recommends: "Use UK and United Kingdom in preference to Britain and British (UK business, UK foreign policy, ambassador and high commissioner). But British embassy, not UK embassy."
Thanks for posting, I was actually wondering why `poetry` couldn't find a version of one of my packages.
Yep, I did some integration with a large firm in Japan in the mid 2000's. They had a whole room of people that just sat at their desks and napped or read a book during the day.
If you care about it, don't store it exclusively in the cloud (AKA somebody else's computer). Consumer cloud services offer no guarantees of the longevity of your data and providers like Google are well-known for turning off services that are not profitable to them with minimal warning.
I thought about this a lot. Initially, I wanted phone authentication, but decided to do that next time when the problem arises. Then I realised that the goal of this is long term investing, I.e. 3-5-10 years. I doubt these “return miners” can do so over the long term while writing good insightful posts on their positions to build enough reputation to thrive on the platform.

But then again, it’s still possible to maintain two to three accounts running different strategies. And so moving forward, I’d either try phone auth or Stripe’s identity verification.

Yeah, I abandoned Android on my TV for this exact reason and now I use the TV as a dumb screen for an external streaming box (also running Android TV, but one that's less locked down and allows me to install my own launcher and control the UI).

I wish dumb TVs with good panels were easier to buy.
Are you trying to insinuate that the Indian ocean is the only water body with a plastic problem?
This is all unnecessary. Social media is a soulless advertising platform that destroys peoples sense of self and being. I don't use them and I live a nice life devoid of vapid self promotion and other nonsense.

Resist. Delete your social media accounts.
Yes that's a pain
Because last time the Conservative party members had a vote and Liz Truss stood on a platform intended to appeal primarily to them. The reason she had to depart was because it tuens out she actually believed what she was saying and attempted to implement policies that were widely regarded by the markets and everyone else as, well, utterly batshit.
HPy [New C API for Python]: Debugging Features
I fully understand, but what would you recommended to an accountant? a business analyst without technical aptitude? a business owner, again with zero programming aptitude? Excel is intuitive to begin with, it gets ugly fast and almost impossible to debug but for small sets of data it is very easy to explain how to use it and you get results fast.

Interesting study. I read most of it and couldn't immediately find any big mistakes. Unfortunately, the study does not compare official government tests.

In addition, the study compares up to Q1 2021 (average would be feb 2021). By then it had 580k confirmed COVID cases on a population of 10 million (5%) and it was in the middle of the first large wave.

Personally, I think the study is not 100% convincing, but important to position within a larger frame of evidence.

I've written an AGPLv3 no-js link aggregator with tags in Django/sqlite3 which I self host at https://sic.pm but without an active user base. You can self host it for your own community however: https://github.com/epilys/sic
Containers and deployment and all that jazz. This is the exact kind of cargo cult nonsense that drives people away from self hosting due to the apparent complexity. NONE of that is needed to self host a website.

Just install nginx from your repos and <html><head><title>My first website</title></head><body><H1>Wow! Hi.</H1></body></html> into a index.html and put in in your www directory. Done. And done in a far more secure, far longer lasting, far less fragile way than anything involving containers or "deployment".
Shoot, it's dead. Lets dig up an archived copy of this.

Insecticides are designed to wipe out global populations of insects rather than just controlling pest insects inside a limited area? If you have actual evidence for this, it seem like it would form the basis of significant lawsuits against pesticide companies because we would have evidence of intent to cause significant ecological damage.

The Conservative Party's rules for electing a new leader say that the party's MPs cast votes for candidates in successive rounds, with the candidate getting fewest votes in each round dropping out, until there are only two left. The party's wider membership (i.e. members of the public who have paid the membership fee) then vote to decide which of those two get the job.

Last time, Sunak got the most votes among MPs by some margin, with Truss coming second; but Truss won when the vote was put to the party members (possibly because they were very pro-Boris Johnson, and regarded Sunak as disloyal, seeing as it was his resignation that effectively forced Johnson's).

This time, Sunak was the only candidate to get enough nominations to run at all, so he won by default (though the number of nominations he got showed he was again the clear favourite among the party's MPs).
The quality of the material produced is evolving quickly, and the cost to entry is dropping as well. There's a difference in being able to produce one convincing piece of fake news or abusive material in a week or in 15 minutes.

FYI this was admitted by Psaki during a press conference, and referenced several times later.

Anyone paying attention should already be aware of what occurred. Whether or not it was illegal will be for the courts to decide.
It's always easy to say "The world would be a better place if those who disagree with me would just...".

I'll raise your "Russia should just..." with "NATO should just not expand into Ukraine". Sure I'll lose some internet points but I'm illustrating that your simplification does not reflect that the other side has what they perceive as a valid point of view as well.

Nothing in the parent comment is referring to its "race". He is a billionaire with a rich wife that hasn't been on a working class family wages for a very long time if he ever was. He cannot fathom the hardship that he is about to unleash on said working class.

i get paid a monthly retainer to wait and respond to calls for help. often times i have nothing to do. but that's the definition of my work. i could go and find more things to do, but i don't have to.

maybe it helps if you reframe your current situation in that way. apart from that, if you can, i'd look at side projects that relate to your work
Even funnier is that 666 is a positive/holy number in Judaism.

It represents the creation of the physical world: The 6 directions, (cardinal directions plus up and down), and the 6 days of creation, and repeating a number represents strengthening it, i.e. it represents perfecting the physical world.

It's also the Gematria (numerical value) of a prayer requesting divine mercy.

No one can seriously defend MMT now after central bank monetary policies during the pandemic led to inflation everywhere.
You've made a lot of arguments itt:
1. Closures, all two years of them, were fully justified from a public health perspective.
2. Learning losses weren't all that bad.
3. The tests are arbitrary anyways.

On point 1, it would be helpful to look at the public health outcomes of districts that closed for two years vs. those that didn't. I don't know the answer on that one, although I do know my kid's private school was open for much of that time without anyone being hospitalized.

On point 2, we "only" went back to 2003 levels. "Only" 20 years worth of losses doesn't convince me.

On point 3: Yes? Tests are to a certain extent arbitrary. But these ones show a clear bad trend. You could ask the children to paint pictures of clowns as a test and if the number went down it would probably be a bad sign. These tests are less arbitrary than that, and lower reading scores in particular are correlated with a higher high school drop out rate.

You could argue that "bad things happened but it was worth it." But you can't reasonably argue that "nothing bad happened and the tests are all bunk and also it was totally worth it."
> While studying at Stanford, he met his future wife Akshata Murty, the daughter of N. R. Narayana Murthy, the Indian billionaire businessman who founded Infosys. Sunak and Murty are the 222nd richest people in Britain, with a combined fortune of £730m as of 2022.
If you ever get the feeling that you're good at Excel and have some kind of mastery of it, go watch a YouTube video by the infamous 'Pharma Bro' Martin Shkreli.

Setting aside that he is a pretty awful human being, his skills at Excel are incredible, and something to behold.
It really needs a debug formula feature that allows you to look at a formula in a more readable format.

I keep seeing ads on Instagram for people selling spreadsheets, or courses that teach you how to make these spreadsheets, that are totally unsuitable for Excel. Like how to keep your recipes in Excel. CRM spreadsheet. Etc.
This is a good example of why there should always be an alternative way to access services besides a website or app. There's always an assumption that a computer or a phone is available to do things as simple as making an appointment right through to something as complex as planning and buying a vacation, which is fine up until it's not an option any more. In the past 20 years more and more companies have started to fail at this. It's practically impossible to do anything more complex than buying something from a local shop without access to tech now.
Not a mistranslation, exactly. It depends on whether you rendered Nero's name from Latin or Greek. In Greek, Nero's name was written "Neron". The letter 'n' had a gematria value of 50, so when transliterated into Hebrew, the extra 'n' would have made the calculated value either '616' or '666' depending on what source language the name came from.

The goal for everyone is should be to make sure you have enough cushions in your finances and other parts of your life that you can politely say “fuck off” whenever or whyever you feel like you’re being treated poorly.

I mostly agree, but it is very difficult to get there, and once you're there it's easy to forget how lucky you got along the way. So I would say the goal should be to have enough cushions to stand up for yourself and others, knowing you could afford to leave at any time.
i disagree here! Not because i think you could not be right, but because there is much more room in one space.

Like under this advisement apple never would have gone into phones. There was literally a phase were we were joking that somebody is building the "uber for X" or the "tinder for y" and im pretty sure a lot of those did get funding without having a single line of code in their names.

That (and the other comments) just seems pointlessly argumentative.

Unfortunately oftentimes people do not use the new modern features of Excel. This is often the root of the problem. For example, lookup formulas to do joins is not necessary anymore with power query in the picture. Old habits die hard...
Nothing to see here. Fake news. Move along now.

Ultimately, I doubt any changes will come out of this. What would be the ideal outcome (or even possible positive changes) from this lawsuit?
I'd also love an HN-like community for scientists.

The closest I know of is SciRate [1], where arXiv papers are posted. Users can then upvote and discuss them.

I don't feel it has reached critical mass, so it's still of limited appeal to me. Though I know some quantum computing researchers that use it, so maybe it's dependent on the field.

If your goal is to raise money, then you has better make sure you have done your homework for the business reasons and justifications for the product or service.

The best business plans are summarized and laid out in the product or service demo.

I'm still not clear about what your definition of MVP is.

MVPs (product or service users that are loyal and passionate users or influencers) are typically used by large companies that want to generate positive marketing, spin, what have you for their product or service. You sell them, they sell others. Or, you pay them. Yada, yada, yada.

If you are writing here about a "most valuable product," then using the term MVP is silly. MVP indicates your other products are not valuable just based on the usage of that term. Avoid minimizing your products or services.
As a scientist on HN, I usually start scrolling from the bottom of threads to find those overlooked comments by domain experts. Then upvote them even if I’m not certain that they speak the truth. Maybe that is unethical but I want to encourage scientists to participate even if the general atmosphere is kind of oppressive. I wish there were a way for scientists to tag themselves, maybe by getting shadow banned?

GitHub's just a tool to me. I can put my project any number of places, including my own server, any time I want. Why would I pay for compute ("means of production") or contend with a lower limit when I can get it for free from GitHub?

I don't know what you mean by "taken away from you" or "control over likeness" or even "legal protections". Code is intangible, it can be multiple places. If you're referring to Copilot, my code can already be taken whether I use GitHub as my base of operations or not, because it is public and GitHub feels the thing is "fair use"...

You throw around big words that apply to other industries, but what specifically do you think I lose with software?
Discoverability? Uh... I think you may be dragging commercial concepts into this that don't have a place here. For a personal website people discover it when you link them to it. Or discover it 4 years later after google has indexed it and it happens organically. But you don't ever have to care about "discoverability". You're not trying to get a bunch of hits, or profit, or whatever.

A personal website is something you do for fun. If this personal website is serving as your resume to get hired or sell stuff, it's not a personal website. It's more commercial/profit crap. At that point, yeah, use all the cargo cult you want. Business want to see the tools and technologies they use demonstrated.

I've been hosting superkuh.com from my home PC for 20 years. When my IP changes (maybe once per year) I just log into my registrar when I notice it (it's okay if I don't notice for a day or two, no big deal) and update it.
They're much more easily recyclable, at least. The continued existence of aluminium cans for drinks makes me feel the weight can't be that big a dealbreaker, too. I'd imagine a lot of plastic in things like packaging simply wouldn't be there anymore at all (e.g. getting rid of clamshells for paper-based shells), or would be significantly reduced.
