As the article mentions in a sidenote, a time-bounded revoked sessions table is small enough to keep in memory and can be updated via pubsub for the relatively infrequent case where you need to revoke one. It's definitely more complex

Absent the cell already being cancerous, wouldn't it eventually die off or become targeted by the immune system (I'm not sure if the synthesized spike proteins are free-floating or if the cell becomes some kind of sacrifice for th

Crappy payments isn't a tech problem, it's a market problem. Consumers and merchants can't be bothered to adopt contactless technologies that were introduced half a decade ago. Companies have tried QR codes and other payment

That sounds crazy to me too. By comparison, Microsoft paid $7.5B for Github and Google paid $2.6B for Looker. Idaptive, another IdP (I don't know how it compares in terms of features or client base) was bought by Cyberark for a mere $7

I wonder if it would make sense for Tauri to support shipping a bundled webview engine for platforms where the native webview is outdated or otherwise problematic for your application? With the idea that you could eventually migrate to syst

Light has a tendency to zoom off at, well, the speed of light, and colliding with objects causes it to lose energy. There have been some experiments in slowing down or "stopping" light although they involve some elaborate setups t

It wouldn't be particularly efficient, given that most of the day less than half the panels would be receiving direct sunlight. I think a more practical option would be to put the solar panels above the road, such as https:/&#x2F

Or maybe something like what's being investigated for greenhouses on Mars (which gets less than half the sunlight that Earth receives) using mirrors and optical fiber cables to redirect light.

Pollen in particular is weird because simply being outside should expose you to some level of pollen, compared to foods like melons or peanuts that may or may not be part of your diet. I'm mildly allergic to dust mites and they're

The only value of Bitcoin is its massive brand awareness. Everyone and their doge has heard of Bitcoin, whereas most people have not heard of any other currencies. That's probably worth a few billion in itself, but not more.

It's probably too early to say if the vaccines have had any effect on the mutation rate, since wide-scale vaccination has only just started ramping up. You'd think it'd be easier to say whether people are getting reinfected a

It's not clear how much it'll continue to mutate. Since this is a brand new virus, it's had 100M+ people so far to experiment on, and clearly the early versions were not as efficient at spreading as the newer variants. Once w

EV batteries don't instantly die. After ten years, it'll probably be down 10-20% of its original capacity, which is still drivable but might not work for everyone's commute. In that case, the battery can be potentially refurb

Also your load balancer stack needs to support it, which is becoming less of a problem these days but there's still some stragglers. You could also end up with an imbalance where some servers have a lot of connections and others have f

I assume you meant rockets in your first sentence, as most satellites (other than spacecraft) don't survive landing :) SpaceX/Elon hasn't gone into a huge amount of detail about what's involved in refurbishing the first

Apple disabled both Facebook and Google's iOS enterprise certificates because they were using them to collect data from external participants in violation of the ToS, although that wasn't the main app. And the access was restored

I think part of the problem is the network effect. Social networks want to maximize the number of users so that anyone can connect to you on Facebook, Twitter, etc. The lowest barrier to entry is free, and that usually means ad supported (a

I think I dumped a backup of my Juno emails (90s offline dial-up email for kids with parents too cheap to shell out for internet) but it's probably on some obsolete media like a Zip drive somewhere. Probably for the best.

I think the main thing Bitcoin has going for it is name recognition. Would be better if we could leave proof-of-work in a flaming trash pile and migrate Bitcoin to Ethereum (and rename it Bitcoin)

It'll take more than just belief in the government. We'd need people to actually care about making government better. Most people just show up to vote once every 4 years (or less) and make their decision based on the party affilia
