I've had real issues with Azure. The (opaque, non JWT) refresh token seems to expire well before the access token is due to expire. Unless I force the access token to be refreshed 20 or 30 minutes before the stated expiry time then the

If it doesn't require you to prove your identity with a gov issued document then you'll be able to create a new account. My FB account certainly doesn't have my real name. If it does require you to do so then run away from th

If you get banned, just create another account and then don't do the thing that got you banned. It's really not that difficult.

In a similar vein, Maglev hashing has a more uniform distribution and decent reshuffling. I couldn't get my head around the explainaions that I had seen until I read this one: https://www.usenix.org/sites/default&#

Given that the risk of myocarditis after covid 19 infection is six times worse than after vaccination [1] this is just a cost of doing business. (where "cost of doing business" is defined as "not dying from a disease which is

Absolutely no idea that you were not a native English speaker - as far as I recall it's been impecable. Genuinely, hand on heart mean that (although the following sentence will be tongue in cheek). However, if you're looking for o

Clearly it's not just pronouns that the anti-woke have a problem with, it's also proper nouns.

Ahh, the capitals are important - they help you not to conflate things. I might not support Antifa beause of (some of) their activities. But I'm anti-fascist because I'm not fascist. I might not support BLM (although I'd stru

With respect, I haven't asked for an essay, just an update to the definition. Simply amend the following line from Merriam Webster: chiefly US slang : aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of

I really am genuinely trying to understand how woke has become the bogeyman du nos jour. It's become a hysteria - say something is woke and you ascribe some mythical attributes to it that cause people to fall into paroxisms. Same as a

OK. So what better way to hightlight the corrupting of science than by citing an unethical experiment that ignores all the rules of science?! This is a bit like the group at MIT sending deliberately vulnerable patches into the linux kernel.

What is disingenuous about saying that the literal definition of woke seems like a good thing? I said nothing about Antifa - why are you creating a straw man? Stick to woke. If you would like to propose a new term that encompases the origin

Indeed. And alive immmediately before 9/11. And in the 90s, and the 80s. And the 70s. Jingoism subsided? Really? MAGA, America First, The BNP, Britain First. Its really not gone away. And surely an increase in empathy, tolerance and un

But why would I go onto Twitter and say that, unless I was a massive racist? And why, as a doughty protector of free speech would I not be perfectly fine with anyone using their own right of freedom of speech to reply to me? Robustly. Is it

Neither is it exclusive to the woke, or anyone else. What I would really like to see is a concrete example, which so far everyone has declined to give. It's customary to provide some actual evidence to back up claims. "Your honor,

OK, the actual definition on that page is: Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is an English adjective meaning 'alert to racial prejudice and discrimination' that originated in African-American Vernacular English (AAVE). Google says: ad

I don't think so. I'm just stuggling to see why being alert to racial prejudice and discrimination is bad thing. If you would like to explain why it is, please do.

I don't think that I am oversimplifying anything. Why are you conflating freedom of speech, moderation and censorship? Freedom of speech means the government won't come and arrest you for saying something. That's got nothing
