Sort of, except instead of free time it was full time. After reading the Zanzibar paper, we had a strong conviction that this solution could address many of the authorization challenges we've had in our past products and roles.

Hi HN! Jake, Joey, and Jimmy here, founders of Authzed (W21). Today we’re open sourcing our production-ready Zanzibar paper[0] implementation for the world to use. Zanzibar is a centralized relationship based authorization system that Googl

> The fact that cars depreciate seems like the best reason to "rent" them. The manufacturer ends up dealing with the now less valuable asset. Except that they charge you for all of the depreciation plus a rental fee. The dealer

Good point, then you are the bad actor!

This seems impossible to me without a bad actor being involved. How did you get stuck there in the first place? In one scenario you departed from a wall or hand hold somewhere and air resistance slowed you to a stop in the middle. In that c

We don't have a white paper. I wrote about my particular interpretation of the Zanzibar paper[1]. As far as the differences due to cockroach vs spanner. There are only a few minor ones. Without TrueTime cockroachdb relies on their hybr

At Authzed, our implementation builds on top of CockroachDB (inspired by spanner) to get those same latency and consistency guarantees. As you are someone else who has read the paper, we would love to get your feedback on how well we'v

We're working on just that at Authzed! After being bitten by inflexible authZ in the past, we decided to build a company to solve it. Take a look, we would love any feedback: critical or otherwise.

I always have this conundrum when cooking a steak on a hot pan: Is the thermometer still settling down or is the internal temperature actually just rising quickly?

Thankfully gravity is also lower.

It's a really well designed distributed system for calculating access control decisions at scale. It makes a specific authorization CAP tradeoff that allows for consistency around access checks to different "versions" of a pi

Surely then there is a watercraft that leans neither? What do we call that!?

In the ShareWith app we have support for different roles that can mutate access, e.g. resource/group manager or viewer, where managers can grant additional access. Because we layer in access at the authentication provider layer, we don

When you say policy relations, do you mean specifically the policies that we've written to drive ShareWith? Or do you mean the ability for developers to write their own policies for their own apps? For the former, I can see that it mig

Similar! We're focusing much more on the seamless sharing side of the experience vs upfront policy configuration. ZTNA supports more protocols out of the box; we have plans to expand the the variety of services we can protect based on

Seems really annoying to have to define that standard and keep the schemas up to date vs. just having the same thing behind an API in the cloud.

I would honestly just prefer to throw the click away if the thing it's going to send it to wasn't there when my brain decided to click.

You didn't address, and I don't know: what is the relative environmental impact of growing human-grade soy vs. livestock-grade soy? Is there even necessarily a distinction?

I read an article recently that made it seem as if VPN wasn't the panacea for GFW that westerner's think it is. Apparently the GFW throttles encrypted connections heavily outside of normal business hours.

Throwing a failed currency out of a currency basket is like the proverbial tree falling in the proverbial forest. It would not change the value of the Libra at all. The value would already be gone as the value of each stablecoin is computed

What an absurd way to say it too. So bad, in fact, it may be intentionally dishonest.

Until you're forced to start publishing quarterlies, or until the employees all unwittingly sell to the same would-be hostile takeover buyer.

I think that's literally the point they were trying to make. You're not the target market so you didn't buy them.

Genuinely curious: for what? Under what context can the bank push for you to have more money? Debt-to-income? More down payment? Assets after closing? Why should they care?
