I still contend that many of these types of "startups" are merely elaborate ponzi schemes. Actually, I think a lot of businesses are just that.

Do you think that only one US political party supports this crap? What about the patriot act? There are tons of other examples about how this isn't a partisan issue, and getting people to think of it as partisan only helps their goal i

Quit electing people like this. There are signs WAY before you need to "try to vote him out of office".

Do you want to stop responsible disclosure of bugs like this in your state, Missouri? Just leave it for people who will actually misuse it? Because that's what you seem to want ... quit electing morons.

Color me surprised. I really don't understand the whole "double down" approach to doing things.

For as many times as the article stated they are "surprised" and "completely baffled", maybe they still are.

He would have great luck with a bench top belt sander with 250 grit, and sticking to the higher grits by hand for final polishing. Much easier when you can let a power tool do most of the work.

I'd hate to inflict us any further on the universe, to be honest.

I hope you are incorrect. I will be extremely sad if this mission is not successful.

I think another good example is psychopaths. There are plenty floating around, but it's sort of the prime feature of their behavior - they really only care about themselves. So, why would they write a book to give society a glimpse? Th

I mean, wouldn't a true nihilist simply not care to spread awareness of their position? Maybe there are plenty and they just don't give a shit.

If you're going to blame the US, might want to reach back a bit further too. We've been "intervening" in the Middle East long before Obama.

Wouldn't space-faring civilizations be more likely to exist along the galactic plane, which we have a much harder time examining?

Everything is a tool in a toolbox. JWTs are not a good replacement for sessions for a couple reasons - * You can't have decentralized authentication AND invalidate a token. * You have to have complicated client side logic (op

by mmazing 5y ago
In our case we only pass a user id (which is public information anyway) and encrypt the token on top of that. I think the encryption isn't necessary but hey why not.

I've worked on projects that used JWT to maintain session data and it's definitely a horrible idea. Halfway through the project it became very apparent that we were reinventing the wheel - having to solve problems that were never

I recall hearing of a mode one time where elevators would only go to the 2nd floor and not the 1st. Something for crime, etc. Maybe it was from a movie or something ... Edit : Thanks! Found it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

If its effectiveness is as good as they say, seems like you could just use 1,000,000x less catalyst and end up with something as effective as current technology. $190 million -> 190 bucks ;) Seriously though, couldn't they just use

Modern developers have the luxury of computing power, but you're right, it can only take you so far. I've heard far too many people say things like "[hard drives/memory/cpu] are fast, who cares about how efficient t

"After experiencing the kinds of bugs I described above, it became clear to me that – despite their merits – immutable data structures are not a silver bullet." There ARE NO silver bullets. So many developers want them, but they d

I think one of the main issues with deepfakes is that it allows public figures to DISMISS evidence against them as "fake news" since the general public doesn't generally have the knowledge to determine whether it's true

I'm sure people had the same things to say about computers that required the space of entire rooms in the 40s. "That's nice but we'll never be able to scale this down any more."

Yes ... would have been nice to have some sort of explanation for what they actually are (and what the differences between all the "ends" are).

Unfortunately that's actually what the future holds for the universe (as far as we can tell from current observations). The universe will expand so much that civilizations into the VERY distant future will not be able to see other star
