I think you're thinking of a different attack vector, namely, forging a new JWT. Whereas the parent poster said "what would happen if I stolen his token" (for example, via XSS). So in that case, it's a legit token in the

They probably just mean proof of purchase. The other important bit is the serial number (analogous to a car's VIN), often found under the bottom bracket.[0] You can (and should) register it with the local police, and there are a few on

It depends on which components get mixed with which. For example, one brand's shifters sometimes aren't compatible with the other's derailleurs. Also watch out for chain widths relative to cassette gear spacing (more a concer

Very good points. I agree that many established companies are going to be very wary of making the jump. My hunch is that if they have a real shot, and this is assuming that most of their promises turn out, it's not going to be going a

This is drastically over-simplified, but in short, the Mill is a sort of middle-ground between superscalar implementations (x86, ARM) and VLIW (Itanium, DSPs). Superscalars leave a lot of the optimization process to complexity in the hardwa

Yep. Atheros chipsets also tend to be quite reliable. Broadcom used to be bit of a red flag, dunno if they've gotten better. https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers

It still gets me the original tags/attributes were all uppercase. Personally, I'm quite thankful that didn't stick.

In my experience it's a bit of a catch-22. I find by working for people I respect, I learn more about how I can get to the point of having the freedom to do whatever I want. But until that day comes, I have to keep my head up and my at

Agreed. The other route which seems popular are the "free trade" agreements, but so long as it's corporations writing them, as far as I can tell such deals are moving in the opposite direction of what would be best for the en

I fully agree with your point, but especially for the specific example you've raised, I think there are some very difficult complications that arise from the (lack of an effective) current global governance model. For instance, regulat

The nuances of the game are different from strictly trying to predict the future. Casinos don't try to predict the future of every spin of the wheel or roll of the dice. Every individual game is random. But over a large enough sample s

The ironic thing is, most of Walt Disney's biggest hits were all based off of others' works in the public domain. A fact whose implications are sadly lost upon the people who continue to rubber-stamp copyright term extensions.

Yea there have been updates to it, I dunno why they included it like that. What I do is use a forked version of Skeleton-Sass and include normalize.css as a dependency, so that npm always pulls down the latest version. The changes to normal

According to Wikipedia, 11B cubic meters is the correct total capacity, with 8B cubic meters being the active capacity. Meaning, they try to keep it at 8B m^3, with 3B m^3 of flood-control capacity.
