I'm not familiar with either the details of how JWTs or Macaroons are implemented, that's why I'm interested in a cryptographer or security expert comment on this. Do you think that Macaroons are a sane alternative to JWTs? o

by saganus 9y ago
There's a lot of conversation on when should I use JWTs and when not to. But as alternatives go, has anyone tried using Macaroons? They've been mentioned in HN a few times but I've never seen the tech catch up, even though it

This sounds like a very interesting theme for a novel (or novels). Could even make it kinda like a subgenre of cyberpunk or like a modern version of it at least. I mean, I can imagine some interesting plots regarding people trading bugs in

I think a password manager like 1Password suggested here by someone else would be very useful, however I haven't tried it out with more than 2 people. A bit off-topic: What I would love to have is some sort of hardware 2FA that suppo

Well yeah, maybe arrest, maybe just "come with us we need to chat" intimidation. It was figure of speech. Edit: Or so I thought until I searched a bit more and found this [0]: 18 U.S. Code § 700 - Desecration of the flag of the Un

Just speculating, maybe they wanted to show how omnipotent they where? If you see someone (an adult presumably) stepping on a flag, and then days or weeks later you see them being taken away, you may start thinking those FBI guys know about

If you haven't yet, read the linked article. It's a very entertaining read that expands on this, although a bit long. [0] http://www.stanford.edu/~learnest/les/mongrel.htm

Aha! Very nice. This looks interesting. Even though I probably won't understand it, at least it means I wasn't that far off. Hopefully we will see more of this sooner rather than later. FHE is one of those things that I think woul

I wonder if at some point (hopefully not that far from now) there's some breakthrough or development that would allow FHE in GPU. I'm guessing maybe that could be a front where the unused GPU power can be taken advantage of in des

Just for the tl;dr: "Overall mortalities of bled horseshoe crabs were 17.8% (male = 18.75%; female = 17.2%), while mortalities of unbled crabs were 3.5%." So it appears it indeed affects the crabs.

Thanks for the extra info! According to the article this was indeed the only station-to-station transfer, and although very cool I am not sure exactly why would you do it except for some emergency or for building up a new station out of par

Wow. That's one hell of a story! It's like those hollywood space stories.... Only real. And then... A station-to-station transfer?!? That must be really hard. I mean, I'm no astronaut, but even in KSP it's a hard operati

Well yeah, I'm familiar with it but it's not a modern event and I'm not sure how much of myth and how much of reality is mixed here.

This is truly heartbreaking. I had no idea this had happened before or even that it could happen. Is this not a very rare event? I'm guessing that the survival rate for feral children can't be very high, and even more so if the ch

There are certain efforts with a somewhat similar idea behind them, called "auto defensas" meaning "self-defense (civilian) forces". Basically people in towns ravaged by narcos got fed up with it and started defending th

Yeah, I thought it was too good to be true. I mean, I do have my original D2 1.0 disc... but I'm not sure it works on Windows 7 or not. I just thought this could be a re-release of sorts. Now that I think of it... Blizzard is still pat

Yeah, it's very clickbaity but I figured it was the original title, and the content was interesting enough to be submitted. Hopefully it won't prevent people from reading it because of an anti-clickbait reaction.

Interesting! So ~10% get secondary inspection, and of those ~0.65% where found inadmissible (non-citizen as you point out). Not sure how to feel about it. On the one hand 10% sounds like "not so bad" in that it's actually a m
