My big issue with JWTs: securing images. With cookies, a browser attaches the cookie on the image request. With JWT, a browser does not send it with the request. Cookies are far easier in this case.

There is also the issue that even if all of the money were split between everyone--some people would spend all of theirs and some would save theirs. Wealth is accumulated money, not income.

Entirely this. It may be that the data that is collected is not quite as useful as the government thought at the time the bill was written.

Yes, I'm inclined to believe that rent control is a symptom, not the cause. The cause appears to be ridiculous zoning and building restrictions. If more housing is available such that the price drops, then rent control isn't even

The government provides incentives (tax exemption) for employer provided insurance, which distorts the market. Seems like extending that benefit to freelancers or eliminating it entirely would be extremely helpful. https://www.me

You didn't really explain how the American approach was absurd. Also, 7.5 hours seems extremely arbitrary. Why pick that number of hours? Why not 4 hours? Why not 9?

Our coding test is over Skype and a collaborative editor. Is that a scenario when you would freeze up? Genuinely curious as there were a few cases where it seemed that people were way nervous.

What do you mean catered towards juniors? I interview people a lot and part of the interview, junior or not, involves a short coding test. The reason it is done is because some people can skate along and make an impressive resume but there

Resilience, willingness to learn, and humility can be the potential, but I would also say that they are the candidates attitude. Yes, I would say that attitude makes a big difference.

How expensive would it be to put space heaters in every classroom? Even window heaters are only $500. Surely a school district that spends $17m a year on maintenance can come up with that. My guess is bureaucracy/mismanagement is the r

You definitely don't have to go into debt like that. I know plenty of people that worked and went to community college for two years, transferred to the state school for the final two years, and graduated with little to no debt. People

Yes, I think you are right. There are a lot of factors involved. Hard to say that US success is due to specific things. California is a US state that has higher social support and higher taxes but does well economically. It is too simplisti

Payroll is the number 1 expense for government agencies. Easier firing would make a world of difference. I think the root cause is pensions. When people are tied to pensions for a retirement, firing people becomes a much bigger deal. Just p

A benefit is strong typing. A change in the model breaks the queries and the code doesn't compile. You change the database when you are using stored procedures or direct queries and your code still compiles fine.

Taking subway or tube is usually sloooooow. So many stops. Also, especially with the tube there are sometimes ridiculous distances to walk just to get down to the station.

It has only two landing wheels--one in the front and one in the back (called bicycle landing gear). The chase car tells the pilot what to do to keep the plane balanced on two wheels as it goes down the runway. At the end, as it slows down,

Creaking floorboards can be solved by attaching the floors more securely. Just screw them down. Usually it is caused by wood moving against nails.

Run it down the center of the freeway? Having stations for trains in the middle of freeways isn't great for pedestrians, but might be fine for long distance transport such as hyperloop.

A fair point. I'll agree that those properties are mostly not 'move-in' ready. However, the 4 year time period allows for redevelopment of properties. Also, my main point is that the author's data source is unclear. How

Where is the data from? How does Detroit not have enough housing to support such a company? I'm guessing a lot of cities can build enough housing. Detroit especially has lots of housing--maybe not new builds in certain areas, but they
