I wonder if an extension to the concept of jwt that extends the cryptographics chain down into some hardware component such as a TPM or secure enclave is the right answer. Basically the payload of the token could contain a pubkey for checking a signature on the request payload. The logout button would then have two local effects on the client side: delete the token and tell the hardware component to forget the private key.

It even uses the exact same syntax as in html, so as long as svg content isn't specifically excluded, normal web scraping would just work without modification.

I would go even further and say there isn't any indication that we are even close to what is possible. My subjective feeling is that with the current rate of progress it is entirely possible that we will have GPT-4 level performance locally on smartphone hardware within 3-10 years (unless companies decide again that they don't want to give this kind of power away)

If you actually read the pages that you linked, you will see nothing of the sort you describe. One page is literally talking about wages only. The other says that unions want companies to train employees so that they are prepared for automation. Anyway, no use discussing here, because apparently facts don't matter.

So unions block innovation by insisting the government pays union-level wages to construction workers.

I can tell you what is the difference between unions in Europe and unions in the US. As far as I can tell, unions and paying fair wages are not blamed for lack of innovation in Europe. We do have a lot of news about the fight over wages, but for some reason this antagonist union bashing in the media and general population seems to still be an American phenomenon.

Right, in Europe there are no unions.

Nowadays there is also more and more nothing shared besides the kernel. Look at technologies like electron, docker, flatpak, etc.

Similar to multiuser: Security is important, but as applications get more and more powerful it is not about what individual users can and can't do, but what each application can and can't do.

You can also get independent data. For example what drivers have to pay for (liability) ensurance based on make and model. The rating system in Germany puts a Model 3 at rating 20 (out of 10-24, where 10 is lowest cost for insurance) this is much worse than many older cars without any assited driving. For example my 10 year old Ford was on 17, my current VW (which has a lot of assisted driving features) is at 16. Of course it is not only the car safety, it is also influenced by the average driver behavior. But it seems in general Tesla isn't doing great when you look at such independent data.

That is great to read and I genuinely believe everyone with such adverse experiences will be better off if they lived their life with this attitude. It is also a healthy attitude to focus on what one can control, which is how they choose to think of their situation and act in it.

We should not forget though that at the same time the system in place will also produce people that face live with the same attitude and do all the same things, but with much less success.

Now the big question is, if we can have a system that does a similar job in encouraging your type of attitude while at the same time helping those out better, for whom it doesn't work out as much. Or are these things mutually exclusive.

There is a guy who cofounded a successful company and sold it. When asked if he would retire, his answer is no. Not because he isn't ready for retirement. Not because he wants to continue working or be even more successful. Because he has kids to put through college. Even successful people are not free of financial worry.

I wonder if all this success if fueled by constant adrenaline, no matter if it helps the individual or not. And if yes, if there is a better way.

I don't know, I don't want want to be too political here. But there were people saying out loud that it would be better to have no police at all a few years back. Not sure how common this position is nowadays. But that shows that it is easily possible for people to come to unrealistic conclusions if they don't have a real dialog.

I find it interesting how it probably evolved from "people on the citizen review board don't know what it means to police" to a moderate position of "why not add a retired policeman, so he can at least explain it to them?" to "fuck it, let's dismantle the whole thing"

When the monitors connected have the same serial number the OS could just use the connection side to distinguish the monitors, i.e. where is the monitor plugged in. I gets bad when that is not possible, for example when using a bluetooth headset, where suddenly you hear someone elses conversation because you have the same MAC adress. This requires a workaround on the users end: manually change the MAC adress.

Isn't there a fundamental difference between buying a copy of a newspaper/magazine vs buying a subscription? I would love to be able to pay a few bucks once and be able to read a number of articles for that. But that's not how it works.

The US is special in being able to build and sustain huge tech companies. But the most important (internet or otherwise) services for anyones' economy don't require such huge companies.

Not saying that the loss worldwide free communication wouldn't be painful, but I think it would be as painful for both the providers and the consumers of services.

Since the extended integer types are just aliases to the other types, they wouldn't solve the problem. Also in C++ these aliases create a problem with overload sets when you mix the two worlds and try to produce portable code. For example long on some platforms is 32 bit and 64 bit on others, also platforms use inconsistent fundamental types for 32 and 64 bit aliases. All in all if you want to produce portable code you neither use those extended integer types nor long. You assume char, short, int, long long are 8, 16, 32, 64 bit respectively, which holds on all relevant platforms.

Even on Amazon (in Germany) shipping is free starting at 39€ only. It used to be 19€ a few years back. Often when I add an item to get free shipping, they are then shipped separately anyway (presumably they are stocked in a different logistics center), so it's not as if this whole thing reduces actual shipping overhead. They are just selling me more stuff.

I think at least one participant is visibly uncomfortable with the fact that a f*g internal meeting is posted for the entire world to watch.

I think this story is not about the result. The story is about the journey how he got there. When he realized that his original plan wasn't working he did it differently, but told it as if he sticked with the plan, which was the reason he got all the attention.

This doesn't feel like hiding anything, it is about openly lying.

Anecdata from Germany checking in: I have 2 kindergarden aged kids. They have 13 cousins. I don't even know how many second cousins.

Another reason is likely clipping. When drawing the cursor you have to prevent pixels from being drawn off screen to the right or bottom of the screen. If the cursor were symmetric, you would have to watch out for the left edge of the screen as well.

I guess the problem is that we only have a single example.

I had to check if that realistic. 40 million gallons at 85 feet is 11MWh of potential energy. At 70% efficiency it would take 16MWh to pump that. That has to be a small amount of energy compared to what ships take for traveling the detour.

I barely remember what it was like waiting for the bus with nothing else to do. But I remember vividly what it was like that the school bully was next to me waiting for the bus with nothing else to do. Hope my kids don't have to know what thats like.

My point is not that smartphones and social media are great things. But I agree with OP that they are just filling a gap created by something else. It is still possible to be bored or have time solely with your own thoughts with social media available. Why? Because even kids can (and do) understand that social media is not all that great. Of course they have to experience that on their own before they understand it. It's nothing that you can teach them.

More like 8 or 9 dice landing on the same number.

It's not uncommon nowadays to pay 300€ for a Schulranzan in Germany [1] for 4 years of primary school, as opposed to 450$ of the price paid in Japan for 6 years. I don't see a fundamental difference.

> the "a" connector has not been deprecated.

Actually, it is:

> The three sizes of USB connectors are the default, or standard, format intended for desktop or portable equipment, the mini intended for mobile equipment, which was deprecated when it was replaced by the thinner micro size, all of which were deprecated in USB 3.2 in favor of Type-C.

Sure there is. But since it is not a continuous range there are the fixed separators --T::. between the parts. It is the javascript time format, which is a subset of the RFC3339 and ISO8601 time formats. The separators help at least to allow for a variable amount of sub-second digits.

The sad reality of large software companies. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if there are engineers who spend their entire career without getting any of their code into production before each of their projects are cancelled.

If he is writing 125 lines per week, then it is hardly going to matter. He could be typing with his nose and get the job done.

Even ignoring that your facts are wrong, even the high energy use at construction, the bad energy mix in electricity used to power EVs combined with the charging inefficiencies and the fact that EVs are considerably heavier, etc. ICE cars are still worse in terms of carbon emissions. And the size of the gap will only increase from now on.
