Why a new standard than to push for reform to the current standard?

Are they just closely protected by greybeards who won't listen to reason?

Question comes from a true place of ignorance/curiosity, I definitely understand the need to have unambiguous, easy to implement security tokens without the foot-guns.

Or even just an opinionated library with some basic guardrails to prevent bad configurations.

That JWT link sounds like hyperbole.

Can anybody chime in on whether JWT is absolutely broken as stated in the article, or, while it has some issues, the author likes being a bit too dramatic?

pillfill · 7 years ago
Unnecessarly and overly dramatic, essentially arguing that because JWT/JOSE is insecure because it can be used in an insecure manner.

Wow. I automatically assumed that you could still circumvent the random div IDs by just matching against the text itself (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Procedural-cosmetic-f...), but they even obfuscate that!

It'll be really interesting to see where this goes. We currently use Fabric8's Docker Maven Plugin (https://dmp.fabric8.io/) for our Java-based containers. It's a little verbose but works really well- it allows us to run our integration tests directly against the final container images (+ any container dependencies) as part of the standard Maven build.

Your claim and "source" are incoherent nonsense. I regret spending 5m of my life trying to make sense of it and am only writing this comment to help others avoid the same trap.

Your posts are pretty interesting. If you don't mind a couple questions:

- What range of services do you offer? Do you take care of broken bones? Long-term illnesses? What kinds of things do you refer people to a full hospital for?

- Are there many offices like yours around? How unusual is your office?

- How easily could you build an entire hospital on this model? What would the limits of that be?

Not OP, but I'm familiar with a couple primary care providers that don't file insurance claims. It's refreshing to see up-front pricing on their website for services they offer, e.g.: https://www.palmettoproactive.com/services-pricing

It's really disappointing to see that this article has been upvoted. No, not because I have theories to share, I'm not an armchair scientist on any side of the debate. But because these kinds of politically and socially charged (if one thinks anything on climate change isn't at this point - wow) articles were the primary reason I stopped visiting Slashdot.

With so much quality content flowing through this site, the last thing we need is more like this article being upvoted.

There's nothing inherently political about the this article or the science in general here.

There is, however, a very concerted effort to convince people that the science of climate change 'is political' in order to give those who find the issue uncomfortable license to question the legitimacy of the entire field of study. That's as dangerous as it is absurd, and it's important that it's challenged whenever it's encountered.
