I moderated a large Reddit community (circa 2014). She threatened to have articles written about how we were racist/misogynistic, unless we removed comments she didn't like.

Her being nasty elsewhere doesn't surprise me...

I suspect that he at least uses AI for scripts. He tends to repeat the same thing worded slightly differently a few times.

Is the implication that someone can't dislike both?

Absolutely not but it is very rare for people who are very anti-Israel to apply the same criteria they judge Israel by to other countries.

If you find an exposed token in the wild, for a service supported by GitHub Secret Scanning, uploading it to a Gist will either immediately revoke it or notify the owner.

Ok I see, so any public gist with an algolia key in it will get invalidated? And it would have to follow some pattern like ALGOLIA_KEY=xxx ?

it works for any gist, public or private. it doesn't need to follow a certain format. it's just based on how the secret itself is formatted—it works for secrets that have a predictable pattern, like the AWSK prefix for Amazon keys.

if algolia keys have this predictable pattern, then they can enroll in secret scanning. If they don't then they probably can't

How is reminding people that they can safely revoke exposed API keys not informative? Why are you being so combative?

Because "This has to be one of the dumbest, most reckless threads to have been posted (and so vociferously defended) on HN."

AWS sends me an invoice for $0.01 every month.

Me too! AWS actually charges my credit card $0.01 every month.

I'm surprised they don’t just waive low balances, like many banks do [0]

How is it economical for AWS to charge a credit card for a penny? I wonder what Amazon’s agreements with interchange networks must be like...

They send me an invoice for $0.00 and I cannot seem to convince them to stop

Just pay it, freeloader.

Same here! Am I being charged a fractional cent rounded down to 0? Who knows!?

I'd get out the checkbook for this. It'd be worth a stamp on the off chance they actually tried to cash it.

tbh, I'd send them 5 cents and see what happens.

You'd be charged 200$ for manual accounting effort to figure out the mismatch

Kotlin Coroutine's structured concurrency. Cancelling a parent automatically cancels child jobs, unless explicitly handled not to. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/coroutines-basics.html

Stupidly, child cancellation cancels the parent scope as well, unless the scope opts out by including SupervisorJob.

Parallel and Series makes sense to me; it's also the terminology used for electrical circuits.

The purpose of command and control servers is to send and receive data to victims devices.

A secondary goal is to do so while evading detection. This is why many threat actors piggy-back off of legitimate services, it disguises the malware communications and avoids directly exposing the upstream C2 instance.
