    As an American, I regret to inform you that you're trying to use logic to understand a situation where it seems like logic wasn't used (in terms of the economic impact). These are …

    Yep. The issue is most people I've seen who lean most on these tools do not have that discipline.

    Hahahaha. That's actually amazing.

    I'm waiting for the AI apologists to swarm on this post explaining how these are just the results of poorly written prompts, because AI could not make mistakes with proper prompts.…

    Yeah, I'd bet their burnout risks aren't going to go away by just replacing k8s with ECS. I also hope they have a good support contract with AWS, otherwise they are going to be in …

    Maybe it's just me, but it was a bit of a disappointing read when the author decided not to provide any details about what's replacing it. Would have loved to hear a bit more about…

    This does assume they aren't able to also compromise the encryption key used to protect the secret: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10845985 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?…

    It's extremely risky to use MFA via text messages, due to the commonality of SIM swap attacks. Attacker calls your cell phone provider, executes a social engineering attack to auth…

    So as I mentioned in another comment, it's not entirely security theater. If the site enforces that an MFA token is truly one time use, then this can prevent replay attacks of your…

    Disregarding the other replies for a moment where they rightfully call out that it wouldn't be radar, wouldn't they still need a publicly available API for this data if they wanted…

    In the timeless words of Jay-Z: I didn't pass the bar, but I know a little bit. Enough that you won't illegally search my shit.

    Seems kinda lame that you created a new account just to make this comment. Maybe instead of being mad that a mouse ate your food, get some proper food storage?

    I think there are many people who legitimately feel unsafe when they feel uncomfortable, which is an a super unfortunate situation because it makes critical conversations much hard…

    This state machine is inherently unsafe for concurrent use, because the CurrentState and Transitions fields aren't completely protected by a mutex. You already have an unexported m…

    I also don't use the account for anything that could get a suspension. No public user content, not used for SSO, and I don't have anything programmatically accessing my account. I …

    I've seen many systems that disallow the password reset flow when you sign in via SSO, since the expectation is that you as the service provider are not the authority for the user'…

    Worrying about situations like this is exactly why I try to avoid SSO at almost all costs for personal stuff, and instead prefer to use a username/email and a unique password. I re…
