What I'm reading is that you agree Trump represents the republican party. Great, the gp's comment has been settled.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

The main use case, in my opinion, is for tests/CI. SQLite has traditionally been used to quickly run tests, however, if your actual infra uses PostgreSQL then the value is limited.

Uber's business model is to be a loss leader to hamper competition, then jack up rider rates and lower drive rates. This is technically a 'working' business model, but hardly one that benefits the people.

> Hang on a minute. How do you square your claim that it's as it should be that train drivers can be paid as much as airline pilots, with your claim that everyone else is underpaid, including, presumably, airline pilots

What is inconsistent about those two things?

You can simultaneously believe that train drivers and airline pilots deserve to be paid more.

> He said that his team had hoped for it to become a prescription medicine dosed at 500 mcg, because anything higher gave paradoxical effects and actually made sleep worse.

Tangentially, I'm reminded of this interview around ~31m.

TL;DR they found something that promoted deeper sleep, but people didnt necessary feel "well rested", and so it was shelved for something that subjectively improved sleep but actually reduced the quality of sleep.

There are a number of products and open source tools that do this. Look up "secret scanning".
