Can anyone here explain to me how a monorepo like Google or Facebook handles security? If I pull the repo - I have the entire contents of Google or Facebook? Is that right? Surely that lacks the normal security measures around what must b

I use `s3:PutObject` with versioning - yes. Although I've not tested if only having `s3:PutObject` even allows overwriting in the first place? You might not need versioning. Also - they dont have `list` or `read` access, so they cant e

> Fixing the vulnerability not only requires the keys to be changed on the server, but also a software patch to be rolled out on each affected device. Is this correct? Couldnt they just change the existing keys in AWS to be "write o

As someone who works for Government and Enterprise - all I care about sometimes is how a company behaves when everything goes wrong. The issue with outages for the Government organizations I have dealt with is rarely the outage itself - but

I wonder why it's not Elon himself? He can obviously afford it, and it is clearly his passion, so why not take a once in a lifetime opportunity and head into space?

"“The owner was even afraid of handling it,” Mr. Lyons said. “He asked me to come and get it. I said, ‘Put it in a FedEx envelope and send it to me.’ He said, ‘I’m not doing that.’”" I cant believe he even asked him to do this. Pl

Yes - personally I like it. But I'm trying to be objective and note the lack of correlation between a shows percevied quality and how that does/not translate into ratings.

If you check out the show on Rotten Tomatos it has a tomato rating of 90% with an average audience score of 95%. That seems really high to then cancel the show? I'm guessing the problem is it is highly loved by a small group of individ

I always wish I could just plugin a Google spelling check API into things like Microsoft Word instead of using the inbuilt ones. i.e. the amount of times I cant spell a word, and MS Word has no idea what I'm trying to say, so I "c

The strange thing is the article is a year old? Why would it suddently be exploited now? I find it difficult to believe no one's tried until today?

The thing is I've used Gmail for nearly 10 years (give or take) - and I've never once had a spoofed email reach my inbox. Ever. Something must have changed, most likely in the past 24 hours (give or take) to allow this to suddenly

Here is a raw header for people smarter than me (I've changed my email to "my.email.fake@gmail.com": Delivered-To: my.email.fake@gmail.com Received: by 2002:a02:9d5d:0:0:0:0:0 with SMTP id m29-v6csp2463224jal;

Exact same thing for me. Noticed I was getting emails being sent from myself. More worringly was the emails appeared in my SENT folder. For 5mins I was freaking out thinking I was hacked, because I didnt think spoofing emails would show up

The problem is the codebases are still not "completely independent". If the backend dev needs to change a field in the database, or add a new one, then can might affect the front end dev. Also - simple things like validation rules

IMO (as someone with 45k rep on StackOverflow, largely in PHP) - the best way is to modify the "flag" option on answers - and have an extra option called "out of date". If someone flags an answer as out of date, then any

Can you get StackOverflow to "sponser" this idea? Not just for crypto (which you've done) - but for all PHP related answers? Because the problem is there are many "old" accepted answers, with high upvotes, that will

The problem is if your computer is compromised - they might get a few sites that you visit after the compromise (and before you realise/format etc). But with a password manager - they get 100% of usernames + passwords to every site you

So if you "thought" that Bitcoin will go over $50k - why not buy the Bitcoin itself now at $20k (or whatever it is today)? i.e. what is gained with the call option here?

What happens if the value of BTC goes up or down though during that time though? What will he be entitled to?
