If port 80 is open and there's been a mistake with cookie marking, then you can passively leak your critical cookies over an insecure connection. Having "seen this in real life", it's better to just not accept 80 to prot

It was generic log aggregation used mostly for incident response and forensics as well as some offline metrics. There were a bunch of metrics that were being created (like 3 different ways) on box with parsing that we were looking at moving

If you want streaming inserts to BQ, that becomes the biggest cost. Dataflow could be used to turn inserts into batch and gather interesting metrics that you don't want to hit BQ for, but I don't think anyone's open sourced a

You seem to be implying that the world would be better if they didn't do this research, that doing it as a tech company to just apply the tech is immoral. Is that what you really mean?

I believe trailers are because you could start streaming a response and end up having an error than you need to communicate out of band. Hopefully someone has a better answer though.

The most interesting chaos experiments are the ones that show you gaps in your observability, when you know you've broken something and know you can't see it. The teams I've been on have learned that there are different sorts

You're telling me that it pulls maps without tell Apple where it is? If it tells Apple where it is, then the location history exists, almost certainly at least for fraud / security uses.

I reviewed the Google location history for this and I was driving about 100 miles between stops, admittedly conservatively, but trying to stop with at least 20% battery. As a side note, I found that often Supercharging was not at the 200+ m

You don't know the geography of the drive but you have very strong opinions on what actually happened. Classic Hacker News nowadays. Let me know when you own a Tesla and drive it down to 5% battery.
