@vince2_ Yeah, they should be doing it these days :)!

[Thang Man @mvthang]

@vince2_ I think you can share the hashed version of your password. Then let them try to compare it with the value stored in their database. And hopefully, it's not vulnerable to dictionary attacks :).

@amazon @AmazonHelp It just happened again today. So, if it cannot be solved, I might have to deal with my banking for double checking that annoying me, tbh. Thank you.

[Thang Man @mvthang]

Dear @AmazonUK please help check your payment system again. I have already deleted my account last month, but don't know why my banking card is still being charged for AMZ Prime Sub that I don't use. Thanks.

[Thang Man @mvthang]

@amazon Before getting rid of the account, I have tried to share the issue with your customer chat support team, but it did not help.

@calif_io @lcamtuf Thank you for sharing! Is this speech recorded?

[Thang Man @mvthang]

@iamt33c33 The Garnacho's pass is so perfect!

[Thang Man @mvthang]

:):)

@lcamtuf Zero. I referred other papers as a trick to get the authors of those papers to read my papers.

"Oh gosh, who's this sucker that referred my paper? Let's check it out"

[Thang Man @mvthang]

@ahmetb Interesting. Thanks for sharing a new thing.

Think twice before you make an order, that's their advice!

[Thang Man @mvthang]

Everyone should be aware of a fact that the refunds may incur fees (foreign currency conversion and/or transaction processing). And @VisslesOfficial @Vissles_Shop will not certainly cover those fees for you in any circumstances (regardless of whether it was their mistake or not)

[Thang Man @mvthang]

Hi @Vissles_Shop

Your LP85 product looks awesome. But the logistic service is hard for customers outside the US to order it. In fact, you ship to US only at the moment. Hopefully, you would make it better!

[Thang Man @mvthang]

A good note on the nature of complexity in a software system.

@TheNJDevOpsGuy It’s a feature. It gives you time to reconsider if you really want to do this.

@iamt33c33 From the blog post:

"Even now, one of our most trafficked services today still has a single node.js instance serving 60K requests per hour (topic for another blog post)."

Don't know how many services they have, and how many requests/hrs that each one sending to GG Sheets API.

[Thang Man @mvthang]

@iamt33c33 Could they request quota increase? The default limit number is (300reads + 300writes) * 60min = 36K/hrs

They could also implement Exponential Backoff Algorithm that Google recommended in their node.js backend.

This practice needs to be stopped.

In a Facebook post, a Singaporean man accused immigration staff at Hanoi Airport of asking for a bribe when he was trying to leave Vietnam. The man gave in and paid 500K VND ($21). His post was shared 6.2K times in 2 days. I hope there will be a thorough investigation into this.

@dit_phat_xiet Just a minor typo: Đồng Tháp, not Đồng Nai. Thanks for sharing!
