This is where you're wrong. You can credit and debit Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable. If you credit AP, you're increasing liability, if you credit AR, you're increasing assets.

I want to run a honeypot for doing more research on bots and the economics for them, but I get bogged down quickly in the planning stages. I should just start with a vulnerable wordpress site or something.

My golden rule of sys admin is if you can't fix it, you reformat and replace it.
If you reproduce the error, congrats, now you get to figure out where to file the bug report with reproduction steps.

Whoops! As a result of your action, your userbase has now hyperfixated on follower counts as a proxy for status.

TFA links to another article on the same story that has more details, claiming that the violence was entirely imagined / hypothetical

A few (but not too many) years ago I inherited a custom compilation of python2.x to make unicode strings work properly. You made the right call, lol.

You're missing the point. There is no internal network in this new model.

This didn't happen all of a sudden in Sept 2021. The flu vaccine has always been about harm reduction and began seeing widespread civilian use in 2007-2008.

It's actually not. Any product making medical claims is regulated by the FTC under deceptive advertising. https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/statutes/federal-trade-commi...

Yes, you can recover a Cloudformation stack from any status nowadays. Ex: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/cloud...

are you really using private keys without a passphrase in 2021?

I go back and forth between doing this on a daily or weekly cadence, but it's also the only thing I've found to keep being useful over time. I always get a wild hair to try and write Markdown or something but really I just end up writing text and it's fine. The most meta I ever get is adding additional keywords for me to search later.

Shouldn't Signal be required to produce all the encrypted data stored for this user, in case law enforcement are able to get the associated private keys off the suspect's phone?

I used Gource to visualize a hackathon, we had everyone start from a templated repo so it was really easy to show the entirety of participants coding activity (albeit at a macro level)

I put my 1Password vault on Dropbox specifically because I can install both apps via iOS store on a new phone and bootstrap my setup with just 2 passwords.
iCloud is actually too hard to recover in case of hardware loss, I don't recommend it to anyone.

Except programmers quite often get the conceptual meaning wrong and incorrectly generalize further. Credit and debit just mean increase or decrease in account balance. You cannot know how it affects liabilities or assets without knowing what type of account is being modified.
