What if this service stops to exist after 2 years? Then any place you advertised/published this subdomain will need to be updated. With your own domain you won't have that issue, ever. Why would you give that up?

On: An incident impacting password resets on Twitter

[chaozznl]

I just got an email from Twitter explaining that there was a bug in the password reset system, causing active sessions to stay active after a password reset.

The comments on that 2 year old video seem to suggest it doesn't work properly when setting it up?

If everyone that reads this simply takes the time to report it, the HN community should be able to get this extension down fairly quicly, right?

While I appreciate the approach of making "the world" a bit better once you see a chance to do so, I also don't think a company like Google should (be able to) leave it to random internet users to clean up their mess.

[geocar → carschno]

They could offer a bounty.

[carschno → geocar]

They could also hire people to do that necessary job.

[geocar → carschno]

I assumed they did.

[sprkwd → geocar]

Yeah, don’t assume that.

I tried the report abuse button and got a 404 when submitting the form. Lol, classic Google.

EDIT: My guess is they delisted the extension right about as I was submitting, since the extension page loaded, but the report submission failed, and now the extension is also gone. Maybe a cache purge was in there somewhere.

[ganeshkrishnan → ocdtrekkie]

I reported abuse few minutes back. Google pulled it out shortly after that.

Also I am pretty sure Google has a "karma" number for users (just like reddit) in the backend where they automatically take down if report is from a user with high karma.

[denysvitali → chaozznl]

It's Google, so, no?

[dijit → denysvitali]

Google’s automated systems do have anomaly detection that would flag it if there were many reports though.

[Cthulhu_ → dijit]

That's exactly it, dogpiling can be discarded as anti-competitive behaviour.

It works on other, bigger and more important Google properties what makes you think the Chrome store handles it properly?

[igbk → chaozznl]

aaaand its gone. Worked two minutes ago, now the link responds with 404.

On: .org doesn't mean credible

[chaozznl]

Why, on a website about being credible, would you not use a free SSL certificate so you can serve the page via HTTPS?

[MiddleEndian → chaozznl]

They have SSL from Let's Encrypt if you switch to https[1] but their server is not configured to do SSL only for whatever reason.

[marwen → chaozznl]

To prove a point, since the website is also a dot org.
