If the only thing that ever comes of this is containing GIF reactions to the original message's thread this is the best, most productivity-boosting slack update ever.
This morning was real confusing.
Couldn't find any status pages showing disruption, users couldn't log into the system but could use it if they were already logged in.
Ran around like a headless chicken until I spotted this and a couple of vague tweets about Google+ being down.
I'll bet most, if not all of the best sysadmins in the world would be in utter befuddlement if someone in their office was using a simple "idle" iphone as a keylogger. It's so out there that it'll make you think you're going crazy: the perfect crime.
People with networks of fake accounts routinely set them up in advance & run simulated activity.
This is normally used for e.g. selling fake likes. It's taken as a given that you will have regular churn as accounts are detected, occasionally high spikes of turnover as fraud detection and safeguards change, that kind of stuff. Often the action of converting network behavior into currency activity is what burns accounts.
Given an alternative way of rapidly converting part of that network into a compelling quantity of USD, and the fact that you're routinely rotating accounts anyway...offering to pay money or money-equivalents for Facebook connections in an automated fashion is pretty much screaming for fraudsters to call in the biggest airstrike they can before you come to your senses.
I believe that these days you need some secret threshold of karma (HN internet points) to be able to downvote. Now that you mention it, I have indeed seen way fewer power displays of the infamous "downvote mafia" recently, so I guess it works.
Where and how is the url actually invalidated after it is used? (or are you relying on expiration as invalidation?)
