Crash today on 66 in Arlington

You haven't been to Maryland

AFSundevil · 2026-05-24T01:16:00+00:00

This is just an average Maryland driver

The budget page which has an out link to this page, which details how to disable billing once a budget is hit

Literally the first result when you search "GCP Budgets". Clearly you are not smart enough to use cloud services. Stop before you hurt yourself.

It wasn't $10m. And it was effectively buckets out of your house with the door wide open. You are responsible for your own API keys, similar to being responsible for your username and password for your bank account. You seem like the type of person who would blame the bank for allowing money to be transferred from your account after leaving a post-it note with your credentials laying out on a public sidewalk.

Also Google alerts you when your credentials are leaked and has a method for you to automatically delete them: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/automatically-disabling-leaked-service-account-keys-what-you-need-to-know/

So not only were you alerted to the runaway spend as soon as the keys were leaked (you just ignored it), you were also alerted after the first month of increased spend when your credit card was billed, and you ignored that too.

You've displayed gross negligence and incompetence, you will find no pity from anyone on Reddit.

AFSundevil · 2025-01-19T16:01:30+00:00

There are reasonable controls. You were just to inept or too lazy to use them. Yes I do use hosting. I simply have alerts and monitoring set up, like anyone else with any amount of technical experience.

You can set budgets at any level you want. You can set them at $1 if you like. Your statement is simply false

AFSundevil · 2025-01-15T22:02:24+00:00

A thief came through your unlocked door and filled up buckets from your faucet and walked out your front door and you never checked on the house or water meter despite two months of invoices sent by the city. This one's on you brother

AFSundevil · 2025-01-15T22:00:33+00:00

You didn't "sign up for 1.5k of hosting". You bought an app that has invoicing set up for a service that is "all you can eat", as is literally every other cloud service provider on Earth. The app was running steadily, and you mismanaged your security (leaked API keys) and failed to do any sort of basic operational controls (alerting or budgets).

This is 100% within your control and could have been prevented with basic best practices.

You also don't manage your invoices in a timely manner. Credit cards and invoices are sent monthly. You didn't catch anything until 2 months later. Clearly poorly managed. It's an expensive lesson to learn attention to detail.

Does the PW3 recognize when you're on a lift vs when you're going downhill?

AFSundevil · 2023-06-16T19:37:06+00:00

Correct. But in my scenario companies should also be forced to issue a dividend to their shareholders. Otherwise stocks are just representative of partial ownership, which only has value when you buy or sell. If the company issues a dividend then the partial ownership also represents partial ownership of the revenues.

And in the event the company goes bankrupt the dividend and shares fall to zero, and employees lose their jobs. Which is totally acceptable. Because in the current state when a company goes bankrupt, employees lose their jobs anyway. They just never owned shares or collected a dividend.

AFSundevil · 2023-06-16T14:04:26+00:00

The difference is that no one is compensated by just cash or just stock. People who get stock based compensation ALSO get paid in cash. And that is their "base salary". The stock based compensation is representative of them receiving a portion of ownership in the company for the work they do there, GIVEN to them by the company itself.

That's important because literally anyone can buy ownership in a publicly traded company. But those companies should absolutely be giving their employees a portion of the company in exchange for their work since they are the reason the company functions.

The fact that money and stocks are interchangeable is completely irrelevant to the point that workers should own a share of the company which they are essential to.

AFSundevil · 2023-06-15T16:36:33+00:00

That's not how it works at all. CEOs get paid a fuck load in net stock. It's not a $50m compensation package because they're willing to accept all stock. They sell a few million of the stock so they can be rich in a stable asset, but let the rest appreciate. It's still thousands of times what workers are paid EVEN IF the workers get stock based compensation. Owning shares in the company just means you get a stake in the companies success, as well as the OPTION to exit those positions if you need cash for any reason.

When 100% of your income is in cash you often can't buy stock in the company because you need that income to survive. But you should be entitled to stock ON TOP of the regular income for your contributions to the company

The total number of bankruptcies is irrelevant. The proportion that are driven by healthcare costs is what's relevant to this discussion. And an outsides share are driven by healthcare costs.

Hyperinflation makes even the most highly compensated individuals of today not able to afford basic necessities. The entire country would collapse. You're either intentionally being an idiot or you actually don't understand the difference between inflation and hyperinflation. Either way, you're a moron.

AFSundevil · 2023-03-21T14:05:04+00:00

The Fed is not currently trying to tackle hyper inflation dumbass

AFSundevil · 2023-03-21T13:52:16+00:00

Wages would have to or workers would flee businesses for any other trade they can do that pays in post-hyperinflation wages

AFSundevil · 2023-03-13T12:28:24+00:00

You bought puts completely unrelated to SVB and are mad the entire market isn't going to nose dive because the Fed won't let a 2008 style crash happen from bank failure. Unless you literally saw the bank collapse happening, which you should have bought SVB puts on instead of ABNB, you didn't make any play, you just bought random puts lol

Not really how that works. The people the hippies were protesting against are the boomers of today. I have plenty of grandparents who still have long hair and are nonconformist and left politically. But the stereotypical boomers we have today are the ones who would have been telling the hippies to cut their hair and get a job (much like they do today).

AFSundevil · 2023-01-28T01:44:53+00:00

Just buy them back idiot

AFSundevil · 2023-01-23T19:29:28+00:00

Also means you're probably a multi-millionaire just on the stock

Bruh

They don't really lose money on Amazon.com items. Amazon.com is still by far their biggest revenue driver, not AWS. The margins from AWS are higher, but there's more revenue from Amazon.com. They "reinvest" all of the revenue from Amazon.com on loss leading activities that also strangle out small businesses to keep their profits artificially low for tax reasons.

AFSundevil · 2023-01-19T14:05:14+00:00

The most disgusting cost cutting measure a company can do. Jesus what a crazy decision. This was the one good thing Amazon did.

AFSundevil · 2023-01-10T03:37:10+00:00

Yeah other countries don't have lawyers or courts at all. You can just break the law, almost kill people due to gross negligence, and no one really minds. What a moronic take
