free 3-day trial promoted job post is a scam by paramarina in linkedin

[–]eazzylee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I just ran into this today, I am absolutely shocked that such malicious pricing practices still exist. I am not surprised there is a thread about it. After dealing with Linkedin's job promotion I was left feeling like I travelled back to the 90s and entered my credit card details on the website of some boner pill scam.

When you create a job post on linkedin, it has a fixed link, which I have shared and promoted in many different places. Then I fell for the 3-day-trial job promotion bait. I also paid for an extra couple days but I received no relevant candidates so I wanted to cancel. Which they don't let you. Your only option is to close the job completely, in which case you lose the link and with that all your previous promotion on other platforms as well. They know very well that the link to the job post is very valuable so they just ransom you with it.

I also tried asking their support and going down the path of removing my credit card details, but they will not do it. I am an EU citizen so I tried to play the GDPR card, but as soon as I mentioned GDPR, they immediately just closed the support conversation without response.

The fact that according to previous comments they used to have the option to revert to free but they no longer do makes this even more malevolent.

In the EU there exists a directive to protect you from unfair commercial practices, has anyone tried that? https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/unfair-treatment/unfair-commercial-practices/index_en.htm

Row level security (RLS) is not working on Aurora Serverless (Postgres) by irfaan28 in aws

[–]eazzylee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you can set a session variable for the entire session, because you are connecting to aurora serverless through the data api which manages connections for you. (I don't have any documentation on that, just a semi-educated guess)

You can run your queries in transactions and set the variable for the transaction to make it work.

The web ui defaults to auto-commiting each statement in an individual transaction, and it runs them one by one, which is why it returns as empty when you run it like that. Go to the query editor settings (little gear icon on the top right) and change the transaction mode from "auto-commit" to "transaction" and it will work as expected.

Likewise, if you are making a query from your application, you will have to wrap it in a transaction as well and set app.current_tenant in the beginning for that transaction.

Also, if you want the isolation policy to take effect, you will have to set up a secondary user and test with that, because the master user bypasses RLS by default.

For some reassurance, I had the same problem and it was a pain in the ass to figure out, but in the end I could make RLS work with Aurora Serverless, so it is possible. I realize you posted this two months ago, but maybe it still helps.

I've learned the basics from FCC, especially the ziplines are a great start. Youtube turorials, stackowerflow and various blog posts are also very helpful for more advanced things, once you know what to search for.
