Re:Ask HN: Issues with AWS MFA? on Wednesday June 07, 2017 @08:23AM (#14505681)
I contacted support and they offered to remove MFA with just an email confirmation. I put MFA back on right after and it works now.

Ask HN: Issues with AWS MFA?

I'm trying to log in to the AWS console, and it's repeatedly asking me for a MFA code (I'm using Google Authenticator). I've submitted several MFA codes in a row, then it goes back to the password step and repeats.I've tried the MFA resync, and that also drops me back on a page that asks for my password, and then MFA again after that. (repeat)Anyone else having issues this morning? It worked...

I first heard this expression in Russian, "первый блин комом", is it actually used in English as well?

Interestingly, Google actually translates this to "better luck next time" instead of "the first pancake will be a lump/clod"

I wish you had!

Maybe there was a split test to see how many people noticed. :)

A question for Patrick, or for anyone else with experience implementing A/B testing from the early stages of a service/product:

When and where do you start? If you start too early, you don't have enough traffic to be statistically significant.

In the article, Patrick said that he started with the trial signup form in his 3rd year.

Most of the advice on A/B testing that I've found is understandably aimed at people with existing business/products that can massively benefit from it. Does anyone have any more material about how to get started from the early stages?

Re:An A/B Testing Story on Tuesday September 20, 2016 @12:48PM (#12540923)
It's a new article. I received it via Patrick's email newsletter today.

Of course, Patrick is all over HN, so parts of the article may seem familiar.

Your jobs page doesn't list any openings in Seattle, are you hiring any developers in Seattle?

I can't wait to see how your app works, it sounds like it could be really useful.

I just signed up with the email in my profile, could you please send me an invite with the next batch?

Did you figure it out? You need two different keys: the account.key and the domain.key. For most of the steps you will use the account.key to sign, but the Certificate Signing Request will use the domain.key to sign.
Re:Entering Public Beta on Thursday December 03, 2015 @04:42PM (#10672878)
I didn't realize you were the author! I figured out that I made a mistake by using the same key pair for Steps 1 and 2. The LetsEncrypt API returned an error that told me to use a different key for the CSR, and once I did that it worked.

Reading back through your instructions, I don't know how you could be more clear that ACCOUNT.KEY and DOMAIN.KEY should be different. It's just my fault for not reading slowly enough. :)

Thanks a bunch for making this tool, it made everything simple.

Have you used this recently? I just tried it 3 times, and every step succeeds until after I've successfully completed step 4, then step 5 displays a failure message that tells me to go back to Step 1 again.
