Hi Alex, you are correct. This example doesn't have two threads competing for the lastProcessed variable. I did it to be explicit about the kind of operation it is suggesting. Its not obvious for many that a race condition could easily be introduced here if, for example, the value is being written to disk or a database or something to keep track of the offset.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
