Not only that.

Copenhagen is littered with electric hire bikes, very often just a few steps from a bike rack with empty spaces.

Only one of the companies makes users photograph the bike to show it's been returned to a suitable spot.


Photographing bikes or electric scooters does nothing without enforcement through the city. It allows tracking down the person who placed it wrong, but in the absence of fines through the city, the rental companies surely won't start fining their customers and drive them away.

The Lime app (bikes and scooters) refuses to close down a trip if you enter an area where parking is forbidden or if the picture shows that the vehicle is blocking the sidewalk or pedestrian paths.

It will also 100% forward you a fine if they get one and their records show you were the last user who misplaced it.


> All the sets and figures from the new Wallace and Gromit film are safe because they are being exhibited elsewhere in Bristol.

That looks to be what's being auctioned.


That has only partially mitigated much smaller attacks (residential proxy scraping etc) on my employer's site.

We're currently on the "Business" plan, but I'm coming to the conclusion that we need to upgrade to the "Enterprise Advantage" plan for the JA3/4 fingerprinting and detection ID features.

I get put off by "Contact Sales" pricing.


Here's my take:

* JA3s are mostly useless. JA4s supersede them entirely.

* Using JA4s in rate limits is pretty useful and helps a lot against proxy scraping. It was not very helpful in this attack.

* Bot detections are somewhat helpful but they don't solve scrapers/attacks by themselves. They're useful as a 2nd/3rd data point (eg. low bot score + bot detection + something else)


isn't JA4 also useless because it is so easy to spoof tls. For eg. cycletls for nodejs etc..

It will probably be useless one day. In practice, it is still useful today though not for this attack.

There's also the JA4+ suite (https://github.com/FoxIO-LLC/ja4), in addition to standard JA4.

At the level of wealth of owning one of these yachts, hotels will ensure they have the bed and pillows you want, and your PA will arrange it when booking the hotel.

I would equate the wooden cabinet to the PC's metal case — the ore must be mined, the metal extracted, etc etc.

Once you've done that, just add the computer chips.


One year after we graduated, the guy I'd shared a flat with in London got a £30,000 bonus from the small fin-tech company he worked at.

But the more stressful work, and the idea that I'd be working to trade stock a few nanoseconds faster than the competition, didn't not appeal.


> Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has 20,000 network access points, 1,849 IPTV screens, and 519 CCTV screens. It hosts about 63,000 viewers

A decent part of that is probably important to be working on the day of a football match. They already own a suitable building, probably with decent backup power, so running their own servers seems both more reliable and cheaper than renting.


> A decent part of that is probably important to be working on the day of a football match.

Otoh, if they only need the servers to run while guests are attending matches (and other events), it looks like they do about one event a week from their calendar [1]. Why pay to have the server 24/7 if you only use it for maybe 6 hours a week.

With that kind of utilization, cloud may well be cheaper.

Reliability you can argue either way. Onsite has the benefit that there's no external network causing problems; however for a site like that, you're likely to have redundant high capacity internet providers so that's less of an issue. Certainly, when there are server issues, having them onsite provides more agency, but I don't think that means it's more reliable.

Northern Ireland isn't an exclave.

By the “connected via territorial waters” rule, neither is Ceuta.

Probably would have made the diagram a lot messier, though.


Cambridge is top ranked for everything they offer.

But there's going to be a difference between the students who finished with the highest grades, and those who scraped through.


"Cambridge is top ranked for everything they offer."

You know that there are places outside of England right?


The "maintainer" who responded wrote:

> To help ensure reliable access, we recommend updating workflows that use HTTPS Git operations to authenticate with a Git credential, such as a personal access token.

so it looks like anonymous access to Git repositories is being limited. That will be very disruptive to many people with build scripts etc. It's disappointing to see it rolled out without any announcement.

(I am seeing about half of Jenkins jobs fail with this error.)
