And when you get blocked by whatever anti-bot tech the site is running?

Not sure I understand the point your are making. how is this unique for bots with their own identity? Bots hijacking a user session can also be blocked

Bots skinwalking their users inherit the behavioral scoring of that user. As a rule, they'll take a lot longer to get blocked than new bot accounts would.

Seems unlikely. All three market leaders have roughly equivalent products, even ignoring the Chinese models. Google is better vertically integrated, as well. They'll end up competing on price, or worst case capacity rationing.

I think he's just young and awkward, as we all were at some point.

amazing. PG said "write for the youth, you have to just corrupt the youth. only way to create generational institutions."

When you say own you mean fractionally, or founder level share only?

The thing is even if you 'have' the equity share as an employee, you might never get liquidity. And (super obviously) most startups fail.

So even if you have a decent chunk of 'ownership', you really, _really_ need to believe in it to be working those hours. I'm talking the kind of belief built on your specialist and insider knowledge about why it's very likely to crush everything else. And even then you can get screwed!

most people do not understand the underlying value of the securities they hold.

Most 'London' airports are outside of London and they still charge a ton for parking. Captive audience. This one is unusually cheap, even for Gatwick.

I don't think car alarms detect these kinds of vibrations. It's specifically tilt and more impactful stuff. Certainly, the alarm is never going off when I get my car back via the lifts that I've used. It's probably too smooth.

Car alarms go off all the time on ferries from cars that really don't like being locked and moved.

Ferries tilt and jolt in a way that predictable-path car lifts don't.

Yes I see this all the time on BC ferries. Usually an Audi or similar

The problem will be aftermarket car alarms. There used to be a car that parked on the street near my apartment that would go off ever time a bus went by it.

Some OEM systems are sensitive too. My mother has a Hyundai that triggers the alarm whenever a heavy truck drives by.

There's even a somewhat famous song about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z-8vy6sPQQ

Where was this? I've only seen it in London at very high end residential places. Even then it's rare. Most privately-owned public car parks in London are dilapidated and full of thieves, but still command premium pricing. It would surprise me if one bothered to build the infra for this.

As in the other comment here it was in the 80s, and my memory isn't up to where it was.

I remember using one in Fleet Street in the eighties.

Seems pretty relevant to a social engineering attack to have more correct pieces of info to give to support.

by "what happened here" i mean this specific post. in this specific post, address information was not required.

That's not clear to me.

> He convinced them the domain registered in my name and address really belonged to his club

Convinced how? Often such things are via "knowing things" about the account holder.

the author explicitly said they had domain privacy on. so we know that the caller did not have the address information.

and we can be certain that domain privacy wouldn't have helped in this case (because it didn't).

i have some experience with social engineering attacks (former infosec turned teacher) and it was probably a combination of:

    - caller confidence that they were the club owner/manager (because they were)
    - offering/sending club-specific information that matched information on the site (flyers, pamphlets, etc.)
    - "call the number on the website and i will answer it"
    - an official college website page that had the caller listed as an owner/manager of the club
    - some poor 20-something year old working in a hellish, windowless tier 1 tech support center

It's just traffic based: sales try to get you on a paid plan, or a higher tier. For some accounts they've given ultimatums ("pay for the higher tier by x date or we have to stop providing service"). But I believe those cases were e.g. online casinos doing specific things with the platform (say, evading national blocks on gambling websites) IIRC.

> If you violated the GPL, and your project was taken down, how political is that?

It's political, inherently, but it's not "only" political, or it's not necessarily political on the part of the host. As in, most practical hosts _have_ to obey US IP law. They don't _have_ to ban crypto or LLMs. The former only inconveniences or restricts me insofar as the host is unwilling to go to prison. The latter on their whims or personal views.
