  • They sell something like 5% publicly, and 30 or 40 %, I don’t remember, is for select people. They want to reward people that were loyal. This is corruption.

    Add to that the various changes around the regulation. You don’t need 20% public offerings anymore to land in the top100, and they don’t have to wait three months anymore, just three weeks to land in the top100. That means various ETFs and other stocks will have to automatically buy in. And with that, indirectly boosting value. Like retirement plans suddenly having to buy in to this overvalued money steal.

    Pure corruption.




  • They rent IPs, they can look like residential IPs.

    I don’t know how these IP services work, but blocking them seems like blocking AWS - suddenly you didn’t just block telegram but various websites and services don’t work anymore.

    /edit: the article goes into this and also blocking

    Enter residential proxies, where anyone with a credit card can get all of their scraping requests “laundered” through a network of millions of IP addresses. The wikis get hit sometimes by scraper runs that cycle through a million IPs a day, and they >look like< they’re coming from legit places: mostly residential ISPs (Comcast, AT&T, Charter, etc) where the customer probably doesn’t even know their IP is being used as an exit node for a residential proxy.

    There are companies out there selling realtime databases of residential proxy IPs, although it’s not clear to me how actionable that is when most residential proxies are also used by real people at the same time.











  • What is NetHack?

    NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of computer systems, with a variety of graphical and text interfaces all using the same game engine. Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight - in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly. Each game presents a different landscape - the random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by the player in one of a number of characters: you can pick your race, your role, and your gender.
