  • This is a fantastic write up of the problems we are facing in the US automotive market. Broken regulations incentivize large trucks/SUV's, including for electric vehicles.

    Smaller vehicles use less energy. Smaller vehicles cause less road wear. Smaller vehicles are fine for most use cases - but I recognize not all use cases. Smaller vehicles cause less damage in collusions to other cars and pedestrians.

    I'm not saying to take away any options... But let's stop incentivizing the wasteful and start incentivizing the efficient. I as a consumer would love to see more small car options for selfish reasons. They handle better and are more fun to drive.

  • If I had to guess after managing enterprise WAF across hundreds of domains...

    It's either a crowler or vulnerability scanner, and may be scanning by IP address. I don't think you configured anything wrong.

    You may want to add some form of captcha or user agent based filter to get rid of it. Good news is that it's not necessarily something to worry about.

    I'd avoid IP based blocking. It's only temporarily effective.

  • It's not blocked at layer 4 or anything. The website simply geolocates you and denies application access for users geolocated to NC. VPN gets around it fine.

    The bigger issue is that plenty of other sites still allow access... So it's effectively punishing the rule followers.

  • The Mozilla Foundation does such important work to ensure standards across the Internet, and keeping the monopolies on their toes. This is another shining example of just that.

    Quantifying monopolistic behavior from major tech companies is important. This needs to be documented before changes can happen.
