What does Binance routinely lie about?

You can almost certainly get anyone put on this list by simply creating an email account like firstname.lastname@protonmail.com and sending out a few threatening emails to the right places.

The way people end up on this list is super opaque, but it's certainly not used to catch wanted criminals.

In fact, the US doesn't have super reliable systems to stop fugitives at airports except on entry.

It's very well documented, no point in speculating.

> and will, one day, kill someone

Statistically this is not true.

And for what it's worth, there's a huge difference between driving fast while consistently hugging the left lane, and weaving through traffic. In doing the first, I'm not causing nearly as significant risk as you suggest.

Driving fast will not cause my car to suddenly spin out of control, the only way I'll end up hitting someone is if they decide to suddenly veer onto my lane without signaling.

And at many points in that process the company which received the fine could've replied with "It's not our problem to help foreign law enforcement figure out who was driving"

Dutch LE doesn't have any tools to compel entities outside of their jurisdiction to provide such data.

> I'm not sure the number changes when you renew it.

Of course it does. Numbers used to identify people generally don't. Passport number identifies the individual document, mostly so it can be checked against INTERPOL's SLTD database.

> I don't know if you are joking or I need to break it to you that in most cases passports are the de facto identification for foreigners

As a perpetual foreigner I've never had to use my passport number for identification.

>passport S/Ns are being used as part of identification procedures.

Where?

UK doesn't even send driver identification letters to keepers of foreign registered vehicles due to jurisdictional issues. They just sell the data to a private company that sends intimidating TV licensing-esque letters (but not actual invoices!) in the hopes of getting paid.

>If they refuse to identify the driver then they get a separate punishment which is about the same as the speeding ticket.

This doesn't work unless the keeper is UK based.

>Don't all sorts of person-related details come in handy to stage a social engineering hack?

Maybe? But also maybe not really?

Passport numbers change very frequently, nobody uses them to identify people.

The big thing here is that the driver was identified, you got his details.

Same thing does not really happen with camera-issued fines, even if technically feasible given a good quality picture of the drivers face.

>Sure, do that. The cops won't chase you, they'll just be waiting for you at the toll booth. I'm sure Waze will get you out of it.

Never once happened to me having driven hundreds of thousands of kilometers through these countries, but YMMV.

We usually wear matching hoodies on any longer trips to combat driver identification anyway. If the cops actually make an effort, you just perform some acrobatics inside the car so they won't be able to tell which of the passengers was driving.

> know that getting caught once is a 1500€ fine and your car seized

Can't seize a car the driver doesn't own. Unless you mean impounding it and requiring you to pay some small release fee?

>Needless to say, we don't need drivers like you on our roads, and I dearly hope you do crash at that speed and permanently rid us of you.

Unnecessarily harsh. I reckon it'd be better for everybody if I didn't crash at that speed.

The magic solution to this is to have the car owned by some legal entity which is not the driver. Fines might arrive, but you can wipe your ass with them.

There might be fines associated with the plates, but fines are the responsibility of the driver and not the owner. Even if the cops were able to ID as you the driver in those previous incidents, they would not be able to seize the car (not that this would generally be possible without an extensive legal process anyway).

And FWIW in the case of Norway, you will never get stopped for having unpaid fines.

>Are you trolling?

No?

> Where in France are you allowed to go 250km/h?

Nowhere, but like most EU countries there is nothing stopping you from going 250km/h. It's extremely unlikely that you'll encounter cops who'd bother to chase you, especially while using Waze and the likes.

Besides, how often do you see German registered cars driving the speed limit in France? Foreign registered cars are pretty much always speeding.

>Left: people who disregard the physics of air resistance and blast without limits

Left: some guy in a X5 driving steady 150km/h, not reacting to getting flashed and immediately accelerating if you try to pass on the right.

Somehow, as soon as you get out of Germany this stops happening. In France and Benelux you get to comfortably cruise at 250km/h and everyone just moves out of the way.

German autobahns are not exhausting because of the lack of speed limits, they're exhausting because of the Germans.

If you're going to go through that kind of trouble, you might as well just register your car in a different country and ignore the cameras.

Since when are passport numbers supposed to be sensitive information? This isn't something you could use for identity fraud in any normal circumstances.

It's one thing if your server is on fire because of a bot crawling your websites at 1000rps, another if it's on fire because of a bot crawling it at less than 10rps.

The request rates being discussed here are nothing like a DDoS.

>https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/founder-and-majority-owner-cr...

Bitzlato, a no-KYC exchange that has never been mentioned on HN before this DoJ announcement. Bitzlato has also essentially never been discussed on reddit, only included in some lists of no-KYC exchanges.

Big whoop.

DDoS attack reflected in a monthly Cloudflare email report?

Wouldn't it be easier to fix whatever issue is causing your server to be on fire than spending non-trivial amounts of time poring over logs?

I don't think it's meaningful to even speak of interdiction, Russia is as likely to successfully access ammunition depots in Transnistria as they're in Lviv.

Ukraine on the other hand could crush resistance in Transnistria within a day or two, there's simply nowhere to hide from artillery fire on that narrow stretch of land.

Of course, there's no point in doing that. There's nothing worth capturing in Transnistria, a power plant and a bunch of poorly stored ammunition that's not going to be in usable condition.

Russia could not possibly "go after" this depot. It's simply an impossible task.

There are no airports in Transnistria, and even if there were, it would be impossible to land there. Even ignoring UA and RO air defences, all of Transnistria is within UA artillery range.

Road transport is obviously impossible without Russia first capturing Odessa, which is clearly not going to happen.

Sea? Any watercraft would be destroyed by anti-ship missiles before getting anywhere close, or get shredded by UA artillery while going up the Dnister.

>US government built it, a US company runs it, and US law applies to it.

All also true of .ie and .fr and .eu and whatever other TLDs you might want to choose.

>It’s silly to complain that US companies and US-focused sites shouldn’t use it.

Nobody complained about that.

That hardly seems relevant? Literally all TLDs are ultimately under US jurisdiction, given that the ICANN is under US jurisdiction.

>it would have a pretty negative impact on me if my neighbor decided they wanted to leave their dead relatives in the open on a corner of the property abutting mine.

More or less negative than it would be if your neighbour was leaving animal remains instead of dead relatives?

Sure, I can't imagine it being too difficult to compromise the keys for some first world country.

But there's no need to bother, you won't get busted at an airport because the chip of your passport failed. If they were suspicious, they'd just go through a document verification checklist and see if your passport has the correct physical features. Check out the PRADO glossary for example https://www.consilium.europa.eu/prado/en/prado-glossary/prad...

A bunch of EU countries still issue non-biometric passports, even if with limited validity periods.

Basically any foreign intelligence agency can produce perfect fake passports (except for the chip, but you don't need a functional chip).

Even regular criminals manage to produce good enough documents to travel with, and those guys don't have access to Heidelberg printing presses.

Do you imagine that there is a meaningful increase in desirable tourism to be derived from granting Nepalese visa-free entry?
