According to the image on Google maps it was taken by Maxar. Maxar appears to have a few satellites, looks like 5 in geostationary orbit (~35,700km), 3 at about 400km and 1 at about 500km.

These are in no way secret, I have no idea how people are okay with this. You can easily social engineer so many critical services if you know somebody's SSN.

I'm curious how was this published October 26, 2021? (Currently Oct 15)

Which sucks because I can get a 3G module for my iot projects for 5$ and I think 4G modules start at 50$?

Are we just at the mercy of 4G now for services that need large coverage but low throughput? I know 5G technically has a spec for IOT type stuff but I haven't seen anything about it, and I haven't seen modules for it.

I'll add that rolling your own means you're the only one exiting that IP address, so if your threat model involves websites profiling you and/or alternative accounts that won't help.

I'd recommend just using the browser to make an alt.

I suspect fraudster's are able to wait out this period without detection so they can cash out. If this is the case, then even time locking smart contracts won't help, as the fraudsters just wait out the time period. At that point Stripe would have even less recourse to recover money, as retroactive transfers are not possible at that point.

I could see services such as their debit card offering being abusable too.

They also likely have to worry about things such as predatory recurring payments as those will result in chargebacks which could ultimately fall on Stripe to foot.

There's also the subreddit and a discord channel with a very active community of palm developers/collectors

If you're on a VPN with a fresh ASN and IP range you won't have any issues (until people start using it for other reasons).

If you wanted to "fix it" the dirty method, there's extensions for chrome/firefox/etc that will automatically submit your captcha to a captcha solving service and it costs some tiny amount.

tldr; Mischievous basically has to go through VPNs, and they rotate through IPs getting them flagged. You can join the dark side with a captcha solving service and extension, and there's some "solutions" like privacy pass you can try.

Some research - paramedics are likely covered under HIPAA (if they work for a healthcare entity that provides ambulance services), I don't believe police or the fire department would be covered.
