They open a page and then leave immediately. What's the best practice to fight it? Time 1-2 s, bounce rate = 100%  I googled several services, for example this one shows this IPs like spam, but they are fighting spam comments, not total IP blocking.
This is a question to experienced people that might help us shed some light on the issue.   We noticed a very strange behavior on our site, in Google Analytics. Some dude from Finland, namely, from Kouvola city is hitting one of our pages - only one page on our site, 'bout a hundred times per day, all with an average bounce rate of 90%+...  This is causing our overall bounce rate to go up by 1 to 3% per day... which is very disturbing.. since we're trying to do our best in order to keep it as low as possible. And obviously having it jumped from ~24% to 27%, just because of that crazy dude is not making us happy at all... We tried implementing a geo-targeted script in order to catch this particular visitor and deliver him a juicy message, and it seemed like it helped in the beginning, it has stopped for a day or two, but now he's back...   The geo-targeted script was also logging all IP addresses for page requests originating from Finland in order to find out more details and (in order to block them on the server level, later).. but thing is, it was all mainly cable or DSL connections with various, but not constantly repeating IPs... we are all wondering what is he up to really ?   I think that this page should be kept updated with ideas on how to combat this and perhaps someone could also shed light on what it might be ? What is the reason for doing this "bounce-rate attack", as I call it?  There was a similar question asked on stackoverflow earlier, with no meaningful answer - here -
Using Sequence to delete a part of an expression I prefer light windows with dark menu bar as in High Sierra. However, it seems I can only choose all-dark or all-light in Mojave now. Are there any way to hybrid or customize it? Objective-C - When to use 'self' Use ALT to move windows in Windows like in Linux In most Linux window managers, one can use the Alt key while clicking and dragging to rearrange windows. This is one of my favorite features of Linux window managers.  Is there a way to do this in Windows 7? How can I always run the command prompt as administrator? How can I put a bit mask on /dev/zero so that I can get bytes other than zero? How can I put a bit mask on /dev/zero so that I can have a source not only for 0x00 but also for any byte between 0x01 and 0xFF? Why does demand for stock rise when a company appears to have high future value? So a company decides to raise money by selling shares of its stock. The stock is offered at an initial price of their determination. The stock is then traded in a market where forces of supply and demand, as well as speculation, affect its price.  When a company performs well (or makes decisions that will likely increase the company's earnings in the future), more people want to buy that stock than do people wanting to sell it. This creates demand for that stock which causes its sell/bid prices rise. When a company performs poorly, the opposite occurs; more people want to sell the stock than want to buy. This creates a surplus that causes sell/bid prices to fall.  Understanding this, people speculate over company performance to determine the future behavior of a stock, and attempt to "buy low, sell high" or "borrow high, return low" in order to make a profit.  But my question is regarding the first part of that process. What is it about company performance that causes the perceived value of its stock to rise? This is especially perplexing since I would guess that most people don't exercise their voting rights, and many stocks don't pay dividends.  It's not like a shareholder has any direct financial gains from increased company earnings (speculative stock pricing notwithstanding).  What is the intrinsic value of the stock?  It seems to me that all participants in a stock market tacitly agree that stock price will have a direct correlation with company performance. So another way of asking the question is, would an opposite agreement hold? What financially (this isn't a question about logistics, communication, or feasibility) stops all participants in a market from agreeing to value a particular company's stock inversely with respect to the company's performance?  Since I feel like I can't quite nail down my question, another form of it would be, why is stock market behavior driven by company performance? Less than or equal sign If I know for two numbers a and b that    $${a &lt; b }$$  Then is it correct to say that    $$ a \leq b $$  I know that the second statement is true as long as the first one is. It seems OK as it is true but from the other side it seems kinda weird (to me), to say that, if you know, that a is strictly less that b.It's like you lose some extra information. Error notification on plone 4 What does (obj.length === +obj.length) compare? Supremum and infimum of sets I've recently started to study supremum and infimum, and I'm having trouble determining the supremum and infimum of the following sets:  $ A = \left\{ {mn\over 1+ m+n} \mid m, n \in \mathbb N \right\} $ $ B = \left\{ {mn\over 4m^2+m+n^2} \mid m, n \in \mathbb N \right\} $ $ C = \left\{ {m\over \vert m\vert +n} \mid m \in \mathbb Z, n \in \mathbb N \right\} $ $ D = \left\{ {n\over 3} - \left[{n\over 3}\right] \mid m, n \in \mathbb N \right\} $   In $D$, the $[\; ]$ denotes the integral part of ${n\over 3}$.   $E = \{x \mid x \text{ is decimal fraction between } 0 \text{ and } 1 \text{ that has the digits } 0 \text{ and } 1\}$.  In my progress so far I was able to verify that sup $\{x \in A\} = +∞$  Setting $m = (n-1)$ to get  $$ \frac{mn}{1+m+n}= \frac{n(n-1)}{1 + n + n-1} = \frac{n(n-1)}{2n} = \frac{n-1}{2} $$  That way $\frac{n-1}{2}\in A$ for every $n\geq 2$. Thus, the supremum of $A$ is bigger than $\frac{n-1}{2}$ for every integer $n$.  I don't know how to go past this. x_x  Any help would be greatly appreciated! How to use the parskip package? (space in between paragraphs) We all know you can't do the following because of ConcurrentModificationException:  for (Object i : l) {     if (condition(i)) {         l.remove(i);     } }   But this apparently works sometimes, but not always. Here's some specific code:  public static void main(String[] args) {     Collection&lt;Integer&gt; l = new ArrayList&lt;&gt;();      for (int i = 0; i &lt; 10; ++i) {         l.add(4);         l.add(5);         l.add(6);     }      for (int i : l) {         if (i == 5) {             l.remove(i);         }     }      System.out.println(l); }   This, of course, results in:  Exception in thread "main" java.util.ConcurrentModificationException   Even though multiple threads aren't doing it. Anyway.  What's the best solution to this problem? How can I remove an item from the collection in a loop without throwing this exception?  I'm also using an arbitrary Collection here, not necessarily an ArrayList, so you can't rely on get. What does "mostly" modify? "My friends are mostly non-smokers."  Is "mostly" a focusing adverb that modifies "non-smokers"? How do I invoke a Java method when given the method name as a string? Does every set have a group structure? I know that there is no vector space having precisely $6$ elements. Does every set have a group structure? SSH and home directory permissions It took me hours to solve this SSH problem with one of my class accounts on my school's servers.    I couldn't ssh into one particular class account without entering my password, while passwordless authentication worked with my other class accounts. The .ssh/ directory and all of its contents had the same, correct permissions as the other class accounts.   Turns out the problem was the permissions set on my own home directory. Passwordless authentication did not work when the permissions on my HOME directory were set to 770 (regardless of the permissions set for .ssh/), but it worked with permissions set to 755 or 700.   Anyone know why SSH does this? Is it because the home directory permissions are too permissive? Why does SSH refuse to authenticate with the public/private keys when the home directory is set more permissive than 700? FaceTime not working on iPhone 6 Plus purchased from Dubai I bought my iPhone 6 Plus in Dubai. I am using the phone in Sri Lanka and I cannot use the FaceTime. How can I use FaceTime while in Sri Lanka? I have a 64-bit (amd64 a.k.a. x86_64) Debian or Ubuntu installation. I need to run 32-bit (i386/i686) programs occasionally, or to compile programs for a 32-bit system. How can I do this with a minimum of fuss?  Bonus: what if I want to run or test with an older or newer release of the distribution? Upgrade Debian Jessie (8) to Buster (10) possible or need to go sequential in versions upgrades? Just started working with a Debian Jessie (8) in a production environnent. While presently deployed it is not seeing any heavy use yet. I was looking at the OS , and I was thinking about how convenient it would be to just upgrade it before is start seeing some more steady use in our environment and possibly making things more complicated with a later upgrade.  I was looking for a procedure to upgrade from Debian v.8 to v.10 but most documented  are sequential in order (e.g. 8 -> 9, or 9 -> 10).  My question: should I upgrade sequentially, or there is some proper documented way to skip a main version while upgrading?
