You started and perpetuated a flamewar in this thread. Those are extremely lame discussions that we try to avoid here. Would you please stop and not do it again on Hacker News?

You also broke the site guidelines in other ways. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd be grateful.
This is normal.

The only people who are experts in a particular industry are the people running the businesses that make up that industry. So the government, in order to try to make rules that don't suck, depend on their input when drafting the rules.

This, and in combination with significant lobbying, means that given enough time the industry being regulated gets to have significant amount of control over the rules being created.

Oil, airflight, cars, steel production, cable television industry, etc etc. Everything that the government tries regulate suffers the same fate to differing degrees.

And when it comes to certain industries, like banking or medical industry, and handful of executives of top corporations end up rotating in and out of government. Being a VP one year, a lobbyist for a couple years, and then end up as a higher level bureaucrat on some cabinet or board somewhere.

They have a phrase for it:

This is a solved problem, really, some banks are less keen on implementing it: generate single use / single purpose credit card numbers in your ebank / mobile app. Leaks are total useless. Also, more than a decade ago already many European banks were sending a text SMS above a treshold and only approved on a positive reply. Today you'd likely offer sending a push notification.

You have 16 digits on a Visa/MasterCard, the first six is the bank identifier and the last is a checksum digit thus you have 9 digits to "waste" -- and you can recycle them.

Looking at this, it seems like in Elizabethan times, a penny was more or less equivalent to a dollar or pound today, if you look at the price of bread, beef, and wine.

...however, if you use bread and beef and wine as the standard, then chickens and beer were extremely cheap. But sugar was extremely expensive.

As usual I didn't buy the book, but previewing it on Amazon it seems long on pontificating and short on references. There are a few numbers but the analysis goes like "Look at these numbers. Something is terribly wrong. It must be market failure!".

I subscribe more to the failed government theory, there is just nobody in any of these fields who cares about economic efficiency as they are too busy fighting to get campaign funding.
I have a bot that scrapes the local Building Consents website for my home building project and emails me if the local council has completed an inspection because my builder can't communicate for shit. I have a bot that polls the Google Health API and syncs my current weight (which comes from an electronic scale) to a spreadsheet where some friends are doing a weight loss challenge. I have a bot which scans my Downloads directory and semi-intelligently identifies movies and TV shows and moves them to the appropriate directory.

The Health API and Consents bot are .NET Core running on a Raspberry Pi. The Download bot is on my main Windows machine, written in Python.

Other bots have come and gone, of course.

I made a complaint to the FCC about this when they started to do this to me. A month later I got a cookie-cutter response from Comcast, but it felt good to at least cost them some tiny amount of time to need to respond. I ended up moving house to get away.

ISP options are now my #1 factor in deciding where to live, and if Comcast is the only viable option then I'm happy to tell apartment managers I'll look elsewhere.

Actually, you may not prefer the generalized interface once you see it, as summarized by the immortal Joel Spolsky:

> When great thinkers think about problems, they start to see patterns. They look at the problem of people sending each other word-processor files, and then they look at the problem of people sending each other spreadsheets, and they realize that there’s a general pattern: sending files. That’s one level of abstraction already. Then they go up one more level: people send files, but web browsers also “send” requests for web pages. And when you think about it, calling a method on an object is like sending a message to an object! It’s the same thing again! Those are all sending operations, so our clever thinker invents a new, higher, broader abstraction called messaging, but now it’s getting really vague and nobody really knows what they’re talking about any more. Blah.
They're affected by floods.
It's not just case insensitive, it's underscore insensitive.

So MyNimName, mynimname, MY_NIM_NAME, My_Nim_Name, __MYNIM___name_, and any other variation you can think of are all the same name!

Most search tools have the option of case sensitive or insensitive search, but a search that does that and ignores underscores? Not too many of those outside the Nim world.

An interesting contrast is Nim's policy on tabs and spaces for indentation.

Spaces are fine. You can use as many as you want. Two, four, three, whatever. Nim doesn't care.

But Tabs? They are forbidden!

Unless you use this magic line at the top of each source file:

#? replace(sub = "\t", by = " ")

Now you get to use tabs!
Thanks for the link. One statement from the paper: "this analysis assumes a static coastal topography".

This seems like a significant limitation, especially when a lot of the affected area consists of river deltas (eg, most of Bangladesh, the Mekong delta in Vietnam). One would expect that a rise in sea level in a delta would lead to increased silt deposition on the newly-submerged parts of the delta, reducing the impact compared to a naive calculation, perhaps quite significantly.

It kind of depends on your definition of freedom. I'd say freedom of speech is stronger in the US than most of Europe. Europe has a lot of hate speech laws that limit freedom of speech more than in the US. Whether that's good or bad is subjective.

Freedom to own guns without many restrictions or permits is probably unique to the US.

Freedom to not have health insurance (mind you I prefer not having to worry about crushing medical debt in Germany, but it is a kind of freedom).

There's probably more than these 3,but for certain definitions of freedom the US is quite high.

You could say that Germany for example has a very different view of freedom. The government mandates that you get at least 4 weeks vacation, that you are insured at least half way properly, that you pay a lot more taxes for public goods (trains, roads, television, food subsidies, ...). This restricts the freedom of employers, your freedom to do with your money what you want, etc. but in return you have more freedom from debt traps, you have free time to go on vacation, you can get around the country without a car, etc.

So by limiting certain individual freedoms you can gain a different definition of freedom.
2 sides of the same coin. You'll work through headhunters, or you won't. Whether they contact you, or you contact them, changes very little. Just make sure you're choosing headhunters that actually serve the level you need. The vast majority probably aren't. The ones that are, are known well enough that you won't mistake them for another.
I'm using Nim in production (combined with NodeJS) and I really like it. Cross-compiling is so easy. Testing is easy. Syntax is easy to read. I like it.

Edit: Email me if you'd like more info.
Re: speed, I'm seeing the Rust ecosystem get better and better; I'm also learning the language on the weekends with small projects.

But also: many many moons ago I had Matlab code that was really slow (and I wanted to run 10^LARGENUM simulations for Monte Carlo purposes) and decided to learn Fortran. It was surprisingly easy to learn, and it did cut my running time from afternoons to minutes. But in the process I found out that my Matlab performance problems were mostly due to arrays being dynamically resized all the time -- while static memory preallocation could be hacked easily in straight Matlab.

As for Python, numpy is a fast embedded minilanguage written in C; the difference between "pythonic" and "numpythonic" is not emphasized enough in bootcamps, I think.

Yes but at times you can actually receive data normally it just that sending it will be blocked. So download bandwidth is MB/S and upload is relly slow. Some times port 53 to anywhere is available so you don't evwn need to tunnel over dns.
I respectfully disagree. A three letter acronym implies shared understanding. NSA, CIA, GHQ, MI6, KGB, IBM, AMZ, USA, etc, are globally recongized. NSO is ambiguous and confusing in a headline and demands explanation.

Google tells me that "NSO" is "Nurse Malpractice" for the entire first page fold. I assume it's similarly unhelpful in other regions for other people. 'Cmon, it's not a big, recognized, entity. Wait a year and the problem will be even more apperent.
An agreement is invalid if it is unlawful. Think of it this way, a packet in transit belongs both to the sender and receiver but never to the intetmediary. Even if a comcast customer agreed to a ToS stating all their traffic solely belongs to Comcast, the servers sending the traffic to the Comcast customer never gave that permission,they never allowed comcast to present altered content to their customer. The only way that reasoning holds up is if comcast and comcast's customers are one legal entity(you're essentially their subject much like an employee but even then employees are distinct)

Have you used both? This is a comment I usually see from people who have used only one, but not the other.

Let me give you some background about myself - I'm a full time consultant, I write both frontend and backend code for a living. I have worked for almost 27 companies in the last 2 years as a consultant. I have used both.

Vue may copy react, but their implementation and opinionated code structure (Eg. Single file components, Vue-Router, Vuex, etc.) is so much better than the complete freedom that React gives you. Almost all of them who used React had terrible code quality and really bad code organization. In contrast, the Vue code base I've worked with all had some level of uniformity enough for an external consultant to come in and understand what was going in. The worst code I've ever seen till date was on React from an analytics firm. I lasted 15 seconds after which I closed the tab and re-negotiated the contract to do only backend for that firm.

I'm not saying React is bad, end of the day, they're all just tools, but a vanilla TODO Vue application with its syntax is much much better to work with a vanilla TODO react app. Especially for large codebases, this is so true when you work with stuff to manage state like Flux/Vuex.

I also observed that companies using React usually also tend to do more re-writes of their codebases as it becomes unmaintainable over time without an opinionated way to do things like with Vue. Companies with Vue also seem to be more profitable and less reliant on VC money. You can feel free to verify these stats by heading over to LinkedIn/Angel.co and checkout the companies who hire for Vue/React.

So, to answer your question - Does Vue truly offer anything over React that's not in the realm of preferred syntax?

Definitely (as I explained above). I personally would never touch React for a prototype or a project that needs to go to market with less bugs.
Yes! I use Nim on macOS to build a Windows exe for bootstrapping a Windows VM. A year ago, you had to dig a little to figure out the right command line incantation, but maybe it's better now.
It seems like "one sentence or less" is an unreasonable demand in this case. But, if you're up for it, can you describe for an SVNer what the benefit of hg over svn is, you know, in one sentence or less? :-)
Your link is to a vietnamese site about dogs. I don’t get it...
On the other hand, what if it's a code UI limitation? Suppose the UI for writing Nim had support for linking, editing, viewing all such alternately spelled but equivalent symbols?
Nothing unusual in doing e.g. `array = Array()` (although you should probably give your variables better names than that), which would break in Nim.
The general consensus seems to be that git is an excellent semantic model wrapped in a ... mostly acceptable command-line UI. Even most big git fans aren't going to deny that the UI has some big warts (I'm a fan of git myself, there's _definitely_ things I'd change in a perfect world).
> Note: this is most likely illegal .. in every jurisdiction. So .. don't actually do this.

Sad if true. If a service is providing public DNS access without any service agreement, I don't see how making DNS queries with it could be illegal, especially on a public radio channel.

You might be right, but how?

It's certainly within their right to ban you by filtering out certain queries though.
I used this the other day - works very well.
Yes. Wonderful. More like this!
Let's for a moment assume that the government sector is incompetent and couldn't build a workable software solution.

There's no reason they couldn't contract a private company to build the system, perhaps with a hand-over plan at the end of it with advice on how to build and manage a development team to maintain it in-house.

There are plenty of dev companies capable of doing this and doing it well. Put it up for tender.
Selection bias is also apparent in ranking sites for shows where seasons/sequels are ranked individually.

For example in anime, Gintama appears 8 times within the top 50: https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php

It's not because it's a popular show. It's just that people who didn't like the first few episodes have already stopped watching! And it's polarizing enough that the only people who stick around for so many seasons are the ones really love it. So it will get rated a 10 even for mediocre content.
Anyone know how insurance companies are reacting? That'd be interesting to watch, since they're all about risk management and have a lot of skin in the game.
If your firewall doesn't let SSH go through, step1) different port like 81, step2) udp tunnel like openvpn (pick your port, SIP sometimes work), step3) tcp inside ssl tunnel on port 443, step4) http tunnel on port 80, step5) dns on port 53

Don't go to step5 if anything else work because yes, it's slow.

I don't use ICMP but some people do.
> Their CFAA claim can only cover unauthorized access to WhatsApp’s servers – but NSO didn’t hack those servers; the servers just fulfilled their normal job of acting as a relay for WhatsApp messages,

By that logic a website provider wouldn't have standing if they suffered an XSS attack (though any affected users would), which is interesting.

IANAL, but it looks like the CFAA defines offenses in terms of the "protected computer" that was accessed - for instance, unauthorized access to that computer, or stealing information from that computer, or damages that computer.

That seems weird, but the alternative would be weirder: if every computer in the chain were a violation, the ISP for each hop of the network connection would have standing together. It's hard to make a case that WhatsApp is different from a regular router which might also pass malicious messages.

Thank you for the response and best of lucj. Regarding the UI I like it and all but it simply isn't something I can present to others who are not as technophile as we are. Perhaps making it a CSS theme is better? And yes,I didn't mean the malware analysis part,I meant similar to urlscan.io -- not for analysis but to visit possibly harmful sites safely as with a normal browser.

Also, proofpoint isolation is another competition in this are but for their own customers.
Always great to have more tools that can do this sort of thing. I used to use desproxy for this almost 20 years ago back in my windows days:

http://desproxy.sourceforge.net/
Maybe! Look at how long NSO has been around before this suit.
I really hope they lose. If they win, WhatsApp (and by precedent, everyone else) is less incentivized to invest in technical solutions, and exploits will still be bought and sold among even shadier players.

Take the Saudis for example. They have a desire to hack phones, an unlimited budget for hacking tools, and no ethics. The market will create other players to capture the millions of dollars they have on the table, and they’ll do it out of reach of the courts.

WhatsApp is facing brand damage because people are hearing that they can get hacked (and in some cases, possibly die) if they use their software. Their two options are to either invest in better security, or use the legal system. I think it’s better for everyone if the only option is for companies to actually fix their software.

If WhatsApp paid whatever NSO does to acquire bugs, nobody would sell to NSO.

This is the same reason that Apple recently increased their bounty. Nobody was giving bugs to Apple because the grey market paid more.
It seems that short-term rentals came from long-term leases, right? In that sense, housing supply is still constant while demand has increased.
