News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

because... not many people use Google+?

sorry.

why not add an android-style permission flags on nodeJS?

eg) nodejs profile with:

- exec disabled

- file write access limited to ./tmp, ./docs, ./tests

- file read access limited to ./tmp, ./docs

- network listening: port 1000~11000 allowed

And why not have a 'sesame points' system for dependencies?

eg)

- ownership-change within 3 weeks: -20 points,

- static analysis finds something wrong: -20 points

- badges: 'file-read badge', 'exec-badge', etc.

+1 especially with China backing North Korean regime publicly/privately
China's quite notorious for sending back North Korean defectors (and cooperating with NK spy agencies for this)

this isn't going well...

there's always a limit to "morally right" "education". the other side is using their own 'shady' media channels ('youtube influencers') to advertise their shady product.

how would you counter that?

> Visa introduced changes to charge more for purchasing cryptos with their cards.

well visa recently realized its mistake & rolled back

that's not how "media war" is played... the other side is already spending zillions to sell their ponzi-schemes... by secretly paying influencers
lol you have no idea about most recent ICOs and "ponzi schemes"
> It is absolutely grotesque that public institutions engage in any kind of propaganda

no it's not... then how would you stop malicious foreign/external media influence? let people get scammed?

> "usually, within a democracy, it is illegal for state actors or contractors to engage in propaganda directed at their own citizens."

the real issue with this is "then how should some gov. agency stop malicious external/foreign media influence?"

well that's still an uneven balance between ICO fraudsters spending zillions on "get rich quick" scheme videos...

but why not just put a female-end of lightning port? (not on top but somewhere near middle - I agree with your eraser function)

having a cap to protect its manliness is so... stupid

from my experience, "apple pencil" is a piece of crap (too slippary, too heavy, requires charging thru the ipad's port ...wtf?)

Surface Pro / Galaxy Notebooks(wacom-based) with "a layer of finely textured acrylic glass" will be a much better comparison.

> but it comes at the cost of not being able to flip through documents using finger swipes or taps

so no multi-finger zoom gestures

have to agree on this... exposing local dev env to some outsider requires a lot of trust on some stranger

how about tmux? screen? or do you need more than those?
