lol what? Literally like all of human development is because somebody didn't want to sit around and wait for the government to solve their problems. This is such a crazy sentiment. It's literally the silly conservative talking point that liberals want the government to solve their problems.
I'm indifferent to that. You shit on very competent engineers, thousands of whom are trying to do the right thing. You're trying to score cheap points by insulting people with a no nuance view. There's nothing worse than mediocre sysadmin's pontificating about security.
Just remember this conversation whenever whatever you're responsible for gets popped.
Sorry, you're pushing your slapdash opinion everywhere in here and you're wrong. You have what seems like a basic and small understanding of real security programs.
>> Any system which touches sensitive data is subject to security review.
This is such a meaningless statement. Facebook has one of the best AppSec programs in the world. They regularly face attacks from nation states. You absolutely could not handle the threat model that Facebook deals with.
With thousands of engineers, hundreds of acquisitions, and data at a scale you cannot even fathom, mistakes happen.
>> Right; it requires investment into process, requirements, testing, and oversight
Again, this is nonsense. Facebook has a more mature program than you do, full stop.
>> it requires a company wide, top down mentality that your customer's privacy and protection is more important than your margins.
You are mixing things up.
>> If you can't (won't) dedicate the resources required to ensure your customers data is protected then you have no business operating at such a scale.
They have a larger security program than you. Alex Stamos is more capable than whomever you work for.
The burger has many more layers. It's significantly more complex. As someone who spent some time working in Germany, my coworkers were obsessed with hamburgers. And mayo on everything.
No it's not. The problem is you're grossly misinformed about languages in general (a more suitable language? wtf?). There's nothing wrong with NPM and distributing packages used by the majority of the ecosystem. And for all of NPM's problems, it works literally better than every other garbage package manager. But I suspect your criticism is more because you read some comments about NPM, not that you know what you're talking about.
Ohhh, so close. Scooters are not "discarded matter", nor is it "rubbish". You really should look up the definitions of words before you use them. You should also read up on descriptive grammar. It's pretty obvious that Bird scooters don't meet those definitions as commonly used. So not only do you not understand the literal definitions, you also seemingly lack social awareness on how people communicate.
Here's a tip: When you have to try and quote literal definitions to make a point, and then get it wrong, you're over simplifying and being dumb. Nuance isn't a vice. Embrace understanding on multiple levels. See the differences and let your mind explore them.
The parent obviously didn't mean that ALL TIMES UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES DO YOU GET PERFECT SUPPORT. It's simply a data point in the overall calculus. Support vs internal maintainability vs cost vs ability to find supporting talent vs license provisions vs IP concerns vs regulatory requirements vs a million other reasons.
You'll find thousands of articles about it. You won't find a single case.
