Does the NSO find these zero days themselves or do they buy them from the black market?

If more money is thrown at the people finding the vulnerabilities so they responsively disclose would it make NSO’s business model unprofitable?

Sounds to me like the best approach to shutdown the NSO group is to make the economics not work out.

Why have the money taken out of my bank account for a purchase made today when I can pay it without penalty 60 days later and let the money grow in my brokerage account.

Along with the usual answers like cash bank/points/consumer protection, it also decouples spending from "pay day".

Is Samsung considered a reliable brand in other parts of the world?

My Samsung TV, electric range, and fridge have all been repaired or replaced under warranty several times.

Currently my electric range is out of warranty and one of the burners has broken yet again.

Many jr devs cite this model to me. Every new hire after on boarding looking to make an impact cites this. And I’m getting tired of explaining why this model is not always a good idea.

And we’re building apps that have multiple versions in the wild.

So how are you embedding websites without an iframe? I'm guessing your acting as a proxy? How do you know not to proxy say amazon.com? whitelist? I see on some sites are screenshots.

logN_2 | 2 years ago | on: Remove TypeScript

The key thing from David's blog post:

> things that are hard become `any`.

It's a hard problem to solve.

TypeScript excels at informing IDE's and developers. Typing improves my ability to understand APIs both as a library user and contributor. So I see the benefit exceeds the issues of TypeScript.

A better approach would be a more gradual. Perhaps keep the .ts files (or at least develop .d.ts files) for the public API and main components.
