   We ported our Console off Silverlight to HTML and use SVG to render a workflow designer which dynamically overlays HTML overlays for most editing. Our experience with SVG has been fantastic and we've found it very performant even on la

   Even if they wanted to open source or just share the source, there could be some real effort involved in reviewing the code to ensure that nothing sensitive will be exposed. Re the other comment about owning copyright on everything (eg. Due

   TrueCaller has been great for me and I believe services like this could kill telemarketing overnight. I haven't given them access to my contacts yet though so I end up looking up numbers in the app. Loathe to give this information to y

   Here's a quick overview of South African exchange control [1]. Another example is withholding tax which a number of African countries legislate. These are blockers because they create friction for small business that wants to expand in

   I think archaic forex regulations are more of a blocker than free travel but what I meant is It can't be hard to agree to let diplomats travel easily. The impact is almost immaterial.

   I really don't understand how this even gets upvoted on HN. It's barely worthy of mention in conventional news and I live in South Africa so if anyone should find it relevant I should!

    I'd really like to hear from a domain expert whether tor or something like it could a) drastically mitigate the impact of this type of surveillance and b) how likely it is that it (tor) could become mainstream (sort of like WhatsApp ma

    The point is that normally having your mac address is a unique way to identify you. Unless I've misunderstood you, you seem to be saying that because it's possible to spoof your mac you shouldn't worry about it being collecte

    Agreed. You don't realize how invasive radio and TV advertising is until you don't have it.

    We built a workflow design ui with svg under react and for the most part it is an absolute pleasure. Also pretty neat that you can treat the svg as an image/thumbnail. If you need the svg to be interactive, overlaying html works well t

    And by 'clear', I mean add a textbox, set its value to an explanatory message '{app} cleared the clipboard because it contained your password' and then execCommand on it.

    by danjc 10y ago

    That's an interesting idea actually. My first response was that you can't freely interact with the clipboard but you can set it provided you do it in response to a js event so in theory that is possible. The only problem is that y

    Isn't it ironic that for a language that has new frameworks popping up all the time, the guts of it evolve so slowly? I primarily work in js and c# so I can't speak for other languages but async/await in c# is incredibly usef

    So they've paid out $300k in two years? That sounds appallingly low and surely unappealing for anyone bug hunting professionally.

    The content might be dynamic not static. For example, an SO clone might allow users to type a comment including code in mark down and then need to preview it.

    Could some ad partners be holding out because http is getting them lower CPC for their customers or am I misunderstanding something?

    Totally agree with this, I've come up against this problem in the past week. I've found that I get the same list of results regardless of how I phrase a search term involving two JS frameworks. It's like it only matches those

    For some reason this reminds me of the Eternity II puzzle[1]. The creator of the puzzle had mathematicians confirm how difficult it would be to solve due to the number of permutations and yet a vast number of people bought it thinking they
