Not really. A lot of other package managers are vulnerable to the same kind of attacks seen on node/npm. It's just that a lot of npm packages can have an excessively long dependency chain which make it harder to audit. And the npm

I remember the fanfare and the enthusiasm when this car was launched. Everyone hailed it as the pinnacle of Indian innovation but no one wanted to buy it lest they be seen as "poor" people.

At this point would even a rebrand matter? Github has such an unspoken strong hold on the developer community that I find it hard to believe that SF will be able to make any dent at all. Github has at least been a respectable stakeholder in

Um, when this whole debacle started, I saw articles which said that Netflix offered to pay for hardware and put more capacity in ISPs datacenters but ISPs refused and instead wanted more money to give access on the last-mile connectivity

ISPs were or are double dipping. They actively started throttling Netflix even when there was no congestion or traffic only so that they could extort money out of Netflix. You could access YouTube, Vimeo or their own video-on-demand without

You are considering only the extremes. There's also a ground between ordinary adversaries and nation-state agencies. Take for example China. There are plenty of rumours about business executives taking throw-away electronics while cros

Really depends on their comfort/paranoia level. If the device is taken out of their sight for more than a few minutes, they'd be highly suspicious. More so if you are crossing borders of countries known to be hostile.

I get that it's trendy to shit on India especially by Indians itself but I absolutely can't wrap my head around your argument. India has its problems but asking a company to do something to remedy the problem a little is too much?

Don't get trapped in the fallacy of what-about-ism. Just because plastic bottles are a nuisance already present everywhere doesn't give other entities a license to produce more trash.

I see two problems with your argument. One - you are giving humans and plastic a lot of benefit of doubt. Time and again, it is demonstrated that human convenience trumps environmental concerns. So governments can have state-of-the-art recy

As I mentioned in another comment, I discovered the counterfeit items very late - way past their purchase date and some of them already consumed. Amazon refused to take responsibility and some items such as cosmetics are not eligible for re

I did not know that they were counterfeit as they arrived. It first came to my notice when using a skincare item. People on the interwebs pointed out about spelling mistakes on the packet which tipped me off. Every item I have listed above

This is exactly what happens. Items from different sellers are mixed together and then randomly dispatched by Amazon under their own name.

You’ve got a valid point. The only thing I cannot give Amazon a benefit of doubt for is when an item is sold under prime shipping but is commingled with the same items from different sellers and making it pure luck whether you receive a gen

You’re not OP but you’ve move the goal posts from security to number of dependencies. I think GP was focusing on how are other package managers different from npm when it comes to security except maybe apt and pacman? And node_modules is no

8 years is quite a bit of time in the technology space. There's no point holding back the rest of the ecosystem if some developers have abandoned their apps.
