I don't find his arguments very persuasive.
With regard to NPM, there is the option of installing a package using the -g or global option. This installs the package globally so it is available to other applications.
And why repeat code just because it is POC code? Surely you can remove duplication whilst the code is POC?
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

In an advisory sent to enterprises across the US, the Department of Homeland Security’s US-CERT group is warning that security products which perform HTTPS interception might weaken a company's overall security. Apparently they're not clear on what the S stands for in HTTPS

My company just started using ZScaler (one of these HTTPS intercept services). Hopefully, this will make some impact on our security team.
Story time: I live very close to the office (almost walking distance). I've never worked from home all the time while employed by this company (outside of one-off need-to-be-home-for-delivery type stuff). The day after we implemented ZScaler, I submitted a request to work from home 2 days week. Was approved. Those two days of the week are -each- more productive than the other 3 days combined, because, as it turns out, having every HTTPS call routed halfway across the continent and DPI'd before being sent to the "real" destination takes a tremendous toll on network speed. Who'da thunk?
You would not believe how many developer tools break when an impersonating certificate sits between you and the real server.

That's WikiLeaks reaching a whole new level of low. Tantamount to blackmail.
The fact is that they are actually damaging the user's of those tech companies products by doing this, not the tech companies themselves. About time someone started an alternative to WikiLeaks that actually involved ethics, rather than an ego-trip for a questionable individual.

The tech companies deal with (and compromise themselves for) governments who issue death threats to Assange and those he works with.
I'd cut him some slack for playing hardball (and not hold my breath for a more ethical group to rise up and also do the public favors for free).

It looks that way, but further comment isn't possible without knowing what the demands are.
E.g. Don't screw us over by helping the feds take out charges against us for handing you the data would be a perfectly reasonable demand.
Since no reason has been given for the companies' reluctance to say what the demands are, it's possible that they're all perfectly reasonable.

I'll guess that WikiLeaks suddenly realized that they could be subject to civil lawsuits and/or criminal prosecution by simply relaying this information.
"Here, let me show you how to break into your house."
"Hello, police, someone just broke into my house."

ISPs that want the federal government to eliminate broadband privacy rules say that your Web browsing and app usage data should not be classified as "sensitive" information. How about, "delicate"? "tactful"? "defensive"?

Repeating my comment on Ars itself: I invite any ISP executive who actually believes this to start publishing every detail of his browsing history in real time. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
