New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: WordPress vs. Django/Flask?

Ask HN: WordPress vs. Django/Flask?
5 by amts | 14 comments on Hacker News.
I may get to work for a small translation agency to build a website for them plus a bit of marketing stuff, and maybe a remote desktop and a platform for invoicing for their personnel. I am self-teaching myself web-design and the related stuff (Python mainly for everything, but HTML/CSS, C++, SQL and databases also) and a few years ago I also administered a Wordpress site for a while, so am a bit familiar with themes/addons etc. But for a few recent months it seems I've seen some news on HN as about once per month that someone's Wordpress site was hacked. Which web framework may be better for a small agency (or in a general business case): Wordpress or Django/Flask? Can you describe a typical workflow and which other tools/frameworks/keywords/etc (like REST) I need to use for this? As I am a bit nervous that I am self-taught in this field, though have tons of materials on that, but this job may provide some resources for my main projects.

The other two bureaus, and Equifax previously, confirmed identity by asking knowledge based questions. They do not need my phone or email for anything. Next, trying to obtain the report by phone instead of web site per instructions, I got to the point where I entered my ZIP code on the phone keypad, the voice menu system correctly repeated the number back to me, but every time I press 1 to indicate it is correct, the system acts like it got an invalid response and only gives me the option to enter further information by voice, not by the phone keypad. Just as with my phone number and email...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Why can't the US government run their own social media?

Ask HN: Why can't the US government run their own social media? 2 by rglullis | 2 comments on Hacker News. With the news yesterday of POTUS joining threads.net and with the fanfare about the possibility of following him from other AP-compatible servers (like Mastodon), I was left wondering why is it that the White House couldn't just run their own services? Doesn't "POTUS is using threads for social media" feel a bit like "POTUS is using outlook.com for email"? Is there anything about the bureaucracy that stops their some small team to setup a Mastodon server on "social.whitehouse.gov" and make this a reality? I find it hard to believe that this would be "if it got hacked it could create diplomacy issues", because I don't think that Facebook is setting up any type of special infrastructure to deal with political figures on their platform. Also, none of this seems to be a problem for some of the EU governments. Maybe I am missin...
