One thing I also notice when seeing issues like this is that this is also a problem with both the assistive tools themselves, and the accessibility APIs and methods available to build web pages.

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with building content and feature rich websites, but when we do it is difficult to build them in a way, with or without javascript, that's also useful to browse through screen readers. We have to resort to hacks like skip link hacks and the rest.

I think not only do we have to get better at building accessible web pages, but the technology needs to get better to make building accessible web pages easier and more usable.

Hi there! I work at Algolia and I may have a solution for you: you can filter on ranges to offer that kind of experience.

For instance, if you decide to accept a +/- $20 margin, instead of filtering on exact price, you'd create a filter like `price < 180 AND price > 220` (replacing the numbers with your formula to calculate the range).

This gives you full power on what is the "error margin" you accept. Hope this helps!
Maybe it's because of the specific tech skills you got?

I have to admit, what I wrote was 2 years of my freelacing career. I started blogging 2017 and now requests from clients are coming to me.
My day job is leading teams that build native and web versions of applications for clients, so it’s strange how much I agree with the sentiment, except for the world “replace”.

Steve Jobs’ original iPhone announcement gets brought up a lot. You don’t release an entire development platform in a couple months as a course correction. They were working on a native SDK before the first iPhone launch. The talk about developing web apps as being the primary way to develop on mobile was a bit of face saving and Jobs style misdirection since the SDK was delayed.

Native apps will never go away, because mobile platform owners can’t wait years until their hardware features are accessible through standardized web interfaces.

That said I agree that too many mobile apps out there should have been made as a website. Also many digital experiences take just seconds or minutes of interaction to be meaningful, so the overhead of App Store reviews and publishing is total overkill. About 80% of apps I have on my phone are not used daily and just taking up space.

However web apps historically have been painfully negligent in persisting user data, and lost some trust among non technical users in my experience.
Don't know why you're downvoted, Messenger was native code before the rewrite, not React (nor React Native).
Agreed, it’s amazing the range of guests Joe Rogan has on his show. Admittedly some are more witch doctors than actual doctors but his recent conversation with Michael Osterholm was the real deal.

For a survey of a few watches I have owned:

- $50-60 Fossil: Would break in under a year.

- $500 Automatic Tissot: after a couple of years, it couldn't keep time (it added minutes in a period of a week).

- $400 Quartz Citizen: something on it died after three years, and it wasn't the battery. Not worth it to save.

- $4000 Automatic Omega: keeps time amazingly (off by ~7 seconds a week). No issues after two years.

- $60 GPS Soleus: perfect watch for running/working out/rough activities.

When two of my sub $500 watches fail like they did in under give years, I am very hesitant to want another one. On top of that, there are many watches that are just branded watches from another company (e.g. a Burberry Watch is really a branded Fossil Watch).

I can see why someone would prefer a smart watch based on those experiences. The reason I don't get a smart watch is primarily that I dislike having yet another devices to charge. Well...that and I really like my Omega.
Same thing happening in Slovenia on monday.
This is correct afaik, I'm pretty sure the decision to close schools is with the ministries of education of each German state, however if federal institutions put out strong recommendations, state and local administrators will likely follow very soon after. Federal ministries may not have absolute control here (unless they declare a state of emergency or something) but they do have plenty of influence.
in practice i'm pretty sure the web things i'm using are tracking me much more than any of the native apps i've ever used. I remember the outcry whenever someone would find out that $native app would send some weird packets over wireshark - and even then, it's been 10 years since windows started asking for permissions for software to open a socket so you can't really miss it if it tracks you.

Also native apps don't have ads (afaik, never saw one except windows 10's shell but then I use 99% libre software), and I can stay at version 1.5 of the native app if it works better for me while this is impossible with web apps.
I wouldn't be so quick to call him an outlier. His experience is far from uncommon. You can find plenty of people who've had the same or other problems.
Anathem is probably my favorite with The Diamond Age or Snow Crash second. The Baroque Cycle was very rewarding to read, it really made vivid the invention of the modern world in a way that most history doesn't, but they were not great novels. He really needs an editor who could force him to cut a lot, almost all his books would be improved by being 20% shorter.

Well, they listed a cruise ship.
Singapore, Bahrain, San Marino(!), occupied Palestinian territories, Liechtenstein, etc are listed too and they re all tiny islands or city-states.

The only reason WHO is not listing HK and TW separately is to avoid displeasing China.

They should be listed separately as in the fight against the virus they act as independent entities using their own resources and local policies. These actions have no relation to the political claims made by China over these territories.
China is making everything into a political issue, so
you will never know if it worked or not though. 4a & 2 look the same after the fact
But banning direct flights from Italy was definitely not the right action especially since the tourists were just rerouted through other European airports. All the epidimiologists are saying that closing borders doesn't help since the beginning
The death numbers are only one component of the problem.

The other problem is the 10-15% ICU rate. That swamps healthcare systems. Italy's healthcare system has nearly collapsed in the north, from just 12,000 positive cases so far. They're having to let patients die, which is why their mortality rate is so extremely high. The Lombardy region has one of the better rated healthcare systems on the planet and it can't handle what's happening. Unconstrained, Italy's healthcare system nationwide would collapse rapidly as their cases ballooned into the many tens of thousands. I'm not picking on Italy here, merely using them as a clear example of how serious this is. Every country should be treating this like a severe, immediate threat to their healthcare system continuing to function.
It obviously depends on where you are (hence _most_ western markets) but in most parts of the UK and Ireland (and indeed many places in the US) if you bought at the _peak_ of 2007, mortgaged to the hilt, if you sold now, you would break even on inflation.

You're also forgetting that they had somewhere to live for a decade for the cost of inflation of the house, which is significantly cheaper than normal rental prices in many places.

To come out even after a decade, after housing costs, seems a pretty "safe" investment to me. Certainly not as lucrative as having invested in an index tracker, but it beats the 0% interest my bank pays on my current account balance.

Budget is one of those things that cannot be voted by the current affairs government so they just keep renewing the last budget allowances from the last actual government, as far as I understand (I don't know if it's a legal requirement, or just a custom). Don't take my word for it though, I'm definitely not an expert on Belgian politics.

But the coronavirus crisis is definitely a current affair, and the current government has free reign to do anything it deems necessary about it.

Doesn't that make sense? Realistically having separate numbers for each European country is excessive. Anyone who cares what is happening in somewhere like, eg, Latvia can go look up the Latvian public health page.

Latvia is smaller than most Chinese provinces. It isn't a useful amount of data at the global scale. The UK is smaller than the major Chinese provinces.

It doesn't make any sense to give the UK as much paper space as India, for example. Taiwan, HK and Macau are not where the injustice is here. India is nearly 20% of all people.

Exactly.

Besides, it's a lose/lose proposition for the gov anyway.

If they do act, people will blame them for the cost of the action.

If they don't, people will blame then for the cost of not acting.

Nobody will pat them on the back, except a few intellectuals, for acting.

In fact, economically, the virus spreading is an opportunity to fire people you couldn't fire before, get rid of an old population costing money and have an excuse for a lot of things like passing certain types of law. People will not focus on that, their attention is elsewhere, and you can always invoke the circumstances if they do.

We have created a system in which it's not in the interest of the gov to solve the problem. And in which the population lives in a way that makes it hard to do the right thing by themselves.

Thank you so much for releasing this. I have several personal projects were this can be useful.

One variation I’m thinking about and want your opinion on. I’m building a circuit that VERY precisely (think <1ms accuracy) marks the start and end of when a high speed object passes the field of view. The exact scenario is a bit hard to describe if you aren’t familiar with the subject area, but an analogy that works well is imagine having two sets of cones laid out on the ground with 10 meters between the groups. Then imagine a car doing 100mph between the two sets of cones. What I need to be able to answer is:

- did the car go between the first set of two cones?

- what’s the exact time it went between them?

- did the car go between the second set of two cones?

- what’s the precise time it went through the second set?

- what’s the calculated speed between the two sets?

The real scenario isn’t touching the ground, so anything pressure sensitive doesn’t work. I’ve been currently experimenting with using lasers on both the start and end gates and an fpga doing the calculations, but I’d love if I could do this with a single laser setup using a scanning setup like yours.

Can you speak to how hard it would be to use something like this to precisely (1ms or better accuracy) measure a low flying object between a starting and ending point?
> in practice i'm pretty sure the web apps i'm using are much more tracking me than any of the native apps i've ever used.

...because you're not seeing a link in your dev console to google analytics?

You're giving a company a trove of information about your local device that can't be easily found and somehow you find that to be "less" invasive? that's a real spicy take.
I'd challenge people who write these think pieces to build a PWA that rivals a native app.

Somehow the "best PWAs" are a few pages of static text and images. And many of them (like Twitter) have horrible UI behaviour.

In good faith, we can assume we're talking about the context of this article. Let's step beyond the literal and discuss the entire conversation. If we do this, yes it is torture. Even if we don't consider the entire conversation, just within the cultural context of the article we can assume that it would be for most people.

>The reauthorization includes a ban on the collection of GPS and cell phone site location data under Section 215, as well as a five-year limitation for the government to retain most of the materials it collects under the authorities. And the bill requires the government to notify individuals if it plans to use information collected under Section 215 against them.

>The measure also formally ends the National Security Agency's bulk phone collection data program that was stopped last year.

Without clear "if X then Y" clauses for the case where the government does not follow its own laws then these causeless are meaningless. Without consequences the TLAs will keep violating the law.

While you are correct that the spiral rule is an over-complicated (and sadly, popular) rule for C declarations, that doesn't really answer GP's point -- that putting the types after the binding results in much less messy type signatures. This was the reason why Go went with such a setup (and presumably also Python, though their hand was slightly forced by backwards compatibility concerns).
The phosphorous crime in question is using it as a reagent in a few illicit drug synthesis paths (and poor ones too), specifically methamphetamine.

So yes, there have been a plenty of phosphorous related crime.

Now, whether we should allow just about anyone to synthesize meth is a different and more pertinent question. Synthesis alone is not especially dangerous, illegal distribution is... and this ban was taken to curb it. It is not especially successful. (Also limits on saffrol and sulfuric acid for other drugs.)

In comparison, production of explosives is dangerous. Risks fire and explosions, therefore should not be done on a bench top by just about anyone. (And reason for limits on nitric acid.)

Chemical disposal is also a quite minor problem.

Apple is a huge weight against PWA, but it isn’t about money. Apple AppStore revenue is an afterthought when compared to the rest of their top line revenue.

Of course, everyone will hope that it's not their own parents, but only that one grumpy old person in the neighborhood that everyone dislikes anyway.

As for the reasons of why there is a divide between young and old, I guess a big part is jealousy, because the older generations had more stable job opportunities available to them.

If you live and work in Denmark, your employer is technically responsible for providing you with a height adjustable desk, chair, keyboard, mouse and monitor, if they expect you to work from home.

Localization is not a problem; not giving users control over their locale is. If you travel to a foreign country and suddenly can't read anything on the websites you regularly visit, that's pretty bad. If multiple languages are spoken in your country and you're forced to use one you don't speak, that's bad as well. Websites should never assume they know better which locale their users want than the users themselves.
You’re wrong about their lack of ability to manufacture at scale. This part they have nailed down and used a lot of the capital to get right. It’s just that the units haven’t sold.

The UK exemption is logical. The UK immigration systems are linked and accessible by the US. This is why the trusted-traveller program could be extended to cover the UK with an additional registration.

So the US immigration side knows all details of people connecting via the UK to the US so their pre-screening is effective. This includes how they got to the UK.

> To me, this implies a further disadvantage: extremely high latency when compared with in-person collaboration.

First, it's high latency, not extremely high latency.
Second, it has huge advantages:
1.) While latency (in terms of how quickly you finish task) will increase, your bandwidth will increase too. Everyone get more done.
2.) With asynchronous communication, you are not interrupted by communication, you can do it in bulk.

In case there is something urgent, you always can do a call, or synchronous chat.
On the other hand governments are full of old vulnerable people who will be worried about succumbing to it themselves.
A US specific question - Does anyone know of a dashboard where you can see the trend of the Covid-19 positive cases by state? I would find it helpful to see if my state is trending up/flat/down. For example, in MA the cases had been doubling by day, except Yesterday they only jumped from 91 to 95. It would be good to see the trend for MA as well as for other states.

At least in my country, we spend radically more per-capita on healthcare for the old than we do for the young [1] simply because the old need more of it.

For men age 5-45 we spend less than £1000, for men age 80-85 we spend more than £4500. It's a similar story for women, but with a bump for women of childbearing age.

I don't see any evidence of a bias in favour of the working-age population.

It’s almost tautologically true that the cost of closures are considered in the decision-making process. This “article” tries to portrait this entirely obvious fact as some sort of sinister conspiracy, with cargo-cult charts to appeal all scientify.
They made choices for reasons. Borders aren't a universal truth, countries disagree on these matters and the WHO has to work with that because they are a global entity.

It is obvious why it happened, but it is nevertheless perfectly reasonable. If anything the Europeans are the problem; resisting being aggregated into sensible units. But nobody begrudges them that.

> They should be listed separately as in the fight against the virus they act as independent entities using their own resources and local policies.

Don't the Scots have their own health system? Maybe Scotland should be listed separately from England?

The situation reports list Occupied Palestinian territory separately; they probably aren't going it alone. Maybe the WHO should have merged them?

There is no end to the nitpicking that is possible. There isn't anything particularly important in the aggregations they are using.
The fact that they refuse to do things like closing borders and immediately ceasing all travel by foreigners or citizens who've traveled traveled abroad meanwhile ending arbitrary social events is the reason you know it's hype up media nonsense.

Most of the actions taken are those most likely not affecting those in the target older or immuno-compromised demographic likely to have the serious consequences.
