Ask HN: Most awesome step by step / tutorial designs on the internet
I want to create high quality step by step tutorials: clean and structured!

Who can recommend templates or great inspirations of websites providing you really clean guides and tutorials?

- i already ran through the beautiful apple and Google material.io Design Guidelines

I always get a little irritated, perhaps irrationally so, when I find another "open" project that uses a new or obscure content licensing scheme. In this case, they are using ones from the "Open Database" family, of which I am not familiar.

Can someone clarify what, if any, advantages for consumers/users this has over one of the Creative Commons content licenses? If there is a code aspect to it, then please similarly explain the advantage it has over one of the BSD, MIT, Apache, or A/GPL-compatible licenses.

License proliferation has been a real pain of late (past few years) and has muddied the waters significantly whereas many of these above-mentioned ones have largely stood the test of time and already serve a huge swath of the content world.
Xiaomi has a very interesting pricing strategy. Generally speaking, they tend to be lower margin, but also they really cut supplier margin to the bone. They love pitting competitors against each other for the same socket (promising high volume, but ultimately you get beat out by someone else). It's hard to turn down their promised volume numbers. I wouldn't be surprised if they're getting the 865 cheaper than other players like Samsung.

Could someone please change the title of this post? It's rather inaccurate and spreading FUD... legitimate offline web applications are not going to randomly lose their storage abilities in Safari. Tons of people read this (admittedly hard to follow) blog post quickly and then took a nose-dive into their own hot takes.

Hoping Webkit pushes another of these posts later to clear things up.
It seems partially related, if you read the linked threads. It goes on to link to various other issues detailing what is going on with the author, including the ultimate reason he added the job message (he had a ton of lawyer fees he needed to recuperate.) He ran out of money, it would appear, to continue paying and ultimately had to take his sentence if I got the general gist.
This is the idea behind intuitionism.
This isn't about a comparison with other countries. It's about ways in which the US was unprepared. And yes, some other countries did have significant stockpiles of masks (compared to their annual use).

Also, global supply chains are not "a fact of life". They are the result of a distinct, easily identifiable set of policies, regulations, laws and decisions made by the US government and corporations over a period of less than half of my life. They have occured because people with power decided that they wanted them.

This list will be decried as excessive regulation, and we know which party will claim this. And in the name of profits and jobs, that list will get cut below the bare minimum once they have the votes to do so. It's not a majoritarian democracy, rather it's a system still biased toward landed elite, same as since the founding days, today these are corporations.

Not even one minute after a pandemic, they will restate their position as: the disaster just happened thus can be ignored as impossible to happen again in our next two lifetimes, do you want to be the one to cost jobs and profits with your wild speculation?! You are leaving money on the table with your fantasies!
Mixing backpropagation and gradient descent does not inspire a lot of confidence.

What they are describing seems to be based on hierarchical temporal memories (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_temporal_memory)
I am pointing out curse ship populations are actually at lower risk than society for this specific disease. The crew is all young and it’s mostly irrelevant if someone is 4 or 40 relative to people being a heathy 80 or sick 90.
I'm not sure what that has to do with my observation that "small percentage" events do occur in small percentages, and that they do occur in large absolute numbers when multiplied by sufficiently large numbers. My point is we shouldn't be dismissive about it not going to happen to "us", because it will happen to nonzero amounts of "us", and that's kind of the point of the mathematical reasoning.

But to your point: Someone else is disputing you on this, but I would say even that it's irrelevant what life expectancy was 100 years ago. Today in the present reality we are talking about mostly preventable death. I don't think we should be so arrogant to say that we can prevent misfortune all the time, but we're not talking about inevitability either. We have medical technology and progress for a reason.
The best manifesto is an history manual.

Take any century in the last 2000 years of human history, and there are files about people. For long it was sculpted or hand written. Then it was printed. Now it's digital. But it's the same thing, only the scale and speed change.

And at any point during those centuries, somewhere in the world, some entity (it doesn't have to be the gov) does bad things with those files. It's different every time. Excluding, killing, tracking, stealing, controlling... The form changes every time, but it's the same thing: abuse of those files.

It would, of course, be less of a problem if the information access was perfectly symmetrical. If anybody could access anybody's data, society would probably have a hard time for a few years, then adjust. And maybe become more fair.

But that's not what's happening. Here it just reinforces power asymmetry. And it creates incentives with huge bias that affect everybody's life.

There are three reasons why people give your answer.

1 - We had a nice run for a few decades in North America and West Europe. It's been a sweet life. And the human mind sets it as a new baseline. Now people see this as normal, and something else as the exception.

However, those decades ARE the exception. An exception that needs maintenance to preserve as best as we can.

2 - We are already pretty bad at making the connection between our misery today and the consequences of our past lifestyle, but today's information system is making it extra hard.

There are several factors for this: those in power getting really good at PR, information overload, more levels of indirection between causes and consequences, and the whole system complexity that never ceases to increase.

3 - The convenience is huge, and the price delayed

We don't get tracked for free, we get huge convenience in exchange. Plus we don't pay the price immediately, nor individually. We pay it as a society, and since it's cumulative, it's not obvious how much it costs us. It will only be painful in ... Well nobody knows when.

In fact, not only doing things right would rip us from convenience, but we would individually pay a strong price on top, right now. While seeing everybody around not doing it.

It's the exact same problem than for global warming.

Not accepting tracking is a deep and important political decision that shapes the future of our entire society. It is as important as avoiding mixing the church and the state or defending freedom of speech.

And it's also why it's not a popular view: it requires to think about what society we want to build, and not just what life we hope to have individually.
Adding to this, Rosberg took advantage of the "win as a team" culture to win his championship. He fought a psychological war with Hamilton where the team refused to take sides. It was the only way to beat Hamilton.

Mercedes had to protect themselves from this and made the smart choice in choosing Bottas as he was well known for a calm and team focused demeanor. With Bottas, Mercedes could further build the team around Hamilton without causing issues between the drivers.

It would've been really interesting to see the team structure if Rosberg returned in 2017. Mercedes dodged a bullet by getting Bottas at the right time.
The cache is overseen by the Department of Heath and Human Services. The Senate was not able to confirm a new secretary until January 29, 2018. By all accounts, this was in the wheelhouse of the DNC, and they chose to kick the can down the road.

I don't really understand how this will result in any real difference in privacy or homogeneity of the web. Realistically every browser that implements this is gonna offer up all the info the server asks for because asking the user each time is terrible UX.

Additionally this will allow google to further segment out any browser that doesn't implement this because they'll ask for it, get `null` back and respond with sorry we don't support your browser, only now you can't just change your UAS and keep going, now you actually need to change your browser.

And if other browsers do decide to implement it, they'll just lie and claim to be chrome to make sure sites give the best exp... so we're back to where we started.
Cool! We'll look into that.
The number of people outside of HN who buy a phone based on the processor is vanishingly small.

It's not like when Intel's advertising told everyone they should feel bad if they didn't have a Pentium in their desktop boxes. If you ask people what processor is in their current phone, 99.99999999999% will have no idea.

Maybe web publishers need to let go of this idea of pixel-perfect rendering and identical JavaScript behavior across browsers, and instead just worry about publishing good content. The web is not Adobe InDesign or Photoshop. At its essence it is a system for publishing text and hyperlinks that point to other content. Get the content right and don't worry so much about whether the scrollbar is 2 pixels thick or 3.
We are in the same boat. Certain browser/OS combinations don't handle Same-Site correctly, so we are using UA sniffing to work around their limitations by altering Same-Site cookie directives for those browsers. We will likely have to look at some other mechanism for dealing with nonconforming Same-Site behavior.
There haven't been any common beliefs or narratives that young people couldn't die from driving or couldn't die without visible causes. On the contrary, the common narrative about driving is that young people are disproporionately dying due to inexperience and reckless behavior, and this narrative is true, more young people die in car crashes than old people. https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/teena...

There have been reports that young people without other complications are not dying from coronavirus. That's why reports of someone young and healthy dying of COVID are getting attention, because it runs contrary to what has been widely reported.

They carefully caveated their results, and we all know this isn't peer-reviewed or replicated--although it has been informally reviewed by other scientists.

But it is also very safe to say that serious scientists don't put forth studies that someone completely uncredentialled can poke a hole in with two minutes of thought.
Just curious, what do you gain from having your code be open-source if you do not accept outside contributions?
This sounds like it could be a game changer. If it's accurate and can be mass produced, widespread regular self testing would surely be a most effective way of controlling new infections until a vaccine is developed.
If you're using Cordova or Capacitor this is why, at Ionic, we recommend never using localStorage for storing important data. Better to use an explicit filesystem storage solution like SQLite.

This is a case of 'never click "opt-out" on spam'. Clearview is not to be trusted. One should not go through their process. They are not likely to delete the data, and if they have none, they are likely to create a profile for you.
Ask HN: Are tech companies making any effort to diversify their supply chains?
For example, after 3 years of trade conflict and now C19, is Apple making any attempt to diversify? If not, is that rational?
The survival rate with treatment isn’t the important factor though, it’s survival rate without treatment. If you show up at the hospital with covid and there aren’t any ventilators or beds for you, you’re rolling the dice whether you’re 17 or 70.

Or maybe you’re diligent and you haven’t left the home in weeks and one day you slip and fall in the bathtub and break a bone. How long until an ambulance shows up, if at all? How long until you have surgery, if at all? And then you catch covid anyway.
I think it's perfectly fair to lean towards cynicism whenever Google goes out on their own making changes to Chrome.

> Have you tried buying or selling a house these days? In most parts of America, you can't -- the registries of deeds aren't open for business with coronavirus.

You don't actually need to immediately record the deed to buy/sell real estate. I believe this used to be the norm back when remote towns would batch up all their new deeds and send them to the county seat by horse.
I don't think the facts agree with your statement here.
The left wing of the Senate blocked the confirmation of Secretary Azar until January 29, 2018. That leaves the Department in control of the DNC.

I do not think it is fair for you to call one base deluded. And I consider it highly ironic that you would use the phrase "art of obstruction" in this circumstance.
I don't understand why people use css frameworks. This stylesheet will make your site look like this other site. Cool, but what if I want to make my site look different than other sites? Then I have to override a lot of over specific selectors and make my own CSS even harder to read/write.
My point was that the GOP have been working really hard to make every part of the government as inefficient as possible so that everything can be turned over to private business.

The GOP has put the government and every possible group they can brand as "negative" on one side and the white, Christian, pro-life, straight people on the other side and has forced them to choose. It's not an attack, it's a fact and it's plain to see every day.

The Post office is just one example. In the early 1970s, Congress passed legislation that create a half-public half-corporate governing structure forcing it to operate as a business

In 2006, Congress required that the Postal Service pre-fund its health benefit obligations at least fifty years into the future, this rule has created over 90% of the Post Office's losses.

The GOP have been behind all the changes, you can argue that the Postal Service is wasteful and needs to be privatized unless it's losing money hand over first, so the GOP set it up so that's the case.

The only saving grace for the Post Office is that no private business would deliver any mail to the rural areas of the country, because a business could never justify the cost vs the pay back.

It's the same with Internet Service. My sister lives less than 90 miles from NYC and can't get anything other than satellite or dial up service.
To explain why, two quotes from beyond the paywall:

> Apple outlines this in an App Store rule that says “games offered in a game subscription must be owned or exclusively licensed by the developer.”

> A related guideline bans the subscription services from carrying over upgrades like levels, extra weapons and characters unless they are also available as an in-app purchase in the App Store.
Banks can get loans for free, and pass that onto credit-worthy businesses. Less credit-worthy businesses can get loans through the SBA through the stimulus. The government's existing programs (assuming the stimulus passes) will breach the extra 90 day gap for most.

And to flip it around, if 50% of small businesses go under, banks will be left holding a lot of bad debt. Banks will go under. Landlords won't have renters, and will be left holding mortgages. Without action, the whole system collapses.

You're assuming the economy is humming along right now. It isn't. Large parts are shut down. Some parts aren't. Those frictions are causing massive structural collapse as we debate.

Also: In most cases, up-front payment is fine while everything else is shut down. I understand the importance of credit. But the alternative is worse. If this continues for 18 months, virtually all mortgages, private and commercial, will be under water. Virtually all renters will be evicted, or rents will have gone down many-fold. Etc.
Respecting someone's privacy doesn't mean forcing them to "consensually" give up their privacy.
Great job! This is cool
Seems you have an agenda, but I'll help you out.

"The financial position of the United States includes assets of at least $269.6 trillion (1576% of GDP) and debts of $145.8 trillion (852% of GDP) to produce a net worth of at least $123.8 trillion (723% of GDP)[a] as of Q1 2014."

I think at this point it's clear that the United States is also the most self-hating country in the world. Our media harps on the exact same pseudo-controversies that Russian trolls use as wedge issues, primarily because people online tend to swallow anything anti-american whole, particularly given the current state of politics.

And this article starts strong with partisan fuckery. It blames Trump:

>President Trump, bizarrely, has so far resisted ordering companies to produce more supplies and equipment

It when the source is clicked it mentions Trump is resisting signing an executive order. Apparently people are upset that Trump isn't acting like a king. But the article takes its swipe and most people won't click the link. The problem is elsewhere in the article. Quite simply it's globalism. If we had local production we could ramp it up just in time. But people let their partisan idiocy get in the way of rational decision making and right now antiglobalism not with the range of socially acceptable discourse... But don't worry, Coronavirus is about to push the political pendulum right.
Is this open source? Really nice job, the code architecture seems fairly clean.
I think it is more up to date to grab a Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, Hydra based console, and program it like the old days.
You don't surrender your agency, but your rights will be the ones determined by the country your are residing in.

Not casting a vote is a choice not to vote which is also a form of opinion.
I'm sure you are exaggerating somewhat. Like, you probably wouldn't permanently give up your freedom of movement or the vote to stave off your parents' deaths two days or whatever. There are tradeoffs to be made here, and a temporary reduction in privacy might be worth it for the lives that could be saved. I personally think so. Probably most of the population agrees. The people on this site skew privacy-oriented, so you'll probably get less agreement here than in the population writ large.
> If you learn to program in one language, it's easy to learn another.

That's often the case: many people who think that don't really use the strengths of the languages they use.

On the other hand, I've written a basic lambda calculus parser for fun and gone on to write (non-distributable, if I care about people) software using it, also for fun; I've written idiomatic, well-formed code in BASIC, C, Perl, Ruby, Scheme, Standard ML, and a wide range of other things; and I've basically added features by removing code. At some point, even if you know what you're doing, there comes a point where, kinda-sorta, it becomes easy to learn others.

It just takes a lot more than learning only one language to get to that point. Whether the person who first coined that comment about learning languages meant it as a simplification of a wise concept or was a blubdev who never really figured out the significant differences between programming languages is a question I'd like to see answered definitively, based on knowledge of the individual rather than guesses.
Using cell phone location data to track users isn't at all new in North America & Europe. Adtech companies have been doing since the 2000s.

Having worked at a digital signage company I can tell you that all digital out of home advertising companies use cell phone tower location data to calculate impressions (views) for their billboards. Note this isn't limited to digital outdoor ads, static (posters) ads also use the same location data to determine the amount of impressions they get.

This metric is usually required so that the Advertising companies can bill their customers.

It amazes me that so many HN commenters think this type of tracking is new. What you people should be concerned about are the adtech companies that have been doing this with little oversight for at least a decade.
Yeah Tory denied it on live TV as well.

Some things to be aware of are that Tory was the CEO of Rogers previously. Maybe he knew which data they have available and since it was a company owned by a family friend he could get whatever he wants.

That is just a single example from my personal situation and in my own circle of friends, I am not alone in that expectation.

We could look at another example, say the increasingly widespread use of mobile payments in China. How about people living in areas without other major services who need to keep in touch with family/friends/emergency services?

Regardless of the other situations, you're also making the assumption that I and others can just immediately find other employment. With the current massive number of layoffs, alternative employment prospects are dropping for a hell of a lot of people. So if this is the only job I can get right now, is it reasonable still to say that I can 'easily' give up my cell phone, for the low low price of not having enough money for rent/mortgage and food?
