The title attribute is not a good way to give elements an accessible name for screen readers (except iframes, title attribute is the right choice for them). Better would be to put the text inside the existing div and use CSS to visually hide it (which does take ~11 properties to cover older and different browsers):

<div class="votearrow" title="upvote">Upvote</div>

Alternately, instead of having the grayarrow.gif as a background image on a div, they could use an img element so the alt attribute becomes the accessible name of the link. Editing it in my browser's inspector, it looks exactly the same:

<img src="grayarrow.gif" alt="upvote" title="upvote">

An advantage of this approach is if the GIF doesn't load, the alt text is displayed instead (in some browsers, not all).

If you want to leave the title attribute to show on hover, that's fine but it's only going to help a sighted mouse user who needs more than triangles to understand that clicking them will upvote or downvote.

Since there are many upvote buttons on a page, a standard accessibility recommendation would be for each to have unique names to differentiate them out of context, something like "upvote ratww message 23326798." If user testing was done with people who use screen readers, I suspect they'd say that's too wordy and these controls should not be used out of context therefore, "upvote" and "downvote" are fine.
I'm not trying to win any arguments - calling it an ad hominem makes no sense. Just trying to understand your perspective and make you realise your own biases. People too often blame the other side of their biases (in your case, "left wing is biased") without being aware of their own.
I mean true Democracy and government and representation by the people.

There’s two way’s to characterize the protests: I don’t like China or I want Democracy.

PRC put strong pressure against Democracy in HK back during British rule, probably because it would set a precedent for after the handover. And despite the last few British governors pushing to increase Democratic processes many efforts for that were stalled by the HK people.

So now that a new governor is in place I fully support movements to increase Democracy, but anything that smells of just an anti-China motivation is just too politically tainted for me to get behind.
Ask HN: Watching Spaceships
How do I track the Dragon launch from my location? Is there a good non-fluffy site or app for tracking the flight path of spaceships overhead? I think my latlong gives me a great chance of seeing it lit up as I will he post sunset while the spaceship will be in daylight!
I'm not sure, I quit checking for awhile then went back and it was gone or hidden maybe 3 months ago, I feel like I did find it but maybe it's just the public pastes at the top now.

It probably caused a lot of drama.
No, it means you're a consultant and charge premium.
It's pretty despicable to show up in a thread where we are having an honest discussion, tag people as conservative(I think you mean "heretic"), and offer your blacklist to employers. Heck off.
Yes! Now I can bring down my production server even easier!

Ha, joking. This is useful when toying around. Thanks.
Examples of Great Programming Tutorials
This is like writing a cost function for a global optimization algorithm for a problem with tons of parameters. You will very soon find out that the optimizer is much more adept at finding highly rated, but extremely useless outliers than you are at writing a competent cost function.

Herein lies the path to coming home to a cart filled with very-cheap-cause-it-expires-tomorrow produce and no tooth paste because it didn't make the cut under some top dollars limit you introduced to fix another optimization loophole.
>>what kind of nefarious thing do you fear Google will do

Well, the headline is one good example. That google controlled JS is EXACTLY how they removed access to the original URL...on somebody else's page that isn't theirs. "Signed exchanges" doesn't fix that either. It's also how they hijack the back button and swipe events for carousel navigated pages.
VAT is on everything. So yes.

But it won't have the 10% import duty coming from the US, on top of VAT. And lower transport costs, since they're not being hauled from the US to the EU.

I always check use-by and best before dates. When milk can have a date that's over a week away, I really hate it when someone buys milk that's use by tomorrow. Same for for bread, cheese, eggs, butter, fruit and veg, any number of items. Supermarkets naturally want to sell you the soon to expire stuff so how can you trust their pickers? The answer might be buyers and deliverers independent from the shops.
Stateful Apps with Serverless – Talking Serverless

Well, I ask again -- the specific proposed laws under discussion don't touch on any of those principles. They're about sedition, secession, national security, terrorism, etc. We have laws about those things too in the US.

So is this actually an argument about the influence / authority of China and the extent of their power, or about the specific laws being passed?

Or is it about making sure the 27 years left on the clock are as close to the system that people knew before as possible? Because I don't think the influence of China battle in Hong Kong going to be won, in the long run.

-- edit: btw I equally don't understand (well I do, but for the sake of argument) why China/Xi is so in a rush to accelerate the 27 years left for Hong Kong. If it's going to be reverted to 1 system guaranteed eventually, what's the need to do this right now?

-- further edit: btw I also don't understand why Carrie Lam is so eager to do Beijing's bidding. If she's an independent/educated/Hong Kong native, what's her motivation? Or do they have some dirt on her? If she's worried about being extradited, you would think she'd be most advocating for an independent legal system.

Two Pearls of the Web
Phones systems are information transportation systems that handle information requests.

Phones systems are are not platforms to host speech - i.e. CC laws can't force me to play your phone recording in my private home when someone calls me.

You talk about how established Common Carrier laws are, but that's precisely what they're established for - transportation. Hence the word carrier. CC laws were originally for unbiased trucking and rail transportation, and do not guarantee that you can force a private warehouse to store your goods.
A lot of words to say nothing.

Yes it’s a bad keyboard. But the interesting story is in how a company that once prioritised quality of user experience came to make that choice.

I love the ability to pause and cut/paste from the animations.
Due to slow business my company has introduced a 32 hour week with corresponding pay cut in order to save cash. Management higher up is taking bigger cuts and the CEO is taking zero salary until end of the year ( he is making >10 million usually so I think he will be ok). Lower paid workers can keep their 40 hour week. Overall I think this is a good way to handle it.

I think a lot of companies are using the current situation as an excuse to do what they wanted to do anyway. I am pretty sure that during the boom of the last ten years ( the “Obama/Trump” boom ) a lot of excess people have been hired who are now costing a lot of money. I wonder how things will work out in Silicon Valley. The bubble looked already fragile before COVID.

An astronaut on TV just said they're designed to be slim and do exactly what's needed in this case: emergency life support in case the capsule loses pressure. They're custom fit, they don't have a lot of doodads hanging off them, I'm guessing you wouldn't use them for a spacewalk, but for a launch they get the job done and don't take up a lot of room.
I don't think that's quite true - food insecurity has significantly increased since the pandemic response has began.

I think he's saying that the modern economic shell game that is going on is actively damaging the economic welfare of a large body of people. From my perspective the "modern" part of it has become more extractive than generative. A lot of "innovation" has been to cut as many corners as possible while isolating wealth into fewer and fewer groups.
I think this is overstated. The butterfly keyboards were better day to day than the old style imho, and I say that as someone who had to have one replaced multiple times. It was the robustness that was an issue rather than the keyboard itself.

Apple can be accused of moving too slowly to when issues arose perhaps, but they did iterate trying to fix it and they’ve been very good in my experience with replacements.

Happily the new one is fantastic as far as I can tell so far.
I saw one or two as well, but they seem to be disappearing even with "show dead" on?

> Attractive, fit, intelligent men

By and large these are results of choices people make, not accidents.

A guy with visible abs didn't just wake up one day and have abs. He put in the work. Same goes for attractive or intelligent.

Taking time to find clothes that fit, discovering a flattering hair style, and generally not being a slob can put an average man into the "attractive" group.

By intelligent, I mean "witty" or a good conversationalist. Wit/conversation are learned skills. Yeah, some people are better at it than others, but you can still learn.

Don't feel trapped on the outside. You can be excellent if you so choose.
The desktop Magic Keyboard is about right for me. Less travel and pretty quiet. The butterfly keyboards were actually pretty loud.
They failed because the testing process failed. Apple sells mass-market consumer devices: they don't set out to sell failing hardware.

How was your experience?
I don't think I've heard anyone use the word redundant to describe anything that was more complicated than an exact 1-1 replacement. The two-punch combo is a good analogy; I wouldn't call a punch that knocked someone out cold redundant if it came after a punch that simply gave them a nosebleed.
Not so silent, there's several comment threads that show up in every article about how they're the best thing ever. I disagree for multiple reasons, but that's tangental.
There seem to be some upside down priorities here. Many folks seem to be arguing that its an unacceptable form of censorship for a private platform to annotate content it allows others to post. Meanwhile, I'm seeing barely a mention of the fact that the President of the United States has threatened to use government power to shut down an entire sector of the economy devoted to communication. The latter is almost certainly a violation of the Constitution. The former, almost certainly not.
Complete objectivity is impossible. This is why Ayn Rand's Objectivism philosophy was so broken. It's not just that humans can't be completely objective -- any AI can't be either, and you can't write have a human write an algorithm that yields 100% objectivity. It can't be done. There is no short-cut. The arguments have to be had. Consensus/democracy/institutions is all we've got, and we have to and will make that work.

> The bigger issue is these platforms only get those free speech protections because they're platforms. The moment they start editing content like this, they become editors to a publishing platform, and they should be held liable for all that they've published.

No, this is totally incorrect.

I don't personally have AC in my home, but I definitely do turn the heat down/off when I'm away, yes. I'm not really sure what you're getting at.
Actually I remember reading an article mentioning that they use vibration data from accelerometters to slightly shift content on thescreen, thus preventing the screen from appearing blurry to the crew during the launch. Pretty clever. :)

But indeed, the launch is automated and for any the few important manual thing (basically just manual launch abort trigger) they have separate physical controls.
What actually happened? I have a really hard time imagining
Putting this dissenting opinion on HN will likely get you downvoted, but I for one appreciate it. There is a balancing act of profit vs development that us engineers to overlook.

However, some of your examples aren't great IMO. Theranos should have been ONLY R&D, as it was never a product that was ready to bring to market. Same with Magic Leap.

I think also due to Boeing's business of making tin cans move hundreds of miles of hour thousands of feet in the air, means the engineering department should be their primary focus as well, thus all the outrage at the company.
Yup, I've got my Tiddlywiki in a place where the portability makes me not itch to try this (sort of the opposite of local-first; a raspberry pi in the sky holds my Markdown files) but this seems like it will be something like an IDE for markdown notes, which is very, very cool.

I'm inclined to agree. I think you're up against some deeply rooted human behaviors of wanting to sift through and gather/select their food.

Since the first Taycan deliveries happened back in January, it's a well-known fact that the EPA's range is completely bogus: https://electrek.co/2020/02/10/porsche-taycan-tesla-model-s-...

When driving 75mph on a road trip, you can expect to get 209 miles out of a Taycan and 222 miles from a 2020 Tesla Model S Performance. Given that the Taycan charges at 270kW, that means you will complete a road trip significantly faster in a Taycan than you will in a Model S: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a30894056/porsche-tayca...
Incorrect. Evidence is evidence. Anyone can judge evidence for validity. You could look up the evidence right now and judge it yourself. It only carries legal implications if a court prosecutes, but that does not mean the evidence does not exist or that a crime did not occur if a court did not prosecute.
The British rule was more successful because it was governing at arms length. London never flexed like Beijing by actively disqualifying publicly elected legislators and meddling with its internal affairs, eroding individuals freedom and rights.

It helps if you think of Gatsby as part of the "Headless" architecture, which presupposes that your app/website is just a veneer on top of other 3rd party tools/SaaS.

So if you're an e-commerce business using Shopify, Contentful, and Algolia, then Gatsby is actually a very nice fit. You could do all of this in Next.js, but you'd be dealing with server-side proxying to the SaaS tools and all that goes with that (e.g. service downtime, adding 100ms+ latency to each request, caching etc.)

People in finance don’t really understand or care about engineering R&D and long term investment in engineering culture, possibly because the effects of these things haven’t been quantified scientifically. It’s simply another line item. They do acutely understand the effects of numbers on their stock compensation though.
Social media can't not have algorithms for limiting what you get to see, otherwise you'd be swamped with items on your timeline and you'd stop using them. Oh, I see what you're doing. Yes, they should get rid of the algorithms!
Shit, our terrible healthcare system's given me what'd probably qualify as clinical anxiety for longish periods several times in the last few years, and that's despite being well into the top 20% most economically-fortunate Americans, consistently having health insurance, and not having really serious or chronic medical problems in my immediate family.

You're right, I cited the wrong article. The summary does mention air travel only once, but it does mention the 80% reduction figure, which seems nearly incompatible with air travel if everyone is expected to live with yearly emissions of ~3-4 tons of CO2.

My first mac computer is the 2018 MBP which features the butterfly keyboard, it started failing after about 6 months of use. My previous laptop, a dell e6230 which runs Linux, feels almost as fast, especially for Docker stuff, has a fantastic keyboard and way better battery life. Can't see myself buying any Apple product after that.
I'd just ask you to read or listen to any of the things I linked here. They're all relatively long, and I'm not going to do a better job of summarizing them than the authors/presenters.

I mean, the gist is: The American economy is incredibly resilient, and it is showing during this. Yes it's true that jobless claims are increasing, but the expectation is that they will peak next week. While we won't be an overall growth year, the expectation is to close out the year at levels comparable to those in 2010.

In addition to that, the US is just incredibly resilient when compared to the rest of the world. The world still trades using our dollars, they still want to buy our bonds, they still want to invest in our companies. All of this stuff ends up benefiting the US job seeker, and the American family because it means that there are jobs, stability, and the ability to pass monetary policy that protects them in times of crisis.

If you want specific details, there is hours of content that I linked that will explain explicitly why. \\
