As others have stated, prettier is a formatted not a linter. I do however agree that Standard is a weird choice and in my experience is far from an actual “standard”. IMO the Airbnb style is excellent and would have been a better choice here. It’s also available as an ESlint plugin. Hopefully something like this can be configured on the GH Action in the future, allowing for a choice between available presets.

I didn't get that sense from the post. I took that they were advocating for basic HTML/JS when appropriate. A reminder that it's still a valid way of doing things.

If you're building an app, yeah use React.

If you want to put some contact info on the internet, there's no reason it can't be vanilla HTML.

Or at least that's how I read it.

Assuming you add video, 99% of the web is just text,images,links,forms, and video. None of these things even require Javascript.

This is precisely why activists organize groups of people: so that they may act together and stand a chance of effecting change. Historically, with large enough organization, it has worked pretty well at times.
Yes, but it seems that people want to use this to take potshots at one camp, while sitting in another camp that is just as guilty.
Ironically, I'm super excited about this because I run a Mac. I didn't feel like changing anything in the bootloader using ReIT so I use an old laptop for Linux stuff. Mac + Bootcamp Windows + WSL2 + eGPU sounds like my dream machine.
I'm not sure if you're saying something like "it's just being used as an arrow symbol", as some others are, but the White House claims that it is an antifa symbol, which pretty much throws that idea out the window. The argument then is what it was really intended to symbolize, since we already know it was chosen to symbolize something besides a pointer.
Known for its abuse of human rights? The only thing I could find was that male homosexuality is illegal there. You may regard that as abuse of a particular human right, but to me, it's considerably less than it sounded like you meant.
I'll offer up another reason, which I feel is a little more accurate:

* Your web app requires heavily interactive bits, such as smart forms, smart tables, previews, content editing, etc. To deliver such functionality in a maintainable way, you use a framework. (As a side note, yes it is possible to deliver this functionality in vanilla JS, but to make it maintainable one must essentially build an ad hoc framework.) Because most frameworks push users towards a SPA, you end up following the path of least resistance and developing a SPA.

No, your premise is wrong, all major browsers have committed to removing third-party cookies, or have already done so. And after third-party cookies, your IP address is the next-easiest way to track you across sites.

that Facebook cookie works regardless of what your IP address is

Firefox has been blocking third-party cookies by known trackers, including Facebook, since last year [1]. Safari started blocking all third-party cookies (not just known trackers) in March [2], and Chrome committed in January to work towards removing third-party cookies [3].

And of course, all major browsers have provided the option to block third-party cookies since before IE6. I use this option, it rarely breaks things, and it's only getting rarer—and I don't use a VPN, so this would make me measurably harder to track across sites.

I'm not qualified to analyze the technical details but I have some more practical grievances with VPNs. I paid for ExpressVPN for 1yr on going and found it disappointing despite being advertised as the expensive but good option.

First, geo blocking often catches it or provider has moved to other means to verify address. I don't use Netflix but for certain streaming sites in Japan that I use and BBC express does nothing.

Second, it doesn't get pass GFW whereas shadowsocks based solution does.

Overall it seems the only benefits are getting better speed sometimes and theoretical privacy benefits.
> ISPs can also observer your DNS lookups to Google’s or anyone else’s public DNS servers.

This was exactly why I left my previous position.

Place was great to work, brilliant team, laid back culture. But refusing to give me an annual raise, on top of paying me below market value (and below my peers) for my experience and skill set was precisely what triggered my departure a month later for a nearly 90% raise. Sacrificed other things, but at the end of the day, "thank you's", "good jobs", and a kegerator doesn't feed my family.

Money isn't everything, but competitively compensating engineers is still a big factor for retention imo.
Thats what the Hey! email app tried to do and they got denied by App Review saying users must be able to use the app without paying if there is no payment option in the app.
I'm in a mid-Atlantic state, the shortages (at all the major grocery stores) stopped after the first several weeks post initial hoarding rush. That's about two months ago now. The grocery stores here are stocked normally, you'd never know a pandemic were going on.
Safari on iOs is a bit special. Some features are missing compared to the Mac version. You also need quite a few safari ios specific code if you want to build a web app. But this is a bit broken since Apple wants you to publish to the appstore and not release web apps anymore.

You also need a Mac to debug safari on iOs. I hate Safari.
Is there a better source for this?

A screenshot and an indignation comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23564731) are poor initial conditions for a thread, but this thread seems to be doing well despite that, so I don't think we need to demote this submission, but it would be better to find an article to change the URL to.

You're going to have to show listings. Last time, people were posting spam postings they found on Craigslist. If you want an apartment - you can find 1-bedroom "luxury" apartments (also known as normal apartments outside the bay area) for about $3300-4000/month. Even at $7000/month income that leaves "thousands" left over but that is a fucked ratio of expenses. You shouldn't be spending close to 50% of your take home on RENT. You will never be able to retire and live the same lifestyle.

If you want a house, you're not finding a nice house (3+ bedrooms, central air, etc.) and in a nice neighborhood (San Carlos, Hillsborough, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Menlo Park, etc.) for $4000-5000. I'd love to see the listings... I don't even bother with SF because the prices are even more outlandish for nice neighborhoods.

Familiar with the city and actually paying rent here are different. I've had coworkers who lived with their parents who are wildly out of tune with how much it costs to rent a place. I don't know how your friend affords a high rise on $140k/yr - maybe you should ask what their rent is and if they're sharing it with someone.

You can't buy a house now with $250k/yr in inner sunset. Go to Zillow and find me a nice house you can afford on $250k/yr and won't be house poor in the end with. Do it - prove me wrong.
If I get Covid19 I plan to request that treatment. I'll doctor shop if need be. OTOH I think I already had it back in early March, but nobody really wants to test for it.
Amazon’s Enforcement Failures Leave Open a Back Door to Banned Goods
The author seems to suggest that the maintenance of the road 30 years from now will cost as much as the current major reconstruction. I expect the maintenance of a 30 year old road is significantly less. I’d determine the bond required to provide the equivalent maintenance over 30 years, levy a one time charge against the individual properties (as a lien against the property value of needed), equal to the total costs minus the expected post 30 year maintenance costs. Then issue a bond for the expected 30 year maintenance costs. Eventually the properties will pay off the lien, and have a predictable yearly bond. Propose that to all the impacted property owners, let them vote on it, and go with a majority rule. If the property owners expect their property values to increase more than the lien, they should vote for it, if not, it’s an inefficient use of resources and they should vote against it.
Presumably the easiest strategy is not pirating movies or not watching them on machines that also have access to important resources. For example watching on a machine in your living room that only does games/music/videos seems reasonable.

I cant fucking stand this type of shit anymore. No critical thinking, just attach some initial opinion about something based on how its been politicized and never think about it again. It's either Trump is God is said ots good so it's good, or Trump is the devil and said it's bad so its bad. Then just dismiss any sort potential evidence to contrary as propaganda / conspiracy / etc.

Has anyone done a high-quality analysis on the actual cost of implementing ADA compliance, both in public and private contexts? There are going to be a lot of social and opportunity costs that are hard to capture (e.g. the social losses associated with fewer swimming pools due to high ADA-related costs), but even the raw construction costs would be interesting.
I'm not sure how it's exponential, if you look at the graph for the current # of cases [0], then you can see it's more or less flat (and the new case %-age has been around 2-3%), between deaths and (most) people recovering, the number of active cases must at least flat and most likely getting smaller?

>if there had been efficacy

there have been efficacy all along against lupus/etc. Yet ephemeral unproven chance of efficacy against coronavirus was chosen over well known benefit for the already suffering people. That looks extremely illogical and kind of cruel to me. Not surprising though given that it isn't logic nor compassion that drives the government actions these days.

How did Zoom afford their service in their early days?
I am working with a streaming service, and digging into pricing. I can't find anything on Zoom's unit economics. I'm especially interested in what they did in their early days, given that I'm seeing unit economics that just don't work out.

Given some estimations:

Costs
Data Transfer $0.09 per gigabyte
Transcoding $5 per stream per hour
Hosting $0.30 per user per stream
Data Transfer 3 gigabytes per user per hour

They would have had to take a serious bath. With just 30 minute cap, with 100 concurrent users per stream, that comes out to $46 per stream. That's well above their pro charging cost, and if a host does several streams a month, it doesn't even come close to making sense.

Would appreciate any insight!
Rather ironic that people pay for VPN services to access content that they won't pay for.

Just don't bother with Big Media content and they won't need a VPN...

There's plenty to do in life other than torrenting the latest HBO series.
Useless for what?
That HCQ is useless for severe cases where patient require artificial ventilation is nothing new, it has been highlighted by scientific HCQ proponents from the beginning (eg. see Pr Raoult studies, Spain prophylaxis trial for medical staff, ...).

Severe cases are not overwhelmed by the virus but by their own immune system response... in fact there is a lower viral load during the lethal phase of the disease.

Where HCQ might be useful is for prophylaxis or in early phase of the disease to quickly reduce viral load (therefore infectivity). In this setting, plenty studies are still ongoing and positive results are visible in multiple afaik.

I don't see how it would help the DOJ do anything against 47 U.S.C. 230. There's nothing there that stops Facebook from enforcing a code of conduct.

A public website is allowed to be biased without losing any protections under that code. There is no distinction between publisher and platform. Hell, you could be a newspaper website with a comment section, and you'd still be legally protected from liability for what users posted.

I strongly encourage people to actually read the law. Its not difficult to understand.

“While the United States represents about 4.4 percent of the world's population, it houses around 22 percent of the world's prisoners.”

The movement begins in the United States, but it is ultimately a global humanitarian concern.

Restorative justice ultimately is a paradigm shift in the way we relate to each other as human beings.

To realize such a vision, we start where we are, and put one foot in front the other.

There'll need massive (and highly secure) parking structures in Victorville to support this and still face the problem of transporting its primary consumers from South Pasadena, Torrance, San Gabriel Valley, Little Saigon and Irvine to Victorville (involves navigating several extremely heavy traffic interchanges, though HOV bus lanes could help). For most others who love the experience of driving once they make it out of the urban sprawl into Victorville (especially with families), it is almost unimaginable that they would then park and ride the train as it will only save them an hour or so, cost a ton of money and leave them stranded with mass transit on the other end. East Coast people always screw up in the West like this --the last time was spending billions on building tall-skinny skyscrapers along the Vegas Strip that are a huge risk in a quake (never going to be allowed again --and they made them tear one down!)

Sure, that's bad. There's no point spending money chasing existing stock of the drug within the country, if it's useful it will all get used anyway.

But a $100M or whatever check to ramp up production, or to buy wholesale stock from elsewhere, that would have been worth writing on day 1. Even on extremely flimsy evidence, given the huge daily costs of this thing. Run the careful trials at the same time as building a huge factory which you probably won't need.
> I hear people ask "Why weren't we ready for Covid?". Then in the next breath ask "Why are we stockpiling a drug that doesn't work for Covid?".

It doesn't work that way.

I tried to do the exact same thing and had to stop considering DNT as it would essentially collect Chrome only back then. Good thing they have reverted this I guess. DNT makes a lot of sense as a concept still.
> Author should be thankful to not need the ADA compliance.

It frustrates me how people use this line to shame anyone who questions the costs of ADA compliance.

There’s a legitimate discussion as to whether it would be socially optimal for that money to be allocated elsewhere. $1.5M could go a long way towards education, community centers, internet infrastructure, or any other public project - and maybe it would go farther than improving wheelchair access on 0.32 miles of sidewalk in a low traffic residential area.
Every time the VPN service industry is discussed on HN there is a barrage of comments that use keywords like “honeypot”, “snake oil”, and “shady”. I’m not denying that the industry has problems, but in this thread I’d like to focus on how we can improve it.

Please tell me - What makes a VPN provider trustworthy, and how do you _know_?

Personally I believe a trustworthy provider is _characterized_ by consistent actions that show transparency, honesty, and conscientiousness. Nevertheless, such consistent action doesn’t actually prove trustworthiness.

A good VPN honeypot, or reseller of your network traffic, is publicly indistinguishable from a trustworthy one. So what can the users do? What tools, technology, process, or ecosystem do they need to tell honest and dishonest apart? What do we need to build?

We all recognize that VPN providers are in a great position of power over their users. How do we tilt the scales in the users’ favor? What are _strong_ signals of trustworthiness?

When people are wearing swastikas on their arm and giving Hitler salutes, I'ma call them a literal nazi regardless of it no longer being 1945.

I'm also not really concerned what 'positives' their agenda might include, given the violence that is explicitly part of the ideology they are identifying with.

Even for those who aren't literally wearing symbols of the Nazi party, white supremacy isn't a non-violent ideology. It fundamentally seeks to supress, remove, or otherwise contain non-whites. Putting non-whites in camps is still violent. Expelling them from the country they were born into and lived in their entire lives is still violent. Etc. And if there's a "nice" white supremacist, who is "well, I think whites are better, but you know, live and let live, right?" I'm pretty sure they're not out marching.
Guessing he means when the code shared does important things like validation.

No affiliation with the service. Just a happy user. Great UI. 2FA implementation with TOTP, app passwords and backup codes. Custom domains support SPF and DKIM.

Not my problem. If this crap gets thrown out they will have to change strategy. The cost of snaring unwilling users in legal agreements should be high.
Less than 10 km from Utrecht, NL is a town called Amersfoort where there was an SS concentration camp in WW2. As far as I know it was the only such camp outside of the boundaries of the Third Reich.
