Are you confusing screen readers with voice control software? Screen readers are most often used by people with vision impairments; with desktop operating systems, they use a keyboard not just for typing in form fields but to navigate and control all the websites and software on their device instead of a mouse or other device that operates a cursor.

Voice control software is used most often by people with limited use of their hands, verbal commands replace keyboard and cursor control inputs.

> Standard browser controls are all 100% accessible by default.

Unfortunately, this is not entirely true. For instance, `select` elements and their options don't reflow in most browsers. It is true that the native elements are much more accessible than most alternatives developers create.

If you're using that reasoning, owning horses is deeply immoral. They injure themselves to the point of having to be euthanized in stalls, on pasture, and in dry lots way more often than I think you realize.

I used to co-own a mustang with a couple friends. He was a spoiled trail horse, well-fed and well-loved. When the three of us weren't able to keep our horses together, he went with the friend who had the best resources, the most time to spend with him, and the most veterinary experience. A few years later, he kicked through a board fence and severed a tendon in his hind leg. He was euthanized . Not because she didn't care to pay for the surgery to repair the tendon, but because the surgery had a very high chance of failure and she felt it was more humane to let him go than to string him along for 6 months in pain and stuck in a stall before having to make that decision.

Let me just make this clear: horse racing is a cruel industry well above and beyond any other horse competition I'm aware of. Betting on any animal should be illegal. Any breeder/owner/trainer of any sport who sees consistent injuries in their animals of the types seen on the track should be in jail for animal cruelty. They start riding these horses at a year and a half old. The ones who make it far enough to die on a big-name track are some of the luckier ones. The rest run their few races or never race at all and get sent to auction. Some get bought from auction and are turned into hunter-jumpers or show jumpers. The rest get bought for pennies a pound and crammed onto trailers to Mexico where they're slaughtered in godawful conditions.

Screw thoroughbred racing and everyone involved in it. Screw any trainer who puts money and fame above their animals health.

But don't lump all horse competition in with thoroughbred racing. If you don't see the vast difference in the treatment of the animals between different sports, I'd say you're not acquainted enough with the subject to be commenting.

I hear you, that's why I said "most". But there's also a flipside where someone tries to tweak a language feature or implement a missing language feature with an inhouse macro. That macro goes on to be defunct but a major chunk of mission critical code is now glued too it. After all we can't expect languages to not fill in missing gaps in an opinionated way. The only way out is to wall off a code base for a month for a treacherous refactor.

I am pro have fun screw up and grow. But macros present a certain kind of danger a lot of other tools don't. If you are playing with them be careful of their scope is my only real warning.

As everything in engineering it comes down to trade offs. It looks "bad" and "unnatural" mostly because you're given screenshots and gifs at specific angles that make the blending effect the focus and thus more obvious, but during gameplay the overall effect is positive and you wouldn't notice:

That would most likely require an API gateway of sorts to handle the security procedures transparently. Build bare APIs and run them isolated, exposed by a layer that provides security services through composition.

Fantasy theories that ignore many of the core transportation facts, which include

very volatile costs of fuel (diesel is nosebleed higher than gasoline in California this year, a disaster for businesses and tradesmen)

Effective, efficient, fast refueling networks

Complexity of fleet equipment, speed to repair

Tires - an 18 wheeler gets through a lot of tires in its lifetime in service. EVs are very heavy unloaded

Fleet trucking is a brutal business where every penny counts and owner/operators are whipsawed by fuel prices, demand waxing a waining and endless politicla meddling.

Once we have nuclear, a credible supply grid and have overcome the battery capacity and fire issues EV will be viable to businesses. Until then it is the unrealistic slow motion disaster being forced through in California.

The other mistake I've seen with the "mobile" and "tablet" mindset is that "desktop" navs that rely on hover don't translate well when the "tablet" is desktop-esque in size.

In general I prefer to presume the user is always touch-based. At the very least, that's their mindset / exportation. Personally, I get annoyed with desktop experience that use hover but don't make it mindlessly obvious that you need to use hover (to get the info I need).

Ask HN: How to prep for System Design interviews?
Hi HN,

I am assuming that most Software Engineers don’t get hands on System Design work in their day-to-day job, my questions are:

1. How to prep for System Design Interviews, given that most resources out there are very superficial in their explanation of what technology to use, when to use it and why to use it?

2. Will becoming good at prepping for System Design interviews actually help in designing large scale systems better?

3. If not 2, then how do you become better at designing actual systems?

I already know that DDIA is a good resource but it does not help you design concrete systems.

Hardware products have a missing-middle problem when it comes to enclosures and packaging. For expensive, custom, one-off products, the costs are manageable and expectations around customization (printed logos, die-cut packaging inserts) are lower. For large scale productions (+10k) injection molded plastic or custom metal cases are relatively easy and cheap to produce, and the tooling cost of cardboard dies is easily spread over all those units. But for something you plan to sell 50-1000 of, minimum orders and tooling costs are a pretty large concern. As an example: packaging companies have minimum orders no lower than 1k-2k, and the die will cost you $500-$1000.

A few tricks I've picked up for dealing with being mid-scale:

1. Rubber stamps are cheap and a low-environmental-impact way to brand packaging. Stickers are cheap too, but less low-impact. If you live in a major city, there's probably a stamp maker near you with a 1 or 2 day turnaround.

2. Packaging inserts can be laser cut out of cardboard in small quantities, if you can find a hack space near you with a shared laser. You can do cardboard design using the sheet-metal tooling in fusion 360, but do the prototyping with scrap cardboard and an exacto knife - it's way faster than starting digitally.

3. Cardboard sourcing is harder than you'd think - you run into minimum order issues just like with buying custom boxes.

4. For enclosures, see my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36115141

I also really liked the idea, but some specialists have argued it would be hard to provide rigidity. Given the load that heavy trucks have to face, this sounds like a bigger problem for trucks than for cars.

I think we should focus on either:

- charging on the go if those trucks use highways for long-distance, maybe have self-driving trucks drive at night and charge on the way; or better:

- moving that cargo on train lines and using trucks with small batteries for the distance between the nearest train station and the final destination. That opens the possibility of using smaller trucks for many routes, which would really help with road safety, especially in dense areas. Trucks that can pull 15 tons or more are unsafe near children.

You don't lose freedom by switching fuel. Emphatically so when you didn't get a say in the old fuel either, and even more emphatically when the new one is cheaper overall than the old.
I wonder how many people from that batch are still in the company?

I remember the BluBoo X550 with a whopping 5300mAh battery and thinking that this is it - this is going be the product that will provide enough financing and investment for them to kick-off large scale production.

Unfortunately it was a flop because the device was so badly optimized that battery life wasn't as spectacular one would suspect going by capacity alone.

Good thing they found more profitable markets to tap into.

Most states won’t be banning diesel trucks any time soon because EVs are more expensive in most scenarios and they don’t want their citizens to be poorer. The same is true of most countries. I agree with the comment above. This will be solved when EV trucks are definitively cheaper. There are already limited use cases where this is true. Technology is the solution here, not draconian legislation.
Are you really arguing that we should have no boundries on progress for fear of a rogue asteroid destroying us all? Shouldn't we consider the risks of what we may accidentally break or purposely misuse along the way? Scientific knowledge comes with risks, both in how the tools can be used as well as errogant or misguided belief that we know enough to understand all meaningful implications of wielding said knowledge.

Even the concept of progress as a goal seems misguided and risky. We shouldn't assume something is better simply because it isn't what we had before. "Not worse than what we had before" is a great goal but one that requires effort and focus, it isn't a given law of the universe that all change is good simply because it's change.

That is an optimistic view, which I appreciate. The only issue I have is that I think we will need to mobilize as a culture to embrace it, in order for it to succeed.

I don't think it is as simple as replacing one explanation with another (like your door-to-door salesman example) because it is such an open-ended problem. I think it is more like completing the Enlightenment as conceived by Kant and others.

I think we could do it (i.e., philosophy classes beginning in elementary school, etc), but it would be tough to convince people to participate. It is hard, mind-bending, solitary work that is inherently alienating, which most people avoid.

Additionally, there is also the inherent contradiction in developing your own independent mind by order of the government or teachers, as well as a host of other paradoxes.

Maybe the best route is to try to make philosophy popular? Use social behavior for people to be attracted to it for the wrong reasons, but hope that a sizeable part of the population end up taking it seriously? And that sizeable chunk is enough to influence the group?

I have no idea, but I like your comment and hope there is a silver-lining that we become deeper and more thoughtful people.
If such a simple mitigation as adding captchas worked then it seems like the value is pretty marginal, plus it sounds like the limit is upstream.
What do you think?

For real? I am not against subsidicing art and culture, but I am against selective subsidicing. For example in germany there is a strong divide into "serious art" like opera and classical music that gets lots of money direct or indirectly - and trivial art, everyone else. Getting allmost nothing. So it boils down to taste and the favourite culture of the establishment. But there is so much other good music and performers besides the mainstream out there, who gets categorized into "entertainment" and have to struggle on their own.

So back on topic, I would be fine with taking money from opera to give it to internet archives. But of course, I rather would have more money for everyone involved in arts and culture.
The mathematical community is itself super human. Euler didn’t start from the ground up he leveraged peoples prior work.

Saying we can do something with cells isn’t convincing because we can already make arbitrary changes. I can email a fairly arbitrary DNA sequence and turn that into a viable organism. The existing cellular machinery is a tool to leverage just as other peoples work is a tool to leverage. There is plenty of work to be done, but there is no work in cellular biology that’s both physically possible and outside of the capability for groups of humans and their tools to do.

Decades ago I went to a police auction one time where they had a number of scales and balances that had been confiscated from illegitimate dealers of contraband when they were raided & busted.

Whenever there is of more of an item than there might be buyers, the best deals can be more likely.

I wanted one or more for my employer's chem lab. I was a legitimate operator recognized by first responders.

Previewing the merchandise, there was one with a gram or two of loose cannabis in the carrying case.

A number of people noticed this.

The cops didn't clean it out or do anything, they just said depending on who buys it they'll just confiscate it again in the future.

I got a couple of the lab-grade models and just left the evidence stickers on them when we put them to use.

Another time there were lots of T-tops from the popular Trans-Ams and Corvettes of the time which were commonly stolen so drivers often needed cheaper replacements from used parts dealers.

These buyers got great deals at the auction since nobody else knew exactly which cars they would fit, and the cops fully realized these were the same dealers having them stolen-to-order when a victim came in wanting one they didn't have in stock. Everybody was making money except the victims whose losses were exacerbated by the system.

How is it an achievement of Government while this was done by private companies like Reliance at the cost of public owned BSNL? Government actually let the loss of public tax payers money by giving favourable treatment to private companies.

Modi and his fans always talk about low prices of internet in India, while its a failure of government to control Reliance where Reliance is using money raised from state bank to give dirt cheap internet connection to public and killing the competition. They have already started raising the prices now that several competitors are gone. [1]

Reliance raises money from public banks, Reliance uses that money to get tower network of public owned BSNL, Reliance gets priority over BSNL to launch 4G, Reliance is in profit while BSNL is in loss, Government employee phone connections are transferred from BSNL to private entity Reliance.

You only have to have enough of the market ban them to cause a death spiral where manufactures won’t build new fossil vehicles. This locks in the policy goal, it forces the supply chain to reconfigure.

My point was more that Heisenberg uncertainty doesn't simply go away because of the size of the system, it is explicitly not an element of classical physics. If you apply the equations of QM to a system of any size, you'll see compounding uncertainty, not an attenuation.

The fact that classical objects have deterministic trajectories is not a consequence of statistics + Heisenberg uncertainty, it is explicitly in contradiction to Heisenberg uncertainty, requiring an extra element to be added to the theory (the Born rule).
