I was skeptical towards hooks when it was first introduced. I was hesitant to use it. Then, I used it for a few components in my projects. I realized how much simpler my code looked, and migrated completely to hooks. No regrets.
I built PWA for https://talksub.com
Please check it out on mobile as well as desktop.
I spent about one or two months optimizing for mobile.
There are still a few critical features missing from PWA.
1. Mobile Notification - probably the most important feature missing from PWA
2. Navigation / History - How history and navigation works are fundamentally different between mobile and web. For example, mobile app keeps independent history for each tab.
3. Pull to refresh - Not as critical, but people are used to this behavior.
Other devices features and native apis are also unavailable.
For basic apps, PWA is pretty good though.
I'm Joon, a creator of this map.
It's a realtime dashboard with a map tracking all confirmed, death, and recovered cases of Coronavirus with related news articles in the United States.
You can select a state or zoom in, and it will automatically filter the relevant news articles for the area.
We will add more features such as email subscription by state, community posts and comments, and support for Canada.
I am from South Korea. There were numerous reports from people on Facebook or other social media that Note 7 replacements were also having battery problems, but Samsung have been trying hard to control Korean newspapers to report them as false reports from "black consumers". It's ridiculous to see how they can manipulate media as they want. I'm glad that Samsung does not have such power outside South Korea.
People are afraid to share anything that talks bad about Samsung, because they believe it will affect them negatively in the future when searching for jobs or such.
It wouldn't even have been known to the public, if it happened only in Korea, because they have a complete control of the media in S Korea.
When it first happened it Korea, media tried to dismiss it as if it was a false report by black consumers who are trying to win some money by suing Samsung. I found it pretty funny because, in Korea, you never win against any big companies in the court. There are no scenarios where you can sue a company and win any money. Even if, you do end up winning, it won't be in $millions like in US, but will max $10000, which rarely happens at all. So no sane person will even try.
I am glad that it also happened in US, because Samsung does not have the same control in US as they do in Korea.
The only way for this to be properly investigated is to be done by US, not Korean government.
It was really ridiculous to see how all Korean media praised how great a company Samsung is when they announced a recall.
I see the whole fiasco to be deeply related to how Samsung is run and controlled by the infamous Lee family.
Note 7's battery is made by Samsung SDI, one of Samsung's subsidiaries, and I assume that SDI gets most of its revenues directly from Samsung Electronics. When you (SDI) have Samsung as your guaranteed customer, you don't really have to compete or try to survive.
Besides, Samsung always set their flagship release dates based on expected Apple's iPhone releases, always trying to ship to market few weeks before Apple.
When your release dates are set to your competitors' pace, not your own, you will certainly make mistakes like this.
That manager should be demoted for losing the best employee and obvious horrible management. If I were the manager, I would come in on that day and do the customer service.
those are extremely biased unemployment rate. It's been known that unemployment rate conducted by government is totally a bullshit with too many restrictions to be categorized as "unemployed".
There are many articles (written in Korean) that list those restrictions, for example:

Students in Korea study until midnight or later since middle school. I've done that before I moved to US. Most of my friends did it.
You do that for six years until you are eligible to take the nationwide exam that is held once a year.
Similar to SAT, but with many more subjects and more depth.
If you are sick or feeling nervous on that day, then good luck. Take it again next year or a year after.
It's very common that you end up taking the exam two or more times because you are not satisfied with your score, which means you have to study on your own after high school graduation for another year or more.
If you are a boy, you have to serve in a military for roughly two years. Most of students go to army during their college years, so they usually have 6 or more years of college.
When you are near graduation, start looking for jobs.
Not so easy. Unlike in the US, as a new grad, you can apply for jobs once a year for big companies like Samsung. It's a yearly thing just like the college entrance exam.
And, you have to take an exam and pass to even submit your resume.
Oh, popular companies share the same date for their exams, so you can only apply for one.
Make a choice before you apply. It's to lower the competition (or so that you cannot have a competing offer to drive up your salary).
On your resume, you have to put things like:
- your picture: they grade how you look. some people do plastic surgery for this.
- your age: you have to be fresh out of college. over 30? no chance.
- your family info (not sure if still required): what does your father do? how much does he make? where do you live? is it a rent or owned?
- list goes on.
Now if you are really lucky and you get into those big companies, then they will pay you $40k-$50k a year which is very high compared to small companies where $20-$30k is average.
But, now you have no life. There is no such thing as work life balance.
There's no equity compensation in Korea. You get only the salary and bonus.
Cost of living and housing price is very high (avg $400-500k in Seoul).
You need to slave away the next 30 years to get out of debt. Then, you must retire at age 60. (retirement age is set in stone and you basically get fired).
Now do you really want to give birth to your children who will probably end up living the same life as yours?
I think this somewhat explains the extremely low birth rate and very high suicidal rate.
Korean here. Korea is too competitive, and its system is so corrupt that younger people are feeling hopeless and committing suicide. For them, it's the last resort and the only way out of their misery. It's been many years since Korea has taken its place as no.1 in suicidal rate. It's currently the worst time for the younger generations with very high unemployment rate and very low wages ($5 minimum wage while average housing price in Seoul is hitting its record high around $500k).
Yet, what people with power and money are trying is to blame them for not having a "strong" and "positive" mindset.
I once watched a TV show where they gathered up people with failed suicide attempts. They end up saying "love yourself".
Instead of fixing obvious systematic problems, they always blame the poor people and tell them things like "money doesn't buy you a happiness." and "love is a cure to every problem".
It just makes me so angry.
EDIT: They also say things like "Be more appreciative that you were not born in North Korea!"
