In my experience, TalkBack works great. It is especially nice that in concert with Chromium's aria implementation, it also works quite well. The menace has been VoiceOver, which is inconsistent. In web views, VoiceOver segments incorrectly on elements and will regularly ignore aria labels. Not sure how well JAWS works, NVDA seems to work well enough, and I've admittedly not tried Orca with a web browser.

Though honestly, I think that we should give up on trying to present exactly the same interface structure to people who are completely blind. An application design which works well for sighted people can easily seem incredibly convoluted when described by your screen reader. I've not had time to build out a framework for this, but I think it would not be hard to start delivering something better. The idea being that you would provide a structural description of interactions and content, and the framework would present this through whatever means is available on the platform. This way, in combination with platform detection, it will always present something functioning.
But the wages of Americans with American parents has risen, not fallen. Wages for Americans with American parents in the lowest quintile of income have risen the most - that seems like exactly the opposite of what your theory predicts!

Since immigrants are consumers as well as producers, it's unclear that they drive down wages. Similarly it's unclear that Americans having children drives wages down.

I'm not sure what "fair" means in your comment, or why you only consider "fair to the American working class" rather than "fair to humans". Could you clarify?
Sounds damn near impossible. I'll wager a peanut butter sandwich has more than that, not accounting for jelly.
I think the only way to oppose this tidal wave of bullying and shaming and witch hunting is to employ all of the same tactics the cry-bullies employ. People and organizations cave to these bullies because, in their cost-benefit calculations, they see little or no downside to caving, and possible upside. In order to stop this, it has to made costly to cave to them. If everyone who thinks it was ridiculous and cowardly for Nodevember to uninvite Crockford were to make it known that they would boycott Nodevember and their corporate sponsors in the future, they might see things differently.

Also, people who routinely seek to destroy the reputations and careers of people who don't speak and behave according to their strict standard should run the risk of having their own careers and reputations destroyed in response. This form of sweet justice happens once in a while, but not nearly enough.
I would recommend you to research this a bit more, if you decide to have a children. Problem are not 'strict laws', but the way there are applied. One single accusation can remove your children, you have no right to even talk to a lawyer and maybe in 6 years you will get some sort of appeal.

After reading your first quote, the punishment for this particular crime might appear to be too harsh. But, if you look into it, you will find out that: "Donnie Gaddis has previously been charged with trafficking in controlled substances and heroin, theft, breaking and entering, theft from an elderly person or disabled adult, domestic violence, shoplifting, and unauthorized use of property."

And new trade deals were entered into with many of those with the EU as a party.

Now they are EU trading partners, interested in remaining such, and to the extent UK agreements would collide with their EU agreements they are not prone to giving up any advantages they might have for the sake of dealing with their old oppressors.
Untangle has captive portal functionality;
It's a linux based OS with firewall, vpn, and a bunch of other stuff.
you need hardware with 2 NICs.

We run it for a small busniess off of a refurbished desktop and it works fine for roughly 250 connected users at any given time.

Here's a link to the home page: https://www.untangle.com/
And to the captive portal section of the wiki:

Alternatively you could get a router compatible with OpenWRT or Tomato firmware and set up a captive portal on the router itself.
Having been "forced" out of sugar by my own body, I can attest sugar is borderline a drug and almost all (if not simply all) processed food is coated with sugar (or fat and salt) to make them more appealing than necessary. Now out of disease I can also attest how easy it is to go back to unhealthy diets and lifestyles.

Governments should tax this and give subventions to those who wants to reach a more active healthy lifestyle.

David Nutt has spoken widely and very entertainingly about drugs and their relative harms. This is an excellent lecture he has done a number of places on politics and drug policy:

Nutt also founded the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs:

This is a very good source for accurate information about drug risks and harm reduction.
Keep in mind that at least in Norway it is common that unions do collective bargaining. Never mind that there is no legally mandated minimum salary.

Completely unrelated to the content, but the purple link text completely throws me off. The blue hover text just funny with the purple.
Reduces gender discrimination; reduces race discrimination; reduces income inequality; allows employees to make sure they are being paid fairly for their skills; reduces tax evasion; increases trust in the system.

No it didn't.
Unfortunately this all started with the decision that it was okay to ostracize some people for their unrelated political views. It's a little late to say "wait, wait, I just meant those guys!" now that you've given this unstoppable superweapon to every grasping, sociopathic political activist in the industry.

I have no doubt that you're in the majority; stereotypes very often exist for reasons of statistical predictive power. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't recognize and push back against the stereotypes, for the sake of those who aren't (or even more importantly don't want to be) part of that majority.
Yes, how devious. Reporting potential crimes
If we're relying on all critical thinking skills to come as an unstated side effect of teaching math and elementary science that is sometimes taught alongside creationism then the results are obviously going to be watery.

If on the other hand students were taught just a few formal fallacies and led to analyze just a few arguments and just touched on formal logic while in high school, the nation would be transformed (but I imagine the flyover states would yell bloody murder)
looks interesting, does it support the transferring of pdf/epub files from iBook?
I've done ABX tests multiple times, and the vast majority of the time AAC at 200+kbps was indistinguishable from the source (CD WAV), and even 128kbps was fine for a lot of tracks. That said, one or two tracks tripped up the encoder and could reliably be distinguished even at 320kbps (IIRC 20 trials with 100% success rate). Not enough that I'd notice in casual listening, but the difference was audible.

You also need to use a decent encoder - I compressed a video using Handbrake with a 256kbps AAC audio track a few months ago (faac/Windows), and noticed immediately that the audio was bad (I initially assumed the source was bad, but the FLAC track in the source sounded fine). Replaced it with a 192kbps AAC track using Quicktime/OSX and the quality was significantly better.
No, people glance up high to look at a color, and that's about it.

And this sign is above even the traffic lights. Even someone glancing at the colors would not see this.

What they should do is lower the sign to the height of the bridge - so people hit the sign (or something dangling from it).

But that would require government admitting that people hitting the bridge is their fault, and not stupid drivers.
I have quite a few blind readers to my website at http://www.confessionsoftheprofessions.com. I'm not sure if they came before or after I made the decision when starting the website to write out every single infographic in detail with a text-friendly version. It takes me an extra 10-20 minutes, depending on the length of the infographic, when I'm processing my articles, but it has its advantages for both readers and SEO.

It was actually unintentional when I started doing it and I had only done it with search engines in mind, because they can't read infographics, and I wanted them to be able to categorize the article better. Turns out, there are hundreds to thousands of people who also can't read infographics.

The side effect was that it began attracting a good amount of people who just need everything written out for good reason. Not just the blind, but I have gotten emails from non-blind people who are autistic, dyslexic, or just have trouble reading who use e-readers both on computer and mobile devices thanking me for doing it.

Highly recommended for everyone to start taking the handicapped into mind when it comes to the Internet. EVERYONE is using the Internet. Handicapped, blind.. they aren't just sitting there twittling their thumbs. They are searching the Internet!
This concept should be extended to adults and should include starches and not just sugar.

A few years back I dropped to <100g of carbs per day (excluding fibre) and went from 70kg to 61kg and have stayed that way for years.

All the research shows cholesterol and fat has nothing to do with heart disease. The leading factor in heart disease is inflammation, and excess sugar damages the arteries causing inflammation. Cholesterol build up is a result of your body constantly trying to repair the damage caused by excess sugar.
What is it now? I'm guessing it's not on the web, which would be vastly more public than in printed form?
No carefully calibrated Code of Conduct would have avoided this. The Soviet Union had a pretty liberal constitution, too; didn't help all those folks who were sent to the gulags.

Rules are worth precisely as much as the people who are interpreting and executing them. In the Nodevember case, we already know what sort of people those are.
I have seen this too. I have a theory about it.

Most organizations only recognize negative intercessions as praiseworthy, and categorize positive intercession as "business as usual" to be expected, even if sometimes the positive intercession is much harder.

"No!" moments are much valued in corporate culture these days.

People think this promotes the propagation of critical thinking across an organization. Perhaps ironically, the opposite is true. By tuning everyone to say, "No!" and rewarding them as such, it actually limits the impact of the actual important "No!" moments because everyone is competing for these accolades.

Most corporate culture does not reward people for following orders or improving upon someone else's idea. It's a legacy of the strict hierarchy all our organizations descend from (or a consequence of the apathy that more modern "matrixed" organizations breeds in its mid-grade baseline employees, who are taught not to overly invest in a given project).
Last time I tried it I got a couple of hundred kByte/s. Not very fast, but doable. Wouldn't transfer dvd iso' with it ;-)

I'd argue that the Japanese corporations don't care what form of Brexit is followed, so long as it doesn't hurt their bottom line. Mitigation against potential losses could come in the form of tax breaks or other benefits negotiated with the British government.

So how exactly would they find out how you earn that money? And why would they have the right to terminate you if it's not in the original contract?
It used to be that each year the reported income and paid tax was printed and placed in a public location (local post office etc). Then some braniac thought they could save some money by just putting it all online. End result was that scrapers were set up etc.
I don't understand this either. We've had the ability to transfer single files over a local network basically forever with netcat http://jvns.ca/blog/2013/10/01/day-2-netcat-fun/. This just uses TCP and is really really simple. I use it all the time if I need to transfer a video or something.

the problem with this (even though the basic capabilities are there!!!) is that netcat isn't super user-friendly so people don't use it. And it's not possible to do easily on a mobile device.

So why hasn't someone built a widely-used user-friendly application that lets you send files over local networks using TCP? I don't know. I don't think it's because it's too technically challenging though.
> But the wages of Americans with American parents has risen, not fallen. Wages for Americans with American parents in the lowest quintile of income have risen the most - that seems like exactly the opposite of what your theory predicts!

Are you certain that this applies to Americans that don't have a college education? That didn't graduate from high school? Those who would suffer most economically from uneducated immigrants?

And one must average in those who are unemployed (eg, 0 wages).

Don't look at averages, look at distributions.

Apple and possibly, ironically enough, especially Microsoft both seems to be positioned to score here (create great solution, release specs, encourage adoption, be a hero).

Unfortunately I don't think they will. After Apple weaseled out of open sourcing Facetime and with Microsoft running their own cloud I won't bet much on it.
I am not a lawyer.

I suspect that the state constitutional mandate is to enact laws in those situations and a law absent a determination by the government that such conditions obtain would exceed the government's state constitutional mandate.

I might be wrong, though.
That makes some sense, yes. But so far I didn't see any stores which sell only FLACs.
This is what I deal with at my current position. There's a lead engineer who is working in a domain he has no knowledge of. The system being built, while having a somewhat sound, if not outdated, conceptual foundation, has not produced gainful/tangible results for almost three years. I told my manager that I strongly believed the system would never work, or be usable in production even if it "looked like" it worked. My input was ignored despite my demonstrated knowledge of the domain.

We had that conversation a year ago, and the system still doesn't do anything useful. The team morale is pretty low. Three levels of management are updated weekly on this project, but none of them seem to think anything is wrong. Because I don't have "lead" in front of my title, it seems my input isn't worth anything.

Anyway, it was nice to vent.

Also, I'm looking for another job. Any companies out there want a critical thinker who isn't afraid to deliver honest feedback? :)
It does better than Bitcoin (taxes can be collected) but it looks like it could still be used for money laundering? The whole point is to make it impossible to find out who paid for what document, so money can be legally collected in one place without disclosing where it came from, beyond that it was sent through Taler.
"Well, there might be something else bad he did!" is a mighty thin reed to balance your argument on.
"Government" is the term we use to describe a type of structure that "people" form. This type of structure usually ends up doing these sort of things.

"History will repeat itself" isn't very useful unless the aim is to soothe oneself into giving up hope.

Not parent, but I've usually been quoted that 5% of the population is homosexual and that this number is even throughout cultures, though in some cultures it is suppressed, meaning much fewer are "active" homosexuals.

It is statement that I've heard several times in academia, but am still a bit puzzled at how it was reached.

Knock it off.
I think part of the problems is people don't realize how much sugar is in non sweet food. Cheaper spaghetti sauce often has hi fructose corn syrup but one might never guess it.

I have starting reading the label of any packaged food more frequently and have been surprised how much sugar is lurking in many non obvious items.
It depends what your needs are. I only even listen to my collection of music from my NAS via (W)LAN connected devices, so maintaining a version more suited to mobile devices isn't necessary or useful to me.

25g is quite a lot actually when we are talking about "added" sugar. I did a rough estimate of how much my son eats/drinks per day and it's not more than 15g. Maybe it's harder to stay under in USA though.

It's exciting to think about how tech is unlocking accessibility barriers. Huge :+1: to Apple for innovating in the accessibility space.
It disappoints me to see how many folks on Hacker News have responded to this incident by condemning the entire concept of standards of conduct and the idea that the developer community should take the goal of inclusivity and sensitivity seriously. There is no question that our community too often can feel hostile to those who aren't white hetero men, and that is a real problem.

On the other hand, there is no question that advocates for inclusivity are sometimes overzealous and careless, and no doubt, some people have even exploited the issue in bad faith for their own aims. These mistakes confuse and alienate would-be allies in the community. While no doubt well-intentioned, Nodevember has hurt the cause.

My plea to those who are tempted to dismiss the whole project of inclusivity in response to this incident is this:

The program needs debugging, but that doesn't mean the program is unworkable or the goals are undesirable. Perhaps we forgot a semicolon somewhere, or maybe we need to do a complete rewrite. But creating a community that is comfortable for everyone is an inherently valuable goal. And it doesn't need to be uncomfortable for cisgendered hetero white men, either. Please don't abandon this goal. Instead, let's engage in a constructive dialogue to figure out how to do better.

Can you specify what SO MUCH HORROR amounts to in the arduino community?

From reviewing these posts, it seems like EE spend most of their day frustrated trying to get the device to simply boot or do the simple thing. If there's a tool for beginners that snaps together and avoids these headaches, that seems valuable in itself, almost anti-HORROR.
Yes, AirMount integrates with the native iOS Photos app for accessing photos and videos directly from the Mac’s Finder. It supports all file types through a built-in “Drive” where you can store PDFs, documents, email attachments and documents from the Mac that you want to carry in your phone, without sending anything to the cloud. From the Drive, you can preview those PDFs and files, and share via other apps. I love that I can just drag and drop stuff between my devices and it feels very natural, personal and quick.

> but your tooling reliably makes it easy to get them, build them, and upgrade them, is that hell?

Dependencies are never free. If you have a bunch of dependencies and not have too much resources it's still hell.
Managing dependencies is not hard because of the tooling. It's hard because a dependency upgrade could cause pain, or the current version is buggy but the fix inside the upgrade works, but there will be another bug and so on.
And yet here you were, days later, again, still replying.

And still with no evidence. Because you don't have any.
