It's the same justification for most regulations. It's the benefit of having high-quality goods produced vs the cost of having fewer goods produced.

You could argue that a car with no seatbelts is better than no car at all, but as a society we've decided that seatbelts are needed or else the car cannot be driven. This incentivizes car producers to produce cars with seatbelts, even though cars get slightly more expensive and slightly fewer cars may be sold.

If someone builds a car with no seatbelts, upon being told by a court that the car needs seatbelts, they may even choose to junk the car rather than pay to install the legally required seatbelts. Their choice.

The same principle applies here.

Of course, this case might be different for two reasons. First, the videos have already been produced, so we see the direct harm of the regulation (often the harm is invisible). Second, the trade-off here between higher-quality goods vs more goods might have a different balance in this situation than others.
Yes, the court rejected automatic captioning as too inaccurate.

Yes, it can be but sales tax is confusing in the US due to city tax, local tax (MTA in NYC, for example), county tax, state tax, etc. They are always changing too, amounts and types of items taxed. Your Big Mac costs 100s of different prices across the country. So its often easier and cheaper to just advertise the pre-tax amount (especially in national ads) and program the register to handle tax.

But you are right, it is also preferred to hide some of the costs. But, sometimes you get a place that includes taxes on the price. Very refreshing.
Change the law such that removing/ceasing/etc doesn't cure the breach of the ADA. That way Berkley has to provide closed captioned videos even if they take them down. That would remove any incentive to take them down.

You'd probably have to include some exceptions for when the expense is too great (but I'm fairly sure the ADA only requires accommodations that are reasonable).
I have services that do not fit on one server and still I don't need AWS. Distributing load/dividing services on x-xx servers is not rocket science, especially with tools we have available at the moment.
Either the videos are valuable, or they're not. They can't simultaneously not be worth the salary of one middle manager for one year and be such an important public resource that they require exceptions to the ADA.

Or rather they can to you, but for me, holding to a standard created to protect minorities is more important than that, even if in some cases it prevents majorities from not having everything they want.
Foucault is not Derrida and his writing is crisp and clear and contains examples and research that empirically support his observations (in sense of empirical support one often finds in the social sciences and history). He dominates web searches for 'Foucault' quite meritoriously as Discipline and Punish is far more relevant today than 19th century work on the speed of light -- which unless I've missed the removal of the photon from current scientific explanations did not nail the coffin lid on corpuscular models of light despite the claims of the Wikipedia. I won't make a similar claim regarding the reasons a google for "foucault's pendulum" turns up more related to an Italian than a French...though personally I think Eco's work is more interesting and entertaining and informative.

They weren't ordered to remove it, they were ordered to caption it if it's provided at all. They decided it's not worth it to provide it to everyone for free if they have to caption all their videos, so they are making it available to students only (presumably because they have compliant services available to students like interpreters for people going to the class in person).

I'm sure that after the first 100 burglaries it became evident to him that it wasn't possible to live/survive without help from other human beings.

In that case I'm wondering why not take the more legal approach of resupplying at a local church / shelter from time to time rather than continue stealing.

More than 1000 burglaries over 27 years is still a frequency of nearly 1/week. Stealing is the hacking equivalent of breaking someone's fingers to tell you the password, or getting lucky and finding their sticky note under the desk.
Per the link, private colleges are required to provide hearing support, and have been sued for not doing so, but they operate under somewhat less stringent restrictions. (Specifically, it looks like they're only required to accommodate their own students, and so wouldn't be targetable for making content freely available if no one internal pressed the matter?) And certainly, they aren't running hundred million dollar deficits like Berkeley currently is.

The deaf are already at a measurable disadvantage. They're deaf. We should take steps to mitigate that. We should make their lives easier in whatever ways are practical. This is obviously not one of them.

We can't make being deaf the same as not being deaf. Disabled people will always be at some disadvantage to their abled counterparts. All we can do is make reasonable compromises. And it should be utterly obvious to everyone involved that this is not a reasonable compromise.

Worth noting this Socratic review of Sir Penrose's theory of quantum minds is by Dr Hans Moravec, an important roboticist and AI theorist, widely known for Moravec's Paradox :

"it is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility."[1]

which began the shift in paradigms exemplified by the behaviour based & embodied robotics movements.

There are three cases in history where civilizations left written scripts that were lost to history and have subsequently been decoded (Mayan script, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Sumerian cuneiform). In the intervening period, archaeologists have attempted to reconstruct history without knowledge of what the scripts meant, which means we can use those scripts as a means of checking how good the archaeological reconstructions were.

In the case of the Maya (the only one with which I have some familiarity), the results are atrocious. Being able to read the Mayan script completely changed our understanding of how they acted. The major view had been that the Maya were basically a peaceful scientific/religious culture, whereas the decipherment of the script show them to be no less violent than the other Mesoamerican civilizations. Those markings on everything that to make reference to the gods? They really just say "property of <name>".

> How is society improved by making a law optional?

In many ways.

People ignore speed limits pretty frequently. Traffic flows faster, more efficiently because everyone is breaking the law.

Laws against gay marriage and other discriminatory laws. Society is greatly improved by making them optional. Some states have strange and bizarre laws in the books but nobody is bothering enforcing them. Everyone treats them as optional and the society is better for it.
I'm a game designer. Something can seem super fun in your head, but until it gets in front of you and you can play with it, there's no guarantee it's actually fun. And almost always, there was one or more flaws in your thinking that will have to be ironed out by playing it over and over again, preferably along with other people and getting their opinions on it as well.

I can't begin to tell you how many times I come up with this clever idea, mock up a bunch of components or start coding a prototype, and go... "oh, damn, this isn't much fun." I've been able to whip a lot of those failed ideas into something fun, but it often takes a lot of experiments with different ideas or borrowing pieces of designs from other games that have worked, a lot of time and rumination on the design (I get a lot of my ideas for new things to try while walking my puppy, commuting in a quiet car, or in the shower), and putting it aside to work on something else and letting my subconscious or things I encounter in life to inspire potential solutions to the problem (and often it'll still take multiple attempts to fix things).

The ones that drive me the most crazy are the ones where you try it for the first time and go 'This isn't that fun with this set of rules, but it's close to fun. If I can just find the right tweak, this can be great.' It can sometimes seem like it takes forever to find that right tweak. I've got some prototypes that I think are almost there, but I've had to put aside because I spent so much time on it and still couldn't figure out the right tweak for them.

There have been attempts to nail down Game Design principles. There are quite a few books you can get on Amazon that have some good insights in them, GDC lectures, Gamasutra articles, academic journals, etc. There's nothing that's totally universal, but the more you learn, the larger your design palette to draw from.
Yes, but deaf people are always at a disadvantage. The law cannot eliminate that. All it can do is make reasonable compromises to mitigate it. This compromise is very clearly not reasonable.
A large company once hired me for a 5-week project. I got onsite and made my reqs for laptop and access. They gave me a badge at the end of week 1. I received the laptop in week 3 and the accounts were setup in week 4. Happily, they paid for the entire time.
I agree with John Searle on this one - it's unfair to Foucault (who despite his eccentricities is actually an engaging and lucid thinker IMO) to lump him together with obscurantists like Derrida:

"With Derrida, you can hardly misread him, because he’s so obscure. Every time you say, "He says so and so," he always says, "You misunderstood me." But if you try to figure out the correct interpretation, then that’s not so easy. I once said this to Michel Foucault, who was more hostile to Derrida even than I am, and Foucault said that Derrida practiced the method of obscurantisme terroriste (terrorism of obscurantism). We were speaking French. And I said, “What the hell do you mean by that?” And he said, “He writes so obscurely you can’t tell what he’s saying, that’s the obscurantism part, and then when you criticize him, he can always say, ‘You didn’t understand me; you’re an idiot.’ That’s the terrorism part.” And I like that. So I wrote an article about Derrida. I asked Michel if it was OK if I quoted that passage, and he said yes.

Foucault was often lumped with Derrida. That’s very unfair to Foucault. He was a different caliber of thinker altogether."

Last time I saw Youtube's automatic subtitling, it was rubbish, and if Google hasn't got this solved, I doubt anyone has. Lectures are also likely to include some less common, discipline specific words, and to be hard to follow if the transcription doesn't record those accurately. So I can totally imagine that manual subtitling is necessary to meet the required standard.

The logic isn't insane if applied to a better example.

If there's no penalty to making cars without seatbelts, then carmakers will make cars without seatbelts. So we outlaw cars without seatbelts. This is exactly the society we live in.

Sure, a car with no seatbelts might be better than no car at all. But society has decided that cost is worth it, in order to incentivize widespread installation of seatbelts.

Berkeley has chosen to throw its car away rather than install the legally required seatbelts.

Not all regulations are good (and this one may not be), but I think the logic behind them is understandable, not insane.

All computer code is a dangerous tool that is often unnecessary and should be avoided if possible. A macro is no more or less dangerous than a function, class, variable, module, or anything else.

C macros have the issue that even when everyone involved in the creation and use of a C macro understands its pifalls, those pitfalls cannot be removed from the macro.

For instance, a certain C macro might evaluate some expression twice. Everyone knows that this is dangerous, but there isn't any way to fix it. They just document it.

ISO C itself says that getc may evaluate its argument multiple times; thus don't do things like getc(stream_array[i++]) unless you remove the macro definition wth #undef.

Lisp macros do not have issues that are unfixable in this way.

Sometimes they have issues that are difficult, though not impossible. Usually that occurs when, to be perfect, the macro would have to do a full-blown code walk. Macros are written that do code walks (for instance the iterate macro).

> Put succinctly, the problem I write about in the blog post is that macros are essentially always inlined into the output of the compiler. This has the effect of more tightly coupling the modules together than is evident in the surface syntax. (Note that macro invocation sites are syntactically indistinguishable from function invocation sites, which makes this problem worse.)

Before you apply macros, you need a well-designed (and documented, and versioned!) API against which the macros will write the code. If all you care about is what the macro syntax looks like and don't put any design into how the expansion works (beyond just massaging it so that it somehow works), then you may run into problems.

Macros don't introduce any problems that writing the same code by hand against the same API's wouldn't introduce.

If someone has to write the code, I don't see how you can get around it: it's either going to be a human, or a macro.

Okay that makes sense, sounds like someone at UC Berkley took a risk thinking that auto captioning would be enough but it isn't good enough yet.

I hope the auto captions improve over time. I feel like Facebook auto captions are already really, really good. If YouTube can reach that level of auto captioning it would benefit a lot of people.
Only:

- it breaks immediately if there is more than one '.widget' on the page

- your app will get out-of-sync DOM updates because different parts will flush changes to the DOM at different times (React is DOM = f(state, time), so if multiple changes happen in f, they all be flushed to DOM in one go)
I've read that a couple of times. His final theory seems pretty plausible. In addition to Death Valley being a huge place, no one was really thinking like a German family with no real experience of just how vast and remote much of that area is.

Of course, that search took place when their car was found months after they disappeared. No one searched for them at the time because all that was known was they hadn't returned their car and had missed their flight.
We use Square as our point of sales system at our spa. We are biting our nails now since most of our sales are $75+ and people don't generally carry around that kind of cash anymore. Our iPad also suddenly got signed out of the POS app. Luckily my phone was signed in so I put it in airplane mode to kick it into OFFLINE mode.

You can't sign into the square dashboard either so access to square appointments on the browser is a no go.

Have you tried Loopers for Android to update main thread from NDK BG thread? I've seen people have success with that, but I personally didn't try it. AFAIK if you want to use MVVM pattern, there's no option than to use JNI.

We use Djinni extensively and it does what it advertises. We've to be careful with retain cycles and Djinni proxies create strong retain cycles if didn't configure correctly.

I'm actively looking into libdispatch for threading. I've heard of people having success with long polling of file/socket and dispatch_source to update main threads from BG on iOS/Android. I'll probably write a blog post if I succeed (and that's a big IF).
> While I understand wanting to make things available to the deaf, making them unavailable to everyone else is nuts.

Especially as they're being offered for free. The "If X group cannot have it, nobody can have it" reasoning seems mad. So because the deaf cannot get value from those videos, others cannot either. I'm not deaf, but I cannot imagine many deaf people thinking this is reasonable.

You might also think of other minorities. Why isn't it also illegal for free lectures not to accommodate blind people? Or those without internet access at all. If you take the "X group doesn't have it, nobody can have it" reasoning to its ultimate conclusion, it seems to me that nothing can be provided for free to anyone.

Which is why we're not trying to cure their deafness. Instead, we're trying to ensure that the deaf have access to the same information those who aren't deaf have.
A very common thing that happens to me is that I have to take big blocks of JSON, and map all the keys and values into something else, like HTML or CSV.

Without macros, this traditionally involves a lot of copy-paste-change-stuff repetition.

With a Vim macro, I can happily just do this once, assign it to a register, and repeat as needed, and even store it for later reuse if I want.

There are also, littler things, like jumping between HTML tags, or bulk-indents.

What makes Vim's macros better (in my opinion) that other editor's macros is that fact that they're simply stored in copy-paste registers, meaning that you can have many of them, store in a different file, copy them off the internet, or compose them together.
Yeah, the altered headline makes it sound like a dry read on the order of a Wikipedia disambiguation page. Which it very much is not.

Seconded, NYC is great for tech meetups, there are several everyday. And if you're unemployed it certainly doesn't hurt that they often are catered or at least provide pizza.

If you go to meetups and actually talk to other attendees you will certainly learn a lot, meet people in the industry and open new doors for yourself.
