I spend at least a few hours every week talking & gathering feedback from customers with disabilities. What I've learned, beyond the fact that our screen reader experience is not great (yet), is that we're not doing a good-enough job communicating the a11y improvements we've made. And because of this some users (particularly screen reader users) are sticking with the work-arounds from back in the day when our a11y support was indeed worse.

If you feel like it please write in to feedback@slack.com and we can set up a meet. I'd love to learn what we're doing wrong and potentially go through the support & improvements we've built.

This article should help as well. It's documenting not just the shortcuts but also how to perform different flows.
Just a quick thing worth noting, a lot of conventional players won't open lossless h264 content. QuickTime being one example.
Awesome article...very thoroughly covered a crammed event :)

Planes should be able to fall back completely on VOR/ILS systems, GPS is used pretty minimally in aviation. The new ADS-B Out transponders won't be able to transmit their location, but the traditional radar systems should be able to locate them the old way.

Probably because the more barriers you put in the way of scams, social engineering, etc. the harder you make it for people to legitimately get back into their accounts and the more likely it is that you'll instead read stories about how someone "forgot their credentials and lost access to everything in their account and Google won't do anything about it."

Practical fiscal education in schools is almost a political nonstarter. If you were to educate high school freshmen on how savings, loans, investments, taxes and retirement planning works for a semester it would greatly alter the voting habits and priorities of that generation.

I wouldn't pick Stylus for a new project, but you can use it with a linter like Stylint (https://github.com/SimenB/stylint) to enforce stricter conventions. Totally agree with you on the importance of consistency for maintainability (where it can be applied automatically with tools).
I basically gave up on twitch after it stopped working on the Xbox 360. The app just shows thumbnails but never streams. It doesn't work right in the browser for me either, probably due to running an old version of Chrome, but it used to work, and the browser hasn't changed, so I blame site "upgrades" (read: changes that break what was previously working.)

I don’t understand your use of the term “fair market value” in quotes, implying that it’s not the actual market value. If the seller and buyer are not under duress while selling and buying, why is the dealer not buying and selling at the market value?
Of course. I thought it was a lost art but it makes sense.

No. It's a little more complex than that.

They did in fact claim the flag was a joke and that they were flying it out of "irony" and to "piss off liberals". They didn't overtly express racists views. But the language they used and their dress leaves no doubt.
Now if they would bring that HUD to some of the lower trims..
For starters, H1Bs are cheaper to hire. Also, they're more desperate to stay in the US, so they won't demand too much and won't walk away from poor conditions.

That also fixes with the population issue since middle class Americans can't really afford to have kids.
Nobody's talking about what might cause an outage. There are three basic parts to any GNSS: The control segment, the space segment, and the atmosphere on the way back down.

The control segment is run by the military so let's assume it's as secure as any other military network, and that attacking it would be seen as an act of war. And there are several constellations run by various countries, who do not represent a common target.

The space segment is vulnerable to space weather, but has proven pretty darn resilient so far. Even if a big CME or something knocked out a few satellites, there are ton of them up there, and most of the most critical applications only rely on timing, not positioning, and would work fine with a degraded constellation.

The atmosphere is where it gets interesting; an airburst nuke will make the ionosphere basically opaque to such signals for quite some time. How long depends on a lot of details, but assume several weeks. This would affect all signals from all constellations for all users, and is IMHO the only threat worth worrying about. Because an airburst over the ocean might not be construed as an attack on any specific nation, but it would exact a huge economic toll on the most developed and tech-reliant nations. It must be a tempting option for a spastic tyrant who has a nuke or two and feels backed into a corner.

Wait, how do ships eliminate their CO2 emissions?

Re:

If burning bunker oil produces CO2, as I would expect it does, then obviously all of the CO2 is not coming from cars.

I understand making 'broadly true but strictly speaking flat wrong' generalized statements, but to do that in the same breath as criticizing somebody for making "garbage claims" seems... I don't know, worthy of note I guess.
> 4) You can retake possession of your hacked Gmail account by providing one of the previously used passwords. No need to have a working phone.

That's possible?! I only ever change password if I suspect it might have been compromised. Now if a service allows to use old passwords, that's quite a bummer and makes password change meaningless.

Ayup. Here's what I got back from them:

In light of the extended Fraud on your account, I believe
that due to the 7 day lapse between you collecting the SIM
and returning to the USA, then your details could have been
compromised anywhere. In all probability, this occurred in
the USA as this is where the accounts have been set up and
believed the fraudsters would have had to have been in order
to benefit from the crime.

The fact that you bought a SIM card in the UK is purely
circumstantial I’m afraid, therefore we would not
investigate this further.

Of course I was shouting "THEY HAD TO SHIP IT BACK TO THE U.S. FOR IT TO WORK" as well as providing the call logs documenting calls from the Atlanta region (where I don't live and hadn't visited), but it fell on deaf ears and I gave up. That response made me feel like a tin-hatted conspiracy theorist, though: yes, I am certain I was defrauded through an international criminal conspiracy.
That's certainly exploitation, agreed. I'm not sure why anyone would use "no other options" to argue something isn't when that's almost a requirement for exploitation.

That said, the desert metaphor also gets us to the usual issue: arresting the water-seller without doing anything else still makes life much worse for the hikers. I don't accept the libertarian argument that exploitation can't be immoral if it's mutually beneficial, but it seems accurate to say that the exploitation is usually not the most immoral thing happening. It's a more active harm, but having one unpleasant option is still better than having zero options.

Coming back to the article: earning four Euro per hour to live in Paris is obviously unsustainable. Taking half of someone's already-low wages to (indirectly) provide them with work papers is a callous thing to do, and knowingly designing a company to provide plausible deniability for that practice is alarming. And yet... if someone is living in an abandoned car with no support and no right to work legally, earning 17 Euro a day is still better than earning nothing at all. Any reaction that claims to be about protecting the worker needs to start with those problems before it cuts off their job.
Not really an average person isn't he?
Because it's an article for non-graph-theorists. People tend to follow sentences involving familiar categories, than "nodes of H" and "nodes of G".

And speaking as a graph theorist. When you've got three graphs like this, and you want to unambiguously refer to nodes of each, leaving things perfectly general can get quite tedious and torture the language. For example, sometimes it's just nicer to just say "red nodes" and "blue nodes" where any colors would suffice.
My father was a mathematician/physicist, tinkerer and a voracious reader of litereature. In the mid 80's (in eastern europe) he had a lot of free time on his hands to experiment with computers and to build a personal library of books. I vividly remember the day he brought home a sinclair spectrum clone that was running basic and two tapes of games for me to enjoy. I got bored with playing games rather quickly and started dabbling in basic attempting to make my own games. My fascination with computers grew tremedously. In the early 90s my father emmigrated to the US and ended up as a programmer for Bell Atlantic after stumbling upon a few odd jobs. Though he had a hard immigrant life he kept me updated with books and faster and faster PCs at the time (x86, x286, pentium, etc) and really long vivid letters about his experiences in the US, explaining school math and programming to me. We were separated by distance for 10 years and yet his infuence was stronger than ever. He also made sure I was also learning other things as well and that I wasn't glued to the computer screen all the time. Fast forward to early 00s when I and the rest of the family emmigrated to the US as well, my dad taught me a bit of SQL and VB6 after which I landed a job as a junior dev. I was an intern first then the company hired me F/T. I've had to quickly upgrade from VB6 but SQL had remained in my toolkit and proved a good investment. Unfortunately he passed away a year after my arrival. It all came as a huge shock, he had a massive heart attack due to stress, I think he was too old to adapt to the fast paced US, he was 55 years old. RIP Dad. I ended up supporting my family for years to come and and if it wasn't for his guidance I don't know how all would have turned out.

Why should this be the case?
I found this EconTalk episode [0] quite interesting.

The takeway was the idea that all scalper-like transaction had something in common. Most of the time, the law would forbid it, but the underlying "moral" part was that the transaction in that case is not really volontary. So he coined the term of eu-volontary transaction (ie truly volontary).

One of the rule of such a transaction is "Neither party is coerced into exchange by dire necessity, and neither party has enough bargaining power to impose an abusive price." I believe this is the issue here.

Jim Cramer: A 'Hard Left' Democratic President Would Be a 'Disaster' for Stocks
Lots of ad-supported sites and services could/would be replaced by something free and volunteer-driven—and in some cases probably a little worse, in others, a little better, than their existing commercial counterparts—if ads just went away tomorrow. There's low motivation to do so now because you're "competing" with deep-pocketed ad-supported orgs for users, but if a gap opened up due to ads no longer being viable, it'd be filled. In some cases the alternatives already exist, they're just not well-trafficked and are somewhat neglected. Maintainers/supporters and users would flow in and they'd quickly grow and improve if the commercial alternatives died.

We've seen the open web and protocols stagnate because capturing users to spy on them is so lucrative, and open protocols make it harder to capture them. The open web would be revived without all the ad money and (consequent) developer time going into that capture effort.

For the rest, yeah, probably subscriptions.
Mazda is guilty of this, too.

Compare the HVAC control on the base model Mazda3: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/xqIAAOSwlv9aU8Hh/s-l1600.jpg

With the HVAC control on the higher trim lines: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Xdav_EsJ3bQ/maxresdefault.jpg

The older/cheaper interface is WAY easier to control. Changing vent operation or fan speed on the new interface always takes way more button pushes and time until it's in the state I want.
There's a purely practical side to the distinction, which is that both composers and performers tend to divide themselves along informal but generally understood lines, according to their skill sets and interests. So if you meet a music student and ask them if they are studying "classical or jazz," they will probably have a definite answer for you, without having to stumble over precise definitions. Of course the answer might be "both." The terms become useful, even if loosely defined, for hiring or getting hired.

Likewise, a musician who has focused solely on one genre might find it difficult -- even prohibitively so -- to function in another genre without a great deal of effort.

In my observation, debates over these distinctions tend to become more polarized, the further the debaters get from direct involvement in the music as players or listeners.
> That is no way user centric. This decision is 100% business driven and has nothing to do with the end user. It basically means they have given up on developing a good branded interface between the driver and the car.

Genuinely curious: what does the interface being "branded" have to to with the user? To me, focusing on whether their interface is branded would be more business-driven rather than user-centric.
Of course. That makes total sense.
I think there can be several reasons that a company lacks good customer service. One might be lack of competition. Another could be that they don't see their users as customers.

There's a new checkbox in takeout that lets you schedule a backup every 2 months (and then presumably you'll get an email when you need to download it).

Does anyone else have issues with takeout failing with "unknown error occurred" if you use the default of selecting all products? I have to manually create multiple takeout archives (one for gmail, one for photos, one for location history...)

Undertaking = passing on the left, in a system where traffic is meant to drive on the left and pass on the right. By analogy with overtaking, for passing on the right.

Cyclists (in a bike lane or not) undertaking heavier vehicles certainly are involved in a lot of serious accidents. However it's a very twisted view of reality to say that this causes accidents. The proximate cause is the heavy vehicles turning left or pulling to the left without regard for the cyclist in their blind spot.
Unlike what the OP stated, the key is NOT to list you phone number as an SMS 2FA recovery option. Only use the non-SMS options (e.g. app-based recovery, Google Authenticator, recovery codes). Adding SMS as an option makes your account less secure, not more.

Unfortunately, most sites do not allow you to turn off SMS recovery even if they offer other 2FA options.

Security is only as strong as the weakest link, and SMS is very weak.
Maybe Detroit? Though I hear houses are closer to $10k there.
And a ton of older GPS-only hardware is still perfectly reliable and relevant. The recent week number roll-over forced some of the more decrepit junk to be replaced, but those with passable WNRO support are still in service despite being single-constellation.

It'll be a long time before multi-constellation receivers are the norm, and even longer before they displace the majority of critical timing receivers and reference stations and stuff.

They search you anyway, the point is that you have to be clean, not that you have to smell good.

Be sure to not bring anything that may cause troubles, but don't worry if they treat you like a troublemaker, it's just their job.

You're on a van, packed with stuff, you dress weird, you look weird, you probably haven't slept properly the night before, they are going to search you, no matter what.

Even more so if you have merch with you, for example in Switzerland they want you to pay taxes on the merch you sell, so they try as hard as they can to get an idea of how much money you're going to make so that they can charge you on the way back, when you leave the country.

That's what crossing borders with bands (mostly american) taught me.
