As a user, I wish nothing but the eternal torment of nineteen hells upon Electron, for that is what it inflicts upon me.

SwiftUI gives me my device's native performance and UI.

There have been businesses that provide compliance services for forever. I would expect ADA compliance to be dramatically simpler and easier than HIPPA or SOC or GDPR.
As I said in another comment about another case that didn't make it, the acceptance rate of the Supreme Court is single-digit percentages. Don't overinterpret them not accepting a case. They have to not accept a lot of cases. It may not be entirely meaningless, but it isn't very meaningful either. There will be another case about this in the future if they do choose to take it up. I'm sure this is a perennial topic.
It probably is sufficient; the issue here was Domino's said the website wasn't covered by the ADA at all.

And there might be trouble with some of Domino's coupons being online-only.
I would consider this a good thing. It really doesn’t require very much effort to be compliant and it ultimately results in UI that are more easily accessible by not only bling people, among other disabilities but also encourages better extensibility for creative purposes https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/
And that's why Electron is popular. People don't have to deal with these issues.
I’m a bit shocked that the Dominos CLI wasn’t brought up as a defense.

> Can you unpack what you mean by ‘charade’...? In particular, why did you choose that word? Are you suggesting it is fake? Fake in what sense?

I'm suggesting it's fake in the sense that it pretends things are real which are not physically real, like national boundaries and countries and other jurisdictions. Los Angeles County has no physical existence beyond the people who pretend it's real.

> One useful definition of politics is this: systems and behavior that result from people disagreeing without violence.

I agree with this, but it doesn't capture people pretending administrative jurisdictions exist. How taxes work is a good example of the charade becoming useful: Services have to be paid for, so taxes must be collected somehow. How do you do that without making people feel like they're paying for a lot of stuff they're not getting? By drawing lines on a map and saying that everyone who lives within those lines pays these taxes, and everyone who lives outside of those lines pays those taxes, and so on. Poof: You have a way to pay for things which gives people some kind of choice in the matter beyond just voting. That's important because other, more real, effects of the economy can determine which areas have rich people and which areas have poor people.
If you replace the SF part with the distributed team part, is there any real advantage to using 'blockchain' corps vs delaware corps?
You're getting the "blind" part, but assuming someone can talk to a human? Not to mention "sounds like"...
> The law has covered websites for decades.

Except it hasn't. The U.S. legal system is based on precedence (common law), and other than a scattering of local Title III judgements (Long v. Live Nation Worldwide, Inc., Haynes v. Hooters of America, LLC, Winn-Dixie, Blick Art) there is no concrete or shared understanding of how ADA applies to e-commerce.

I welcome all these lawsuits, for no other reason that we'll reach a consensus sooner-than-later on compliance.
South Korea has a... border conflict with its northern neighour, a territorial conflict with Japan, and a massive and well armed military given its size.

>openly ignoring international norms.

Could you explain a bit more about what this means exactly? If you are talking about international law, plenty of world powers ignore it when it suits them.
PG+E isn’t “too big to fail” at all, they just went bankrupt!

The real issue here is that PG+E is responsible for wildfires caused by power lines, and they don’t have many ways to deal with it. They aren’t allowed to raise rates to pay for more anti-fire measures. They can spend their fire prevention budget smarter, but at some point the gains there are maxed out. One of the few things they can do is to shut off power during times of high fire risk.
In Canada, combination gas station/convenience store/fast food chain restaurants are pretty common. As a USian who's lived in New England and the Pacific Northwest, the first time I came across one was almost viscerally starting.
What you're describing already exists for most businesses. Try opening a restaurant without hiring a specialist firm to do compliance reviews (rhetorical: is food safety more important than privacy protections?). Bricks & mortar businesses often have a parade of compliance and certification hoops to keep spinning that they live or die by.

The future of the Internet is the present of all other industry. Take all the regulations and government interference that already exists in old industries and apply it to every business online, every commercial website. Nothing can stop this process, it's well underway now and will get radically worse over the coming 10-15 years. The regulation monster has its claws out and is beginning to sink them in (half the room will cheer that today, then complain ten years from now at the burden; oh but they went too far, you see; human nature in action).

Whatever it is you want to build, do it now before the regulators and competition (through regulatory capture) conspire even further to make it far more expensive and burdensome. Hurry, the old days of a low regulation, free Internet are rapidly fading.
distract? are you serious? yea this isn't distracting at all to 99.99% of people who can get along fine without worrying about pronoun rules.

On the surface, this sounds like a fine thing. Who doesn't want accessible websites?

But it really opens a can of worms. What's a place of public accommodation? With brick-and-mortar, it's easy; if you have a physical location open to the general public, it probably qualifies. But on the web? Does my personal website count? What if I sell t-shirts on it? What if I don't sell anything, but have forums where the public can discuss things? What about a site which is primarily about communications, i.e. speech? Does a requirement that you put ARIA labels on things amount to compelled speech?

What if accessibility standards change? Am I compelled to upgrade my site?

This issue is a lot hairier than the court imagines. Does the court really want to get into the issue of which websites need to comply and which don't?
> Java code written today will still run without change in 5 years. Can't say the same of other languages.

That’s only half true now that Java actually has a steady release cycle. There were plenty of breaking changes from 8+.
My understanding, from a quick 5 minute skim, is that it may be. It's being sent back to the district court for reconsideration.

Basically what seems to have happened is this:

1. Robles sued Dominoes alleging their website violated the ADA.

2. The district court dismissed the suit, saying the DOJ needs to provide guidance on the standards that websites must meet, if the court is to hold them to the ADA. They don't examine the question of the phone.

3. The appeals court steps in and says that no, the district court was wrong to dismiss it for that reasons, and sends it back to the district court.

4. Dominoes appeals to SCOTUS, saying "help, the appeals court got it wrong, please step in!" SCOTUS declines to get involved, so the case will go back to the district court, which may still find that the phone access provided is an adequate accommodation.
Oh wow you ought to watch this one https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vwZee0r_ICs

It is in French and subtitled, but so exactly relevant to your point!
It's a prediction of other things, too. Even just sheer every-day quantum mechanics sets a limit, too; eventually you're asking to nail down a photon's origin with so much precision that you lose the frequency or something, things you don't normally think about even in the most extreme astronomy today, but become relevant when discussing bouncing photons around a black hole 30 million light years away.
Perhaps... one of the capabilities is to dope gates with different materials so the transistor layout stays the same but the behavior is modified. Unless the system could detect the actual elemental differences you might get a false sense of security just confirming the transistor layout.
Hey, it's not like any political movement, pro-climate included, has ever been without some embarrassing missteps and overstatements. You could name anything, no matter how true or virtuous, and I could find you some wayward supporters who are doing more harm than good, and some arguments that only seem right if you focus on their conclusion.
Just standard anti-trans fear mongering then. If you cannot tell the difference between they/them and your majesty then it's hard to take you seriously. I hope I never have to work in the same team as someone with such poor judgement.
> It's with the fact that even though it's possible to build and operate safe nuclear plants, human nature gets in the way and prevents that from happening.

People have managed to do that with airliners, even though flying at 30,000 feet in -40F temps, insufficient oxygen, in a tin balloon filled with gas has nothing inherently safe about it. And yet airline travel is incredibly safe.

I.e. since we can make that safe, we can do that with reactors.

(For contrast, ever wonder how the US got the B-17's to England during WW2? The combat crews, as their first job, flew them there across the Atlantic. My dad (B-17 navigator) said more than a few took off from Newfoundland and were never heard from again. After the war they came back on a ship. Lindbergh came back on a ship, too.)
Well, that power has to come from somewhere, and it’s not from within SF.
> What x86 processor doesn’t support 32bit code?

That's the wrong question to be asking. The relevant hardware change is when x86 CPUs that don't support 64-bit code finally disappeared from the market and eventually from the install base.

There is only a very narrow range of use cases for which running 32-bit code on a x86-64 processor is preferable to running the same code compiled as 64-bit. For everything else, going 64-bit is a clear improvement if not an outright necessity. Even if it didn't require any ongoing maintenance, continuing to ship 32-bit versions means wasting storage space and network bandwidth, and leaving on the table the improvements enabled by going 64-bit (eg. better ObjC runtime). For the entire existence of x86-64 processors it has been clear that retaining 32-bit compatibility through the entire software stack has significant downsides and that the cost/benefit balance has been inexorably moving toward eventually dropping 32-bit support.
yea the problem is all the people getting involved and outraged about things that dont concern them. they even use war terms like "allies" to get that moral righteousness so they feel like theyre in the "fight"
> Low-margin yes, but is the motor vehicle industry really so well run?

My understanding of different businesses is this: If you are in a high-margin industry, you can screw up and still be around and maybe even thrive (think Coca-Cola/MS and their ventures into so many fields). If you're in a low-margin business, you're already walking on thin-ice and have to be operationally great. That tilts the odds against many of the newbies. Of course, I don't want to comment on Tesla's operational capabilities or write it off like Prof Galloway does.
They aren’t allowed to raise rates to pay for more anti-fire measures.

They don't need to. They could cut back or eliminate their dividends, cut back executive compensation, stop buying back stock, etc., etc.

They cut back their line crews ages ago (plenty of cost savings there), and if San Bruno is any indication, PG&E hasn't bothered to keep records (additional cost savings) for quite a while.
This is what the west is doing to China now.
Those are some of the worst episodes. Except maybe the Jakovasaur one...

They had built things up too much assuming a particular outcome, and when reality didn't pan out, they had to scramble to try to salvage something remotely coherent. They mostly did not succeed.

That does not in any way appear to be associated with, or endorsed by, the Dominoes business, which is likely why it was never mentioned.
This would not apply to your street art.

Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990:

"No individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation by any person who owns, leases (or leases to), or operates a place of public accommodation."

"a failure to take such steps as may be necessary to ensure that no individual with a disability is excluded, denied services, segregated or otherwise treated differently than other individuals because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services, unless the entity can demonstrate that taking such steps would fundamentally alter the nature of the good, service, facility, privilege, advantage, or accommodation being offered or would result in an undue burden;"

Are you arguing that the Americans with Disabilities Act is wrong, or that making a website accessible is an undue burden? (while say, ramps for wheelchairs is not)

Are screen readers still as terrible as that article makes them sound? Regretfully, I've never actually tried to use one, nor worked with anyone who needed one. I imagine they are basically horrific to use on almost any modern website.

My inexpert suspicion is that investment in better screen reading technology could make millions of sites accessible which currently are not, and that there should be some way to meet in the middle -- perhaps companies funding a consortium to push screen reading tech forward while at the same time making it an order of magnitude easier for a site to be accessible.
lol no...
How do you know what’s for sale at Domino’s?
They can negotiate afterwards if they say they can’t pay, but that also is already built into the higher non-insured price list...
Is there a checker to see if a website is accessible, and how to make it accessible (like the ones for SEO and site-speed optimizations)?
Most indie games in the past 5+ years are made with a few middleware engines like unity or gamemaker and AFAIK it's a rebuild option to release a 64bit version.
The issue here appears to be whether or not it's Domino's legal (and moral) obligation to make their website compatible with some specific piece of screen-reader software. To me, it seems like they probably should; the APIs are relatively clear, standardized, and easy to use, and there are quite a few people who can't use the website otherwise.

I do wonder how far this argument goes, though. Say someone creates a new device that allows people with some incredibly rare motor impairment to access the Internet. Is it now the responsibility of everyone in the world to add support for that device?
A lot cheaper, with less administrative hassle. DE C-Corp incorporation will run you a couple grand, with minimal annual fees in the few hundreds, and you have to do various administrative tasks like file your annual reports (on a website that looks like it was made in 1995), hold annual meetings with minutes (even if it's just yourself), re-elect yourself President every year (even if you are the only shareholder), etc. If there are any disputes or anything is done incorrectly, you're looking at tens-to-hundreds-of-thousands in legal fees.

The blockchain dream (which still needs a lot of tooling and infrastructure) is that you fill out a form once, incorporation and annual maintenance is basically free, and most of the mundane legal stuff is enforced by software for very small fees. He also mentions nation-states as a configurable parameter: basically this would mean that moving your company's legal jurisdiction would be as simple as updating a form field, and nations would have to compete to retain businesses.
I hope you know that's not a very strong legal precedent, which is why it keeps getting appealed to the Supreme Court from various jurisdictions. You speak (or seem to hope) as if the law is clearly on one side, which it isn't, at least not that strongly.

There is contradictory case law (like Southwest Airlines 2002) that says the ADA does not extend to virtual / online stores.

Companies are policing themselves on this issue out of liability to be sued, which is a far cry from a declarative right to have accommodations online. It is not that certain.
Well, that power has to come from somewhere, and it’s not from within SF.

Up until 2006 there was indeed a power plant in southeast SF. More importantly getting power from elsewhere doesn't necessarily mean creating the kinds of situations PG&E is trying to avoid by creating lengthy blackouts.
Mac OS X has one built in, if you are looking to play around with one.
If modifying your shop to be accessible to everyone is not profitable for you, then you shouldn't be doing it. All this law does is require businesses to spend more money before they can operate. For now, this will hurt the economy more than it helps it.

The key is actually using a screen reader and better yet having someone with accessibly needs provide feedback. Following guidelines is great but usability is only great when you actually see how someone interacts with your site. Again though, it’s not that hard.
People with disabilities need online access more than "normal" people so as to help make the rest of their lives work. Disabilities that make it difficult to get out and about and effectively go about their business in person can be hugely mitigated by options like online ordering, assuming the online experience is accessible.

What is a mere convenience for many people is de facto the equivalent of a flying wheelchair for handicapped people -- when it actually works for them and isn't some new "fuck you" from the world.

> Some don't even bother to have bathrooms for their customers.

At least in California, any business with eat-in food services is required (by law) to provide restrooms. If a Domino's franchise does not offer eat-in service, it's entirely reasonable (and legal) they don't have public restrooms.
