Show me where the ADA says that software developers must think about assistive access to content, and that not doing so is illegal.

What you have cited here is an issue of compliance for certain public services and commercial products, and you are attempting to justify thought police and the private regulation of development of software standards/protocols with it.

EDIT: Also, would you care to explain how the ADA has any impact on anyone's behavior outside of the United States?
Would you mind sharing how you want to monetize this?
I surprisingly agree with the opinion put out. Shoes have made a night-and-day difference. Also Alex was able to practice climbing indoors on artificial walls no matter the weather outside, starting from an early age.

And also Alex is the very definition of an Outlier. Everything kind of came together.

It's a combination of things. For instance drivers are statistically more likely to have accidents at 18 than 50. Drivers are more likely to have an expensive car than 50 than 18. Being less financially secure often means you are trying to keep an old junker with crappy brakes going when young.

Also risky behavior like speeding, DUI, driving aggressively, passing when unsafe, etc are generally more common when young.

Sure individuals vary, but just look at the cost of insurance to verify.

They could automate pretty much all of those away but even if they did I don't think flying is a good comparison for self-driving. Flying is pretty much the ideal environment for computer control because there are only a few actual obstacles to deal with; weather, terrain, and other planes and all of those can be handled with outside signals.

90% of 43% turnout = 38% of the population. You lost.
That may be true in many cases. But I distinctly remember some of the highways that were built in Portland, and they bulldozed existing suburban neighborhoods to do it. This city was basically one big suburb well before someone had the bright idea to build I-5 through downtown. Heck, almost all of the [residential] tall buildings in the downtown area were built well after the freeway was built.

We have an urban growth boundary now which tries to limit further sprawl, but it can't change the fact that the Portland metro area is 2 million people most of whom live in single-family homes, or maybe low density suburban apartment complexes.
I'm torn on this, I don't know what the break-even rate is on such a loan, but it must be quite high, because the default risk is high.

Let's say 150% APR is exactly the break-even rate for this kind of loans to high-risk borrowers, would you say a company writing 150% APR loans is predatory?

Obviously it is an atrocious interest rate. But what is the alternative? Unless the government or non-profits step in the make loans at a loss (or hey, direct cash transfers) to the poor, the alternative is no access to credit at all, which is strictly worse.

This smells of The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics to me:

"The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics says that when you observe or interact with a problem in any way, you can be blamed for it. At the very least, you are to blame for not doing more. Even if you don’t make the problem worse, even if you make it slightly better, the ethical burden of the problem falls on you as soon as you observe it. In particular, if you interact with a problem and benefit from it, you are a complete monster."

I rarely check out IG, but one of the annoying things about the experience is when viewing videos. There is no volume control so you end up with whatever audio is playing at full blast. They also don't provide a slider for playback so you can't do things like rewind to a second ago.

I ended up writing a Chrome extension to avoid that mess.[1]

> I as a user have pretty much lost all control over my browser.

> It’s just been handed over to the web site publisher

This is an illusion. It is a fact that the evolution of the web as a medium empowered publishers with more control. However, the browser is running on our computers. The truth is we let them have control. We trusted the publishers and allowed execution of foreign code on our machines.

We gave them that power. We can take it away. It began with popup blockers. Then people created ad and script blockers. Now we have general content blockers. I bet one day people are going to make GPL'd custom clients for popular websites.
It's been a very long time since I used a monitor with any sort of rotating dial.

The trend for decades now has been to have buttons only, and often there's a menu you have to navigate through in order to actually get to the brightness settings. It's a real hassle on many monitors.
So by that logic we shouldn't bother with wheelchair ramps because nearly the entire population has working legs. Nor should we bother with Braille on signs, since nearly the entire population can see just fine.
A good article but I'd like to offer one minor correction.

>The only way to make sure is to remove the SIM card and battery from the phone.

You only have to remove the battery, not the battery and the SIM. You aren't being tracked if your phone has no battery.
I have felt similar to you. Gesture based interfaces aren't discoverable and there's no mental model or coherence everyone is building on.

But playing devils advocate, I remember in the 90s and early 2000s an older generation taking computer classes to do basic things for work. All of the thought and consistency just didn't click with them. They spent 8 hours at work, but didn't spend their nights/weekends poking at and discovering the system. But the classes gave enough instruction for them to be productive.

Last night I was watching my 3 year old son playing with a keyboard (piano). It's battery powered, there's an on/off switch, and a volume slider. It "turns off" after a few minutes to save battery and you have to switch it off/on for it to work. He gets very confused and thinks its broken--sometimes it times out, if he fixes that the volume may be down, at some point the batteries will die. I was thinking about the interface for a grand piano. It's always on and there's a physical lid that closes when it "turns off." That interface makes much more sense to him. Sure, that interface is better and more discoverable, but it costs much more, loses flexibility, and isn't as portable. I'm not actually saying one is better than the other. It was just something I was thinking about.

The attacker needs to generate a new cert that the client trusts. This is easy on a corporate network where you can force users to trust a private CA. Unlikely to happen with a US ISP, but possible if someone hacks the CA (eg DigiNotar) or the CA hands out unconstrained certificates to someone who acts badly (eg CNNIC).

I'll give it a shot. If you put up your site behind HTTPS you are breaking the web for older web clients. Many sites have already deprecated TLS v1.1 so even 10 year old devices may no longer be able to access the web. HTTPS is great but it has a cost.
Have you seen any of the scambaiting YouTube videos? Remote access products are the reason those scammers prey on the elderly.
Well, HTTPS could still be man-in-the-middled, right? I am not really informed, but I would not be surprised if some ISPs are even recognized as certificate authorities.

There was some challenge to this experiment. Once family and parental education were accounted for, the difference largely disappeared after age 15.

Silly question, but how will your product survive if Google decides to just implement that type of view on the calendar?
Take a look at the Stylish extension, which has hundreds of styles for various websites that users created for it:

https://userstyles.org/

Using such pre-created styles is a lot faster, easier, and more convenient than manually customizing each and every element by hand yourself.

Knowing how to do that is, of course, a good skill to have when you actually do want to do something custom for which a pre-rolled style does not exist or when existing styles do something you don't like.
WireGuard does use the right wrapper -- get_random_u32(). The issue is that the implementation will just use whatever the architecture-provided randomness source provides if it's available[1]. That's the real bug.

Their data cap notice interstitials are seriously obnoxious, I ran into the same problems. I'd end up with "stuck" pages where it would just randomly appear even after I clicked close.

What I eventually had to do was open a browser tab with no adblock (perhaps Chrome Incognito), close the notice, restart my router and modem to flush DNS, then flush locally to be sure it's gone. That usually worked.
WireGuard is a kernel module, it already uses what the kernel gave it, which is get_random_u32(). Note that this is NOT used for anything crypto related, it's just used in the hashtable code.
Lisp is opinionated about side effects like this.

* In the absence of language extensions, you don't have a pointer type that can be incremented all over the place and dereferenced. You don't just mutate memory willy nilly.

* In relation to the above point, (in the absence of a language extension like "locatives") there is no address-of operator; we can't pass the address of a variable somewhere to have it changed. This can be simulated with a lexical closure, whereby we provide the function to do perform the change, which is called from somewhere. "Use lexical closures as thunks if you want var parameters" is quite opinionated.

* All mutation takes place through data-structure-specific functions (like rplaca for mutating the car of a cons cell), or dedicated special forms (like setq for mutating a variable). The use of generalized places like (incf (car x)) compiles into type-safe function calls. On one particular Lisp, CLISP, that looks like:

1> (macroexpand '(incf (car x)))
(LET* ((#:TEMP-3341 X) (#:NEW-3340 (+ (CAR #:TEMP-3341) 1)))
(SYSTEM::%RPLACA #:TEMP-3341 #:NEW-3340))

there is no idea there of calculating some effective address and just clobbering bits through that pointer. The original value is accessed using car, and the mutation happens opaquely inside the SYSTEM::%RPLACA function. That could be inlined by the compiler, but the model is basically that mutation of objects is done via an API.

* The argument evaluation order of standard functions is well-defined, so side effects occurring in argument forms are well sequenced:

(let ((x 0))
(list (incf x) (incf x) (incf x)))
--> (1 2 3) ;; required result in ANSI Lisp

(Scheme bungles this by having less of an opinion; it has C-like unspecified argument eval order.)

I feel that I've been good at writing for a long time. But that's only because I'm old and started reading and writing a LONG time ago.

So...

Read, read, read, then read some more. Take notes on what you read. Since you want to work on your thoughts I'd recommend sticking to non-fiction essays and more specifically editorials. These are examples of people putting their thoughts together.

Put down that social media, put down those forums (esp HN), put down reddit and imgur and facebook. Stop watching TV and movies, edutainment and commercials in sheep clothing. They won't help you. I mean, you can't do this 24/7, but if you find yourself with some "free" time and can choose what you want to do, don't just be a couch potato.

Write, write, write, then write some more. Doesn't need to be a lot and all at once. But regular writing, even if it's only 50 words is necessary to get the skills.

If you're not good at it, it's going to be a lot of work. But you're driven so you'll be fine if you put in the time.
Yeah, I always describe it as the US setup being in a relatively stable configuration currently and the mass transit solution being another very stable setup but the transition between the two being both painful, expensive, and time consuming.
Continued! Steam Cannon successful at MIT!

http://web.mit.edu/2.009/www/experiments/steamCannon/Archime...

>Being frustrated with the outcome, having a visit to MIT in their schedule, and remembering last year’s Archimedes’s death ray collaboration, the MythBusters asked us to take a look. They wondered if there was a simple, plausible solution compatible with da Vinci’s vague drawing and explanation of Archimedes's steam cannon.

>The drawing has been interpreted as a direct injection concept, where water rapidly sprays into a hot breech and the resulting flash of steam launches the projectile.

>But, some back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest otherwise. A 540 °C (1000 °F) copper breech can provide a heat flux of roughly 100,000 kiloWatts per square meter to water that is in direct contact with its surface. And if water can be sprayed onto the breech in a uniform 1mm thick layer, 2,000 kiloJoules of energy per square meter of surface will produce 400 PSI steam—a pressure that would generate a reasonable projectile velocity.

[...]

>High-speed camera footage showed that the muzzle velocity was over 300 m/s (670 mph)!

>We can’t say if Archimedes did it, but this small-scale test shows that a simple, powerful steam cannon could probably have been made using technology of his era.
What are we calling "passive" these days? Is there a notion about the amount of (ongoing) sweat equity/maintnence to payout we all have in mind? The original notion seems unlikely ==> finish initial work/build and then just sit back and collect checks. Seems like few of the projects posted so far, if any, meet that high bar. Realistically there is almost always ongoing maintenance, and if it comes from a passion, probably also constant tinkering and improvement. I've definitely got one of those -- I can't let it sit long enough to ever call it fully passive :)
At the risk of showing just how ignorant I am of current state-of-the-art AI, it feels like the biggest block with self-driving cars is how short their memory is and how little high-level logic is implemented. The computer doesn't feel like it's driving the car as an activity so much as simply responding to inputs as they come into sensor range, sometimes correlated, frequently not.

Would you be willing to share the name of the sponsors you invest with in the LLC? I am interested in doing the exact same and am an accredited investor, but I don't want to invest in the fundrise.com of the day, what they offer seem very "bottom of the barrell".

I would rather find some sponsor who would like accept a more limited number of accredited investors with whom to build a long-lasting relationship (ideally for decades and many deals), and in exchange I would be happy to invest larger sums of money (e.g. 50-100k per deal?).

I am asking because, if you are contemplating buying your own apartment complex, you definitely know what you're talking about and might be able to give me some very valuable advice :-)

I love Panic. Playdate looks awesome, I am happy for their success, and I wish them the best.

That said, I think both the games they've produced (Firewatch and Untitled Goose Game) are duds. They're flashy, well marketed, and totally underbaked. I expected to love both of those games, being a fan of "walking simulators" and story focused games (which Firewatch fumbled), and Hitman and stealth games (which UGG fumbled).

If what you said was literally true, that nobody believes it, then there would be little point. But "nobody" is an exaggeration. Scientists are likely to believe it, or at least are in a much better position to evaluate the truth and utility of it, and build upon it.

When it comes to abstract science, eg, the ultimate origin of the universe, it doesn't materially affect anything if it is believed or not. But if someone produces a cheaper or longer lasting battery, the proof is in the pudding, and that basic research will have made a difference.

Then there is the category of hard science which is disbelieved because moneyed interests wish to discredit it, and/or it has become a political shibboleth to discredit the science. Those aren't due to bad science.
Because radio has multiple stations you can choose from that prioritize certain lies over others. Same with TV. Fox news says one thing, when CNN says something completely different. There's lies and manipulation on both ends and you can pick and choose.

Facebook is a lot closer to public infrastructure than both radio and TV currently. There's no other facebook you can go to when you don't like how this one is curating your content. When you force facebook to tell what is lies and what isn't, you're giving it way too much power.
Unfortunately you can´t really do much with magnitudes of money - it´s all about the relative price level. Working in Silicon Valley with 6k/month income, and 4k/month housing expense makes you significantly worse off than the person with 4k income and 1k housing expense living in the midwest, say, who is consequently much more able to save. A similar comment applies with respect to comparing absolute prices between countries.

This isn't specifically speaking to your point about iPad OS 13, but I actually think that example fits very well to the desktops of the 90s everyone talks about those as thoughtfully designed and discoverable.

That's not even the half of it. Dealing with the differences between compilers, oftentimes preemptively, and various standards. For a very long time, it was common to build under c89 "just in case". Now you have to deal with the differences between c89, c99, and various industry/internal standards. That's not even considering how configurable compilers are, and all the features to consider. Then as you said, make or IDE.

Much of this isn't necessarily specific to C (lots of toolchains include build scripts, complicated settings, different language revisions, standards, ect., ect., ect.) It does feel especially bad in C though.

Why the hell would you jump to this conclusion?

Any software professional knows just as well as I that these concerns are specialized and people with a particular interest in complying with these special use cases are paid for their particular interest and capability in worrying about, and complying with, regulations within the realm of assistive access.

Most software developers think about getting their software to work correctly, not about edge-cases dealing with the UI for tiny, specific disenfranchised groups of people.

EDIT: Even if we were just to stick to the US, only 2.7 million people use a wheelchair here. That's 0.9 percent of the US population. That's really, REALLY freakin' specialized. Don't stoop to heaving virtue my way when the facts hurt.

EDIT#2: Perhaps you can quantify your ridiculous statement by telling me how the developer of this [0] application should be punished for not building assistive access into his GPLv2 project, and how he should have & could have actually done so.
