I'm not from USA so yes I don't know how the law works in USA.

> The ADA does not work that way. Nobody has to make prospective changes. But if you build a new building, or do significant renovation, then you must do that work up the the modern code, which includes ADA accommodation.

But this didn't apply for the existing MIT/UCB courses did it? For any new courses, I might agree that the mandate might be necessary. But imposing this on older courses does not seem right to me.

Someone is doing something for free out of their own money and time. Someone else comes along, who has the power to sue and win, says that the service that was provided for free didn't include them and hence the rest of the folks who were beneficiaries of the free service should not benefit from it unless they were also benefited. It's one thing to ask for and mandate accommodations for things you pay for, it's another to ask for accommodations for a free service. I wholeheartedly disagree with this opinion and idea. Because of ADA's law thousands if not millions across the world are losing out on wonderful resources for education which might not be available.

On the one hand I can see some people do not get the benefit without captions while many people benefit from the free service. What the law has done is to accommodate the some, now no one will receive the free service. The intention behind the law seems noble, but the outcome does not remotely justify it. Neither party wins. Is there any benefit of robbing someone else's education because you're not able to get it?

> Taxpayer dollars are supposed to be spent on things that benefit everyone.

Again, not from USA. But if i'm in such a position, my questions would be why aren't there closed captions for which I paid tax for? Is the tax dollars actually budgeted for creating captions? What and where is the budget being allocated for govt institutions like UCs? From the univ's perspective, captions might be available for the students, but should/is there budget for accommodating the general public? Is there a budget split up of taxpayer dollars which mandates that univ's should allocate some amount for captions for the public (note- for the public, not the students who pay for the education)? Is there difficulty in hiring? And so on. But the way I see it as a general outsider is that a "law" has been put forth saying it should accommodate deaf people too. I'm sure UCs and other universities are doing everything they can to accommodate for disabled students, I believe they have zero obligation to do anything out their goodwill for people who don't pay for their services.

I believe the law pretty much backfired for whatever intentions it had.

> I’ll give an example of Vint Cerf. Aren’t you glad he was able to be productive, attend university

IMO this is the wrong example to give. Vint Cerf went to university which he paid for which would have probably accommodated for his disabilities. It'd help me see a better viewpoint of your side if you can cite examples of people who were deaf and benefited from the captions and significantly moved forward in life in comparison to Vint Cerf.
I ran as a mostly solo developer for several years. I steered customers to make initial support requests via email, then scheduled calls wherever it was warranted (or sometimes just called them back if I had time and it would be more efficient). My business phone number was on my website and it went to an answering machine when I was unavailable or didn't want to take the call.

Generally my customers didn't care what time of day I responded, so much as they appreciated how sincere I was about solving their problem in short order. Being so intimately knowledgeable about the product and able to effect relatively quick codechanges where warranted empowered that, and frankly the quality of support I provided ran circles around most of their other vendors where it took multiple tickets / interactions and navigating endless bureaucracy to reach someone actually able to help.

Don't take this personally, but have someone proofread your copy. Bad copy makes your service feel less trustworthy than it is.
It can be an automation thing. With tools like (Github) Codespaces there are places today that have the ability to deploy every random PR branches and do PRs in a full code editor backed with a running deployment that you can browse. Admittedly, that's a lot easier to do when what you are deploying is web-based and automating spinning up new URLs (even just proxy forwarded localhost URLs in the case of Codespaces) is easy and things are a lot harder to automate with for instance mobile apps.

Apple Maps is so close to being a fantastic app, but is sorely missing “search along route” that Google has. Right now, you can press the “coffee” or “gas” button but there’s no way to say, search for a CVS on the way back home from work. I really wish Apple added this instead of just suggesting searches that might be useful.
Hard to gather evidence if you first have to prove the crime.
I'm somewhat amused by this investment vehicle you've proposed. Hire a sketchy-looking dude in a van missing a taillight to courier your cash. He gets popped, but isn't doing anything illegal, maybe has a pre-rolled joint in the glove box, so they seize your cash. Every day it's tied up, you're getting serious returns. Eventually, submit the courier contract to prove that the cash wasn't being used for crimes, and reap that interest.

I see this cop-baiting practice getting criminalized long before civil forfeiture.
Not only that, I don't think this was a bank, but instead a private holding company which allowed safe deposit boxes to be anonymous. What a bank reports as common with regard to seizures and what businesses like these report as common might be entirely different.

For those who don't know it:

ClickHouse is a columnar, analytic, close-to-a-DBMS, but not a full-fledged one. The "100x-1000x faster" is compared to row stores. Last time I checked it was mostly single-table-oriented.
Sure, consider the human rights abuse that is the online mug shots industry in the US for example. There's no sympathy for those people, the assumption is guilt. The superficial tough on crime types revel in the notion that those people get publicly humiliated (and it fulfills the deranged lust for snooping, nosing into other people's business). Mug shots don't tell the story of whether someone is innocent or guilty and yet your photo might end up on the Internet regardless.

This is just the natural progression of giving any government organization power. Civil asset forfeiture was originally created to attack organized crime but much like the patriot act, once a group gets power they are going to use it as they see fit and are going to fight tooth and nail against giving it up. Every time power is given it is expanded and used in ways the original law did not envision.
neat, I started a similar thing in 2014 but just didn't have the time it needed. I sincerely wish you well on your effort! I'd still love to have a shell based on ruby.
This is awesome. The best thing is that it's so fast to navigate. I like how the HN comments are styled just like on HN.

A couple of thoughts:

* It would be great if each book were to have its own URL (for sharing).

* Consider allowing the search to allow author input, e.g. if I want to find the book 'Who' by Geoff Smart, the single-word title isn't specific enough to show that book at the top of the search results.
I love the idea to use Python directly over something like YAML. YAML almost always ends up diverging into some strange, Turing-complete DSL.

Carrying over the Ansible concept of roles a little strange. Python already has several means of packaging code for re-use (functions, functions as values, packages, modules), and executing packaged code is obvious. Ansible has to do something like that because of YAML, but Python's solution seems strictly superior here.

I've always wanted an Ansible-like tool that used and embraced Python directly. Effectively a series of interfaces designed to work with each other, with various backends fulfilling them.

I want to be able to do something like

app_hosts = inventory.find(runs_application='app', env='production')
app_hosts.map(lambda host: host.services.stop('app'))

for h in app_hosts:
myApp.upgrade(h, '1.3.4')

app_hosts.map(lambda host: host.services.start('app'))

And then have it spit out a report on what was set up/changed/done. Similar to what Pulumi seems to do, but in a different niche.
Are there any commercial operators of electric grid storage using hydrogen? I can only find prototype or demonstration projects.

Most of the time, people saying grid-scale storage is feasible point to technologies that exist in the prototyping phase. The reality is that we don't know whether these solutions will be feasible at scale, or if they'll hit bottlenecks or poor scalability that drives up cost when deployed at scale. Comparing a hypothetical cost of hydrogen, to actual historical cost is comparing apples to oranges.
In the process of moving the mobility towards electrically powered vehicles all of Europe is going to need a lot more capacity. So all the disscussions about the hence and forth between France and Germany are quite moot.

Is apple’s photo search any less terrible now?

Dunno if anyone else suffers this? Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Finding a years-old photo to upload is TERRIBLE. It's trivial to do in Google Photos, but then getting a handle on the photo when using the "photo selector" widget to upload it to Twitter or an existing email is horrible.

I do this workflow dozens of times per week and the best I can come up with is:

1. text search Apple photos in the upload widget and be disappointed

2. text search Google photos and instantly find the image I want

3. "Delete from device"

4. "Download to device" (which puts it at the very front of the list)

5. Go back to Safari, finish composing Tweet, add photo, pick newest photo.

I am not saying it’s practical or their going to spend time at significant depth. The utility might have been a simple game of who could stay under water longer. That said, spending noticeably longer at 5-10m with an air filled bag weighted down by stones is a very long way from oxygen toxicity or the bends.

As to available oxygen, removal of CO2 is major limitation in the long term and that’s limited by partial pressures so having more available oxygen doesn’t help in the long term. However, the world record for holding your breath is 22 minutes on pure oxygen so if we are talking a 7 minute vs 12 minute dive CO2 is going to be irrelevant.

> Get sick?

While you wait for your appointment, research your condition using any of the free, high quality medical knowledge bases on the web, and/or connect with a community of other internet users with similar afflictions to get advice/perspective.

> Looking for an entry-level job?

Learn to code and become an in-demand knowledge worker. In the mean time, perhaps monetize your existing skills and assets by becoming an AirBnB host or Uber driver or delivery driver.

> Want to spend time with friends?

Use a widely available asynchronous messaging service to organize an outing, perhaps using a money-transfer app so that one person can take care of booking etc. If you can't meet in person, maybe you can have a video conference on one of the various free platforms, or just have an extended group chat with your friends.

> Want to go to a show?

Browse the web for a vast selection of shows you would never hear about otherwise.

Not that these points negate your complaints, but I think you paint an unnecessarily miserable picture. I think that in itself is one of the big cultural problems of America and elsewhere.
I agree with the ease of use, but I won't author or read Medium articles anymore. I am sure Medium feels that it is providing a valuable service by providing a platform for authors to monetize their content. I would prefer to pay an author directly and have no desire to support a service that sits between me and the content provider.

I realize I am being utopian, but providing a facility like Medium that uses open standards, allows bloggers to blog and doesn't skim profits should be a public service.

HN really likes Neal Stephenson. I've never read a book of his that I didn't love, so will be definitely looking though more of the recommended fiction from the community here.

That is very interesting. I live in Portland Oregon, recently we were driving out to a park and looked over and saw a mountain we had never seen before. It literally took us 5 minutes, looking at google maps, to realize it was Mount Hood - a mountain that we had seen hundreds of times before. But we didn't recognize it because it was snow free. In 21 years we've never seen it without it's cap of snow/ice and couldn't recognize it. It was shocking to say the least and really hit home what is going on with water in the region.

Lets base a large amount of our energy generation capacity on a resource that require a large amount of space and has a non zero chance of not producing anything, and lets back that up with excess power generation capacity which can mitigate this and does not exhibit this flaw.

Windmills are f.king stupid for anything other than local production.

If it did exist, it would lead to dystopia. A microcontroller with Wi-fi cost like $0.5, in the next 10 years they will be in library books, pens, shoes, do you want to live in a future where literally everyone can spy on you and fine you every time you let wind because it's against term 527 in T&C?

No; the cases of conjoined-at-the-brain twins where both twins are conscious to the degree of each knowing that it is a person are extremely rare, and in any case, a dualist could always claim that whatever is physically observable is not the whole story, as dualism is unfalsifiable so long as its proponents avoid making any affirmative statements about how the mind works.

Au contraire, Bush is widely panned across the West, trust in or respect to the CIA is at an all time low, and most educated westerners acknowledge those examples as having been terrible ideas.
Banks are regulated and want a proof of the origin of the money. In Europe even car dealers or jewellery shop want it. Because otherwise it would be money laundering. Of course it is hard to provide a proof if you have the money in your pocket.
