Such a good write up!! 100%.

We need to harden the stack at all layers, as many components were not explicitly defined to protect under the zero trust model, especially with the exploitable financial incentives that could not have existed before. Thank you, I feel your insight has helped strengthen my understanding too.
Great idea. I am finding it difficult to use however. I filed one bug, and it seems that there may be a few more. Maybe there is too much load on the service, but it seems that some of the basic functions are functioning as planned. I look forward to seeing if it is just in passing, because the idea is super!
When we’re you effective head of web?
The thing is, sure, plain HTML pages can be accessible, but my goodness they can be tedious.

Sighted browser users don’t particularly care if when they click through the page forward/backward links or sort a grid view by clicking a header, if the whole page reloads or if an Ajax call happens in the background. Their mouse pointer and their visual focus remain on the same place on the screen, and whether there’s a flash of white before it reappears, or a slick animated spinner, they can fluently interact with the page regardless of how it accomplishes that interaction.

But imagine using a screenreader on such a site where, every time you interact with a grid, it loads up a new page. Every time you do something, the screenreader tells you the page title, starts reading the navigation. You skip to main content. Then you need to navigate back through the table to where you were. Then you need to interact again, and.. boom, back to another page load.

This is an experience that can absolutely be enhanced through JavaScript. ARIA makes it possible for you to offer that screenreader user a much more fluent experience, where navigating to another page loads more content and immediately reads it back to you.

Sure, the HTML version is always going to be somewhat navigable with a screenreader. But that doesn’t mean it’s actually tolerably accessible.
The requirement the GP was referring to comes from the combination of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) rather than the ADA. The Telecommunications Act requires "video programming distributors" to provide closed captioning for most televised video programming (televised being the operative word here). The CVAA extended the requirement so that it also applies to televised video programming distributed on the internet. But according to the FCC's consumer guide on the CVAA, it "does not cover programs shown only on the Internet"[1].

The CVAA doesn't apply to Teachers Test Prep any more than it does to Netflix. But Title III of the ADA includes a section on "Examinations and courses" that states "Any private entity that offers examinations or courses related to applications, licensing, certification, or credentialing for secondary or postsecondary education, professional, or trade purposes shall offer such examinations or courses in a place and manner accessible to persons with disabilities or offer alternative accessible arrangements for such individuals"[2]. That's what the Justice Department found them to be in violation of. The fundamental problem was that their courses were inaccessible; lack of captioning (or other "alternative accessible arrangements") was what caused them to be in violation but wasn't a violation in and of itself.

I love the Maldives but if they become a haven to escape sanctions, it could be taken in a few hours, confiscate the yachts, then return Maldives to their government.
For some people, Bluetooth will be the one important thing and everything else that doesn't work isn't so important. Other people will be able to live without bluetooth but can't live without the HDMI port. Other people again may not use external screens but absolutely require hardware acceleration. Others still may not care so much about any of that stuff, but need the camera to work for their meetings. And maybe some are absolutely dependent on external storage accessed through Thunderbolt.

There's _a lot_ of work still. It's not clear that Bluetooth should be the highest priority of what's left. And this whole undertaking is a monumental task which it's amazing that volunteers are even attempting. Saying "I want bluetooth, please focus on that guys" here seems a bit tone-deaf.
The older I get, the more jaded I become at the illusion of democracy in society. Lobbies don't even need to bribe politicians to change their minds. They simply donate money to candidates whose thinking already aligns with their interests. As long as a politician's success is correlated to their ability to raise money, this will continue to happen for good and for ill.
At my current employer they have mobile device management and corporate "security" software installed. It appears to do full network monitoring / event capture. Performance on the machine is terrible due to all the resulting overhead. Recently several devs have complained and had it disabled. We all do have sudo.
Anyone whose been to a museum knows that super high resolution images are not the same as art. They have a limit amount of color information, can’t be displayed in the same way unless you print them (which is difficult to do well), and don’t have any 3d features (like brush strokes).

That said, people are willing to pay irrationally large amounts of money for art for pretty similar reasons to why they pay money for NFTs.
This video is actually a great example of how smart people can fool themselves.

The sources he uses for breakeven time (DOE) assumes 24.3 mpg [1] for the average regular car, but people don't drive average cars they drive specific cars.

If you take the DOE assumptions and approach this from the other end, CO2 pollution by mpg, then you find an ICE car getting approx 30 mpg or more is less polluting per mile driven than an EV powered entirely by coal, and one getting >45 mpg is less polluting than an EV powered by natural gas. This does not include the battery at all, which makes sense as it is an independent consideration.

This is a more honest way to present the information so individuals can make informed decisions for themselves among potential car purchases and so that people aren't fooled into thinking that all EVs are less polluting in all circumstances.

Using Tor is much worse than using public wifi, because instead of handing all your unencrypted traffic over to McDonalds + whoever's within 100 feet of you, you're handing it over to someone sketchy enough to run a Tor exit node.
The following things can both be true:

- a technology that solves coordination among untrusted parties can be useful

- the early usecases for blockchains are mostly profiteering and rent-seeking
Claim 1: bubbles are natural, that doesn't mean that underlying solutions are wrong, just that not all speculators are right or understand the problems being solved.

Claim 3: On a long enough time scale all discoveries are minor, this is what it means to always be optimistically solving problems at the beginning of infinity.

A lot of the answers don’t make any sense, especially the percentage of people living in NYC. I’d love to see both the methodology, know who and how many were asked, and know more about some of these actual numbers (does # people who graduated high school include kids under 18?)

Daytime napping and Alzheimer's dementia: A potential bidirectional relationship
You are right, here are the seattle FAQ on first qualified applications:

> Yes. The first-in-time requirement applies to duplexes and triplexes even if the owner resides in one of the units. The non-owner occupied units are considered separate dwellings, and therefore are subject to the Seattle Open Housing Ordinance, which includes the first-in-time
provisions.

The other two points where exceptions exists are for accessory dwelling units and (as I stated previously) when the owner lives in the same spaces being rented out, see http://www.seattle.gov/documents/Departments/CivilRights/Fai...

Now if the lady in question was renting out the basement, that might count as an accessory dwelling unit, and she would be exempt under Seattle rules (but this is in SF, so the rules would be different).

My guess is that as long as she doesn't advertise the unit (in the sense that she put it up for application), she can simply mention its availability to a small network that conveys it by word of mouth. It is impossible to legislate that kind of discrimination, there are tons of units that don't officially go on the market (via advertising on zillow, for example) but still get rented out.
Many comments here are criticizing folks for not using critical thinking and logic to reason about answers, but they're missing the point.

The point isn't that people are so badly informed about the state of their own country, it's why are they so badly informed, and what is going to be done to improve it.
> “Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.” We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish word for “free” as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis.

Taken from: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html

FSF and others have long argued the opposite of your comment: free is for freedom not gratis.
If Russia intentionally causes a Kessler cascade in LEO, I’m pretty sure it triggers Article V, and the orbits will be clear for centuries before the next launch.
I wonder if some misread that as wealth rather than income. I know I did initially.
London is the worst by far but there is a lot of Russian money floating around in other countries as well and lots of it was gained through illicit means and whitewashed in all manner of ways, including gifts to politicians and start-up investments.

I learned to program working on an emulator for an MMORPG called Ultima Online. Emulator was RunUO made with C# started with it in 2001.

I’ve always thought a cool course would be to teach programming with fun examples extending the game with new weapons , items, NPCs, etc
The problem with Pale Moon is it's effectively a dead end from a development standpoint. Yes, it gets security fixes from upstream (for which are applicable) but it doesn't receive much in the way of meaningful web compatibility (the elephant in the room being WebComponents, which none of the team have the capability of implementing in the current codebase). It's based on Firefox 52 and refuses to re-base on later versions, partially due to lack of XUL-based extensions and partly due to the introduction of Rust (which does not exist on some platforms which Pale Moon supports - including Solaris/Illumos).
Don't forget the authoritarian government of Italy. Italy had several competing political parties before fascism. They were basically outlawed but they were still alive when eventually Mussolini was overthrown at the end of a lost war 20 years later. Maybe that's why it worked for Italy.

At least with current numbers on account there is multiple governments involved trying to keep the value pretty stable overall. As that is best alternative in general for their politicians to continue staying in power. And other options are probably worse...

Modern monetary policies whatever they are exist for reason, things would likely be worse without them. And the big cryptos have no monetary tools...

How much is "a long time away"? Is a thousand years enough?

An almost planet killing asteroid hits us every 50 million years or so. Thus the probability of one not hitting us in a thousand years is around 99.99%. Certainly you are not proposing the great filter has a 99.99% survival rate? So talking about asteroids is absolutely a non-starter.

For comparison, I was talking about a filter with survival rates of around 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% (more a few zeros, but who is counting?). What odds you place on a nuclear war?
No, I'm suggesting they are non-citizens as well as agents of foreign adversaries. They are not entitled to much under our laws, especially in a time of war.
One of the biggest drawbacks for blockchain is that transactions can't be revoked after the fact (with the only exception being costly forks of the entire ledger), and there's no additional human oversight (like I'd get when sending a large amount of money through a bank) to protect me.

If someone steals my credit card, I have my credit card company to give me some level of protection. They can block transactions if they think it's stolen, and if I report it as stolen I can claw back money from fraudulent purchases.

If I purchase something and don't get what I paid for, I can contest it with customer service or my credit card company.

With crypto, a software flaw used to steal crypto can kill an entire company. They're largely powerless to stop it once the transaction has gone through.

With crypto, a xss attack or a misplaced password can cost me all of my coins.

With crypto, I have to triple check the address I'm sending coins to because I can't undo it.

With crypto, I have to spend what's sometimes a significant amount of money just to complete a transaction, and transactions can take minutes or hours to complete.

I think there's a future in crypto but we're in the dotcom boom days of it where most of the value is in speculation (and I suppose illegal purchases on the darknet). I'll wait for crypto 2.0.
Software is not more important than human life. I would rather have proprietary than Open Source if it's a choice between respecting human life or not.

When America goes to war with a backwater country that can't defend itself, nobody can do anything. We have the nukes, we have the money, we have the aid, we have all the cards. Even when we literally make up shit to have an excuse to go to war (for Russia it's "Nazis", for the US it was "Aluminium tubes"), nobody can stop it. Well, I want the right to say: "No, USA, you cannot use my software if you wage an unjust and unprovoked war."

Is it unfair to block a whole bunch of innocent people from using that software? Yes, I'm sure the families of the people your government are killing are quite upset that you can't use some software. However, if you want to use the software again, force your government to stop its war. Or use different software. It's not like anyone's holding a gun to your head.
As mentioned elsewhere, I'm not feeling sorry for the oligarchs. I'm appalled how easily we as a society are willing to skip due process, given a sufficiently evil sounding villain.
A lot of comments are coming down on the result as “the methodology must be wrong”, and I feel they are expecting people to give mostly reasonable answers. Except the target of the survey is perception, so just a mental image disconnected with any reality.

Perception is usually wildly off, in particular when affecting political positions, and as noted in the article that’s not the first survey to come up with similar results. The Ipsos one [0] has French guessing 30% of population as Muslims (vs 7.5 for reality) for instance.

I don't think this is unique to Canadians. Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the US the only country that makes you file your taxes in the home country no matter if you live abroad.
Single pane (if thick) windows, very loosely sealing; in recent years possibly open for fresh air even in cold months.

I grew up in a semi-temperate region that only had at most maybe a month of really cold temperatures each year. Those under-seat heaters were still very nice to be near and also helped to melt the snow and slush into just ice on the floor.

You should assume, from a heating and ventilation perspective, that the inside of a school bus is a mobile open air tent, but simultaneously also on the verge of being an enclosed space packed to the gills with people.
> Fiat currencies administered by competent central bankers have the attractive feature that their governance can be used as a tool to cool excesses and calm panics when the credit cycle goes through its inevitable revolutions.

No. Gold standard has none of the properties you told. Fiat currency is a disaster and evil.
Besides, it's also likely the only reason why cryptocurrency is drawing attention to anyone.

Yes, without any really careful data, I've guessed that electric could be cheaper. But already??? Really???? Or are we talking some subsidies???

So, in the OP, now I see:

"A 2020 study conducted by Atlas Public Policy for Washington state indicated that falling battery costs and rising manufacturing volumes should bring electric school buses within total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) parity with fossil-fueled buses by 2030."

Hmm ... 2030???

Then I notice:

"While most of its projects have started small, CEO Duncan McIntyre sees the Montgomery County project — now at 25 electric buses and set to expand to 326 over the next four years — as the model for the future."

So, from

100 * 25 / 326 = 7.669%

we're talking so far a little less than 8% of the fleet. So full EV (electric vehicle) has a way to go.

Now I'm wondering ....

Now I notice near the beginning:

"Billions of dollars of federal and state grants and incentives are flowing to U.S. school districts to help them electrify their fleets."

"Billions"? Now I understand!

Same as usual: (1) Always look for the hidden agenda. (2) Follow the money.

Next, the bus fleet is in Montgomery County, Maryland. I used to live there. Relatively wealthy place! Lot of money! Lot of interest in social issues! Close to DC, the main money pot!

Next, what's this with a fleet of 326 busses??? What the ...??? So many busses? Are they in the school business or the bus business? Sounds like could run quite a good school system just for the costs of 326 busses. In my school, grades 1-12, there were no busses. 97+% of the kids went on to college -- not a bad school system. The year before me, three guys went to Princeton and two of them ran against some third guy for President of the Freshman Class. In my year, MIT came recruiting. The guy who did go to MIT -- I beat him by a little on the Math SAT. Must have been an OK school. Kids got to and from school on their own, rain, shine, hot, cold, ice, snow, or clear. One good way was to WALK. Another was a bicycle. But, no school busses.

Want to save money on 326 Diesel busses? Good. Here's a way, and get to save on not just 8% of the fleet but all of it, and get the savings tomorrow and don't have to wait until 2030. Uh, and save $billions. How to do this magic, more amazing than anything electrical??? Easy: Junk all the busses. Done.

Lesson: No matter how productive the US economy might be from automation or whatever, various interest groups can get with government and waste the gains. E.g., there in Monkey County, a lot of the people were, likely are, living in apartments they RENT. They'd be MUCH better off OWNING a single family detached house.

Next, I just got a direct message from Darwin: The birth rate in Monkey County is less than 2 per woman. Sooooo, the population is shrinking. The people of Monkey County who want busses instead of schooling are going -- I have the word right here -- extinct. If the government were wasting less, there could be more motherhood, and the moms could work out how to get the kids to/from school without 326 busses.
Kolomoisky was a known financier and supporter of Zelensky, especially with the use of his media conglomerate 1+1 media, which was instrumental in Zelensky’s victory.

That being said, after winning the election, Zelensky supposedly successfully silenced Kolomoisky after Kolomoisky made attempts to speak out and started issuing recommendations on how the country should be run. This was something Zelensky did not like, as he saw it undermining his authority. Supposedly the two have maintained a relationship behind closed doors.
> If you disagree, then you must admit NFTs can be appreciated as art. If so, the argument of the OP is refuted.

This seems to be an object/reference mistake: NFTs (as we've been repeatedly told) are tokenizations of an asset, not the asset itself. You can tokenize anything, so of course there exist things represented by NFTs that are themselves are.

But NFTs themselves? They're not art, at least not until the Andy Warhol of SHA256 shows up.
