I wouldn't consider myself an accessibility specialist, but I know a thing or two about it, specifically on how to deploy it strategically in a large organization (Fortune 500).

I'd say the lack of accessibility is not really due to indifference, much more likely it is plain ignorance. Most people know close to nothing about accessibility, worse, don't even know that they need to know.

There's also a technical perspective. Web tech in general is very low level primitives that you stitch together, not really a coherent higher order UI stack. This means that for any given goal, there's a million ways to do it. There's a stunning lack of UI elements but even simple elements that do exist do not truly enforce accessibility.

For example, there's no such thing as a tab component, so people build their own. It's relatively difficult to make it fully accessible. And that assumes you'd even know about accessibility.

Take a simpler element, the img element. I might not know that there is such a thing as an "alt" tag. I'm supposed to know but nothing enforces this knowledge, there's no standard education in web dev. Even if I do know about the alt tag, I might ignore it, as excuse I'll use "other priorities". Or I do use it, but incorrectly, which happens more often than not.

My point is that all of this is almost entirely dependent on personal knowledge and discipline, which is a recipe for disaster at web scale. We need better foundations.

That said, there's reasons to be hopeful. It's definitely getting more attention nowadays and the tooling ecosystem is rapidly improving.

Because Beyond Meat is overvalued right now.

- It's trading way beyond its revenue and losing lots of money.

- The McD partnership alone isn't going to put them in profit, nowhere close, not to mention McD are going to be suffering themselves (relatively speaking) over the next few years.

- People with plant based diets don't tend to be huge McD consumers.

- BM's growth has been poor over the last few years. A lot of meat eaters tried these plant based burgers as a gimmick during the initial hype, few continued to buy it regularly. Sure, there is a general growing market for plant based options but it's a slow burner.

- Even within that growing plant based market, Beyond Meat is expensive. It's a luxury choice. It's exactly the type of business I can see suffering over the next few years as disposable income shrinks.

They might be on a nice path for the future if you're thinking very long term, but in general these equity markets are placing the most weight on what's happening in the next 6-24 months, and in the next 6-24 months I can't see a bullish argument for Beyond Meat.
He's a geek who wound up running one of the most valuable companies on Earth. They made a movie about it.

jarenmf said "in science" - but it is an interesting question how much automated translation has helped scientists translate papers from other languages.
Yellen seems to disagree, although she said the two quarters definition is too blunt and the "official" definition, the one used by NBER, takes a much more broad picture of the economy.

"There's an organization called the National Bureau of Economic Research that looks at a broad range of data in deciding whether or not there is a recession. And most of the data that they look at right now continues to be strong. I would be amazed if the NBER would declare this period to be a recession, even if it happens to have two quarters of negative growth."[1]

I think maybe you're conflating "standardized fact" with "objective fact." A kilogram is a standardized fact, even though the objective weight of the object may change. We agree there isn't an objective definition of a recession; I'm saying that despite that, there is a standardized definition. And it isn't "two consecutive quarters of negative growth."

Doesn’t a Fed typically lower rates during a recession?

At least at some point, in order to bring a country out of the recession.

Responsive and accessible typography and why you should care
Typography is a silent tool that UX designers and developers can sometimes take for granted. There is much noise around this topic. Pixels? Are breakpoints enough to switch sizes across devices? Do we even need breakpoints at all?
But we can stop lying about the definition of a recession. Biden admin changing the definition to avoid loss political points is about as nonsensical as blaming inflation squarely on Putin. The disinformation needs to stop.
It's the haircut he sports these days. He looks much better in these photos. Just my personal opinion, YMMV.
Of course it's a recession. And while we're at it, inflation is way higher than whatever they are saying it is. Everybody knows it.

Why would people who drive 10-30 year old cars, and for whatever reason feel that they need an ICE car, vote against a ban on the sale of new ICE cars starting in a decade?

That doesn't even begin to affect their purchases for 20-40 years and even then, it still doesn't ban plug-in hybrids, that will be their best options for 10 year old cars in about 10 years time anyway?

It just makes no sense.

I'll be interested to see a blog post detailing the outage since, at least as of a few years ago, their architecture was pretty simple given the size of the user base. I'm hoping for something as detailed as the last big slack outage.
In other words, if it looks like a recession and quacks like a recession then it might be a recession.

And yes it much more complicated - especially it also depends on how much outside pressure NEBR has. I think there is a large pressure not to declare recession since we still have a high inflation and feds needs to continue raising rates.
AlphaFold is the best counterpoint to tech cynics.

One of the largest public tech companies in the world funded a multi-year scientific project, executed the research flawlessly and moved forward an entire scientific field. They then went on to openly release the code _and_ data, working with a publicly funded organization (EMBL-EBI) to ensure researchers across the globe can easily access the outputs.

I'm not arguing that every tech company is a net positive for humanity. Google itself isn't perfect. Google + DeepMind is setting a bloody high bar though.
There was no aspect of Covid where you could genuinely "make an argument one way or the other", or at least no aspect that was worth talking about. Any sort of "but this other point of view tho" dialectic was bad-faith nutcase reasoning, usually leading directly and measurably to more people dying.
I’m hoping by more projects adopting Bazel, we get more powerful libraries, and it becomes trivial to use.
Well then it should be f-ing NOTHING to stripe, and they should shorten their hold time. No doubt they, with all their supposed programming intelligence, can come up with a fancy algorithm that reduces their risk by 99% but releases the money within a week.
Whether or not we are "in a recession" will not change the underlying metrics. Whatever positives may exist, the agreement seems to be that on an individual-by-individual basis, things are not as good now economically than they were a year ago. Whether NPR or NY Times or WaPo (or the White House) calls it a recession or not is not what's going to drive people's behavior - their bank accounts, their mortgage and rent payments, and the price of food will.
He just has a really high hairline which frames his face in a way that makes it look very large. He'd probably look a lot better with a Bezos.
Punks vs. Posers
What you wrote certainly calls homosexuality controversial, but then immediately includes it in a list alongside violent behavior and drug use. Rhetorically, that equates it with the “bad” things.

Unless, of course, you’re trying to state that violence and drug use is “controversial.” But that isn’t clearly implied; you have to read much more into it in order to come up with that interpretation.

Meta officially cuts funding for U.S. news publishers
I think there's a little too much focus on the algorithm in these comments, and not enough focus on the content itself. The quality of content on Tiktok is just worlds better than anything on Reels. Reels is full of visually interesting content like hydraulic presses, food preparation, construction timelapse, etc. And that content is engaging for a few minutes, it's unique, it's fine. But it doesn't keep you coming back.

Tiktok has a rich mix of content that's silly, educational, political, impressive, sexy, etc. The amount of things I learn on Tiktok and bookmark is incredible. And Tiktok's features like stitches, duets, and shared audios make it really easy to keep a conversation going, letting creators reference each other async. Tiktok has its own unique multimedia language, using audio and visual composition to express memes. Creators choose the tone they wish to present a meme (eg use a joke audio like 'insert cash or select payment type' but pair it with serious commentary on how mental health professionals request payment at the end of a therapy session). That's why it's endlessly interesting and engaging, and to me that's the real 'secret sauce' that the copycats never can capture.
What percentage of people who walk into a business or go online to complete a transaction are able to send their payment via the lightning network compared to the percentage of people who walk in to do a transaction via Visa/Mastercard/Etc?

The issue is Card payments and the networks they use. Doesn't matter if lightning settles transactions instantly if the customer wants to pay with Visa and Visa allows funds claw back for ~180 days.

Normally a stores merchant account is kept open, so if a transaction is charged back a month later (and the bank and visa aggree with the chargeback) the money can be recovered from future sales. If the stores merchant account is closed because of "reasons" the payment provider can either use the funds the store has yet to cash out from the the payment provider as "insurance" against chargebacks until the deadline passes (at which case its safe to cash out) or start invoicing the store you just told to GTFO as a merchant to try and get the money back and then go recovery paths which is much more a nightmare for payment providers.

I'm not saying I agree with the polices, just that I understand why they are in place, the payment providers are just covering their own asses at the end of the day.
No one is saying we should instead all be walking around referencing literary texts in every day conversations (speaking of straw mans, trying to use an extreme counterexample to dismiss criticism...). It's possible to communicate without relating everything back to pop culture.

Their "crypto stuff" is opt-in and enables you to view ads, earn crypto and give it to content creators. I don't use it, but it's a cool feature to provide for those who want it.

Not sure what this means, but I'm learning Swift and SwiftUI right now, since i'm in the apple eco system and hoping i've made the right choice, because my time is fairly limited, being an adult in my late 30's and having a full time job, it does seem a bit of a mess though.
I've long wondered about doing online debates (which usually end up in shit throwing) where an independent moderator or bot detects and mentions fallacies.

But I think in practice it would mean no arguments would hold weight anymore.

Anyway, the main problem I think is not logical fallacies, but people not debating in good faith, and / or having a fixed opinion already. I did read about a trick, starting a debate by asking "What will it take to convince you?"; depending on the answer, you won't even have to bother.

I mean there's no debating with the anti-science movement(s) because they put facts into question, for example. I mean being skeptic is not a bad thing, but what will it take to get past the skepticism?

Or to put yourself in their shoes, what will it take to convince you that, for example, the earth is flat? (I mean it's OBVIOUSLY more like a dinosaur, but let's not go into that).

The average /lifespan/ of a car in the UK appears to be 13 years which I think means we currently expect half of cars to be used for longer than that. EV batteries apparently have 7-8 year warranties, I assume that's the result of a lot of careful consideration.

We can expect battery tech to improve in the next 8 years, and hopefully become cheaper, but a move to EVs could still drastically limit availability of cheap vehicles for those who need them.
I mean nothing is stopping you from skipping validation with pre-alphafold techniques and say for drug discovery to already do drug screening using the predicted structure. It's just the drug screening software is already error prone so you are still going to have to do some validation. However having an idea on a potential structure means that you can do other techniques that are simpler to validate it that are less expensive/time consuming (I'm thinking of things similar to FRET).

Another idea is these may come into play for anti-verification, so if you are drug screening against a known structure. You could potentially use these more flawed structures of proteins you don't want to target but may be similar, and try to reduce the drug's efficacy at binding them. Or something to that effect. All of that is fun ideas that are currently being explored in that space but we'll see where it takes us.

The problem with both designers and coders is that they never personally feel the consequences of their choices.

That's why each of us should routinely be doing a few hours of customer support for the thing you build. Very humbling and educational.
I mean, the problem wouldn't be any different if growth was 0.1 instead of -0.1, so it wouldn't be a definitional recession. So the problem would still have existed whether the term "recession" applies or not. The emphasis on whether or not we are in a "recession" was always completely misplaced.

The reality is that whether we saw negative growth or not, GDP is clearly contracting.

Which is not a surprise. And not only is it not a surprise, it's the intended effect of the inflation fighting efforts being undertaken by the Fed.

The Fed, or the government, has very little to no control over global supply chain issues, Russia going on a dumb war, and China shutting down massive parts of the country on the whiff of COVID, so the Fed is using the only tool it has available to it.

Which is completely slowing down the economy. Why are we surprised that the economy is slowing down when that's what we're trying to do.
I didn't say anything about it or alluding to it failing - I mentioned that there is LOTR content popping up at the same time as Elden Ring is getting traction. Your bias really shines through here.
Same. I've downloaded most of the documentation I need to answer day to day questions, and try to limit my use of search engines. Finding most of my answers is faster in the local references I'm familiar. The Internet is my last resort.

Does that imply proteins have some dynamics that need to be predicted too? I remember seeing animations of molecular machines that appeared to be "walking" inside the body - are those proteins or more complex structures?
I have the same problem. I have become immune to alarm clocks. Sometimes I wake up late, and notice that my alarm never went off, for a time I thought there was some bug with iOS until I realised that I was turning off the alarm in my sleep and not remembering doing so. Other times, I just completely sleep through the alarm.

The economy is such a shitshow of a political football that it’s starting to look like a “tulip” republic where you define your way out of tough spots and ever so forcefully avoid mention of the bad thing that would “influence” voters. I think it's a mistake, like it was a mistake to call inflation transitory.

It’s easy. Own up and start working toward solutions instead of sweeping things under the rug and worrying about non-essential politics. People are not that stupid.
Clickhouse benefits from the ability to get started as a single binary (and even includes a clickhouse-local binary to do ad-hoc analysis on CSVs on your laptop). There’s only one node type, as well. It’s simpler and easier in that sense.

Running it at scale is different. It includes everything you need, and it’s not horrible of course - but there are certainly a lot of sharp edges to be mindful of.

> Then we could use those two building blocks to design new proteins (drugs) that do what we want. If we solve those two problems with very high accuracy, we can also reduce the time it takes to go from starting a drug discovery programme to approved medicine.

Drugs are usually not proteins, but instead small molecules that are designed to help or interfere with the operation of proteins instead.
Thank you for using and posting it. :)
Of course! The term you might wanna start off googling is "curvature of manifolds". What's even neater than "3d thing curving in 4d space" is that these notions can be made precise also without the "in [whatever] space" part (see "intrinsic curvature" and "Riemannian manifold").

Most of them are not, just estimations based on previous results given sequences with known structure.

Every couple years there is a massive competition called CASP where labs submit previously unresolved protein structures derived from experimental EM, x-ray crystallography, or NMR studies and other labs attempt to predict these structures using their software. AlphaFold2 absolutely destroyed the other labs in the main contest (regular monomeric targets, predominantly globular) for structure resolution two years ago, in CASP 14.

https://predictioncenter.org/casp14/zscores_final.cgi

The latest contest, CASP15, is currently underway and expected to end this year. As with all ML, the usual caveats apply to the models Google generated -- the dangers of overfitting to existing structures, artifacts based on the way the problem was modelled, etc
