It appears that this is just the Verge helping Reddit push PR because they (the Verge) did not bother contacting r/blind for information or the developers of the apps that they listed. It also appears that Reddit hasn’t done the same either.

===

Regarding the [June 7 article on The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/7/23752804/reddit-exempt-acc...), r/blind was not contacted for comment on the new development.

We have not had clarification on Reddit's definitions of "accessibility focused apps" or any process to determine apps that qualify.

There is no clarification on "non-comercial apps," given the current model of the apps listed by The Verge.

We have strong concerns that Reddit lacks expertise to consider the varying access needs of the blind and visually impaired community.

We have reached out Reddit for further comment.

We would also like to note that r/blind, u/rumster in particular, have continuously contacted Reddit over accessibility concerns, over the past 3 years, having received no substantive response.

As added support, while the article mentions Luna, I would like to contribute that I have not been ccontacted in any way by Reddit whether that is in regards to this article, or the changes as a whole.

It's interesting to read this. My experience is completely different, but I'm Dutch and tend to read either Dutch or online media. And online media mostly in the tech sphere. Everybody is pretty positive about Snowden, and more objective about issues like "quiet quitting" and working from home.

I think there's something really fundamentally wrong with US media. And not just with Fox News, but with all of them.

Everyone is biased. Some of other popular sources that people like to cite are biased through their financing of which the fossil fuel industry and other special interest groups (e.g. the automotive industry) are providing a lot of.

I think with electrek.co, their bias is pretty obvious and they are pretty open about where they stand. But I must say that I find them mostly very informative and factual. There's actually very little need for them to spin optimistic stories when the day to day news is basically very positive already. Just a constant stream of records being broken on investment, clean energy production, new breakthroughs, new products getting to market. There's no need for them to invent or spin any of that.

You find the lies and deceit more on the other side where people try to spin myths, twist facts, etc. in order to convince people to keep on buying their oil, ice cars, dirty energy, and all the other stuff that they are peddling. Some of that stuff is blatantly obvious; desperate even.

The IEA for example is indeed notable for having made a lot of projections over time that were more than a little wrong. And probably intentionally so.
Thanks!

I still wonder why that costs up to $30M though ...
As I've said, I'm coding and I understood perfectly the code of the devs I was working with, and yet, what OP said correspond to what I have observed sometimes.

This demonstrates that your logic "OP reaches this conclusion, so it's the proof that he does not understand the code, which is the problem" is wrong. If this logic was true, who do you explain that someone like me, who clearly understands the code (I've reviewed it, I've modified it, I've put stuffs in production integrating with their system, ...), agrees with some of OP's considerations?

When reading your comment, it is difficult to not be drawn to the idea that you are one of those persons I was mentioning, who are not understanding other employees needs and point-of-view and who interpret systematically any communication failing as "the other person's fault".

The SEC does answer to Congress. Are you saying that they should go get congressional approval before each and every enforcement action? If so, nothing would ever happen because Congress gets nothing done. They’ve suspended voting for the rest of the week due to infighting within the majority party.

Back to Binance, regulators are alleging that Binance commingled customer funds in offshore accounts, according to NYT. One pattern that seems to emerge consistently is that the anti-regulatory and anti-banking sentiment among these companies leads them to be careless and disorganized about their business operations, we saw it with FTX.

A lot of those accounting control and financial rules exist to prevent things like fraud and tax evasion, and it’s no surprise to see companies that try to get around the rules committing fraud and tax evasion.

This has zero to do with “numbers in a ledger” and everything to do with “you’re taking in billions in customer funds, and it’s our job to ensure that you’re not going to fail in a way that harms the markets.”

UK driver takes Uber to employment tribunal again after Supreme Court decision
A former Uber driver who took the ride hailing app all the way to the Supreme Court has announced that he is planning to sue again, The Standard can exclusively reveal.

James Farrar, who achieved a landmark Supreme Court ruling in February 2021 declaring that Uber drivers must be treated as workers, rather than self-employed, is heading to an employment tribunal in late June.

Mr Farrar, who turned up to Uber’s press conference on Thursday in central London to protest for better rights, claims he has refused to accept a settlement and sign a non-disclosure agreement following the Supreme Court decision.

He wants a judgment to be logged that dictates exactly how Uber is allowed to define and calculate a minimum wage for its drivers.

“Uber unilaterally decided that driver costs should be assessed at 45p per mile back in 2021. We've never accepted 45p as a true reflection of driver costs,” said Mr Farrar.

“Fares in London have been around £1.40 per mile. We say they should be £2.50 per mile. Realistically, we are looking at costs of £1 to £1.50 per mile.”
I actually can see the MS perspective of not allowing applications to directly modify the default application for a given purpose. If apps can never do it, it removes some amount of vulnerability from OS. Applying fixes to block applications that work around the OS’s safety features seems valid to me. In this case, I don’t think I could reasonably claim this was MS’s concern/intent in breaking Chrome’s default app button, I’m only saying that I can imagine legitimate reasons to do purposefully do that.
I don't care if I get down voted for my opinions on the internet :). My view on it is simple... The way the current internet is set up, it'd be really difficult to make these types of projects profitable.

Even if you make more laws, it'd be super hard to find people violating said laws, and even harder to bring them into court as a company struggling to get started. Big and even medium size companies play these games all day.
Musk has been claiming since 2018 that Teslas sold at the time have all the hardware needed to be fully independent driverless taxis. He made this claim very very clearly in conferences and marketing materials. And Teslas sold at the time only had cameras.

That he later may have changed his tune is probably true, as reality does eventually catch up even with someone like him.
Thought inducing observation, where we understand chemistry of our brain as something maluable by exercise and habit creation.
I would have taken a different stab at this idea by proposing that the "new revelations" which appear in hightened state of consciousness, are our prior experiences boosted and unfiltered, allowing for previously weak and seemingly unimportant ideas, to be manifested and actually recombined into actionable items.
Our opinions are verified in a dream-like alternative reality and if they are actually as profound as they seemed in that dream, then we turn them ibto actions even unconciously.
Stupid question but I’m out of the loop here. What’s the main beef with the Reddit site and app? Is it just accessibility and moderation tools or something else?

I do use RES in desktop, but I mostly use it via the official mobile app these days. I used to miss old.Reddit.com but now I’m rather indifferent.
I love this response. It summarises some issues I've experienced before and phrases them really well. It's one to bookmark for reference in the future.
> I wanted to separate the type, the trait and the implementation of the trait in different crates.

I usually put the traits in a separate crate, but keep concrete types and implementations for them in the same crate.

What is the use-case for splitting a type and it's implementation into separate crates? (except for cases where the trait or the type are out of your control, then one indeed needs to use the new-type escape hatch)
car? cdr? bye!

>how much more we can do it we meet together once in a while

The operative phrase here is "once in awhile". I agree that there is a need for teams to be in-person at times. But somehow that translated to everyone being in the office 3X a week last year and now that's turning into a push for 5X a week at many companies.
Heard my daughter using the n-word for her school mates (they ain't black) - they all listened to rap music and obviously our schooling system don't cover American history i.r.o slavery.

Had to explain to her why it would not be good idea to do that in the US.

I never believed in the idea of embracing an offensive word and somehow "taking out the sting" like rappers did.

We have a similiar word - the k word for blacks - it is fortunaly banned and if you used it on social media you clearly identify as a racist.
1. MUI, Chakra, Bootstrap

2. Elderly appearing/Generic appearing, or PRO locks certain components. Inconsistent components between mobile/desktop. In particular the "scroll tags" on mobile don't tend to look nice on Desktop - it's hard to easily switch out for a desktop-suitable UI.

3. It's a minor problem I wouldn't pay for, but a library that overwrites font awesome v4 icon references to more modern icons would be great, the icons show aging. Likewise if there was any way to have fallbacks for icons (e.g. having developed for over a decade, I confuse icon names between frameworks.. would be great if there were more synonyms or sensible synonyms or something higher tech). Also, few support animations as components, which I feel should change soon as GPT is making it trivial to generate fairly good animations. Not sure if design will trend this way though.

4. Looking good. Not changing with updates.

5. Will it price us with a license? How different does it look (code) to what we usually use? Close enough or less code? Great.

> TRT World explained the decision in an article earlier this year, saying Googling “Turkey” brings up a “a muddled set of images, articles, and dictionary definitions that conflate the country with Meleagris – otherwise known as the turkey, a large bird native to North America – which is famous for being served on Christmas menus or Thanksgiving dinners.”

Ha, so yeah it seems like that's definitely a part of it.

MTBE/ETBE is banned in many places due to groundwater contamination. But ethanol-less gasoline wouldn't be a disaster either, it would mean the refiners would have to do more processing (alkylation, reformation etc.) to increase the octane of the gasoline, which would increase costs. But OTOH without an ethanol mandate there might be less cost via agricultural subsidies etc., so it wouldn't surprise me if the total cost to society would be less.

There are also some other octane boosters that could be used (which aren't environmental disasters like lead, or arguably corn ethanol), like aromatic amines.
What if some of the premises of your thought experiment aren't true?
The issue is not so much that it's cellulosic as that it's lignocellulosic; we have a pretty good grasp these days on cellulose (and hemicellulose, but we can handle that too so I'll skip over it). Lignin is (oversimplifying, but not by too much) what makes the difference between soft paper pulp and hard woodchips. The lignin crosslinks the (hemi)cellulose and makes it much harder to access for the enzymes we'd use to break down the cellulose, while itself being very difficult to break down (it's thought that the whole reason we have coal is due to how long it took for fungi to evolve the enzymes needed to break down lignin effectively in order to degrade wood).

You need a bunch of equipment and/or biochemical processing to break down lignocellulosic plant matter into something that can be efficiently fermented (keyword: "lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment"), so while thay may be available at a lab scale, it's not necessarily possible on an industrial scale (yet).

As one example, there's a method called "steam explosion" where you apply very hot (around 160-260 °C) and high-pressure (tens of atmospheres) steam to the biomass, then release the pressure relatively fast. The hot steam causes chemical reactions like hydrolysis, and the pressure release breaks down the material physically as the steam expands. Imagine the sort of equipment you'd need to do that on an industrial scale. Nowhere out of reach for modern chemical engineering, but someone has to build it.

Now, as you might imagine from how relatively non-woody switchgrass is, it doesn't have a ton of lignin compared to trying to ferment woodchips, but it still has enough to be problematic, and in fact there's research being done on how to reduce its lignin content, such as by genetic engineering.

But what if overall the productivity is higher ?
It’s not football. The parties will balance, sure, but the policy, uh, hyperplane will have shifted.
Training a junior or helping a collaborator is everything but loss of productivity.
> IMO you lose so much more by sacrificing spontaneous conversation & ideation that results.

Lots of people say this, but I just don't see it. In every office I've worked in in the past 20 years none of this really happened. It was 99.9% distraction. It's trivial to hop on a meeting with close collaborators or even non-close ones to bounce ideas off of. It's a mask argument for FOMO and the desire of those who simply prefer that environment for various non-collaborative reasons.
You make it sound like it's the only solution but you don't *have* to work remotely from your home. You can rent an office close to your house.
The problem was the centralization of a certain brand of tech. If they had started making semiconductors in 1 or 2 other places in America this wouldn't have happened.
Really depends on the stage of the project and nature of the work. Also, on the individuals.

Being in the office mostly means you can afford to have less gems because you know you'll spend more time in person walking them along.

I favour some WFH/Hybrid setup, personally. And I view a lot* of this new office push as mediocre managers being unable to leverage their talent.
That's even worse than I thought, perhaps another edge for Signal to introduce something similar here before WhatsApp gets there and takes even more mindshare.

The entire sector suffers from a lack of "show me the code". I absolutely agree that right now the gap between the science fiction stories and LLMs is quite huge.
You can't work remote as if you were in-office but just have conference calls now. You need to restructure communication and norms a bit, but if you do it can completely address all the thing you brought up.

As a thought experiment, if I use BTC as the unit of account, then the prices of all the stuff I want to buy denominated in Bitcoin vary wildly from month to month.

And if I choose a time frame of, say, 25 months or 19 months instead of 4 years, my savings lost more than half their purchasing power, which is far worse than anything QE has done to cash over equivalent time frames (ironically over a timescale which has been exceptionally bad for cash and exceptionally favourable to a notional "safe asset" alternative)
That's an insane salary for Spain, and remote to. Can I ask how to get such a wage there?

> Nuclear is an ideal green solution for the fossil fuel industry.

Nuclear proponents use the same claim against the renewable industry.
There isn't much to learn about it, besides the fact that the fossil fuel industry is a bogeyman for both.

It's not a great point, especially when, rather than donning your tinfoil, you can just look at where funds go.
Yeah. One of my favorite things about working remote is that people can't do this to me. It's a feature, not a bug.
I think this is the crux of why people have such disparate estimates of remote productivity.

Senior folks seem to experience more upside and less downside being remote whereas junior folks seem to experience more downside and less upside.

Depending on the makeup of the team, one or the other may be net more productive even if you yourself feel less productive. (It may also depend on whether your company sufficiently acknowledges and rewards the work senior folks do unblocking and mentoring others.)
Yes it is. There are quite some studies where the sample size is 20 or 30 people per group, and sometimes even 15-20 in total.

Combina that with the fact that they often use psychology students as experiment group and the fact that most research doesn’t go further than assume a normal distribution, and you might start to understand why more than 2/3rds of all psychology research cannot be reproduced.
There are definitely cases in which this is true -- yours, for example -- but I imagine Google has done the math on this.
I think it's worth a little self-reflection on the part of the rest of the commentariat here about why someone would ask that we leave them alone. It's hard for me to see this as anything other than spite, in a situation that needs a little bit of grace.
You need to mine in order to produce solar power as well. If you take mining into account solar power uses more than 73 times land than nuclear per MWh produced[0]

You sound like you've fallen for the right-wing media propaganda. That is propaganda too. Even more blatantly so, perhaps.
