Broadcasters generally have their stuff together on Closed Captions for non-live programming. However it is less clear if Netflix and other streamers have mastered the art or taking CEA-608/708 captions from broadcast sources and properly transcode them and stream them.
I can't figure out how the Congress has power to regulate private businesses and impose the ADA
The Constitution of the US, Article I, Section 8, Clause 3:[2] "[The Congress shall have Power] To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes;"
In general, as of January 1, 2006, all "new" English language programming, defined as analog programming first published or exhibited on or after January 1, 1998, and digital programming first aired on or after July 1, 2002, must be captioned by US broadcasters (with some exceptions.)
The FCC has issued Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on quality of Closed Captions, but as far as I know there are no formal FCC rules for quality yet, except for requiring broadcasters to provide contact information for reporting Closed Caption problems, and there is a web site to complain to the FCC as well.
Under the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010, the FCC requires video programming owners to provide video programming distributors of IP-delivered content with captions of at least the same quality as the television captions provided for that programming.
I'm an immigrant myself, and the 'correct process' took years.
So was that delay a good thing? How did the US benefit from keeping you out of the country for so many years? Would the US be better off if we just kicked you out right now?
Your delay wasted your time and money. It wasted the time and money of your employers in the US when you were not here to work for them. It wasted the time and money of the people who could have benefitted from the wealth you generated in the US had you been here earlier.
Immigration should be made easier. It benefits everyone.
"For DV-2013, natives of the following countries are not eligible to apply: BANGLADESH, BRAZIL, CANADA, CHINA (mainland-born), COLOMBIA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, ECUADOR, EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA, HAITI, INDIA, JAMAICA, MEXICO, PAKISTAN, PERU, PHILIPPINES, SOUTH KOREA, UNITED KINGDOM (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and VIETNAM"
You second link also is not much use to an unskilled Mexican without direct family in the US, except if an EMPLOYER is willing to fill out I-140 and wait 6-8 years to hire the employee.
Now what if that US citizen is actually qualified to perform the work of the foreign worker? The US citizen would make even more money and his increased earnings would also generate demand for that local restaurant who could hire a different US citizen. The economic benefit is actually greater.
So imagine if the foreign worker was going to work for free. Or perhaps a very advanced robot. And the company could now make things for less, and probably split that benefit between lower costs for the customers and higher profits for shareholders. Would that be bad?
Or what if that foreign worker just works outside the United States (for foreign companies) and competes with American workers anyway?
If I'm reading things correctly, you would start with Form I-140, which covers workers of a range of skill sets, including unskilled workers.
Actually YOU would not. An EMPLOYER fills out Form I-140. Each year, 10,000 people from around the world are allowed to immigrate into the US under an Employment Based priority 3 (EB-3), "unskilled/other workers". Each country has a quota as well.
Our unskilled Mexican's EB-3 will take about 6-8 years to be processed.
So all our unskilled Mexican needs to do is to find a US company that wants to hire him 6-8 years in the future. Then that company will vouch for him and fill out an I-140. 6-8 years later, they may get to hire him.
So practically, the EB-3 visa program is useless to an unskilled Mexican unless you have a friend or distant family in the US who owns a business.
As of July 2012, petitions for EB-3 "other worker" Visas submitted before July 2006 are beginning to be evaluated.
Since you're so happy with the crime rate I suppose you'll be the first to volunteer to replace Bryan Terry's position.
Perhaps you mean Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry who fired less-than-lethal rounds on people 11 miles north of the border, who then responded with AK-47 rifles provided to them by the ATF through project Fast and Furious.
Well, even I don't support socialist gun distribution to known criminals.
Moreover, if there wasn't drug prohibition, that gang wouldn't even exist, much less have money to buy guns (even at socialist prices).
I'd be glad to take Obama's position and unilaterally call off the war on drugs, and open up immigration for people who are not violent criminals.
If somebody from another country want to immigrate to the US to better their education or persue better opportunities, the i fully support you as long as you go through the correct process of obtaining a visa and or citizenship
So I am a poor unskilled Mexican with no family in the US. Please post the URL to "the correct process of obtaining citizenship"?
If you can't, than consider recognizing that for most people, there is no "correct process".
Ha, I mean real crime. The kind that actually hurts people. Being unable to move somewhere based on the location of your birth is not real crime, any more than being unable to move somewhere based on the skin color of your parents is.
If any police or military officers are being shot, it has to do with an unwinnable drug war, not immigration, even among our citizen gang bangers as well as our non-citizen ones.
In California, medical marijuana legalization has taken much of the wind out of drug gang profits, violent crime has also dropped dramatically.
Or maybe being white non-hispanic will be a sufficient proof of my citizenship?
Apparently not: "A German manager with Mercedes-Benz is free after being arrested for not having a driver's license with him under Alabama's new law targeting illegal immigrants"
"The helical phase of the OAM states remain coherent over vast distances, but the amount of energy that can be received beyond the Rayleigh distance with a limited-size array decays rapidly, as compared to free space attenuation, for all but OAM state 0."
Is it really a scam, or is it just that it can be implemented with MIMO?
The paper states "we conclude that communicating over the sub-channels given by OAM states is a subset of the solutions offered by MIMO, and therefore does not offer any additional gains in capacity."
All the practical implementations of OAM have been implemented with multiple antennas, so perhaps this is no big surprise.
That said, the OAM demos have gotten satellite folks to wake up, perhaps they need to consider more generalized MIMO solutions.
The truth is that most of your child's future was determined at the moment of procreation. The best thing you can do for your child is to mate well. Twin studies research shows that most of what you do after that (as long as you are not horrendously abusive) will have a minor influence on their adult selves.
Now there will be societal and economic limitations on your children based on your society, economy, and government. The highest-IQ kid born in the countryside in North Korea will not do as well as a kid with the same IQ in San Jose. It is best to try to change your society to one that has high levels of economic freedom if you want to give your child the best chance in the future.
Not quite Chem 101, but when you are ready for truly understanding the quantum mechanics of how molecules form from atoms, why molecules are acidic or basic, why they are reactive or not, you totally need to check out Prof. McBride's Yale Freshman Organic Chemistry (CHEM 125).
It is on YouTube, but the iTunesU version is better.
There are a lot of opportunities in signal processing (wireless, speech, and vision), and the math background would be an excellent differentiator. However she would need to learn digital signal processing, MATLAB for prototyping, and C/C++ for building fast signal processing systems.
The NSA will hire smart math grads for signal processing and train you up to some extent.

I agree with you - but the Supreme Court does not.
That said, broadcasters and YouTube does realistically fall into interstate commerce under most interpretations.

Yet, that still doesn't give me the right to sneak into her bedroom window in the middle of the night.
Well my daughter is an adult, and you don't own her house, so she should be able to invite in whomever she wants!

mainly because they are primarily a cash business.
Maybe they should simply be fully legalized so they can take credit cards and make a profit like normal companies.
Only problem is it raises the US unemployment rate.
So you are saying that bringing skilled people into the US will not generate additional economic benefits (which will employ more people)?
Maybe Sergey Brin's parents should not have been allowed to come to the US. Then we wouldn't have Google. Would more programmers be employed?
By your logic, if we kill all the programmers in the US, unemployment will fall to zero! Woo hoo!

Look at the crime rates in the border states and you'll find their crime rates are climbing like mad
You are being feed BS. There are no "crime rates climbing like mad".
"According to FBI statistics, violent crimes reported in Arizona dropped by nearly 1,500 reported incidents between 2005 and 2008."
If any police or military officers are being shot, it has to do with an unwinnable drug war, not immigration, even among our citizen gang bangers as well as our non-citizen ones.
In California, medical marijuana legalization has taken much of the wind out of drug gang profits, violent crime has also dropped dramatically.
rampant crime that accompanies illegal immigration
Illegal immigrants have a lower incidence of crime than US citizens.
By the way, cities with the highest murder rate in 2010 are New Orleans, St. Louis, Baltimore, Detroit, and Newark. None are in the southwest.
The Mexican drug cartels sell drugs to American citizens, so who are the real criminals?
Or maybe being white non-hispanic will be a sufficient proof of my citizenship?
Apparently not: "A German manager with Mercedes-Benz is free after being arrested for not having a driver's license with him under Alabama's new law targeting illegal immigrants"
"We can't possibly compete with a company in Asia that's willing to forgo environmental rights, worker rights, and human rights"
Then why is US manufacturing output near an all-time high?
It turns out that only low value-added manufacturing can be done by counties with low-skilled workers in bad conditions.
China is working up the scale of value-add, by their workers rising in skills, conditions, and wages, just like South Korea, Japan, and Singapore did.
Oh this kind of sucks though:
