saved millions wasted on ADA compliance...if we simply paid businesses for serving these veterans in person.
It's not just veterans. There are people born with disabilities, and also the elderly, being our senses often dim as we age. (I myself am not fond of the dim gray fonts the young whipper-snappers have been using of late on sites.)
But the economic trade-offs are certainly worth a closer look. Some solid objective studies would be nice. As I said earlier, the law probably should be tuned for practicality. It would be knee-jerk just to end them completely without careful consideration.
Many organizations put fashion and eye-candy ahead of accessibility. Unless they are in the fashion or art business, it wouldn't kill them to select readability over gimmicks.
should be converted by the teaching assistants or student staff. Its just an example of a Liberal School not wanting to help people in need.
Hold on a sec. Maybe eventually they'll find volunteers or resources to assist in the conversion. In the shorter term they don't want to be sued so they are taking it down.
Our org is facing a similar issue. We publish older statistics for the public, but due to ADA-related issues, we are planning on pulling it off our site, instead adding a contact number for those wanting copies.
I do agree that ADA needs some practical adjustments, though. We don't need to throw the baby out with the bath-water. ADA has helped a lot of injured veterans.
Do you think anti-science is restricted to one party? The non-gmo labels on salt are really scientifically based, ya? Or the "organic" label that is totally about science and not marketing of legal words compared to laymen usage to charge more for cheap products to stupid people.
If the labeling standards/metrics are poor, people want them improved. Just because the metrics are poor now doesn't mean people want to keep them that way. Many also believe that poor labeling standards are better than no standards. Arguments can be made both ways on that.
Do you think racism is restricted to one party? Here is an experiment; set up social media profile as a black conservative and behold the "Uncle Tom" and "race traitor" comments!
I won't dispute that. Both "sides" have general problems they need to address. Note my original post said nothing about race.
It may have nothing to do with bits. It's possible the problem is a media player and/or driver compatibility issue or bug. I've seen where one media player/displayer can display an image or video fine, but another gags on it or distorts it. Probably a bug in the encoder and/or decoder.
As far as backups, make at least 2 copies. Bit-error-recovery schemes will usually require more storage space such that it's probably less hassle and more "insurance" to keep 2 regular copies rather than one copy with some fancy bit-correcting on it. Plus, in the future you may not be able to find a decoder for the fancy file encoder scheme.
You're not the sharpest tool in the shed now are you?
Maybe my brain has been poisoned by pollution.
By the way, one doesn't have to stay in one place. They could be poisoned in cities and move to the country to fit in with others like them. Maybe poison in the cities could mean more low-IQ migrants to rural areas.
your theory is flawed. I believe it's fairly common knowledge that people in areas with lots of pollution (big cities) tend to be far more democrat leaning that people who live around clean air (the country.)
I don't see what the proportion between the two groups has to do with my original point. Please clarify. The conservatives would be judging based on their surroundings mostly. How it relates to a different group somewhere else is a minor factor to them (unless they are taking a global outlook, which I don't believe you implied).
"Hygiene" may not just be about bathing and washing, but also defective equipment, like refrigerators with inconsistent temperature, washing machines with mold in them because they don't drain properly, toilets that only half flush, and corroding pipes that deliver tainted water.
Off the top of my head I cannot name any, but it's often "situational" things, like if a section is here, and another section is there, and the screen is between x and y pixels wide, CSS acts oddly.
I find CSS gets one about 80% of what one needs, but one has to use programming to get the rest, unless you live with half-ass stuff. (Or maybe there is a magic CSS trick I cannot find.) Plus, different browsers and browser versions implement CSS differently. Web UI's are a fucking illogical mess. Job security is the only reason I think of why people tolerate it.
If Adobe would have opened up the code, it probably would be a standard feature of all browsers. Instead, they just closed up shop.
Agreed. Flash was mostly coordinate based and thus far more consistent and predictable across browser brands, OS settings, etc., something the HTML stack fails at badly.
Designers loved Flash for that reason. Now they are stuck back at client-side auto-flow positioning, which makes UI and graphic designers prematurely grey.
Make it easy to use all cores? The last thing I want is for a web page to be able to hog all the cores on my machine.
Ad and eye-candy shovers would indeed try to use up every bit of it to make 4D dancing puppies drinking the new new Coke or whatnot. They won't optimize it because the problem is yours, not theirs.
NO!!! What we need is for people stop using scripting to turn web pages into applications when 99.99% of the time I JUST WANT TO READ THE GODDAMNED WORDS ON THE PAGE!
Much of it is marketing me-to-ism as people have to copy the UI fads of other sites to look "with it". A focus on logic, simplicity, and practicality of UI's and pages has been shot in the head point blank.
He intently took the pictures and intently tried to destroy them. 2 out of 3 acts you listed had intent shown. Distributing intent wasn't required since the other 2 acts were enough.
How close are we to the theoretical physical limits in terms of what electricity can do? Can light or some other radiation theoretically be significantly faster?
And there's also heat dissipation. Even if we could build 3D chips, heat dissipation will tricky. (Would we still call them "chips" if they were little boxes instead? "Borglets"?)
Does the quantum world offer significant potential improvements, or only incremental?
Are the current performance walls mostly limits in knowledge of how to tame and control materials and energy, or simply an inherent limit to how much energy can be controlled in a confined space?
Suppose one ignores manufacturing capability and designs a chip made up of any known substances. How much faster would it be compared to manufacture-able chips (based on simulations or calculations)?

Just pay them with a check having a dead digit in the bank account number.

Projection. Your counter-theory bad two unproven assumptions.
It goes through cycles.

Your family goes first.
Moderate conservatives have been a dying species since roughly around the mid 1980's. The nation has polarized since Nixon.

I'm beginning to think conservatives like pollution because it causes enough brain damage to make one vote Republican, expanding their voter base.
I know this claim will anger a lot of conservatives, but it's the best explanation I can find for their irrational behavior and conspiracy nuttiness.

The rest of your statement is pure speculation.
Lone voice? You hallucinate cheering crowds, like Trump does.
