"Automatically generated captions were inaccurate and incomplete" Sigh. No good deed goes unpunished. Reminds me of this Louis CK bit: https://vimeo.com/69662

  The same way it owes people with disabilities the best parking spaces, loading zones, ramps, automatic doors, accessible restrooms, elevators, places to put wheelchairs on buses and subways, TTY phone numbers for essential services, the right to bring service dogs where pets are not allowed, etc. Mandatory disability accommodation is a huge part of our society. There can certainly be reasonable limits (for example, noncompliant buildings that predate the ADA were not torn down).

    > There can certainly be reasonable limits (for example, noncompliant buildings that predate the ADA were not torn down). And yet, here we are, with a building build after the ADA, that is noncompliant. It's too expensive to make it compliant, so the only legal option is to tear it down. While I understand the strive for equality, the destruction of information is a price that should not have to be paid in today's world.

      The question is why would you build a non-compliant building after the ADA, and what is a regulation if it's not enforced?

        Right. What was going through the head of the producers of those 20,000 videos, flouting the regulations for all that time.

  Apparently Berkeley doesn't owe us free lectures. It's definitely a crappy resolution to the issue though.
