Just a big caveat for slide #36: > SVG text is fully accessible, searchable, selectable and 100% semantic. Only if you don't convert the text to paths, which is really really common in the wild because someone wants a specific font

By your logic, the states that have legalized recreational marijuana should all be failing right now. Oh and if you were specifically talking about all drugs, Portugal decriminalized possession in 2001 and it was a staggering success. ( htt

Eh, that's just your assumption. It's a guy in a fine neighborhood going to the store after dinner. For all we know the store is (excuse the pun) deserted at that point.

I really don't like the whole AJAX thing they did after they went down. Now if I visit in a text-only browser (w3m), I just see "[sping]" (the alt text on their spinner). Kind of sad for a static website, especially a wiki.

If I remember correctly, doesn't Apple's Siri get trained to your voice so other people don't activate it? It only seems appropriate for Amazon to make sure only specific voices are associated with purchasing rights or else k

Their estates for one. Also these media are still popular and still get restored/remastered/re-released so as long as they are profitable copyright holders will care.

Do people really believe that flying cars would solve traffic? Now all the traffic is in the sky! And thanks for ruining everyone else's view with your cars. Not to mention flying cars would be extremely hazardous depending on the heig

My guess would be because of semantics. The plain version is the character itself used in text. The squared version is a specific symbol used in television for "designated hitter". It's the same reason that there are unicode

Wow that's blatant discrimination. Hasan himself put it best in the email: > Your reason for querying the authenticity of my name seem arbitrary and unfair. Discriminating against non-familiar names begs the question: non-familiar t

The interesting thing about Quora is that it has a lot of personal anecdotes directly from people involved. That's really unfortunate considering all the dark patterns and user hostile design the site utilizes. Along with their registr

Looking at it from a Cornell point-of-view, the most innocuous reason I can think of is that they want a canonical library of papers that others can mirror rather than researchers having to search each individual university's arXiv. If

This is a ridiculous statement. You are not entitled to free speech on a private website. Downvoting is not censorship; not every comment is privileged to be at the top or completely visible. I agree that flagging is abused at times, but it

In your Beverly Gray example, it's all one editor who did not seem to realize that there is a preview button. The sad part about that is that Wikipedia has a WSIWYG editor called VisualEditor so maybe using that might have helped avoid

Yeah unfortunately I have to agree that the workflow just isn't there yet. (definitely a chicken-egg aspect to it) I can kinda see why, editing SVGs is completely different from editing raster images. (the former is pretty much code) T

In an ideal world this wouldn't even be necessary. This just speaks to the sad state of image format adoption and workflows. Every browser supports basic SVG. SVG text can be read by screen readers, indexed by search engines, found in

That was a historical photograph, not "hate speech or bullying". Also, how can you say "eradicating hate speech and bullying can also end up getting rid of speech with valid political dimensions" with a straight face?
