> They're not testing the browser, they're testing the Web. That sounds like a pretty lame excuse. So if a self-driving car manufacturer does testing, they are not testing the car, they are testing the environment? Sounds like

Haha, did you evaluate this personally? I did a BeMyEyes test recently, trying to sort about 40 cans according to the existance of a deposit logo. After 90 minutes of submitting photos, and a second round to make sure it doesn't lie t

Blind person here. I can confidently say that vision AIs for navigating the real world are pretty much hype. It is a bandwidth and latency issue. Latency from camera to AI, and bandwidth from device to brain... Please, don't hype ac

Yay, "our users are our beta-testers" hard at work. How about devs evaluate a change by doing some testing , instead of using users as guinea pigs? I agree with parent, this is an awful approach.

Assuming you are actually from the US, your point feels a lot like system justification[1] theory hard at work... If close to 50% (or even more) people around you have moderate to serious weight issues, I can imagine how you end up normali

Tactonom Reader seems like an interesting multi-modal approach that is readily available: https://www.tactonom.com/en/product/tactonomreader/ In general, tactile graphics is a long-standing issue. In the pas

First of all, great that you seem to have a relatively equal situation. It reads like your wife is actually working. Good for you. However, your accusation is totally wrong and uncalled for. I know the name, but I have never read/he

"Bring back shame again" increasingly feels like something that would actually be beneficial in the long run.

I believe some resentment towards the elderly is unavoidable given the circumstances. Its unfortunate, but understandable. Looking at my own family, my mother inherited the family property after my father died. She has never had any offi

Those kids have parents. Maybe those parents should do some ... parenting? Besides, the "somebody needs to think about the children" meme is getting old.

Surely you are implying that everything in a "functioning democracy" can be solved by voting... I know a ton of pro-EU people that might want to have a talk with you...

I disagree violently with this bleek kind of attitude towards almost everything. Moderation is a skill that humans had to learn eons ago. Drugs (I think people that spretend alcohol is not a drug can not be trusted at all) are not particu

I am sure you know this, but rsync works perfectly fine without ssh. In fact, it has its own custom protocol for remote communcation. It can use ssh to talk to remote machines, but so can any tool via the plain pipe mechanism. Foll

rsync is no SSH tool. I get how that sentence emerged, but it is still a turn off, mixing up terminology like that for convenience.

32 years after my father died, I still only get 1.9x the pay he used to get for manual labour. Given that inflation goes roughly double every 20 years, its clear I am getting less pay then he did. I also had to leave my village, because t

Seems like a sensible decision, since you apparently couldn't be bothered to prepare properly. I totally have no sympathy for this story.

In a properly functioning democracy ... nobody without proof of citizenship should ever be allowed to cast a vote.

Well, given Burning Man has grown so big that it is becoming a turn-off for some, and the chaos of people getting stuck for days last year (or was it the year before that), I wonder if the real reason for people deciding to not go this time

Yeah, I slipped by not mentioning homosexuality. However, while we are at pedantry: Homosexuality isn't particularily a modern phenomenon either. So we both erred on the side of inclusive speech... However, it doesn't really ma

Let me expand a bit on this. I personally think it is a very bad sign for our society that we are about to outsource the responsibilities around caring for the elderly to (mostly) female workers from neighboring countries to save a few buc

That example actually underlines parents point. Because, yes, delivered food is convenient. However, at least in my experience, delivered food from a professional chef is always inferior to what I'd get if I actually visited the same

> The claim that all immigrants are right-leaning is a generalization. Yes, agreed. I probably saved a few words too much on that sentence. I should have thrown a "some" or "many" in there. OTOH, as a non-native sp
