Poorly run IT organizations certainly exist, even in F500. I’m telling you why it’s done, not that it universally is.

For the same reasons fortune 500s will spec the same for their office workers. Labor is expensive compared to hardware. It is often cheaper to spend a little bit more on hardware to avoid supporting multiple configuration, exceptions, more

Apparently not because you can’t even get a $2m liability car insurance policy in the US that I am aware of. Most top out at 500k and to get anything more you’ll need an umbrella policy.

Most US states require proof of insurance to register a car. Some people just cancel their insurance after registration, and others simply don’t register it.

You basically need to insure yourself when using US roads. Forget the ridiculous minimum coverage requirements, a huge percentage of Americans drive around with no insurance whatsoever -- 20% or more in some states.

The Miata is good at one thing which is being fun. It’s not good at being a car. Apple’s devices meet most people’s functional needs very well.

But that syntax is followed by predicting the next token. Even if it was instructed to write as if it were a robot -- it would ultimately be outputting what is statistically most likely for a human mimicking a robot, based on the training

You're anthropomorphizing in the same breath that you criticize anthropomorphism. Claude predicts the next token of the predominantly human training input, and humans use "I".

Unironically, yes. They are a government land-grant public institution that is supposed to provide services equitably to their citizens. They shouldn’t be pinching pennies to enrich their administrators. They should be held accountable for

I get frustrated watching soldering videos online because there are a lot of videos online of people who are really bad at soldering.

Flux can be hazardous too, even if your solder is lead-free. But in a non-occupational exposure setting you're not likely to have issues if you solder occasionally even with lead solder and don't take any precautions.

If we're talking about wheelchair access, the law is pretty crystal clear and every construction company in the US routinely follows it every time they build a public structure. Temporary structures are often built without code complia

Or maybe the designers of the booths could have simply familiarized themselves with the most basic of laws they were required to comply with before designing the damn thing with an unnecessary step.

The page lists some of the requirements, e.g. accuracy, completeness, equivalence in access, etc. The point of their pitch is that you can't simply tell your SWEs to slap automated captions on something, check a box, and call it a day

That's a problem with executive political appointees more so than the unelected bureaucrats. Career civil servants working in a regulatory capacity are typically very consistent experts who do a good job of taking vague shit that cong

Is the problem negligibly solved by technology or is it a huge compliance burden for public accommodations? It's one or the other. The reality is that many things are in fact not accessible in very real ways, and people like to preten

Nah, people with disabilities aren't an exception that can be safely ignored, they are real humans who exist and who deserve to be respected and accommodated equally by those who build public accommodations.

It was solely UC's decision to pull the lectures rather than comply with the 36 year old law that they were already well aware of but decided of their own accord to ignore. They never cared about being charitable, they cared about the

For many charitable activities it may be, but also, the University of California system has a 53.6 billion dollar budget. They could pay some people to caption them if they cared to do so.

The same reason the free sidewalks in front of Berkeley can fit a wheelchair. Because it is illegal to make one that discriminates against people who use one. Even if it's free.

The ADA isn't some surprise gotcha that crept up on any of these people, it has been around for 36 years. The problem is that 36 years later, people are still ignoring the fact that disabled people even exist. Whether or not we want t
