Sounds like the old definition was missing a lot of people with disabilities.

I don't think I disagree, and I don't think I suggested that couldn't be the case.

If you have better data, I'm sure the world would love to have it. The world, however, seems to agree the number is somewhere around 15-20%. World Health Organization: 16% https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets&

Dx out here required all those steps plus attestations from family and teachers, historical accounts, written narratives, a check in with the GP, bloodwork and blood pressure, and ongoing follow ups at least quarterly. Plus all that happens

> They said that 38% of successful students are unlikely to be disabled. Which is an unreasonable claim. I have a disability that impairs many aspects of my life. I was still capable of getting through college and am successful in my car

Have you gotten one of these notes yourself? It's not trivial. It's a huge pain in the ass, and everyone along the path is saying, "I don't believe you".

The "left handedness" graph change that occurred once we stopped punishing people for being left handed. Same sort of thing here. We'll stabilize once we get good at diagnosing it and stop stigmatizing it. We're in a per

The article is pretty clearly someone trying to drag disability on to the stage of the culture war because it's another group that's easy to other, imo.

That doesn't seem outrageously high for a high cap school? 15-20% of the world is estimated to have a disability. So Stanford population is high, but approximately double the average of a random global population sample. Now, think abo

Plenty of people have moral concerns with having children too. And while some might be doing what you say, others might genuinely have a moral threshold they are unwilling to cross. Who am I to tell someone they don't actually have a g

Some folks have moral concerns about AI. They include: * The environmental cost of inference in aggregate and training in specific is non-negligible * Training is performed (it is assumed) with material that was not consented to be trained

If that's making it difficult for you to understand the comparison, I can select another. I think most folks could understand the analogy, but I'm happy to accommodate you if it's unclear.

Hard agree. I work in digital accessibility, use Macs and Linux at home and work. It's unfortunate, but Linux is a long distance from how accessible Windows is. It's improving, but there's a ways to go.

It's not toxic to not offer infinite support for a platform you don't have familiarity with. Just like if you are vegan it's not toxic to refuse to prepare a meaty hamburger. Yes, a toxic version of this exists, but simply re

Better? No absolutely not. Capable? Without a doubt. I have a multi bay nas and it's like 1/6the the size of my pc case. My nas also makes removing and replacing drives trivial. There's a million guides online for my particul

Aster Tesla's service center tried to extort us to receive a safety recall appointment time, we decided we were done with them. We had a recall we called to try and schedule several times, and they always said, "we have no appoint

Microsoft's decision to push ai features into their OS got me to remove windows and install Linux this year. After gaming on windows pcs for 30 years, I'm now gaming on Linux and honestly, couldn't be happier.

Does most of the work to keep a Linux desktop developed? That's an incredible claim and needs a source. You might be able to convince me that most kernel developer impact comes from that community, but not the OS.

Weird to connect FileZilla and Mozilla, but leave out that both are presumably named after Godzilla. It's like going, "weird that they named it hemoglobin when it bears no physical resemblance to hematite!"

You see how that's worse, right? That both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to comply with the test can swing numbers, so choosing exactly one set of conditions necessarily benefits one group over another rather than creating an envi

IQ testing was recently found to be highly driven by response to difficult challenges, and could be influenced significantly by just tuning the rewards for participants doing well. Which suggests that measuring iq is a pretty fraught scienc

People using Linux as their desktop OS are using desktop Linux. What binaries they run on that OS doesn't change what OS they are running. You've developed a "No true Scotsman" definition for desktop Linux that seems fa

I think that's reasonable, but surely there's a limit? Like, if one user exists on an old piece of tech, does Debian need to support them forever? I think this is a nuanced call, personally, and I think there's some room for

Seems like you moved the goalposts pretty far... Consumers using Linux has shot up pretty dramatically this year, at least in my social circles. I count at least a dozen, non technical friends who decided to drop windows. That number has b

Don't do this. Don't put words in others mouths. I don't see anywhere where the parent comment said they only use software from perfect companies. They only asserted one company fell below their threshold of trust.

As a vegetarian on ethical grounds (mostly due to factory farming of meat) I politely disagree with your assessment. I have to decline and explain in social settings all the time, because I will not eat meat served to me. But I do not need
