Hm, 5 year old journal, with the editor board, funding and half of the authors all from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but significant hospital contribution. I remain skeptical of the headline but hopeful of the science.
Yes! Prefers-reduced-motion is nice but was not developed for this reason and it is not enough to be following the rule but this hasn't specifically been tested in court yet.
It was made for people who get sick from things like parallax animations where big things move around, even with interaction. In the future that will have its own rule and prefers reduced motion will help pass that, but it does not help with this one.
Edit: to be clear, you could use it to help, but it's not enough on its own
Yes, unfortunately i think you've missed a few things.
Anyone can be sued for anything, whether the suit is successful depends on validity and damages
It would be difficult to prove damages in this case, but you don't need to sue anyone anyway
Only businesses and organisations serving the public are required to follow the ADA
The government, if it received enough
valid complaints and received a negative reply from a place which needs to follow the ADA might consider bringing legal action or enforcing penalties
Common practise does not exclude the possibility that something discriminates against people, which is why these rules were written
Sadly, the ‘G’ in WCAG is ‘guidelines.’ It doesn’t have teeth; there is no legislation around WCAG.
Used to be true. More and more government agencies are referencing the WCAG as the standard, and The Revised 508 Standards which sets the rules for government bodies directly pins it to WCAG v2.0. WCAG compliance has also been specifically ruled in various Title 3 cases, which sets the precedent.
But the US Department of Justice has the right to investigate and fine you up to $75k the first time, if it is determined that you are running a business or organisation in the US that provides public accommodations and you are discriminating against people who have disabilities and you could afford to fix it.
Good news, everybody! Turning your cremation ashes into diamonds is pretty close to being mineralized? https://www.lonite.com/cremation-diamonds-from-ashes they claim close to 99.99% ash carbon, but who knows.
1 patient, T2 since mid-30s and now 59, had kidney transplant 2017 after end-stage diabetic nephropathy and fucked glucose control since 2019. The successful cells were endoderm stem cells from him cultivated by mice they injected with his PBMCs that they then made diabetic. So not from cadavers (except mouse cadaver i guess), which is the actual new part here. Intrahepatic implant, and cells from unrelated donor failed that were embedded at the same time. His personalised mouse-donor cells worked well enough to take him off insulin 3 months later.
Lol. I've seen hot dogs sell here for US$13 (after conversion). The US doesn't understand how cheap their food is, even with inflation. The minimum wage for adults is USD$15.40 though (again converted) and we don't have "but it's OK they get tips so we don't have to pay them more than $2" shenanigans.
Fuck that paywall, but again the problem is largely how underpaid and exploited people are, not how much hot dogs have increased in price.
I once looked at a job listing for something with very specialist technical knowledge in specific programming areas, for a Japanese company based in Tokyo (pre-covid so remote wasn't really a thing yet). Pretty niche stuff and needed at least basic Japanese language skills too, so I assumed it would pay ok - even if it wasn't good or great in comparison with jobs where i was.
After conversion it worked out to be around USD$40k a year, which is probably just over 1/3 of what it would pay at minimum elsewhere. More like 1/4 or less for Silicon Valley type locations, but the rent for a tiny Tokyo shoebox is about the same price even if food is a cheaper. There was no way I was applying for that.
It isn't just about a weak yen, it's much more about hugely underpaying people.
