I'm not disagreeing with you there, the term "accessible" has a wide range. But it would be inappropriate for a building to have some units with e.g. steps and some without. I'm no…

I've tried to request WAVs in various cities around the world (SF, NYC, LA, London, Portland, Paris etc) on both Lyft and Uber and the results are depressing. Overwhelmingly, if th…

Many people with disabilities who actually rely on protections afforded under the ADA would disagree with you. The ADA actually requires employers and other public places to make r…

I think that's the point - nobody has any idea what happened to these two Malaysia Airlines flights and /that's/ why they should be shut down. EDIT: to clarify, I don't believe Mal…

I didn't take it myself, but my (now former) classmates that took PMR told me it was one of the hardest courses they ever did.

This is called a Turing tarpit ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_tar_pit ): where a system is technically Turing-complete, but in reality is too awkward to do anything useful …

Not actually so surprising considering `$_GET` is a PHP superglobal.

That's not what was said. OP said it's not about fundamental science, which is somewhat true. Nuclear weapons research isn't fundamental, although it does require some fundamental …
