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://…

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 …

> 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 capab…

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 …

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 avera…

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…

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 …

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 …

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…

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, …

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. Th…

Selling like 10% of your goal is a massive success?

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 severa…

Anyone left owning one will have a rusting chunk of glued together steel with no service and no replacement parts.

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 h…

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 fro…

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…

By an extremist minority, it is, sure.

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 benef…

We do know that response to difficulty influences performance in iq testing: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10990577/ This study found that adding or removing rewards for…
