If you had the power to choose when to be born, you might also have the power to choose where to be born. In which case you might want to choose someplace other than the U.S.
There are few better places for social mobility than the US. If you are poor, but smart and ambitious, being in the US is the best thing that could happen to you.

The alt-text "The User's Avatar" is worse for accessibility than an _empty_ alt-text (not no alt-text, empty alt text). Alt-text is to describe non-decorative images that add meaning. The parent commenter is correct on how you would implement accessible alt-text here. In the top, your avatar is meant to to represent a link to your profile. That needs an alt attribute. The alt attribute should be the current user's na…
I see, thank you, I'll change them then.

No problem! Alt text is super confusing if you don't do it often, and there's a lot of untrue assumptions out there about it :) I highly recommend this page by WebAIM on it: https://webaim.org/techniques/alttext/
My first reaction when I read the title was to complete the sentence in my mind: “…and it sucks”. But I'm very glad I was wrong in my scepticism. This is freaking amazing on so many levels.

I used to live in Denmark. Ease of doing business -- well, there are good things (streamlined and transparent bureacracy) and there are bad things (taxes make you uncompetitive, especially if you plan to hire people). Access to capital -- can't even compare. Regarding social mobility -- well, you can live a good life in Denmark, but living great life is different. Janteloven is still very much a thing.
The DA14683 is fantastic. I played a bit with an eval. board and it's really good for it's price vs. features (~$3 for 250 pcs. at Mouser). But soon the idea of releasing code for it as Open Source faded away, since you need to sign an SLA ( https://support.dialog-semiconductor.com/connectivity/reques... ), that limits the way source code based on their in SDK is released (only to your customer, in an only “need to k…
