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 appreciate you
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.
For sure, I just get antsy when peer review doesn’t come from from external sources
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.
It’s good news, but you’re entirely correct that the article missed the point entirely. Thanks for the crash course in islet cell therapy!
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.
Looming? Sudan is past the looming stage. When do known verified atrocities reach “current reality” status?
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.
Yes, unfortunately i think you’ve missed a few things.
I think that about covers it
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.
There is still lots of legal ambiguity around accessibility, but the ADA definitely looks at web accessibility and WCAG when something significant is brought to its attention
Ok! You have the right to do that.
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.
Lots of rights for everyone! It’s so nice.
Correct and nicely sourced!

Sounds great for daily driving. But you’re still free to open another browser at any point to test!
No problem! I really appreciate you making any effort to include all of your audience.
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
It annoyed me that I couldn’t see the whole statue. It’s just a statue of the local general but another part of the inscription was also interesting:
THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER WON AND IS ENTITLED TO THE ADMIRATION OF ALL WHO LOVE HONOR, AND LIBERTY.
Uh huh. From a monument built 50 years after the war ended. Physical copium.
They really shoehorned the online aspect into that article. If you just add the phrase “including cyberbullying” to any reference to all bullying, you too can write an article about online trends that distances your target reader demographic from feeling culpable for a huge long-standing cultural problem.
All the time. If it’s a company I dislike and I see them advertising on Google, I know I’m costing them money. Google uses an auction house system for ads, so common words can have a lot of competition. You could be making that company pay a dollar or more for that click, and at the same time contribute to a headache for their marketers who are keeping a close eye on their cost per click and customer acquisition costs.
Yeah, google wins in this scenario too, but there’s not much I can do about that.
