Underwater cables being used for parts of the internet is not the same thing as “internet means wires.”


That’s not quite right. Projectors make headlights less blinding. It would be worse if we still used basic reflectors. Also, not all vehicles use expensive LED headlights.
Back to your original argument: you aren’t saying you think an IR HUD would be less complicated than a cheap halogen bulb in a projector, are you? Because that would be rediculous.


There’s a lot more that goes into to than you think. A camera and HUD will never be as cheap as a bulb and a reflector.


Of course the cost would come down (slightly) if a new tech goes mainstream, but you don’t think an IR HUD could become as cheap as regular headlights, do you?


I’m still not sure we’re in agreement, but maybe we are? I’m saying the US auto market has never had enough influence to block a cost-effective safety feature from appearing on foreign markets. Another person pointed out that the IR HUD was used on a luxury car and the high cost probably prevented its widespread use.


Are you correcting my post or yours? I was speaking in the past tense.


I think you’re over estimating the amount of influence the US auto market has had.


A German auto company isn’t going to pull a safety feature from the EU, South American, and Asian markets just because it’s banned in the US.


Was it banned in other countries too, or is there some other reason it isn’t used?
The same skills used to develop free software can be used to earn a lot of money making corporate software. The same is true for other professions: they can work for an employer, be self-employed, or volunteer their time. The analogy fits, and we all need to earn money to survive.
Exactly. No one expects free work from carpenters, artists, chefs, etc. But for some reason it’s fine to demand things from free software devs?

Same here, and I think it was also obvious to Jeff (from the OP), but I’m glad he bought one because he’s in a position to raise awareness of the issue.


Wow, that looks really good! I like the labels on each server! Are the 3d printed parts custom or did you find them online?


Look-alikes and doppelgangers have been around for longer than AI has, and so have conspiracy theories about famous people being replaced by body doubles. They could replace a famous person with AI, but a body double would probably be more convincing since they could still make public appearances.


You seem to be shifting the goal posts. None of the articles you linked to are about deficiencies in the ADA - in fact, your first link says this about it:
This act was so influential in improving challenges experienced by PWDs that its anniversary is celebrated annually through Disability Pride parades; these parades are typically held in large cities such as New York City and Chicago.
I never claimed America does more for disabled people than other countries. There are a lot of ways that we fall short. But when it comes to the ADA, it exceeds everything I’ve seen in foreign countries, and I’m proud of it.
I also understand that Denmark has laws that require a certain level of accessibility in public buildings. I never denied that, but I still maintain that their requirements are not equivalent to the ADA. So for, they seem to be inferior.


This article makes it sound like Denmark does, on occasion, flip the bird to disabled people. Can you share any counter-evidence that shows Denmark has a law that’s equivalent to the ADA?
The core issue is political and structural. Responsibility for disability policy is spread across multiple ministries with no coordination, long-term vision, or accountability mechanisms. People with disabilities and their families navigate a patchwork system that often fails to meet even basic needs.
This affects every aspect of daily life. Healthcare access remains unequal. Public transport and housing are not fully accessible. Participation in cultural and democratic life, including voting, is limited for too many. Even Denmark’s emergency preparedness plans overlook people with disabilities, leaving those who rely on electricity, medicine, or personal assistance uncertain about how they would manage during a crisis.

Your attitude is off putting, by the way. I’m glad most people I’ve met in Europe are more pleasant than you’re being.
