  • Profile highlights blind Apple engineer working on accessibility tech

    Apple apparently has a fairly large accessibility team.    I believe it was the 2015 WWDC that had two engineers from the team go up on stage and do a presentation.   Pretty impressive and did real well when you consider that there was no visual clues to work with. 

    Frankly this his is an example of why I can't really support the LGBT community and their constant ranting about rights.   The fact is there are plenty of people that are born with more extensive birth defects that get through life just find.   Maybe it isn't a popular opinion right now but I really think the LGBT community needs to gain a little perspective.  The struggles they have are no where near what some people are saddled with.  
    People with birth defects don't go through life just fine; do you even know people that are deaf and blind? It is hard for them at times navigating in a world that poorly accommodates them, and working with the crap we call 508 compliant.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook calls for racial equality in light of US shooting deaths

    This is a huge problem but the establishment of the Welfare state didn't help the situation but rather it made the situation much worst. Frankly I don't really understand the African American community, at least that part of the community that has embraced the welfare state. It is a hideous creation of the Democrats, the public housing for example is just another aspect of slavery that the Democrats have always supported. The absolutely hilarious thing here is that the Democrates actually got people on welfare to willingly move into these public housing prisons. I'm not sure which is worst, the Democrats inability to give up their connections with slavery, or the gullibility of people that let them continue. I do believe ignorance is a big part of the problem.
    Public housing and welfare are supposed to be a stop gap. Many successful people have come from there. The CEO of Goldman Sachs grew up in public housing in Brooklyn. The difference is the family structure and education. More blacks need to get motivated, get up, get educated, and get a job or a business. 
    On aggregate, more whites receive public assistance than blacks; blacks do need to get motivated and educated, but it helps immensely if they don't get killed or harassed.

    Even though you've changed your profile pic, I still can't help but read all your posts in Trump's voice. 
    I think that I'll probably be changing it back again soon! We're all going to be hearing a lot more of his voice soon, perhaps for 8 more years!
    Oh Trump, who promises to be the best constitutional president ever, and to defend all the articles up to Article XII, yuge.

  • Take a stand against the Obama/FBI anti-encryption charm offensive

    pbrstreetgpbrstreetg
    I'm reading these comments and it's obvious that general computer science education is lacking. Making a breakable encryption is a factually dumb idea. Other comments like trusting the government (ROFLCOPTER) to securely escrow a part of a decryption key is beyond belief. I don't even know how someone can even imagine that unless it was a joke.
