You left out the part immediately before that.
"The number of developers who specifically work on accessibility tools is quite small. For example..."

"Seriously, that gets brought up regularly. The problems start when you start considering 'who' we need fewer of. People have a tendency to assume there will be fewer of the 'other' people, but we'll keep the population of 'good people like me'."

The solution is "simple". We just need to make the entire world prosperous, make birth control freely available, and convince major religions to stop preaching that more children is a good thing. Given all three (and in some cases even just two out of the three) population turns out to be self limiting. In one of the cases where the free market actually does seem to get things right, if having more kids is a net loss (as it is for 1st world Americans) instead of a net gain (as it is for people living in a manual labor based agricultural community) then families make the "correct" decision to have fewer children.

The tricky part is of course how to achieve the above. And how to achieve it in a way that doesn't doom the Earth before the population can naturally correct itself. (If we could magically give the entire world the kind of lifestyle Americans, or even Europeans, enjoy now with all the same energy and natural resource requirement, the results would probably not be good.)

Ideally between green technology and automation we can figure out how to make a good lifestyle available in a cheap and sustainable manner. And then we need to learn to let everyone share in that lifestyle instead of requiring people to find jobs that are no longer available, because in the long term the cost of letting everyone share is a lot less than the cost of the social disruption of diving the world into haves and have-nots. I'm a lot less optimistic about us figuring out that second part than i am about the first.

Le sigh. "Flamebait".

My point is that you are soliciting files. "Send me files", you say.

They just now figured out that files might be infected?

Ah, but the only church that anybody wants to separate the state from is the Christian one.

The city is run by Democrats and African Americans, and has been for a very long time. The police are run by the city.

They are messed up alright. but it isn't "racism".

And yet here you are.

Looting and smashing things is not "protest".

It's a Word doc. This has always been a "vulnerability". You are soliciting Word docs, for heaven's sake.

"Please send me files, which like all files, might be infected" is not a "cyber-attack".

I'll let all the guys doing web pages know. I guess we'll have to figure something else out.

I expect it will be at _an_ edge of consuming and creating, though perhaps not the _leading_ edge as they'd like us to believe.

First we had "Company gets Kickstarted, then fails."

Now we have "Company fails, then (attempts to) get Kickstarted."

While you do have a good point, I think that any disaster that requires ham radio for communication would also likely have taken out the local power grid leaving consumer power line networking inoperable.

I know virtual is cheaper, but since a little social revolution in the 1970s, how exactly is everything going to be virtual? You'll still need buildings and someone to supervise the kids.

Ah, OK, finally read the fine article. That is what he's saying.

So let me see if I understand the current beliefs of the trendoids. Homeschooling is evil, but $15/hr techs can supervise 50+ kids they have no personal stake in, and facilitate all learning from YouTube. Got it.

The agenda? To blame it on Bush, not the ruling party of the last six years. Or did you miss that little almost subliminal bit?

Riiight ... China doesn't have noteworthy censorship, because Fox News.

And you actually think that it is the Fox News viewers who are sealed in the ideological bubble, instead of yourself. Amazing.
