Of the world via the tech industry

Hilariously, the Blind app, an insider information app for Silicon Valley, is not accessible to screenreader users.

The laws can be said to be written in small print text by people who increasingly have a google skimming literacy in small print text.

Inclusion is important.

If you are going to move towards inclusion based on the law then it would be a good idea to start by including folks who have traditionally only been left out of the law based on the smallest increment, like that they can't read it and are thereby less likely to be included in the process of law making.

Businesses like proactive, hacky, money-making and money-saving solutions.

Artificial intelligence has hit a watershed moment coincidentally with Microsoft's release into the blind community of a free AI Scanning and reading solution that provides great service but brings up some significant issues like that it commonly misrecognizes genders, age and personhood.

The "blind" app is relatively small and agile.

An offer should be made to the blind community that a disability entrepreneurship network could be set up to work with the blind app as sort of an r and d department where they use the service to communicate within their network based on the overall structure that is in there already -- the structure of Silicon Valley.

When the company hits one trillion dollars or the government brings an anti trust suit, whichever comes first, the r and d department would take over the company and monopolize the entire tech industry based on an accessible model where every company is built accessibility first with inclusion as the first priority in the mission statement.

[JHC], for the umpteenth time, it won't generate any perceptible lift.

So, the idea is to make the anonymous messaging service called "blind" accessible to blind people (plus some poorly thought out stuff about legislation). It makes more sense than some [JHC] ideas, but that's not setting the bar very high.

Not being part of the blind community, wouldn't this network already be in place?

I'm not sure why blind people need a special dating app. The man who came to install ours seemed perfectly normal and could probably have used normal sites.

Normal is quite relative, [Max]. How many webcam angles did he install ?
