> hypnagogic state”. This is the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness, when we drowsily linger in a semi-conscious state, experiencing vivid mental images and sounds.

There’s hypnagogia and hypnopompia. Both are liminal states between conscious and unconscious processing.

Hypnagogia is the transitional phase as you’re falling asleep, while Hypnopompia is when you are waking up.

Highly highly recommend trying out liminal dreaming.

It is a great place whence ideas may be harvested.


> who aren't in a huge company with dedicated a11y or UX teams

Assuming you’re a small team and with a site / product that’s not big yet, can you share why you are thinking to implement accessibility at this stage?


If you leave it late you will find it much more difficult to implement. And it is important to do. I created a free music app which by coincidence was easy for blind people to use. The gratitude I got has made me conscious to do this ever since.

I think of that kind of accessibility just like other product feature dimensions.

There’s an opportunity cost, so you have to decide where you spend your time.


What do you mean?

Let’s assume it’s simulations all the way down and we exist in plane P=n. The question is are we at n=0.

Looks like this result says we can’t simulate our plane in a computer. But the stuff in that simulation exists in P=n+1. So maybe the conclusion is “you can’t simulate n from within n+1” which means we can’t simulate our own plane, let alone our potential parent, and doesn’t mean we don’t have one


Take the room you're in and simulate it with a computer. Now, bring the computer into the room.

You have agency.


Have you considered that there could be a difference in short term and long term trends?

Yes, that’s why I mentioned that changing trends were never brought up. If reasons were given, backed by data, maybe people would be more receptive to the return to office. Instead it just ends up looking like a power play or real estate justification, which workers don’t care about.

When that happens, have you asked the person to be more mindful?


> Do I suddenly communicate like a caveman just because my face shows up on a screen?

I have seen people be rude and disrespectful in larger virtual meetings when they wouldn’t have behaved that way in person.


> You may also be jailed for two months for not liking Trump - that's happened a few times

Do you have a concrete example story that illustrates this?


Lucas Sielaff, Jessica Brösche

Neither of them even allege it was due to views on Trump.

Time waster.

> But there are certain preconditions I cannot apply. I cannot, for example, say "you may come into my house only if you murder my neighbour".

How is that a relevant argument?


Because the thing we're arguing about is whether it's ethical to apply certain preconditions to entering the US. What's unclear about that?
