That's... A complicated question. It does appear to be a breach of ABAC Responsible Alcohol Marketing Code (3b) [0], but the ABAC would only review it if a complaint was raised.

A complaint first has to be raised with Ad Standards, who undertake ethical review on a case-by-case basis.

That is, it is generally illegal to market to those who are underage, but it is not generally illegal to display such advertising in a space where those who are outside of the target audience.

The usual legal process is to review individual ads, and those creating the adverts are the ones who end up in trouble. An entire marketplace (like Facebook) deciding that marketing to minors is okay is untested waters, because each individual advert would normally be ruled illegal so why the hell would the market allow it?

Banning advertising to kids under 18 is a pretty interesting idea.

You obviously can't completely ban it, since kids under 18 would still have access to cable TV, and therefore advertisments.

But I could see a system where -targeting- kids under 18 would be banned, whereas advertising as a whole is not illegal for < 18 so long as the advertisements kids are seeing aren't specifically targeted only at minors.
I wonder if it’s a workplace I worked at. We ended up having a bunch of generic branch names (one org had colors, another had star-related things), and when a project was done, they just used that branch for something else.
Thank you for the feedback.

Here's the deal though, when I press the brake pedal in my truck the force is mechanically applied via a hydraulic system to brake pads in the wheels.

I've read that Tesla abstracted all that with electric signals coming from a computer, now a proprietary software system sits between my legs input and the brake pads.

What if it goes wrong? You can try to convince me that it is an RTOS where signals from the brake pedal have the highest priority. And it seems to be that way, but I'd rather not.

I've dealt with enough computer problem to trust some onboard computer that can receive updates from the internet over how I brake.
Germany only moved to a consent-based legal definition of rape in 2016, so I’m not sure it has the best legal handling of rape either.

If you're like the majority of people on HN, you're likely (relatively) "rich" - perhaps in top 5-10 percentile of income globally.

The other 90% use Androids. They could use "second-hand" iPhones - but those don't work quite as well and stay compatible with the latest apps whereas the latest cheap Androids do.
Launched this today on Product Hunt - it's open to the public, if you see a use for this, and try it out, would love your feedback.
I get that AWD or 4x4 is more expensive, even for ICE vehicles. Even the 2WD is expensive for EVs. I grew up driving a RWD car in the mountains (out east... I get it's a bit different) and never had any real problems. I bought a truck and went with RWD and it does fine too (although I rarely go through snowy mountains anymore).

So if we're cutting the battery in half, we save about 15% - going from about $35k to $30k using the Model 3 as an example. This is still expensive for me - my truck suits me better and was close to $10k lower. This is mostly because I don't want all the tech that's in it. I would rather have switches, sliders, and buttons like my old 80s caprice (the buttons in the work truck are fine too) instead of a giant screen. The cabin space and use of a bed is nice as well since I am on the larger side, do a lot of work myself, and tow a trailer at times.
There's AltStore, but it's obviously not as straightforward as the Apple one. https://altstore.io/

Came across it while following the development and distribution of iSH (https://ish.app/), which has now made it into the main app store.

Prior to publishing to AltStore, iSH was only available on Test Flight, which has a limitation on the number of users who can join (10,000). So they'd periodically have to kick inactive users off the TestFlight so others could try it.
Yeah, what you're describing sounds like a work station. Maybe Mighty will allow companies to buy super cheap laptops + Mighty for their non-tech folks to get up & running fast?

A Netflix HDR 4K stream isn't a great example, because:

- the data only needs to be compressed once, for many viewers (vs. browser sessions, which are single-user)

- the receiving device can buffer data (vs. browser-sessions, for which the future is yet unknown)

- latency doesn't matter, because the user only perceives it at the beginning of the session (vs. every time they use an input device)

I think it's important to mark a distinction between critical theory, the philosophical tool for analysis, and how critical theory can be taught (the unfortunate incidents you cite where white students are shamed or mistreated). In high school, I had the privilege to take several college courses at a local school relating to sociology, critical theory and analysis, philosophy (which included a section on CT), genocide studies, and other challenging subjects that these lawmakers might discard as 'leftist, Marxist' hooplah.

I was actually fairly conservative and religious at the time, and the context of these classes (with many of my classmates being conservative Cuban immigrants) is that so were my classmates. In an inclusive environment, where white students aren't bullied, courses like these can allow students to self-reflect, be observant, and open to difficult discussions with peers. Not only did it help me tremendously when transitioning to college, but it gave me the tools to navigate and analyze dense academic subjects. I went into tech, but many of my high school classmates who were able to participate in this program have become lawyers, educators, or are in graduate schools pursuing passions they found in courses like these.

I'm less scared of the often cited 'weaponization' of 'microaggressions' or 'PC culture' than I am of talented students being barred from advanced, challenging coursework because it's deemed 'too liberal' to be educated.
Ports may have to do something like what aviation did a few decades ago. At major airports, you have to book a landing slot before you can take off. This eliminated circling the airport waiting to land. Los Angeles and Long Beach may have to have a scheduling system like that.
Theoretically, a self-taught dev could get into it, if they were truly motivated and found the right opportunity, but there's not going to be a boot camp for it, at least in the West. Boot camps exist primarily because the demand for web developers outpaces the supply substantially. The same cannot be said for firmware engineers in the US.

That being said, there are accelerated CS undergrad degrees out there that may help you break into the field in the fewest number of calendar months. Though at the end, there's a good chance you wind up doing web dev anyway.

> ~100% of the software available for iOS has to follow Apple's rules, offer a consistent and safe payment method, and install through the App Store.

Scams are rampant in the App Store. Give an unlocked iPhone to a 5 year old and they'll spend $1000 before you know it. This is not something worth defending.

Would that be more or less of a waste of tax dollars/police time?
Putting aside that law enforcement has very different risks & pressures from corporate moderation, you don't really have to imagine: US law enforcement have a tool called civil forfeiture which lets them seize assets suspected of being involved in a crime without charging the asset owners of any specific crime. The owners have to prove to the police that the assets were not involved in a crime to restore their property. The US also has FISA courts for sensitive matters, FISA hearings are secret and only involve the judge & government representatives without the presence of all relevant parties.

I'm not endorsing these US policies, but it's worth noting that even in democratic law enforcement it's accepted that the system isn't always bound by transparent policy and process. There are usually justifications for keeping some things secret and discretionary to enhance law enforcement effectiveness.
Mexico City has one of the most ambitious and sophisticated video surveillance systems in the world. But it hasn’t stopped crime.
Thinking about this as "App Stores" doesn't make sense for Apple. Forget App Stores. They tax more than half of the app revenue(!) just via iPhone alone.

General purpose computing is something special and it needs to be defended, because it touches on almost all our civil rights discussions today. Global freedom of speech, privacy, etc... are all in the hands of less than a dozen companies.

Which should start with forcing these devices open (everything from bootloader keys, basic information needed to get Linux running, etc...). I can tolerate Android like I tolerate Windows 10, but the iOS situation is just especially awful.

I am glad that you found something that works for you, but I am confident 8GB will not work for the type of work I do. 16GB might be passable right now, but I am regularly using 20-25GB at a time on my 15" MBP now with my workloads, occasionally bursting to close to 30GB when I'm really pushing certain dev environments.

I keep my personal laptops for a long time, and I don't want to be stuck with 16GB when it's getting close to not cutting it now based on what I do. I can't imagine being stuck with 16GB in 8-10 years.

Unfortunately once you move past the lower working level software/engineering jobs, either vertically to team lead positions or horizontally to product management or marketing or sales, whiteboard interviews are not that helpful, as soft skills becomes as important if not more important than technical skills for success at work.

For M1, it obviously outperformed competitive.

I did not say it was "handing" more control to them. I said it was asking them to exert more control.

The ACCC are calling on Google and Apple to clamp down harder on what developers can get away with inside their walled gardens. If Apple and Google comply, this clamping down will be seen as anti-competitive in other contexts and used as evidence against them in other venues.

In technical terms, this situation is referred to as a monopsony [0]; the customer can, at any time, go out and purchase apps from other sources. However, app developers cannot choose to "sell" their apps to other retailers, since there are basically only 2.

It's a distinction without a difference in terms of the power they exert, but legally speaking, the distinction is relevant because the types of behaviors that are proscribed (in the U.S., at least) are relatively narrowly defined. This is not the first time these laws would have to be modified to account for shifts in market exploitation practices, nor will it be last.

For a recent discussion of the topic, see [1].

Many urban Indians have no idea how bad the caste situation is.

I'm a Northerner of a so-called upper caste (but not a Brahmin). I had to move to Chennai (a Southern city) for a year. I was shocked when apartment-hunting there. At every "to let" apartment visit, I would soon be asked if I were a Brahmin. Then the person would let me know they were a Brahmin, and that they would only rent to Brahmins. Nope, didn't get a decent apartment in that city. It seems all the nice property there is cornered by Brahmins.

The amount of laws being written by various state legislatures as well as congress is just far too damned high, and there is no benefit to it at all
Legislature members should not be able to introduce or edit laws, only debate them and provide votes along with their opinions on why their vote decision matters and what could be done to influence it. Laws should be drafted via popular referendum and stakeholder discussion and only introduced for an approving vote once the people have had a chance to vote on whether or not it should be considered in the first place. This was the opinion of dr. gaddafi in his seminal work, the green book. I think getting a statistical majority of people involved in the legislature process would be tedious without the internet but we do have the power to engage in direct democracy by using internet based systems to disseminate briefings, collect votes and opinions, and encourage discussion, just like on ycombinator. This won't happen before the fall of civilization, of course, because those in power are too corrupt to surrender their authority, but, it could still be done in some forward thinking states and munincipalities.

Lawmakers would still be free to draft and vote on so-called binding policy resolutions that directly alter regulations based on laws already in effect, operating within the constraints of the authority and intent of the law but altering implementation to best suit the need of the moment.

Again, 45 minutes for system design interviews. I could go on a long diatribe of why the FAANG interview strategies are flawed, but everyone knows that, FAANG interviewers included. You play the game if you want the role; if you're just, you know, good, and don't want to learn to play the game, then you're an acceptable false negative.

Stackoverflow, Github and plain old Google search. One thing I like about Stackoverflow, Github gists and issues is the discussion around the code/problem/topic. With Github, I also get a chance to see how others solved the same problem in real-world projects, in possibly different ways, and in interesting projects I would not have come across otherwise.

16GB might be passable right now, but I am regularly using 20-25GB at a time on my work laptop, a 2019 15" MBP, occasionally bursting to ~30GB when I'm really pushing certain dev environments.

I keep my personal laptops for a long time, and I don't want to be stuck with 16GB when it's getting close to not cutting it now based on what I do. I can't imagine being stuck with 16GB in 8-10 years.

My current personal laptop, a 2015 13" MBP, has 16GB of RAM. I can't imagine NOT upgrading.
I'm also a big fan of magit. I used to use emacs for everything, but I found myself taking longer to do tasks on average and having an unacceptably high worst case of a day spent debugging why it's borked. Now I only use emacs for magit. I'm currently working on a magit TUI in Rust. It's very early stages. I'm hoping even if the project fails at least I'll understand git a lot better.
I really love the pragmatism behind saying: yes, X sucks, but it’s still useful.
Apple does use this monopoly to their advantage. You can ask the developers whose IP has been stolen and their app (money taken out of their wallets) taken off the AppStore because Apple decided to incorporate the app function and ability into iOS or an Apple app.
Same with me for unit tests :)
Some ads can never be posted on Facebook (prostitution, child pornography, murder for hire, firearms). Facebook is capable of filtering ads. It is mission critical for them to do so. It is the thing they are best at in the history of the known universe: showing the right ad for maximum value and not showing ads that are not of maximum value.

These ads are posted. This is intent.
I thought so too, but it's been so periodic and so often that I thought it couldn't be the content creator. The fact that no one complains in the comments makes me think there are other options as well, and not ones that the content creator controls.
There is no “Apple market” and “Google market”, there is just one market for apps. The respective app stores are direct sales channels. This direct sales exclusivity (ie. no resellers) exists in many other industries.

The argument is about whether forcing open channel reseller participation is beneficial to consumers. This was done with the American car franchise dealership, which was legally enforced across most states to protect dealers from being competed with by direct sales, and also to prevent pricing and quality shenanigans with repairs in the old days when cars needed constant repairs and there were more car companies that might pull out of a market and leave consumers without a proper repair facility .

But this model has been falling apart from a consumer POV who largely prefer direct sales and repairs these days (see Tesla), and direct sales largely save the customers money (the $ of vehicles is higher with a dealership model).

I suspect folks need to be careful what they wish for. The 30% cut (or near it) will almost certainly be retained in an open store model if the store isn’t otherwise subsidized.
Pointing out one bad thing doesn't change a bunch of other good things, nor does adding more app stores seem like a useful solution to the problem raised.
Google already does this to a certain extent by allowing other app stores and will I think very likely move towards certifying other payment frameworks as app store payments is not a significant revenue stream for them - they'll probably negotiate this as part of an antitrust deal with prosecutors

Apple OTOH seems to depend on this for 15-20% of annual revenue and this is going to be much more difficult for them

Firmware isn't necessarily more difficult than other areas, every domain has serious challenges. But firmware programming has the kind of challenges that require a very deep technical background, something almost impossible to build in an X-week boot camp:

- Insane debugging: you have to debug extremely low-level failures with very limited visibility (e.g. no operating system to catch your segfaults) and proprietary or complex tools.

- A hard language made harder: C is difficult to get right, but embedded C (no dynamic memory, lots of bitwise operations for MMIO register writes, targeting exotic architectures, etc) is even more difficult.

- Extreme constraints: The products you work can have constraints like safety certification, minimal power utilization, or ultra low latency response. Meeting those constrains often means having to deeply understand hardware.
What’ll it take to make can deposits national? I remember a few years back Surly Brewing in Minneapolis, MN, USA was against increasing the deposit because they’d have to pay 8.5 cents for a five-cent deposit.

Might we also try what Pacifico did (maybe still does?) with their ballenas—-paying for bottles returned intact, which they then wash and use again? I liked seeing the wear ring around the glass and wondering who else held this bottle.
Given the insane money supply inflation happening now, I'll put that in the pluses column.

I hear you, and I can soften my tone somewhat, but I still think this is trying to advocate for some kind of "secret liberal agenda" (and I mean those words specifically, not as a dig), and I don't think that's a good idea. If you're trying to help black people, say that's what you're doing, don't "hide" your intention, if that's what your intention is.

I think it's the responsibility of the white fisherman in your story to read the parts of the text and listen to the parts of the arguments that address him and his problems (and there are plenty), and to be glad that it also helps minorities. His failure to figure that out is his fault, not the people trying to help's fault (I'm not great at softening my tone, you may notice; I'm genuinely sorry about that).
