Which would be a strange defense. DHH is not someone who keeps his political views to himself.

As of the last 10 years none of this is true for McDonalds. Their published ingredients say 100% beef with no additives, and they stopped using pink slime 10 years ago. But we’d still designate McDonald’s as junk food, so it can’t be the ad

Lean ground beef, bread, cheese, and a small salad are not “junk food” in themselves, but when you stack them into a cheeseburger they become junk food. Meanwhile salad entrees at several restaurants have more calories, sodium, and sugar th

Why does grinding the meat at home make a huge difference vs grinding it in a factory? Depending on the cut you choose, the condiments you add, and the portion size, a hamburger at home could be Lot less healthy than a McDonald’s burger. Mc

What is junk food? For example — are cheeseburgers and French fries junk food? What about when you make them at home, or at a fancy restaurant without artificial ingredients? Is it certain additives? If McDonalds makes a happy meal without

Maybe free market principles apply here: if Anubis fails to reduce scraper/bot load on servers, or blocks too many desired users, then the sites that adopt it would probably scrap it. If they’re keeping it even after all these posts, i

1. The tax is not pegged at the sale price. What prop 13 actually does is limit the amount of appreciation the state can recognize for tax purposes. 2. There are lots of states/cities in the US that do not cap the appreciation of your

I mean, people already do pay property taxes on homes? So this isn’t a very good retort.

How big of a challenge are hardware faults and radiation for orbital data centers? It seems like you’d eat a lot of capacity if you need 4x redundancy for everything

Yeah the most likely thing (for the California law, at least) is that compliant OS's expose a form at account creation where you input a birthdate or age, and have either a CLI/file/setting where you can change the birthdate

Yeah if you have admin access to your device and know what you’re doing it’s basically a non-issue. I’m guessing a savvy high schooler can change their age bracket easily. If you want to give a young child a laptop or computer though, it ma

The law says the user provides the birthdate or age and the bracket is derived from it

The brackets are a few years wide, so it could take a bit of waiting. But yeah I’d consider setting a slightly different day/month for a child if I was paranoid. I guess you could also make the bracket selectable instead of requiring t

You’d need some script that updates the age category based on the user’s provided birthday (which is not shared with the applications) but otherwise yeah

I believe the California law (which has passed) requires operating systems to collect the DoB or Age of the user when setting up a user account, and then expose an API that shares the users age range (not their actual age or birthdate) when

I mean, I’m even more skeptical that Palantir or its customers were concerned about killing former members or supporters of the Soviet Union prior to 2009. The focus was probably the War on Terror and related crimes. Alex Karp was calling h
