No worries. It’s been in flux over the past decade. A few of the major grocery chains pushed to change the laws so they could sell beer and wine under a certain ABV. It has to be in a dedicated area and they can only sell during certain hou

I live in PA and can literally walk to a private beer distributor from my house and walk out with something larger than a 12 pack. There are no state owned beer distributors as far as I’m aware. Most (not all) Liquor / Wine sales are

From the article: "it will warn of a potential issue rather than diagnose it" Seems like lawyer speak for "please don't sue us if we get this wrong" but I suspect the ad campaign for this feature will suggest otherw

You are a disgusting person and no amount of pseudo intellectualism is going to change that.

Bars and Casinos argued the exact same thing when we mandated they check the IDs of a patron before serving them a drink. The world didn't stop spinning.

It literally styles itself as an encyclopedia, not a collection of summaries by "mainstream secondary sources". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Five_pillars > Wikipedia combines many features of ge

HN doesn't style itself as an encyclopedia for all human knowledge that's worth writing down.

“Slip-sliding into fascism”? Please. This is the same tired melodramatic trope that’s played out every time anyone even remotely to the right wins an election in the United States. It should be no surprise that many people, myself included

Correct. The companies developing these LLMs are throwing dump trucks full of money at them like we’ve not seen before. They choose to ignore glaring issues with the technology because if they don’t, some one else will.

That’s exactly it. People are tired of every forum on the internet being turned into a soap box for whatever political cause-du-jour is in vogue that week. People are equally tired of the melodrama that comes with it (“are we forbidden to t

Most of these sorts of submissions just lead to Reddit-tier shit posting and many are interested in HN _not_ becoming _yet another_ front in the political flame wars. There isn’t some secret cabal of MAGA types censoring you.

I expect commercial enterprises not to be allowed to engage in anti-competitive and consumer-hostile behavior. Like it or not and regardless of their contributions to tech/the web Google is notorious for pulling the rug out from under

There would be no reason to fix this if the chrome people had kept up their end of the bargain by supporting the standard. We can quibble as to whether or not XSLT should have been part of the standard to begin with but it IS part of the s

If there is one constant in this country it's that the racists will be racist and think that just because they are racist that everyone else must be.

As I understand it congress mandates which coins _can_ be minted and their specifications (denomination/physical size/markings/etc) then leaves it up to the Secretary of the Treasury to determine how many need to be produced

These deals are a joke and unattainable to the vast majority of people in the post-covid economy. paying $12k down on a $400k house with a fixed 6.48% rate means your monthly payment is almost $3k per month, and you'll pay more than th

Agreed. I had a professor once who would say “The defaults were put there by people who probably know more about the software than you”. As long as you understand what the defaults are doing sometimes it’s more hassle messing with every op

In the United States tests of competency were historically used to prevent certain racial groups from casting the ballot. They were explicitly banned by the Voting Rights Act in 1965, rightfully so. It's far too easy to abuse.

Yeah but if we don't change the UI every few months that MBA who just got hired and is looking for a promotion won't get claps on the back for a good job.
