“Is a $100 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card for a trash collector wrongful?” wrote Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the court’s opinion. “What about a $200 Nike gift card for a county commissioner who voted to fund new school athletic facilities? Could students take their college professor out to Chipotle for an end-of-term celebration?”

In my country government employees (including teachers) can't legally accept gifts above €10 in value. All of these examples would be illegal here. Sounds petty, but anti-corruption laws are pretty strict for a reason.

Nice catch. Thanks!

EDIT: I was wrong. This is in Erfurt, Germany.

That might be Switzerland. White frames around traffic lights are not typical for Germany. And the sign itself would likely have a white background instead of a yellow one. Also there is a Molly Malone Pub with a similar typography as the one in the ad in Winterthur, Switzerland.

And yes, it's a very boring day today

Exactly. And wait - there's more: A lot of shops in Germany refuse to accept cards (because every transaction costs them), so you'll have to pay in cash. After a short while you will carry around a massive amount of nearly worthless coins. Also a lot of elderly people like to pay their groceries in those collected 1, 2, 5 and 10 ct coins. They hand over their cash cent by cent by cent and of course, the cashier has to count them to ensure that the sum is correct. Which it usually isn't, which means that the elderly person is inclined to go fishing in their purse for more little cent coins and so on.

I wonder what would happen if a bakery decided to round their prices at least up to 10 ct. I for one would be eternally grateful.

From the article: "It is unlikely the Department would ever pursue action against anyone using the Logan Act, given no one has been convicted of violating the 1799 law"

End of story.

Because you said that was not the point of the article and I asked you to clarify why you think it wasn't. But never mind. This is going nowhere.

Why not? If the starting point of the article is that we can't design interfaces based on our elitist 5 percenter knowledge then the remedy for that would be...?

I'm using a lepotato for Home Assistant. Works very well for months now, but I'm a bit worried about long term distro support

I wonder why user tests aren't even mentioned once in the article. If you design an interface you have to test it with your audience

Nicht ganz. Ich habe schon mit eigenen Augen gesehen, dass der Inhalt des Papierformulars dann von einer Sachbearbeiterin in ein digitales Formular abgetippt wird.

Did you know you can edit your posts? Could be helpful for other readers since you were incorrectly posting in several messages that wine needs root access.

Correct, but the problem here is that apple products are extremely closed up. If they choose not to provide updates any more that's totally fine, but they should enable developers to install a different os instead of turning the devices to e-waste. There are some projects trying to make a Linux installation possible on iPads, but so far they have failed due to apple's gatekeeping.
