The spec mandating its as a single string isn't that crazy. It's good to have a consistent response format so a basic deserializer can deserialize any error response object and get something out.
If you have different providers. One that returns error: { code: string } and another does something else, you end up with the same problem this post talks about-- Inconsistency.
As far as I can tell, the spec doesn't limit you to just the one field and you can add other optional fields to the top level to the response that the caller can optionally decide to handle. But if you know there's going to be a field called error that is a string. You always get at least something out of that to present.
It just goes to show the small parts of API design matter just as much as the big parts. I've worked with a lot of engineers who are so eager to draw big boxes and arrow architectural diagrams, but then just rush the details because that's not important.
The hard part is browsers. Cookies and local storage are limited by the origin URL. You need it explicitly set on the domains you intend to visit, but those domains don't know your age. The one that knows the age is the identity provider, but it can't set it for all domains. There are other techniques that you could use, like a smart card combined with a browser extension to do local based user info attestation, but those are difficult to manage at a nation scale and I suspect people will struggle with them, though there are some countries that do have national smart cards (e.g. Estonia.)
Its possible to implement something that hides your actual age from a website, but the tricky part is hiding what website you're visiting from an identity provider.
Let's walk through a wrong solution to get some fundamentals. If you're familiar with SSO login, a website makes a request token to login the user and makes claims (these request pieces of user information.) One could simply request "is the user older than 18?" And that hides the actual age and user identity.
The problem is how do you hide what website you're going to from the identity provider? In most SSO style logins, you need to know the web page to redirect back to the original site. Thus leaking information about websites you probably don't want to share.
The problem with proposals that focus on the crypto is that they actually have to be implemented using today's browser and HTTP standards to get people to use them.
True, but even if there's only one supplier, there's still demand-side elasticity of price, which means that price increasing causes some customers to not buy the product. Thus, a company may or may not be able to increase a price 1:1 with the tarriff.
All this is fun economic theory, but I was specifically responding to the claim that tax incentives were better than a tarriff. They both translate into some increase in cost of the goods sold.
Batteries are bounded by more predictable chemistry more so than something like the breakdown of a mechanical based trigger waiting for rust or decomposition. Chemistry makes it easier to model and predict. If you've got a 1Ah battery and it consumes x watt hours per hour, then it takes y days to burn through. Tolerances that cause the battery to have slightly more or less capacity or component power consumption will likely be <5%, thus not radically different because nobody is timing this to the minute.
If it becomes more expensive to buy products manufactured in certain countries then customers would naturally change their buying habits to other companies. The price to the customer ultimately acts as an incentive to companies.
I could connect a smart plug and disconnect it if below -15, if that would help
If you didn't know already, many smart plugs are not rated for the amount of power that fridges and other compressor based appliances. They can overlosd the plugs and cause failures or fires. Also shutting off a compressor mid cycle increases the wear.
These pictures remind me of YouTube thumbnails with fhe style of over emphasized visuals and it makes me wonder if people got accustomed to that style and that makes it easier to pass the BS test.

Sound Transit Board selects final West Seattle Link Extension route and stations
(www.soundtransit.org)
Summer construction season is coming to an end, but not before we tackle our biggest weekend of construction for the region this year. We're calling it our Monster Weekend. Buckle up (literally) because here's what's going down:
SR 520 CLOSED - highway and trail
-Where: From I-5 in Seattle to 92nd Ave NE in Clyde Hill
-When: 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, to 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 30
-What: Working on lighting and the fire suppression system under the new Montlake lid over SR 520.
NB I-405 in Renton CLOSED
-Where: From Sunset Boulevard Northeast/Southport Drive (Exit 5) to Coal Creek Parkway SE
-When: 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, to 4 a.m. Monday, Sept. 30.
-What: Shifting northbound traffic onto a new bridge. A signed detour will be available. This work is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled.
SB SR 167 in Kent CLOSED
-Where: From SR 516 to South 27th Street
-When: 11:59 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, to 4 a.m. Monday, Sept. 30.
-Why: Paving and striping sections of SB SR 167. This work is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled.
Both directions I-5 CLOSED - overnights only!
-Where: Between SR 18 in Federal Way and 54th Ave E in Fife
-When: Overnight Friday, Sept. 27, and Saturday, Sept. 28. NB lanes will close by 10:30 p.m. and SB lanes by 11 p.m. On Saturday, lanes begin opening at 7 a.m. (fully open by 11 a.m.). On Sunday, lanes begin reopening at 8 a.m. (fully open by noon).
-Why: Setting girders for a new overpass crossing I-5.
Mercer Street on-ramps to I-5 CLOSED
-Where: Mercer Street on-ramps to both NB and SB I-5 in Seattle
-When: 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, and 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 30.
-Why: Paving the ramp and adjacent shoulders.
Some of these closures have detours, but a warning: Detour routes cannot accommodate normal traffic volumes, so try to travel during off-peak hours or, if possible, delay your trip to help minimize backups.
It's been a long summer of road work. You've been patient, and we're grateful for that. We need to get this work done now before we fully enter The Big Gray.

This is just an interesting artifact of internet communities at work. They are stuck there because Boeing's design was unsafe, Boeing has been suffering from engineering culture decline due to MBAs seeking to maximize profit. Maximizing profit is the end state of late stage capitalism. Thus this is Capitalism's fault.
People are frustrated thus they amplify these posts and ideas. You can notice the effects everywhere once you start looking. However it leads to a boring discussion. I can already see doomer questions flooding Ask Lemmy. While I may agree, it can't all be based on that.
