Why shouldn’t a company be responsible for the pollution and health impacts their products have?

It’s so basic

> In particular, the bill bans design features such as infinite scrolling, artificial notifications and certain reward mechanisms.

Honestly I think it's good that there are more guide rails and safeguards implemented for kids.

As with any rules and regulations there will be loop holes and big corporations will still try to get away with as much as they can. But blocking the most harmful mechanisms and content while still keeping access open seems very reasonable.

> tech companies would be required to make their digital services safe by design

Sometimes I think even adults would benefit from rules blocking addictive features and mechanisms.

competitief salaris? Is dat competitief met andere bedrijven op HN? Zet er anders even een echt bedrag bij.

60B in all stock. So basically “free” assuming cursor leadership believes Elons feverdreams.

I wonder how long until Elon makes everyone believe he founded Cursor.

Revolut does not have a banking license in the US. At the moment they are a front for another bank. Don't be gullible and believe blindly what the marketing departments tell you.

I sometimes wonder what would happen to our other resources if energy was abundant and "free". For example desalination plants running for free could perhaps be used to refill an aquifer.

Of course there are markets and balances in the real world. The idea that energy is always scarce and that we shouldn't produce more than I as an individual need always feels a bit like maintaining scarcity.

often energy storage has a lot of losses in the the conversion. but if you produce 10x of what you need for "free". Would that really matter? I'm sure we will get there at some point.

At the point where you have 1 million in revenue you for sure have an accountant even just to do your yearly business taxes. So reporting to Epic just becomes an extra hour of work to make the report.

New comment by interactivecode in "Why does WhatsApp drain so much phone battery?"

interactivecode — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 18:16:32 +0000

The correct way to deliver notifications is through push notifications. On mobile platforms it will wake up the device, wake up the app and handle the notification. No matter if your app is backgrounded, completely quit or open. It's actually really cool and efficient.

It's the low quality code from whatsapp and meta that's causing the battery usage doing all sorts of bad patterns like like constant outbound requests. So many apps like telegram don't have the same issues and are also just as responsive.

As long as the water that goes in, doesn’t come out. The inital water requirement is fine. What is problematic in most cases is the warm water containing pollutants is just pumped straight into our local waste water systems or rivers.

> The strange thing is this is happening in multiple companies at the same time. It's like all the CEOs and HR reps met at some golf retreat and decided to follow a script.

I’ve gotten the same feeling. It’s too consistent to be a fluke. I get the feeling its a fashion thats being pushed by VC funds who are all neck deep in nvidia, openai and anthropic stocks. They must have realized they can pump this to their portfolio to inflate all the investments.

Honestly with Apples high bar of engineers and their massive budgets. If they wanted to they would. So to me it's a good decision from the EU commission to not give into the bullying from Apple. (and others)

Clearly the USA has the same vested interest. The difference is they are aggressively initiating war outside their borders to bully and get what they want.

I love this in xcode / swift. Where classes and structs have a different colors between local classes and external classes (from a lib).

Its surprisingly useful to know if you’re working with a entity that you made.
