As per github copilot that isn't an issue at all.
It should also ban potential employee disclosing the pay of previous employment. Otherwise it would become a norm soon that the companies specifically won't ask about it, but will hire only the candidates who disclose it by themselves, which makes the candidate to disclose the previous income by themselves for having a better shot at getting hired.
Not exactly same, there was a case in India where the user has complaint about company not repairing his purchased hardware saying they don't have the parts anymore and the user has to buy new product for full cost. This was within 3 years of selling the product. Consumer court asked the company to either repair the hardware or give the new product free of charge.

2 most common phone companies before the iphone era were nokia and sony ericsson.

Before making 3.5 jack mandatory by the GSM association, sony ericsson used proprietary connector for their headphone jack and nokia used 1.5mm jack.

We weren't using 3.5mm jack all the way from the first smartphone and we shouldn't stick to it for the future smartphones.

If it were successful, it would have been fucked up.

Yes, for India only Tier A college graduates. :/
I am hoping this to have a negative impact on ubuntu by removing ubuntu from as many cloud services as possible. We have better alternatives, but due to large number of community solutions makes ubuntu the common choice.
That is the stupidest idea ever. If i have a domain name and if somebody rich wants it, it can take over next year. It hijacking.
We already have a pistol emoji. Now how does a rifle cause problems.

Now they should shutdown iPhone when someone types 'rifle' or 'gun' or 'porn' :/

Macbook air is somewhat in apple terms an old technology(it's the best value for money imo). So there is a great chance that we won't see a refresh for macbook air. Pro 13 gets thinner and lighter taking over the air.
Re:Ask HN: Is Sublime Text profitable? on Tuesday June 14, 2016 @07:06AM (#11901151)
Development of sublime text stopped last year, during which time version 3 beta is made into permanent evaluation. But it's under active development again from march onwards and the version 4 is coming soon, which will not be a free update.
I would like to add one more issue to this. In India local roads are narrow and it is mostly two lane or 4 lane with heavy traffic blocks. Even if someone tried to carry someone to hospital,(op already has mentioned about the ambulance crisis, and don't even think about air ambulance), he/she will be met with roadblocks after roadblocks.
