  • Does anyone know how they define junk food in that guideline? Is it based on calories / fat / sugar? Or do they have a specific list of products that are now forbidden in ads? Or a list of companies? Does the ban include product placements (like a kids movie where a family goes to McD? What about ‘normal’ content about fast food (like SpongeBob making krabby burgers)?

    I really appreciate the law but I think it can be quite challenging to draw the line between legal and illegal.






  • Thanks for the comment! So from my understanding US and Germany are similar then in terms of intention as a prerequisite. Probably it’s similar in UK too then.

    In the case here, I doubt the boss tried to kill the employee with the immune disease and as no one died, it’s neither attempted murder nor murder nor manslaughter.

    I don’t want to be a nitpicker but I think it’s important to be precise when it comes to criminal offenses. Far too often I read allegations of murder, rape etc. when there’s simply no proof (yet) for such a claim.









    1. Newer washing machines vary in time depending on how dirty your clothes are. So the same program may take 50 minutes or 90 minutes. This cannot be solved with a regular timer.

    2. If you have a job with varying hours, you might want to start the washing mashine when you’re heading home. Then you’re clothes are ready to be hung as you arrive and they aren’t laying around for hours.

    3. If you own photovoltaic, you might want to time energy intense home appliances such as washing machines, dish washers etc. to a period of overproduction.

    Not saying, these issues are super important but there definitely are use cases for smart devices. However, I’d always recommend using a local / self-hosted rather than a cloud-based solution.
