Firstly, MOST businesses don't store any credit card information so it's easier to be PCI compliant if the need arises and in order to limit liability. So if you trust the business enough to put in your CC#, you don't have to worry about the biggest issue.

Secondly, I don't know of ANY company that deletes customer data upon cancellation. I've worked at a few ecom companies now, and the marketing team would just LOL at that idea. Past customers are pretty much your highest converters. No way are you gonna get rid of your data on them.

MAYBE in Europe with GDPR. Even still, no company I've worked at does this even for European customers. I'm skeptical a meaningful percentage of companies do.
I'd say 29.99 EUR is very common, but not 29.99 €. I only ever see the € symbol after the value in documents from Europe, never in those from the UK (I see a lot of quotes, purchase orders and other financial documents from various places and companies)

That's an interesting insight - isn't the whole point of the indirection to free you from needing to understand the underlying data structure when extending things?

I feel the heart of the issue is surrounding a similar problem that message-passing set out to solve, perhaps encapsulation? You set up some boundaries to a thing and define some contracts for interacting with it, and in return you are free to separate the implementation of that from the consumer of that data.

I worry that when people program in Clojure, they forget all the discipline that was embedded in some of the better parts of the previous language/paradigms they came from and mistake that as liberation.
Look no further than the recent issue where Patreon competitor Subscribestar had payment processors Stripe and PayPal stop processing their payments for _political_ disagreements with the purported beneficiaries of the donations through the platform. PayPal said that it was actually one of the underlying payment processors, and it was suspected to be MasterCard.

That incident was the first time I've ever taken the need for alternative payment processors very seriously.

Democracy is not the best system for getting the best result. People are fickle. People tend to vote for what they like instead of whats best. That's why there has never been a bald president since the advent of TV even though most white males above 50 are balding.

And, as you said, most people don't care. Its why cat videos or toy review videos get more views than educational or philosophical videos.

Expert curation is better than a democratized system. The problem is how the curators are curated.

It's curious that they pitched this curated experience by openly admiting their app store experience is terrible and full of scammy games that are "free" w/ ads and egregious microtransactions. Of course they could fix the app store they control rather than silo-ing off the good games into a separate subscription.

The author was extrapolating their own experience which did lead to empathy, conjecturing that anybody else going through the same process will have the same insight. I think the implication is that to be a success at advertising the empathy is a necessary skill, and you will either pick it up or wash out.

Certainly there are other paths to writing that would not lead to the same insight.
Wrong in this case. My actual wife is Japanese.

She often gets me to help her out with very, very, very basic things on the computer. She's relatively smart outside of that, speaks fluent English and graduated uni both in Japan and overseas. But it's as if the basic foundation for working out new abstractions on a computer just aren't there. Which is how the discussion came up. I was curious why such a level of computer illiteracy would be present in someone who grew up in the 90s/00s.

People are shocked at hearing about that minister who says he never touched a computer. I was equally shocked when my wife casually told me she never touched a computer until entering University. I wouldn't have thought that to be possible given how much technology I grew up around in the West. I assumed it would have been the same in Japan, but it can't have been.

I guess in a way it doesn't surprise me. On the outside Japan looks like this super technologically advanced country and in reality they still send faxes. It's half stuck decades in the past and halfway planted in the future.
I think your doubts are all extremely well-founded, but I don't think scoring publishers is a viable alternative.

There are already a bunch of attempts to list 'trustworthy' news sources, sometimes paired with attempts to offer a "balanced media diet" while avoiding inaccuracy. Unfortunately, publisher-level judgements are fundamentally too broad for story-level relevance. Accuracy varies wildly, and there's a significant difference between publisher-level quality (e.g. biased topic choice) and story-level quality (i.e. if I read it, is it factually correct?) Worse, publishers benefit from keeping it that way, by extending the aegis of a reputable name to content that's fast and cheap instead of diligent, or to inflammatory clickbait that monetizes better online.

Fox is infamous, but their online site actually has a lot of good investigative reporting. Unfortunately, we can't just split Fox.com from television Fox News, because Fox.com also hosts old Glenn Beck videos and other comparable rubbish.

The Huffington Post has hired some good reporters over the years, but their model of saving money with repackaged (or stolen) content effectively launders inaccurate stories from a host of other sites. The difference between their pedigreed staff writers and their news-roundup commentary is immense.

Buzzfeed News moved to its own domain last summer, but before that it was a subdomain of Buzzfeed that produced a whole bunch of award-winning investigative stories from top reporters. Unfortunately, Buzzfeed also does news, and has a history of things like blackholing stories at advertiser request or committing serial plagiarism.

The Washington Post website, like many other news sites, has a section for blog posts by non-regular contributors. A story in their PostEverything section doesn't warrant anything like the same faith their main content would, but its under their 'news' heading and isn't demarcated any differently than staff blogs.

The list of similar practices is painfully long, to the point that I'm struggling to think of sources which don't have major quality discrepancies within their brand. The WSJ, NYT, and ProPublica come to mind; it's no accident that they all trade extremely heavily on their reputations. Television sources, with their numerous distinct shows, are of course disastrous for this - PBS is the only channel I can think of now that History and National Geographic have surrendered.

I don't have a good answer here, but it looks to me like there are strong incentives for publishers not to offer a stable level of quality in their work.
I read through the article and I recognized the pattern of an old C cave bear that refuses to learn new things and understand why safety and type theory matters. Lots of arguments made in that post are either unfair (i.e. the Cargo team stuff) or completely wrong.

Also, if you think Go is a replacement of C, I think you are not a real systems programmer. Go has a GC, in the first place: how can you seriously state it’s a replacement of C? Also, you didn’t mention it (voluntary I guess), but Rust does have a community-based mechanism to make the language evolve (RFCs).

About the number of features, those are mostly non-breaking changes additions. Rust has editions now. Just… do your homework?

C++ is mostly used as a OOPL. Rust has no concept of OOP.

Point taken.

You could also argue that having multiple big entities doing payment processing is better for everyone to the extent that they are competing. I mean, Mastercard and Visa are undoubtedly going to pull every lever at their disposal to take out Apple. (And to take out Amazon and Walmart as well if they decide to jump into this thing.)

So rather than wishing that Apple were NOT a payment processor, I guess a better idea is to hope for the Walmarts, the Amazons, the Targets, etc to all jump in and join the cage match.

There are world-class games on iOS, but the critical problem - I think - is that (i) the interface isn't subtle enough to handle fine movements (unlike the mouse or analog stick), (ii) the devices are cumbersome and tiring to use for extended periods of time, and (iii) critically, there is no tactical feedback for buttons which means that a portion of your brain is always dedicated to making sure that your thumb is 'over the A button', removing you subtly but importantly from the gaming immersion.

EDIT: I also want to say that to any lurking iOS game devs - the most critical thing that seems to separate viral games from standard ones is the leveraging of a single (or a handful) or basic multitouch gestures.

https://www.economist.com/business/2017/10/28/apple-should-s...

(2017) 'The world’s biggest firm has a financial arm half the size of Goldman Sachs'

'...Apple says that its “value-at-risk” (VAR), a statistical measure of the maximum likely loss in an average day, is $434m. That is huge: similar to the combined VAR of the world’s top ten investment banks. In theory losses on derivatives would be offset by gains in the value of Apple’s underlying business. But the sheer size of these positions gives pause for thought.'

'...Its foreign operation swims in cash while its domestic one drowns in debt. Profits made abroad are kept in foreign subsidiaries. That way Apple does not pay the 35% levy America charges when earnings are repatriated. Some 94% of Apple Capital’s assets are “offshore” and cannot be tapped for ordinary purposes. The domestic business must do the hard work of paying for dividends and buy-backs. Its profits are not big enough to cover these, so it borrows. Domestic net debts have risen to $92bn, or five times domestic gross operating profits. Each year Apple must issue $30bn of bonds (including refinancing), similar to the average of Wall Street’s five largest firms.

Apple’s core business is so profitable that it is—almost—inconceivable that a blow-up at Apple Capital could lead to it needing taxpayer or central-bank support, as was the case for GM and GE. Still, it is easy to imagine how Apple Capital could hurt its parent. A market shock could lead to losses on its portfolios. A two-percentage-point rise in interest rates would result in a loss of $10bn. If bond markets dried up, Apple might struggle to issue so much debt and have to bring home funds, incurring a big tax bill. It might also become tricky to run such a big derivatives portfolio.'

I wouldn't say "definitely".

Just devil's advocate... Besides costs of running servers, also conceivable is potential competition with another service that they're trying to push (though they should have a smooth path to turn those users into uptake of the other service). Also conceivable is that there were costs for dealing with abuse of the service (e.g., excessively heavy users, human resources to respond to reports of criminal/harassing content). Or maybe privacy&security experts are finally shaking things up, and saying that Mozilla is still thinking too much like a dotcom.

Yeah, some people just don't get subtlety. They have to be told directly.
Indeed, why would Apple want to eliminate that fee?

But also, how is this rent seeking? Rent seeking is defined as attempting to take a larger share of existing wealth without increasing total wealth. Electronic payment systems absolutely add to total wealth.

The problem is that there isn't a universally trusted arbiter for the final result. Prediction markets can be useful when what is being predicted can be objectively verified in the future but if something like "Will ObamaCare destroy the economy?" was the question in 2009, in 2019 half the country will tell you it did destroy the economy, the other half will say it didn't.

>It seems to me that Apple can offer reduced fees due to the fact that they'll have less fraud as a result of requiring touch/face ID for every purchase.

I don't think that's a big component of it. It's probably has more to do with Apple users being inherently more credit-worthy. If you're well-heeled enough to be neck deep in the Apple ecosystem in the first place, you're probably less likely to be in credit default.
