The problem isn't with the 30% Cut. It is the value that it offers. Right now it is nothing more than rent seeking. Apple doesn't even have to lower the Cut. They need to provide more values from the Cut.

It could be CDN for your app, where Apple could lower the bandwidth usage for certain uses, using the Apple EdgeCache. Or additional tools that helps developer's productivity.

There are lots could be done. And yet Post Steve Jobs Apple hasn't acted on it.

> Since startups aren't publicly traded, I don't think insider trading laws apply to trading their securities. FAANG is legally allowed to use their access to information to make better investing decisions than other companies are able to

Insider trading laws apply to all companies, be them public or private. It is illegal to trade based on undisclosed material information the other party doesn't have - the law doesn't care whether the stock you're buying is private or on an exchange.

Here's an example: suppose you have a startup that's been going a long time, and some employees want to sell their stock on a secondary market. To avoid this, the startup offers to buy back employee stock, using the most recent valuation of the company to price it. However, the CEO knows that since that valuation was carried out the company is doing much better than expected - and the real value of the stock is much higher. This isn't disclosed to their employees.

This is classic insider trading, and the SEC has taken enforcement action against private companies for doing this sort of thing.

FWIW, I don't think Facebook actually has a large amount of material data in this case - a lot of what they possess (number of active users, platform engagement, etc) is already going to be known by the other party.

Two times come to mind. The night I first met my brothers g/f- - I had a vision my brother and I would both have girl children, and shortly after, I would be separated from my child. And in sequence, we both had exactly one female child then I got a divorce.

Another time, an ex of mine, we hadn't spoken in a year or so, nor did I have her number (back then I would throw out numbers frequently to prevent me from contacting them while using drugs). A voice said, "X is in trouble and needs your help." So, with no way to contact her, I posted on the app we had met on (Whisper), and she got in contact within five minutes. She said it was weird because, she hadn't used the app in months but she got bored, installed it, and my post was the first one she saw. And I said, "This is going to sound crazy, but I was doing drugs and got a 'message' that you were in trouble. Are you?" And she said, "I am actually..."
That's the whole point the linked post makes--they wish it were easier to make that happen. Updates represent labor. It's fair to ask users to pay for that labor.

> Systems programming in any language would benefit immensely from better hardware accelerated bounds checking. ... The world would be a lot safer if we had hardware features like cacheline faults, poison words, bounded MOV instructions, hardware ASLR, and auto-encrypted cachelines.

This isn't really true. The main performance cost of these safety checks (and largely of others such as overflow checking) is inability to optimize because the compiler needs to preserve partial results/states in case a fault occurs. The checks themselves are trivial.
Yeah, there's a couple of issues, one of which you mentioned :) Others are the fact that "runtime errors" are not necessarily bad; the goal is to prevent exploitable runtime errors. Crashing when you detect an out-of-bounds access is a bug and a runtime error, but one that is safe from a security perspective and as such something that Rust will do readily when necessary.
This is fine, until another application needs it. Then it becomes a power struggle for the throne, and both sides lose.

I don't get this mentality. You haven't created this system. You have no idea what it takes or else you would have created it yourself. You don't like the price, but you want it anyway. How is this, I mean come on, different from stealing? You even say it: cutting out the middle man. You want to remove their profits.

There seems to be some inherent conflict in your statements. If you have no opinions, then you take no stand. Why should people take you seriously? I believe that you have strong opinions about people should act and feel (No one should get offended because you do not get offended by a particular statement) and that comes across as very callous.

I got put on call during my last week once. My comment was “are you sure?”
Thank you, I was waiting for your permission to form my own opinions based on evidence.

Whether or not this is a bioweapon is unclear. If it is, perhaps it's designed to shut down economies rather than kill people. On the other hand, perhaps it isn't a weapon at all and is just a research project similar to the other Chimeric coronaviruses produced and studied at the Wuhan lab.

There may be plenty of virologists who think this couldn't possibly have come from a lab, but the problem right now is that when they say it couldn't possibly have come from a lab, they don't have any good reason, that I've seen, to support that conclusion, whereas there's a lot to suggest lab escape is possible. I'm willing to listen to people who know more than me, but I need them to actually show some evidence. The people who are showing evidence are those I linked to in my previous comment in points 3 and 4. It seems like there's a great deal of evidence for a lab escape.

Right, but there's still a lot of overlap between features. Take layout for example. If you wanted to arrange boxes using html and css, you have quite a few choices.

You yourself said "what he believes". Not "what he knows". That's not an insignificant detail. That seems like slander, really.

Very misleading headline. The exact word "huh?" does not exist in every language, it's more that every language has a word that functions like the English language word "huh".

I'd say it's a vicious circle. Chrome folks look at real world performance and optimize for that. Web devs see their site performing better and add more shit until their dev machine is almost bogging down. Rinse and repeat.
Yeah. The reason I mentioned it is to highlight that the business often needs to know what something will roughly cost and cannot just headfirst five into it. Estimation is a form of communication that addresses this.
Partial results like, say, a hardware exception firing instead of forcing the compiler to reason about it?

That's not really insider trading. Matt Levine pops up here all the time, and one of the really distilled mantras he has:
inside trading isn't about fairness, it's about theft.

Like the people who track flights to speculate on M&A, or use satellite and aerial imagery to look at parking lots. Gathering information isn't a crime, in fact gathering and acting on that information is explicitly what you want at an aggregate level. What you don't want is entities stealing or misappropriating information that doesn't belong to them. I think all the mentioned data categories are basically Fb's line of business, so if it's usable it seems like its pretty fair game.
I understand your point: any writer has a point of view and it may ooze out in his choice of words.

But a reporter should resist the desire to editorialize and instead emphasize the 5W's: who, what, where, when, why (and how):

If reporters did so, much contention would disssipate and we'd get more information (news) and less opinion - IMO a good thing.

Thanks, I didn't know there was a name for that grip. I sort of picked it up by osmosis through watching a ton of youtube videos. I wouldn't say one arrives at that grip automatically, but due to how fountain pen nibs behave and how ink flows, I have noticed many people stumbling upon that grip without instruction. It definitely is different from a ballpoint pen grip which as you've noted is more "hand-crampy".

I've a few Lamys but my favorite pens of the last year or so have been TWSBI ECO Fs, an upgrade from Pilot Metro Fs, which I find scratchy. I also have some super cheap Jinhaos that look good on the outside but are leaky. I gather most people buy Jinhaos for the exterior, and switch out the nibs.

An astoundingly cheap and surprisingly good fountain pen ($4) is the Japanese-made Platinum Preppy F. They write way better than Pilot Metros. I kind of think Preppys should be the recommended starter pens rather than Metros.

I grew up writing with cheap Parker fountain pens in elementary school-- those poor experiences colored my perceptions of pens until I tried better pens. If I had a Preppy, I would have started on my fountain pen journey earlier...
VPRI (Alan Kay's research institute) had a project called STEPS that's worth looking into. "From the desktop to the metal in 20,000 lines of code." They pretty much did it.
Google Analytics is free because it is a complementary good to advertising spend. If the director of marketing tell the CEO "this $1000 campaign on Google drove $50,000 of sales at a 10% profit margin", the CEO is going to okay a lot more advertising spend. This winds up in Google's pockets.

The same logic applies to why Amazon develops open-source software that makes developing cloud applications easier.

I dont believe it is a problem, you're misrepresenting my statement.

I said it is easy to see why it might be offensive. I am in no position to discern that but I also dont give a shit about what term you use, and its dated anyway. Further more, i find it trite to waste energy on these "decisive", and small sound bite sized issues that mean absolutely nothing to the vast majority of people.

Im discussing the use of the term master/slave in the context of a database master slave setup where one database has to take orders from another.

And you think its cute to "speculate" maybe im talking about where the word slave comes from? Opposed to, how it may or may not offend those with a cultural history of 400 years of slavery.

That is extremely disingenuous.
If Swift didn't have a non-negotiable -- because of its deployment on Apple platforms -- requirement for strong interop with ObjC, I firmly believe it would have been even more like Rust than it already is.

The flexibility that's enabled directly by ObjC's simplicity is just not a goal for Swift.

Agreed. These are frame geometry measurements, not contact point measurements as they are sometimes described in the article. A small but important distinction.

The sentence: "Stack gives an indication of how tall or upright a frame’s cockpit is."

Should be more along the lines of: "Stack gives an indication of how tall or upright a frame’s cockpit can be."

Frame geo is very useful info but it's best to think of it as an indicator of a range of points in space wherein you can reasonably position your contact points.

The OkCupid blog has robust data. Have you looked at that?

Not saying that these studies are not flawed, but the simple fact that Tinder and most of online dating is basically a looks based popularity contest hints at a problem for the median folks.

There's always a lot of new users, there are always a few young new and attractive users. So the majority just waits for the one. So the hot ones pair off, leave the platform (or come back and pair off with other hot ones, then repeat), but the Average Jane and Joe just waste their time and money while having their self-esteem crushed.
A core reason I think this is the case here is that the US insurers are not very "free-market": they are highly regulated & essentially oligopolistic. Their premium pricing bands are bounded by the Gov't who mandate that premiums don't exceed a certain % of what they actually spend on care. So, if they pay more for care, they can actually charge the customer more. This is like a contractor who can charge a % based on project size.

Of course in a "free market" system, competition based on premium price should counteract this. However, due to another complex set of factors, this pressure does not seem to be very effective. (This includes the US system being employer based, and again the relatively oligopolistic structure of insurers). That said, I'm still very surprised there's not more competitive pricing pressure in the US, despite what seems to be some strong potential corrective forces, like employers self-insuring to reduce their costs.

(setr's comment about the "retail" price not being the real one is true, but it's also true that insurers still pay more in reality in the US vs. other Countries).

A Man in Seat Sixty-One – The Train Travel Guide
I don't think I see the logical consistency you're talking about. In one case, there is a black man killing another black man. To me it seems highly unlikely that race was a motivating factor. In the other case, there is a white man killing a black man. Without further knowledge if the situation, we can't say whether race was involved here either - but in so many recent cases we have seen that race is near the root of such killings. Arbery is such an example, where the killers made racial slurs at him indicating their views towards black people.

I don't think your quote is logically consistent; the man is talking about actions taking place in a vacuum where race isn't a factor, which doesn't apply to the current environment.

So where it does it start and where does it end?

What threshold must you cross (in terms of platform size) for silence to equal complicity? Since it apparently doesn't apply to you, but it does apply to a GitHub repo.

Once you've made up your imaginary platform size threshold, which movements must people not be silent on, lest they find themselves complicit through silence? Is it ALL political movements? Those READMEs are gonna get pretty long if so. Is it only the "most important political issue at the moment" that needs to be voiced? Who decides what the most pressing issue is? Is there some sort of vote going on that I don't know about? When is it OK to start being silent again? If he puts up a BLM message in his repo and then takes it down the next day, is that OK? Or does he need to keep it in there forever (because presumably Black Lives always Matter, so he should keep it in there indefinitely, right?)

There are way, way too many things going on for silence to mean complicity.

Take any other humanitarian crisis, and ask yourself if anyone silent must be complicit. Think about it for a second. It's just not true. If someone in Germany were to not speak out against the Nazis rounding up Jews, but at the same time was hiding Jews in their basement, would that person be "complicit" in the Nazis crimes?
