It sounds like you are arguing for tort reform. They can sue anyways regardless of whether they read the policy and regardless of whether the suit is groundless. All it takes to create a law suit is to issue a motion to the court. Whether or not the suit is frivolous is for the court to decide in response to an opposing motion.

Long- or short-term investor return?

At a certain point in debates like this everyone ends up over-examining analogies to a point where it isn't useful. To be a useful parallel you'd need a world where you can only buy two types of car and each one only lets you go to one type of shopping mall, or something like that. My point is, that isn't how either the real world works or how smartphone app stores work, so it's a debate over nothing.

Let's look at a situation where Google is seeking to protect it's own cut of the action.

It might be impossible to compute, but we still want to compute it.

Or rather, get some agreement. I would say not only it is impossible to compute, the question of relative human pay for different types of work is a meaningless question, like asking, what is more important on a car, tires or engine?

It should be noted that the US decided to stop recognising Taiwan (as ROC) when they rightly concluded that the PRC could not longer be ignored and they recognised it as the government of China.

That's the 'beauty' of geopolitics: Do anything then switch and do the opposite as long as it suits your interests.

Hype cycles are real, but Go wasn't really involved in one. Go generally lives up to its promises; with a few exceptions, Go's critics mostly take issue with Go for eliding features they believe are necessary for software development--their criticisms are framed as "Go lacks features I like so it can't be good". In particular, they're often (but not always) inexperienced with the language and haven't actually tested Go's specific feature set with respect to whether or not it improves their ability to develop software (i.e., they have faith in their favorite features, but aren't willing to test that faith by trying Go in earnest). But there's no material "trough of disappointment"--people who tried Go mostly like it and find that it lived up to its promises and most of the critics are simply disingenuous and defensive (this isn't a convenient writing off of critics, it's evidenced by the substance of their criticism--not that this will spare me any downvotes).

You were imlplying people who "don't understand the problem" (as in, they share my opinion) are generally lacking certain experiences, which is fundamentally nothing different than profiling them based on superficial attributes, which is exactly what's being criticised.

I'm not taking issue with you doing that, I was just aiming to illustrate the fact that everyone does this constantly. It's easier than thinking - it saves energy, we evolved to do it. It'll be hard to get rid of this and therefore maybe shouldn't be in the focus as much as it is.

But it says "on other music players". It doesn't really specify, but I would say that "Spotify" is the music player, and you still need to use it whether it is on the browser or other platform, but it is still "the same music player". I guess that the second case is more related to buying digital content, say an image, music, video, where you get the actual right to use that image, music, video on any platform. But I could be wrong.

In any case, as other users mentioned, if Apple music really lets ANY developer create an application that may reproduce the purchased content, then it may look fine.
Apple does not have a monopoly in the smartphone market, but it does have a dominant position there and a monopoly in the tablet segment where it does the same thing.

Spotify doesn't 'charge fees to artists', they charge fees to listeners and advertisers, to create a revenue pool, to pay out to artists.

And while that payout pool is roughly 70% of revenue, meaning they keep roughly 30%, the other point to be made there is that in the US the Copyright Royalties Board sets the repayment %'s, not Spotify, and they are increasing.

Nelson Mandela spent years in prison; MLK was assassinated. It is not every single black person's job to be on the front lines.

The point I glean from OC is that he can't do the work. He can't stop people from being racist. That's not only not his job, it's also an impossible task. The people who need to do the work are the people who are making conscious or unconscious biased choices which disproportionately impact black lives. It's not up to black people. It's up to everybody else to do that work.

First, it is important to distinguish between electricity and electronics.

The difference is like being physicist and mechanic. Do you want to be physicist and understand electricity as a phenomena or do you want to be an engineer and use it for something useful. Believe me, there is less overlap than you think.

One good resource I have found is series of articles on http://amasci.com/ele-edu.html which mixes a little bit of both worlds.

Web technologies and software distribution are separate. Heavily-curated app stores may arise on the web and gain market power. Likewise native apps could be loaded directly from URLs.

I strongly disagree that "implementing the same app twice" is wasted effort. Write-once-run-everywhere is a recipe for shitty software. But a native app designed for the platform it runs on can be very high quality.

This is why the iPhone succeeded: its software was just so much higher quality than the alternatives at the time. And this is also why the iPhone's original web-app plan (the "sweet solution") failed.
Sounds like a common math mistake. Wouldn't it have to be 42.857143% more expensive to make up for giving Apple a 30% cut of the total? Or is Google just throwing up its hands here? Or is their math that bad? Or maybe my math is bad, I don't know.

Not necessarily, what's happening is 2 things:

- You're growing as a professional so you're worth more. But your current company doesn't necessarily see that, some colleagues might still see you as the intern you were when you joined

- The market of developer salary have been growing steadily for more than 10 years, but you can only capture that growth by changing jobs

So if you've been working for 10 years, you could do about 3 years at each company and have a 30% increase each time - the point is that 10 years ago you were junior with a 2010 salary but today you're senior with a 2020 salary.

Or course things could change if developers salaries stop growing (or even shrink).
Yes that’s a solution to the problem but it shouldn’t be the solution.

> I would have loved to stay at my first organization.

Have you considered going back to the original place you liked eventually? I speak from experience. A bit less than a year ago I started back at somewhere I worked previously. If you left on good terms, it can be an extremely easy and low-stress transition compared to starting at a new business, and hiring can be easier too, as the company already knows for the most part whether you're a good cultural and skill fit (depending on how similar the job you're applying for is to what you did previously).

> The thing is, my current salary at my original organization isn't unheard of for that level of responsibility at all, the problem is that getting that kind of adjustment is impossible.

Sometimes it's easier to leave and come back later to reset expectations like that. Hiring salaries seem to be completely disconnected from promotion salary adjustments at some locations, or at least engender a different mindset.

I have a friend that noted at a prior place they worked (I believe it was SAP) that they encouraged, or at least maybe accepted and understood, that employees would leave to work at other places, and had programs in place to encourage them to come back with those new experiences and skills. If a company is large enough to have opening often and expects to be around in 10-20 years, it probably makes a lot of sense to have a program like that. As a company, why not take advantage of other companies paying and training your good employees for a few years (when the alternative is to just assume them lost forever)?
Oh it definitely can be faked. But so many orgs don’t even attempt to show they’re faking it.
More than just one native client, depending your platform, there are multiple clients! So if the official client doesn't do it for you, you've got a choice, and if you're so inclined you could even write your own!

On macOS I use the semi-official Swift/Cocoa client instead of the main Qt-based one.

Other messaging apps wouldn't be so bad if alternative clients were a possibility, because inevitably someone would build better clients. Messaging app platforms should have open APIs and welcome third party client devs, not chase them away.

2. I'm talking about the switch to WebExtensions, https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions/FAQ, which every major browser followed Chrome in doing, which was largely done for security reasons

3. Firefox does not manually review every extension, they perform some cursory virus/malware scans, same as Google. I think you're really overplaying the idea that Firefox has some manual review process ensuring only quality and safe extensions are uploaded. The best way to demonstrate this is to point out that Firefox must frequently ban released extensions -- extensions which passed these so called reviews.
As a vegetarian, I find ingredient lists pretty reliable and useful, and consult them regularly. There are a lot of non-obvious things you have to look out for if you're vegan, but even there it's usable and useful.

With a few things people like to avoid, it's tricky -- MSG notably can be under a bunch of different names -- but most common allergies are clearly highlighted, or at least not hidden.

If you don''t have specific things you need to avoid, then of course a list of the specific things in it is not useful, but why/how would it be? It has a purpose and it serves that purpose.

"Is this healthy?" isn't an answerable question. There's no one specific answer true for multiple people--it's analogous to "Will this website respect my privacy?" On the other hand, "Is this vegetarian" and "Will this website share my data with third parties" are. (Or are closer to being so.)

I want to know if there's meat in an item of food, and the label tells me that in a fairly easy-to-read format.

I want to know if my data will be shared to third-parties by a website, and the privacy policy maybe provides it to me, but in a very inaccessible manner.

Interesting that the article chides the US military for not preventing China from militarising their own neighbourhood (South China Sea). However there’s nothing wrong apparently with the US militarising the Caribbean, or the South China Sea for that matter.
