> An app developer may decide to only list their app on an alternative store because they pay lower fees and they can handle payments themselves. As a user you now need to choose between not using the app or giving your credit card information to the app developer you may not trust.

But then this is competitive pressure for Apple to charge lower fees and allow apps to handle payments themselves, at which point the app would be back in Apple's store because the customer prefers to buy it from there. Everyone benefits (except Apple).

Meanwhile if you don't want to give the app your credit card number, you still don't have to. Refuse until they use Apple's payment method. If most users share your unwillingness then developers will still have to use a payment method you do trust. If they don't, what right do you have to constrain the choices of the other users?

Do you think it’s possible to enter a credit card number into a steaming video of ‘friends’?

A steaming app (game or not) can pop up a fraudulent credit card payment interface at any time.

Fortunate for those of us who don't wield monopoly power over a marketplace.
If it provides that much consumer value then people shouldn't be worried about a little bit of competition. This feels more to me like a certain subset of users siding with Apple because their values happen to align with Apple's avenue for generating profit from the App Store.

If Apple's goal was protecting their consumers, they could easily roll back the contested parts of their policy while protecting consumers AND still make a profit.
This sounds really stressful. Have you considered any virtual childcare/tutoring options? I run a digital learning pod that meets 3 hours a day. We use the online medium to our advantage, working together on math apps, yoga, science lessons, critical reading (sharing the screen) and other engaging activities. The kids love it and barely every need help from their parents. If you find apps and games your kids love, it's a lot easier to get them to focus than on stuff they dislike. Happy to recommend tools to you if it's helpful. My email is manisha@modulo.app

Why then all those monopoly-discussions? Cannot any program be 'side-loaded' by creating a personal team?

Or the other way round: What good would be a personal team for epic if they cannot test their games on actual phones?

If personal teams allow side-loading of apps, why isn't this a way to distribute apps? Why is there no app store for personal team apps?
I feel happy that aside of doing couple of small contract things I've never had to deal with App stores and their respective owners. I just can't tolerate that kind of control over my products hence refuse to participate.
I don't see the point you are making.

If video streaming is so bad, Netflix should not be on the App Store for "iDevice security". If video game streaming is so bad, Twitch should not be on the App Store for "iDevice security".
Lest your comment suggest the author of this article isn't aware of this point, he has made this argument precisely:

> Whereas China needed to control country-wide Internet access to achieve its censorship goals, Apple and Google have helpfully provided the Indian government with a one-stop shop. This also, for better or worse, gives a roadmap for how the U.S. government could respond to TikTok, if it chose to: there is no need to build a great firewall — simply give the order to Apple and Google. Centralization, at least from a central government’s perspective, has its uses.

> then users have to install ALL app stores if they want access to the entire market

You didn't have access to the entire market when Netflix was the only store. You had access to Netflix's market, and all of the other shows that are currently being funded by competitors didn't exist.

You could still use only Netflix today if you wanted to. The only difference is that now you are aware of what you are missing.

How many developers have consciously chosen to abandon the entire mobile market because of how toxic it is, because of how tailored the market is to a very specific sub-genre of mass-market apps and games? How many developers have abandoned iOS because their games touched on political or serious topics that Apple decided weren't suitable for their store? Many of us are not interested in creating the types of apps that thrive on the current mobile app stores, so we've abandoned the mobile market entirely.

When you can only see a tiny part of the world, you think that you have access to all of it. Once the walls get taken down and you realize how big the world is, then you realize how much of it you didn't have.

I completely sympathize with the frustration of not being able to get access to some of this stuff. I won't sign up for Netflix because of their DRM and anti-consumer practices. There are some shows I can't watch because of that. Trust me, I get the pain.

But having only one streaming platform forever would have been worse. So much of the original content that's coming out on Netflix only exists because Netflix had to compete. There are really good shows that are HBO/Hulu/Disney+ originals. I want that media to exist, even if I can't personally get at it right now.
That's the beauty of Nerves in my opinion. We aren't trying to be a web framework. If that's what you want, bring it yourself.
Nerves is here as a tooling for deploying your application to hardware platforms. It takes care of all the stuff that most people don't want to deal with. This means that aside from learning some basic mix tasks (`mix firmware` to assemble your firmware and `mix burn` to write it to an SD Card), you don't need to "learn Nerves" only "learn Elixir".
Their app isn't on the store, so no they shouldn't pay fees beyond whatever Apple charge for the privelege of being a developer on their platform. Not sure why not paying App Store fees (because of not having an app on the store) would justify removing access to all developer accounts and tools.

> I don't see iPhone owners complaining about App Store rules

Well, as someone outside of US and its culture, I see every now and then how people dislike Apple enforcing its morals on apps. Example: even if your app is rated 18+ and contains UGC, you still can't have any porn in it. Even if it's censored by default but there's a setting to show it. They demand that you completely obliterate any content that is even slightly erotical, let alone overtly pornographic, or have your app banished from the app store.

And don't even get me started on "illegal file sharing".

I've seen this from both sides. As a user, you blame Apple for seeing a placeholder when trying to view a VK group that contains suggestive imagery in one of its photo albums. As a developer, you roll your eyes when your bug fix update gets rejected an umpteenth time with the reason being "we turned safe search off, typed 'porn' into the search box and naked people came up". It just feels like a dictatorship state, and a very prude one.
The term "meditation" has such a fuzzy meaning these days. It really refers to prolonged concentration on something. We do this all the time. Yogis or occultists refine the term further into 3 stages: a brief concentration, a prolonged concentration (i.e. meditation) on something real and tangible like a symbol, and meditation on the idea behind that something real and tangible. Knowledge workers are very familiar with meditation, although they don't recognize it as a special activity. However that 3rd stage is unattainable for most people today: ideas are qualitatevily different. Mastering meditation on ideas switches mind into a special state. From that point directing mind at things like sun, moon, light or more abstract ideas like the relationship between space and sound produces significant effects or just summons ideas and thoughts about them. This is how great scientists make discoveries: they direct their mind at some topic and summon ideas about it (they don't produce ideas with induction or deduction) and then they materialise ideas into more tangible math.
Oh no, they should close the App Store where my business lives and we should return to iPhoneOS 1 era.

HI
https://wordpress.org/plugins/one-click-read-more/
Psychosis triggered by a very unexpected and emotionally strong event doesn't need immediate treatment. You may put yourself back together in a short amount of time and actually getting help may be worse in the long run as you will probably start adjusting variables in your life, like taking meds or getting closer or more distant to particular people, that not necessarily lead to the self-improvement you need.

The whole point of those long retreats is to be able to push yourself to those limits knowing that you will have some days to rest after and that people that are used to handling psychotic people after they had a reveal or something will be around to help you.

Of course as mostly everything that involves a 10 day long gathering with idiosyncratic strangers you need to be careful.
Epic is not suing Apple because Apple used nefarious means to achieve dominance. You, I and Epic would probably all agree they earned that dominance fair and square.

But once you have dominance different rules apply.

You linked to google. Should you pay them?

If you shouldn’t, why should google pay to link to news? Google news is not a profit center for google. They make money from ads.

The whole “pay us for sending us traffic” argument has the economics of the web completely backwards. Organizations try to get links, as it sends them traffic.

Should hacker news pay money to the sites it links to? Or do they benefit from being here?

They had and have a large/enterprise customer sales culture. There were few SMB sales for IBM back in TWSr's days (how small a mainframe do you want? Still costs a mint.)[1] and now that IBM has SMB product to sell, they aren't interested in the building out a sales org to address that market[2]. So they've done what almost everyone else has done and outsourced that to a channel.

[1] Yes I know IBM used to sell everything down to the pens and pencils, but virtually always to support some very expensive other purchase.
[2] Yes I know IBM has things called "SMB sales" or some variation. From my experience at IBM, they were either targeting some specific product/market combo, or they were a bad joke; not exactly the A-team. YMMV.

> The mechanisms used by Hey and xCloud would clearly be used by less trustworthy companies for nefarious purposes.

Sorry but no.

What mechanism was “Hey” using that could possibly be abused by a malicious app or malicious app author?

If “Hey” advertised themselves as B2B without any self-service option then Apple, by their own words, would have let the app on the store. Being B2C or having self-service (even if the self-service is outside of the app!) means Apple requires you to have a sign-up form in the app - and if you take punters’ money then that means you need to use IAP and so give Apple their 30% rent. The outrage isn’t over this requirement itself, but because Apple arbitrarily carved-out undocumented exceptions for Netflix, Amazon Kindle, and other “reader” apps even though they’re B2C and self-service - which we can tell is because Apple would get into a worse spat and lose public opinion if they tried to pull Netflix or Amazon’s apps for the same reason.
Adding food storage to countries where that capability doesn't exist is a huge multiplier in their agronomic efficiency. There is some excellent discussion of this in the book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" which discusses how these forces shaped the changes in human civilizations.

There is a trifecta of the art of code, the art of discipline (engineering), and the art of servicing others (business).

A core challenge is that "success" in the modern day starts with business --> engineering --> art.

Like, you will read countless articles of "sit with your customer" or "customer obsession" or "code first and you will fail", but that is from the perspective that business > engineering > art.

Handmade exists such that art > engineering > business.

I praise it just like I praise a handmade piece of furniture made by a master. However, I have the luxury to appreciate it.

The real struggle is finding a place in life between the spectrum of art and business. The key that I have found is the see the spectrum, appreciate it, and adjust the career to find balance, learn what you can, and move on.

My hope is to retire focusing 75% art and 25% engineering, and not worry about the business side. For instance, I have built a programming language for board games: http://www.adama-lang.org/

The key thing that I am focused on is how I think about success, and my #1 metric is whether or not I enjoy working on it.
> Is there any summary of this evidence that you think is compelling?

The meta-analyses in [1] are a good starting point. Note that in particular in a clinical setting, the intervention usually comprise more than just the meditation aspects, e.g. psycho-education, a group setting, or some form of body movement.

You can find further evidence if you pick a specific intervention, e.g.
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) [2], which is considered the ancestor of modern mindfulness-based interventions.

However, you might find it more compelling to learn about the mechanism rather than effectiveness. In that case an interesting starting point are the studies that have been done on Buddhist monks as "extreme points" in the set of meditators, e.g. see the references in [3].

Regarding the original article, I find the title a bit clickbaity (X can worsen depression and anxiety is true for almost all X, in particular doing nothing can worsen depression and anxiety!) and it is a bit concerning to me that the author does not differentiate between mindfulness and meditation.

I couldn't find the paper from the article, my understanding is that 8 % of subjects reported adverse effects when doing a self-guided mindfulness meditation. I find 8 % quite low - 92 % did not report adverse effects?

Hi, I'd love to know the name of our homeschool consultant (and I'm sure others would as well) if you're willing to share.

With regards to social isolation, if you're interested, we run a digital learning pod to help kids stay connected and develop social-emotional skills online. We meet twice a week and activities are designed to keep all members participating actively and engaging with each other and the facilitator. Kids facetime and skype outside the group and meet up for interest-based groups as well. It's working so well that some kid who had no friends at school when they were meeting kids in person now have developed wonderful friends with kids in the group.

Several of our kids are highly gifted or have other considerations. If you'd like to try it out, we'd love to have your son in our group. It's a unique challenge helping kids feel connected using an online medium, but we've discovered, not impossible and can even increase the diversity of the group since kids can connect from all around the world.

Here's also another article I wrote on Staying Connected which might be helpful.
