> Meanwhile Apple's actual competition in the App store market does the exact same ban

Google Play doesn't compete with Apple's app store or Apple's payment processing... since you can't install Google Play on IPhones.

Fortnite does compete with Apple, in terms of payment processing. Fortnite chose to do it themselves (to get standing), and were promptly banned from operating on IPhones. Epic Games distributes Fortnite themselves in their own app store, but apple has prevented that app store from being installed on IPhones.

> In an actual court of law (rather than court of public opinion) there is no way Epic will win especially since Google took the same stance.

You definitely shouldn't be stating this this strongly. You might think it's a weak argument (I don't), but it's certainly far from hopeless.

If you'll excuse the appeal to authority (since repeating the fine legal arguments in the brief seems pointless, you can read them better written there). Look at who has signed onto this complaint for a moment. The lawyers representing Epic Games include a former Federal Trade Commissioner and senate confirmed assistant Attorney General heading the anti-trust division (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_A._Varney) and a former judge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_B._Forrest). You don't get people like this to represent you if they don't agree with you.

I watched this happen a few jobs ago. New CTO came in and changed everything. Fired all the Business analysts and gutted a few other teams. The few remote workers were told to move back or say goodbye.
It's interesting to read through the 'Timeline of the Far Future' Wikipedia article and see the diversity in theories on how the universe can end, some in bangs and other in whimpers.

Humble Bundle works like this on Android too. You just need to enable apps from unknown sources.

No, I think role value is different. Sport teams are doing what will make them will the most games by getting the role the need. Sometimes the players in the position in abundance will be good enough to make adjustments to offset the bad ratio, (see the center position for the rockets this year) but it's a rare scenario.

For a software comparison, it is like finding a Data Engineer for a Front End position. Sure if the Data Engineer is super smart, you can have him or her switch roles for a bit; but if the needs are immediate, like they are in the NBA, it is not going to produce the best results.
Not all viewpoints have equal value.

There is a very real difference between disagreeing over how to interpret actual reality (e.g. disagreeing over what is an acceptable level of income inequality in society) and disagreeing over manufactured issues created by feeding lies to people to make them fear for their society because of threats that do not exist.

There was no legitimate argument over whether pre-Brexit UK was on the verge of being invaded by Syrian terrorists, whether Obama is an American citizen, or whether there were 'caravans' of migrant-criminals approaching the US-Mexico border. These entire concepts, and the 'polar differences' they created, were entirely fraudulent inventions that Facebook was used to fabricate.

This is the face of the political use of Facebook, and for that it should be shut down.
>Currently we focus on breast cancer and offer two types of services: virtual office visits and Liyfe membership. For virtual office visits, patients can choose to get a treatment second opinion, talk to a doctor, nutrition coaching, and emotional support.

As someone who gets pretty bad medical anxiety, this sounds really great. I've thankfully never had anything as sever as cancer, but I know that my family doctor and hospital staff, while professional and skilled at their jobs, were not always available for things like emotional support, general questions, nutrition info, etc. I'm sure this service will be helpful to many, so good luck!
It’s for the US only. Would be surprising for Apple to only have 40% in the US.

Moved to Reno, NV. Already sold all my property in the bay area and went back to renting. No state income tax in NV! and we have lake tahoe close by. I sold my property because I'm figuring that the bay area is going to be less appealing from a property investment stand point, so I cashed out while prices are still high.

I honestly don't see companies going back to in-office stuff, at least not as much as it was in the past. I could see meetings and stuff like that being in-person. My company has already basically transitioned to 100% online and our productivity has increased overall so no way we are going back to in-office working exclusively.
Knowing the speech was a fake and paying attention to it "skeptically" I noticed the double head-bob as an odd thing which seemed suspiciously convenient as a transition between cut-n-pastes.

Now I'm going to have to go and watch archival Nixon footage to see if the same thing is there or not :)
When Microsoft services are built around the Windows platform and the experts are used to using GUIs to configure them, you are destined to have outages. Linux services are built with automation and microservices in mind and are much easier to integrate into scalable solutions like Kubernetes.
I'm curious about the numbers — you saved $275k (annually, on average) after taxes and living expenses as a regular engineer? That implies a pre-tax salary of $420k if you ignore living expenses, which add at least another $30k in pre-tax earnings. I'm sure there are engineers who make $450k in SV, but you imply that this is possible/easy for folks who are 21. Maybe I'm wrong, but that seems pretty high for someone straight out of college.

Note: I'm not including interest/investment income from annual savings, and perhaps that's part of how you made money. Certainly it has been easy to make money buying tech stocks in the last 10 years. But that's not always the case, and even including investment gains I'm having a hard time seeing $2.2M being a typical or easy amount to save from age 21 to 29.

That said, I worked as a lawyer for 7 years, saved a decent amount, paid off my loans, and then started a startup. It was a good path for me, but man I never had $2.2M in the bank, even having worked at a well-known international firm and being on the partner track.

Apple is being investigated by numerous governments around the world [1][2] for antitrust regarding their app store, and just lost an antitrust case in Russia [3]. Epic Games simply adds a big name to the list.

Staying in Brooklyn, but without a commute. New York is still a nice place to live, and rent prices seem to have come down 10-20%.

Not looking forward to the dystopian future when the econ theory of "price discrimination" is adopted by state and local governments, and they target people who pay property taxes through an escrow account. Once the mortgage is paid off just bump up the property tax to match the amount of the previous monthly mortgage payment and see who notices. Instead of a 30 year mortgage, it can be called in infinite mortgage at which point 99% of people will all effectively be renters
Do you mean Allo? Duo is very much not discontinued.
I have to respectfully disagree. Tearing down and rebuilding is not a universal good, and I wish we were more careful about building well in the first place and preserving the history and context of the people who came before us. To me this means that the initial build was well-conceived and a good long term investment as that capital and labor expenditure has lasted a long time. Tearing down and rebuilding is wasteful.

Wholly agree with you. That's what I'm always hoping for when big company X does a blog post about thing Y, that they actually show some examples about how they have implemented thing Y as otherwise the post falls a bit flat (for me).
Just look at the PC platform Epic is coming from. It used to be just buying retail boxes, then Steam came along. Now it's Steam, Epic, Origin, Uplay. Personally, I hate keeping track of the separate apps and which games were purchased with each. So I avoid most of them even for games I want to play. Its one of the things that makes me prefer consoles.

The current situation seems more anti-business than anti-consumer (it is both). Pro-consumer would be requiring any purchase be decoupled from that distribution platform.
Great point! Windows is already tested on CI, but I used the opportunity to make Windows support explicit in the project goals.
They do also still allow sideloading on android. Which was actually what their update did on Apple too (you can buy things via apple pay, or directly from us for less money)

Actually they just got banned on android as well, so now they only allow sideloading on android.

I've always been fascinated by the Arecibo Observatory. There was a ham radio operator who was an early employee there. I met him at the Dayton Ham convention in the early seventies.

I planned a trip to Puerto Rico around ten years later. Unfortunately I suffered bad food poisoning on Guadeloupe and by the time I got to San Juan I was so ill that I had to cut out the trip to Arecibo. Still want to see it someday.

> Whatever land was appropriated, was done so as a result of Arab aggression

What part of "it's illegal to appropriate someone's land even after an aggression" you don't understand?

And it's illegal for a reason, not because the international community is evil. Also, what aggression specifically gave Israel permission to settle hundreds of thousands of people in the West Bank in the last 20 years?

> Israel has repeatedly offered to give it back for peace

Peace comes after Israel has returned what has misappropriated, not before. This seems pretty obvious to me. Even more obvious is that if Israel had any intention to give the land back in any foreseeable future, it wouldn't have built entire f.....g cities on it!

Seriously, I can't understand if you're trying to deceive only me or yourself too.

If it's cold enough, and you throw a cup of boiling hot water in to the air, every bit of the thrown water will turn in to something like snow, and no liquid comes back down. It seems like the size of the flung water droplets is important, like if the water is thrown more vigorously the effect is more pronounced.

I wintered at the South Pole in 2014, the year the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was a big thing. One of our crew did it, outside. We discovered a similar effect: when it's even colder out, maybe -80s F: ice water makes what looks like a cloud of steam - in the video (sorry, can't find it quickly) it looked a bit like he was cheating.

Good point. Anonymity is good for some things, bad for others. Likewise, though, talk to anybody from a small town and they'll complain about the "tyranny" of everybody knowing who you are, who your family is, and where you live.

So, there's a sweet spot somewhere between perfect freedom/privacy and perfect accountability/justice. It shouldn't take authoritarianism to sort out but we need to fight hard for the right balance of norms and laws to adapt to changing technology. Should my neighbor be allowed to fly a drone at the level of my daughter's bedroom window? Is it acceptable to record my every move and identify my face in a private shopping mall?
This is true. I installed two stores for games. Only one autoloads.

And I have a few programs I have bought entirely outside these stores.

This suits me.

And that is the main complaint for a lot of people. The option for users to suit themselves. We can vote with the wallet and go non-apple. But we're allowed to express desires and wishes too.

Apple already has a similar practice in place for desktop apps with Notarization, does it not?

I don’t see how we can’t get to a point where we have something similar for iOS. They can limit the APIs they have access to and the User has the choice.
> Security updates are a plus, but introducing bugs through a shared library is a minus.

The minus you mention is a consequence of "Move break fast things" webshit philosophy that's so pervasive these days.

Depending on undocumented behaviour and not properly documenting behaviour.

Edit: and forgot to mention ignorance towards security updates caused by modern PL package version locking etc..

It is a culture problem and technology can only do so much to fix that.
> First engineering decisions are often based on superficial fashions because fashion influence executives, investors, engineering leadership, and available talent.

Executives and investors aren't hip to the latest software engineering trends, and even if they are, it's not at all common that non-technical executives are asking engineers to rewrite the business in a new framework, this is pretty much never what they want, even in the rare case when that's actually a good idea.

As far as engineering leadership goes, if they're rewriting the business based on technology fashion they're simply a terrible engineering leader and that is the consensus opinion within the industry.

Finally, the talent pool argument just doesn't square with reality; the JS talent pool is one of the most robust in existence, the idea that businesses are having trouble hiring engineers because their JS frameworks are going out of date is fiction.

> So wasm is no better than JS, and it isn't a better compilation target. Except where it is better. But that's irrelevant because the straw men you're conjuring don't think that part matters. Gotcha.

Wow. That's a very disingenuous twisting of what I wrote. It's not a starwman, it's an extremely common criticism of the js ecosystem, i.e. that it has too much complexity and that all these fancy tools don't contribute much of anything useful except fluff for cowboy programmers to pad their resumes. The use of the word "churn" implies that nothing useful is gained, otherwise it's not "churn" it's "progress" and something to be lauded rather than looked down on.

> The concern is rapid adoption and abandonment of frameworks within potential employers.

Right... so potential employers who want to build front-end web applications have an overflowing arsenal of battle-tested front-end tooling in the JS ecosystem and now WASM comes along and offers an exponential increase of nascent front-end tooling options, yet somehow you can't connect the dots between why the introduction of these tools in the WASM ecosystem produces EXACTLY the same effect as it does when new tools are introduced into the JS ecosystem. How long before we start to see "Why we rebuilt our front-end in Rust/Ruby/Go/Haskell etc" blogs hitting the front-page? It's exactly the same damn thing.
According to the statement, it doesn't require that the information was "hacked." It's only used as an example of something they would ban. It also doesn't limit it to one country. If the information would interfere in an election, perhaps even China's democratic centralism, according to this statement, it should be banned.

So any secrets that politicians have been trying to cover up should not be shared on YouTube. Any disclosures of corruption in any government should be kept to another platform. It seems that this would exclude all news organizations from using YouTube to broadcast if enforced fairly, but I would guess that they would use a more narrow definition of "interfere."
Its very deceptive. All those kids who have had their game shut off aren't going to be happy, but they're learning a valuable lesson.

Fortnite isn't just a game anymore, its where a lot of kids are hanging out. concerts, movies and other things are happening there.
And this is why you don't get your information from Wikipedia regarding any controversial topic.
Well how do you define how much control is enough? You can still download Fortnite and put it on your device, just through the app store.

If every Tom, Dick and Harry could setup an app store for the iPhone, this doesn't necessarily give me more control. It might mean I am then forced to use the Epic platform for all Epic related products. Now how do I know that Epic have appropriately vetted their application? What if they start producing applications for the iPhone which are terrible?

This is a big problem on the Google store whereby plenty of the apps are rubbish.
Epic has a platform on PC, I imagine they just see the writing on the wall for phone app stores and held off.
A PR stunt that consumers and small businesses could benefit from. 30% decimates indie studios and makes some apps fiscally nonviable.
