Can you expand on that, it sounds interesting
They take 5% if the customer gets to your app via a direct link. But they take 15% if the customer gets to your app via their store.

This actually aligns incentives really well. If the user came to you because of the marketing you directly did, you don't pay much more than if you had organised the sale directly on your website.

But Microsoft is incentivised to attract people to buying apps through their shop experience directly, and if they do, they get rewarded for it. These are customers that you might not otherwise have attracted yourself, so it's not unreasonable to pay a higher amount for them.

I think it's a really great model and I wish that other stores would adopt it.

I guess I've not worked in big enough corporates to use this.

Can any user here provide some context what JFrog does? The website doesn't really say much, the example pipeline files for JFrog pipelines seem more complex than GitLab CI.
You don’t want to be without a chair when the music stops. The evidence points to now being an ideal time to get public market liquidity at a high valuation. Even bankrupt companies (Hertz) saw...exuberance from investors.
Much like "nohello.com", I assume that it exists to be easily memorable and recognizable in a profile.

Good point, and I assume that mediators probably can’t consider anti-trust matters while courts can.
If a game deliberately bypassed paying Microsoft their cut of the in-game transactions, you think that Microsoft would be fine leaving the game in the store doing this?
Will Blazor make WebAssembly the popular choice for front end?
Microsoft still get’s their ~20% for games sold in other stores. So, in terms of Microsoft’s profit on XBox those sales channels are closer to downloading over WiFi vs cellular modems.

They also prevent other digital retailers from selling on the XBox which is very relevant for in game purchases.
I hope we can also get rid of VAT.
I dont want to pay the 20% on everything because my government cant manage things more efficiently.

You say I should just move to a country with a lower VAT? Yeah not that easy.

I dont condone apple on what they are doing with their platform but you need to understand that Apple sets a standard and that standard costs money.
> - Apple forbids people from buying content on their website.

Not quite. Apple forbids directing users to a web site from within your app to sidestep in-app purchases. If you offer any digital purchases through your app, they must use IAP.
The original dotcom bubble had every possible company that stuck "on the internet" to their description, whether it made sense or not. This is a solution which is designed for what it does and has lots of existing customers. I'm not sure it's comparable at all.
Interesting. Everyone was giving Uber a lot of heat on HN for writing similar stuff in their S-1.
There is also the fear that Windows Store goes the way of Plays For Sure(tm) (that name still makes me giggle) or Games For Windows Live (Lost few purchases there).

Steam has longetivity. MS stores mean that you rent the product for maybe 5 years or bit more.

I don’t buy this at all. No one finds out that Go lacks generics when they’re neck deep in a project, it’s widely known ahead of time. If you need something that is type-safe >95% of the time, Go isn’t the answer (yet, anyway) and you rule it out before the first line of code is written and move on to other languages (of course, lots of life-or-death applications are written in C which has a weaker type system than Go, so I would also be skeptical about applications that need >95% type safety).
Because being allowed to legally bribe politicians (lobbying), influence them which basically means that politicians have interest of corporations at heart and not that of general population is democracy. Being able to rig primaries so that a candidate that people wanted to vote for as a president can't run for the elections is democracy. Gotcha.
Good. I hope Appe loses this.
Better tech would be nice to have, but the most important part in my opinion is the paradigm shift itself. Medical institutions do offer comprehensive check-ups for healthy individuals already. It's just that not many healthy individuals actually bother to do this. Better tech would just make it easier to increase the data resolution. Which is important, especially as one ages, but not absolutely necessary for enacting the principle itself.

Currently it seems that preventive care is widely accepted and practiced only in a handful of medicine subfields. Gynecology and dentistry come to mind. But this should apply to health care in general.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying "humanities bad science good rah rah rah," this very conversation is a humanities conversation, and I clearly like the humanities enough to participate in it. All I am saying is that the phenomenon of "ideological camps," where virtually everything said by one camp is incomprehensible to or considered loony by every other camp, exists in the humanities but not in science.

String theory and loop quantum gravity are different theories, but they are not ideological camps, because the methods and conclusions of the researchers of one are all totally acceptable to researchers of the other. Likewise, believers in every proposed Alzheimers mechanism will agree with each other on the existence of proteins, prions, DNA, and metabolism.

Why not dumping into SQLite? It makes everything easy, and we will be able to use sqlite3 for a long time IMO.
That's surprising to me. I would have expected the latter to lead to a subconcious "no" upon reading the first sentence, and then you're arguing uphill against that position.

I suppose the former is more likely to be mentally filtered out as spam or marketing before the end of the first sentence (no aspersions upon you or your communication! It's valuable. But it also looks similar to the format of spam or marketing, through no fault of your own)
Talk to people and understand their pain is something you can do without a single line of code. We did that with Sysdig. That said, I'm a firm believer in remote work. I work most of the time remotely and invest in distributed teams whenever I can. What is missing in remote work is serendipity; we lack the right tools, and so today, in-person meetings still matter. That is the secret weapon of being in San Francisco. Things happen all the time. The perfect plan is to have the founding team in the Bay Area and all the rest distributed. That works well in the first 3-4 years, at least.
Yeah. I've used Sumo, Kibana, Loggly, paper trail, and GCP's logging stuff. And you know, good ole grep.

If I can't have grep, I'll probably always beg for SumoLogic. It's great, at least compared to what I've used so far.
This is curious: are you filing jointly or separately?

In general, filing jointly typically results in either the same or lower taxes. I'm not sure under what conditions under which it would be higher.

The question is almost tautological because an AGI is fully general problem solver. Every human being has needs, wants that they are working to fulfill, because otherwise they would simply stop living. An AGI can be used to solve those problems for them.

The most common reason people are hesitant about rushing to build an AGI is the issue of AI safety. (at least that's the general consensus in the community).
I have zero power to elect officials in both China/Russia and the US...
Yes, for years in multiple companies. I greatly prefer it over Splunk or self rolled ELK crap.

If you reformat all your logs to output as json you can "| json auto nodrop" and suddenly you have fantastic statistics off every single field. It's also smart enough to figure out 'close enough' json, like if you're piping log output to syslog which adds it's own metadata.

Their Logreduce feature is also nice for "Ingestion suddenly shot up but eyeballing doesn't show a pattern, help me out here!" Hit the button and get logs grouped by 'these are pretty close except for x."

Amusingly they called me once. I apparently managed to craft a scheduled query that was causing their systems issues. I okayed them adjusting the query to something a little less aggressive.

The only feature that seems wonky is 'real time' (which they limit you on how many you can use). Never was a big issue, I generally would run 'real time' stuff every 15 minutes.

I will be very sad if they die or get bought out by Splunk. It's a great product.
I once checked my Slack to find that, an hour previously, a coworker had sent me a message: "Hello jbay808". So I wrote back: "Hello coworker."

An hour after that, I got a reply from him: "lol. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that there's a bug in SW version 0.3..."

And I was wondering, why not open with "Hello jbay808, I just wanted to let you know..."? It was a perfectly good asynchronous discussion after that.
We have people in my company that do that in slack. They usually do it because they are canvassing for someone to respond (they ping different people and wait a few minutes between each - under some pecking order).

If the first person responds the real question is typed out to get the help they need.

If it's someone less useful in the domain the next question is usually - hey do you know anything about the email system. Instead of the real question.

I think it's just a conversation style that translates from real-life problem solving.
That's not the fault of the face recognition, though. And it would have happened in the same way if a human had misclassified the image.

Do they propose nobody should ever look at images of suspects and try to identify them?
Quite a change, I remember when Microsoft could kill software just by announcing it intended to develop a competing product. If you had told me then that one day I'd be using a Mac for daily work I would have not believed it.
No offense, but this sounds like a bad diagnosis on your part. It takes more than a few days for Vitamin D problems to arise. The fact that the numbness took a few weeks to go away after taking Vitamin D for only a couple of days means it was most probably some other thing causing the problem.
If you bother at all, the response is simple: "Yes. Why do you ask?"

It works both ways. Bad questions too often get answers, but often bad answers. That is, questions often should be met with more questions. But they're not. Many people are wired to want to help - which is great - but too few are wired for critical thinking and analysis.
My take on it is that while both are bad, the iOS situation is far worse.

Almost no one would replace a desktop or laptop with an xbox while many people have done just that with an iPhone.
The specificity conditions around "people" are hard. Loneliness and purpose in service are not enough.

Most people, I think, want a deeply species-ist AI.

It has to want to help humans. Not exclude us from planets to make room for uplifting dolphins or defect by spawning more machine intelligences.

I think that condition is hard to meet while also counting future-humans who might look more like aliens or software than the humans of today.

I believe the rational solution would be a benevolent AI that values all life, the problem being that it wouldn't necessarily always work in "our" interests.
>Second, why are profitable opportunities for investment lacking?

Because ambitious technological progress requires coordination between state, business and large scale entities. The cultural shift from the late 70s onward pushed consumer-led economic growth and withdrawal of the government from economic activity.

If you look at inventions like the internet or satellite tech, much of it was military/government-led R&D with all the consumer stuff essentially being a byproduct that fell out of it. Federal r&d budget in the US constituted 12% in 1965 and just about 4% today.

so at the end of the day you have the death of the research lab, fundamental science, large state-led programs and so on in favour of people building smartphone apps because they're cheap to make, you can spread them across the globe a few people get very rich, they build themselves a huge HQ in Silicon Valley and you get the illusion of having 'tech progress' while your scientific and physical infrastructure rots away. It's worse in the US than it is in Europe or Japan because Europe/Japan have at least kept part of their manufacturing culture. China is if anything the only country that looks sort of optimistic on that front, although it also has countless of problems as society gets more affluent.
Yes. Game consoles are just as much “general purpose computers” as phones are. Volume and ubiquity doesn’t change that (modern) game consoles have the architecture required to run anything you want, even easier than needing to compile for Arm through Xcode.

One could argue that any console pre-CD days were specialized computing devices that required additional circuitry to run (cartridges.) But in my mind, any console that downloads contents of a storage medium to RAM and executes it is general purpose. You could make Spreadsheets for the Xbox or PlayStation or Switch, if you so chose.
Yeah but you get a whole bunch of other stuff. Alerting, flexible outlier detection, aggregations, aggregations + joins (like sql)...

For the first transaction MS most likely gets a cut, but after that you can resell xbox games (at least the ones sold on physical media). You can't resell ios apps.
https://oxide.computer/ has a simple mission. Build hyperscale racks with open firmware/drivers - cut the wasted components like HDMI ports that Dell/HP still throw on racks by default. ARM/RISCV/x86/GPU/TPU/storage ... those are just configuration options.

I'll probably regret posting this at some point because Scott Adams is smart (just not particularly aligned with my own moral compass). I don't think he is AS smart as he thinks he is but that doesn't mean he isn't smart, it just means he has a particularly large ego.

See, I predicted Trump would win as well. It seemed incredibly obvious to me despite it being the worst possible outcome I could imagine. I based my "prediction" on my time spent in the US and a gut feeling. I guessing Adams did as well, and found ways to justify it (not exactly unique to him).

Adams tends to think in terms of "persuasion" as a skill. In that sense, he probably sees the world transactionally and cynically. I have heard him debate people with a good command of the facts and a similar combination of ego and articulation. He comes off as smug, too confident, and more like a small fish in a big pond than he does when he is just writing on his blog or "destroying" someone in social media.

Yes, that's why you can have different versions of it on your development PC and run the version you are using.

> The definition of anti trust is to use your position in one market to gain an unfair advantage in an other market.

Your definition is missing a key point, which is you have to possess sufficient market power in the primary market in order to use to gain an advantage. If you lack market power, it doesn't matter what you do because you lack the ability to coerce consumers. As the Supreme Court put it:

If one of a dozen food stores in a community were to refuse to sell flour unless the buyer also took sugar it would hardly tend to restrain competition in sugar if its competitors were ready and able to sell flour by itself. (Northern Pac. R. Co. v. United States)

> It is shocking to me that Apples lawyers, would allow Apple to so blatantly threaten Epic in this way. They are providing a clear example of anti competitive behavior, for Epic to use in future litigation.

Epic violated the terms of Apple's developer agreement by deliberately hiding their payment processing code to get it past app review. Hiding functionality is considered an egregious violation of the developer program and grounds for termination of your entire account. Apple has the right to terminate their contract for that violation alone, regardless of whether you think the terms relating to in-app purchases are lawful or not.

Framing this as retaliatory or a threat is hyperbole. One party violated the terms of a contract, so the other party is exercising their right to terminate.

> You would think Apple has good enough lawyers to put a stop to this self defeating behavior.

Do you really think you have a better grasp of antitrust law than their legal team?
I agree it's better to just ask, but whenever I catch myself asking to ask, it's not due to laziness but rather to (perhaps misguided) politeness. Sometimes it feels a little abrupt to dm someone or bust into a team channel and just start asking questions (though perhaps that's irrational since it never bothers me when the roles are reversed). I think the site would be a little better if it addressed this motivation too.
It's still too expensive to just put into things, but still it's a great evolution of the buddy sink!

When will we get easy to use modules like this for power output?
Firefox is getting its ass beat in the market right now. It's essentially a dying product.
Then people have to relearn, but it is not the fault of the algorithm.

False identifications by humans happen a lot, too. I think it used to be an especially big issue for black people.

Like if a black person commits a crime, and police does a lineup for a witness to identify the culprit, they would just point to the one black person in the lineup and think they did it. Surely computers can at least do as good as that, probably better.
When I was there (10+ years ago) the volunteers were people who had worked there during the war. The place was run down but having a tour guided by someone who knew the place so well was really great.
You can’t even make an app store viewers which just links to the iOS app store but with better search/discovery since that is against app store rules.
I think you're right that some industries are more conducive to competition in general. However shouldn't we be more careful then in terms of creating barriers to competition?

If we treated restaurants like hospitals/healthcare we would give your employer a tax break in return for determining the set of restaurants you may dine at. Any new recipe or cooking method used by a restaurant would need to first be approved by the FDA. Restaurant chains would not be allowed to operate across state lines. Restaurant would have to accept below-market pricing for some proportion of customers (medicaid). Each restaurant would need to hire a law service to ensure they comply with HIPPA, and staff a department to allow import/export of your dining history.
I miss "Saved Messages" from Telegram in the Element (formerly Riot) chat app. In Element it is also possible to create a private room with access limited to only me but in Telegram it feels so natural to send text and links to myself (even in way, way older versions of the app).
But then it can't possibly be the "people just believe computers" effect, because the article explicitly states the police realized the computer was wrong.
What cut does Microsoft take on IAPs? I think this is the main issue at stake here— the fact that apple takes 30% from IAPs too, and that you can only use Apple's systems to receive IAP payments.
Artifactory is a strong tool. I work for a large multinational with somewhat regressive IT policies, so you can't really use the internet - Artifactory is both a package cache and package manager, working across pretty much every language. I have used PyPi, JS, Java, & Docker artifacts contained in it, so that's pretty cool

Also no idea what else they do.
For me JFrog is synonymous with Artifactory -- I think that was their earliest / bread & butter product? That may just be my interaction. It's an on-premise/cloud hybrid source artifact repository. The nice thing about it is that it is one product that can act as a maven/npm/pip/etc. repo. If you're in a polyglot org (big enterprise) and you have security needs/historical baggage to host on-premise (big enterprise) then you can do a lot worse picking a solution. Also has nice API & CLI components for integration, it is far from my least favorite of the enterprise-y sorts of things you can run into at a big company :)
It took Arm 20 years to achieve current success with substantial inroads into networking, mobile, automotive, servers (AWS & others) and desktops (Apple Silicon imminent). This is not the time to give up and start over. There are society-wide opportunity costs.
Is it? You have to pay a Microsoft tax to sell anything that functions on the Microsoft device. Is it different because the fee is structured somewhat differently?
I'm betting 100% on that. Many of our portfolio companies work in this way already.
This was exactly me in Oakland, CA, last year when on a business trip from Atlanta. On the way to the hotel, I was on a shuttle with a pilots and flight crew heading to stay overnight. Was advised not to go walking around by myself. Ended up using Doordash for the first time that night at the Hotel. Now my wife has us on the monthly subscription plan back home because of COVID.
> what can NVidia do to extract more money from them, new instructions?

I don't know what those perpetual licenses look like, but, if there are any strings attached at all, perhaps Nvidia can tug on them in order to apply a little good old-fashioned embrace-extend-extinguish to ARM? Extend ARM with new instructions that offer performance improvements when you've bought 100% into Nvidia hardware, maybe, and then stifle competition by making them implement these features in order to claim ARM compatibility, thereby making it more difficult/expensive for anyone else to pair ARM CPUs with other companies' GPUs?
What's the difference between the Windows store and XBox store? Is the revenue split different? Are there different requirements for selling on Windows and XBox?
We should view MS with scrutiny due to their history (trying to compete and kill Linux; the SCO bullshit, etc.), but they are the underdog in this particular case and the market has changed quite a bit. I wouldn't think of Microsoft holistically.

That being said, this isn't the underdogs vis big players. These are big players, taken on other bigger players, and just kinda incidentally helping a lot of the smaller players ... for now .. but this could just as easily turn again if one of them gets back on top.
Do it as soon as you can.
Yep, I agree. Drivers seem very unrepresented, except for a few lawsuits, which some could argue may not represent the majority (there is little data).
