> Epic's platform is not a monopoly even if they successfully made one

Same goes for Apple. The term "monopoly" is not really useful in this discussion. It's more about having a small number of gatekeepers. There are currently exactly 2 gatekeepers of mobile devices in the entire world: Apple and Google.

It is possible that Epic could get into a similar position as what Apple is today, but for games. My point is that I support something like this happening, even though people may think that Epic is just another gatekeeper. Gatekeepers can't be avoided, so the solution is to have more gatekeepers, so they can't abuse their power easily.
There are also some weird examples of things going in the other direction. The 13th Amendment forbids "involuntary servitude" anywhere within the jurisdiction of the United States. There was a Supreme Court case in the early 1900s concluding that this does not apply to conscription. To me, the draft is very clearly a form of involuntary servitude. To the court, the decision amounted to "well obviously the amendment isn't referring to that sort of involuntary servitude".

You can only use one store, it will have missing stuff but you should be used with that if you only use Apple approved App Stores.

Also if I want to buy a subscription for soemthing like Intellij as a developer I would feel like garbage to use a store and give a 30% cut to Microsoft or Apple for the privilege of allowing me to install something, the developers deserve those money and a big corporation because they host some files.
You'll risk jail. And never having an honest job again. And having to hang out with the sort of people who enjoy the company of con artists. And lying through your teeth all day. And actively spending your creative energies making the world worse. And deliberately stealing money from people who might have used it for something useful. And gaining the lifetime hatred of these people. Who will want to punish you personally, financially or even commit acts of violence against you.

If you've really thought through it and still figure it's a good idea, I'd honestly like to stay as far away from you as possible. Because I'm pretty sure that would represent a judgement that's at best very unsound, and in the more likely case indicates a personality that's dangerous to their surroundings.

I worked in early stage (seed, pre-seed, and series A mostly) startups for 10+ years before finally realizing that the math isn't even close. Now I work at a FAANG. In your example, $250k is actually pretty low. An engineer at that level can expect to make $350-$400k, and the RSUs are almost as good as cash.

But where it really bites you is, as you mentioned, the opportunity cost. If you're getting 0.3%, you're a fairly early employee. A profitable (for you) acquisition or IPO is 5-10 years away, and that $165k salary is not going to dramatically increase in the meantime. In opportunity cost, you (and I'm being very general here) end up paying $2-5m for the chance of that equity being worth something (consider that your compensation will grow as you become more senior at the Big Tech Company, and that you can invest that money). If you are lucky and have good health, you can make that bet perhaps 4 or 5 times in your life, plus some false starts that fail or become obvious zombies within 3-5 years.

To come out on top, you need one of those companies to really knock it out of the park. 1 in 5 startups do not knock it out of the park. And when they do, it's mostly unrelated to the work you're doing - it has a lot more to do with strategy, market conditions, and luck.

I like the suggestion someone else referenced. You can angel invest your FAANG cash and get a pretty similar risk/reward to being an early engineer, but without leaving all that money on the table and without the added hours and stress of being an early startup engineer.

Apple & Google both did it, and are doing nothing to stop others from entering the (phone) market.

Just because a market is hard or expensive to get into doesn't mean it's not a market worth entering. The real crux is Epic doesn't actually want an open phone platform, they just want to be software rent-slurping middlemen for an arbitrary 'cut' of a pie.

2) Should display somewhere the requirements for the password, annoying to submit a form and then to be told the password doesn't meet the requirements

3) When I try to select all the text in the edit context popup in closes the popup

4) "Free version allows you to edit a maximum of 30 contents" you should really mention this somewhere

5) When I'm editing a page how can I go back to the main menu

6) Search doesn't seem to work on the index page, there is a page called privacy-policy and when I search for policy no results get returned, need to do contains instead of starts with

7) Notifications don't disappear after an action has been completed "Page was successfully updated!"

8) Maybe have a recycle bin that deletes after 30 days incase you delete something by mistake

9) On the signin page it says "Welcome back bla bla"

10) "Simple CMS for any purchased html themes" what if you got a free html theme ..

11) Maybe to have a bit of a story why you created this tool

Interestingly enough - this is how I generally see people living in the US.

I read somewhere that they move about 6 times in their lives and that children are used to get friendly quickly because it will not last. I would say that the general superficial openness of Americans supports this (to be clear: there is no negativity in that expression - it is actually the only reasonable way to live a normal life in a quickly changing world of "friends").

I do not have scientific data about that - it is just what I read and the ~30 times I travelled to the US and met some people there (both in larger cities and in remote areas - but mostly larger cities and tech people).

I am French and we do not move much. We stay with our parents a long time, possibly go somewhere to study but a lot of people will not move spontaneously.

It is not unusual to have friends form a very young age - my children go to high school with the ones they went to kindergarten, all this right next to Paris.

I think that it is even more pronounced in Italy.

> America won't arrest you on your vacation here just because you criticized the country on social media.

America won't even let you enter the country if you, or somebody on your feeds, criticized it on social media [0]

People who are too vocal in their opposition to the US government, or just been in the wrong places at the wrong times, have been plenty known to be abducted into torture black sites [1], if not straight up killed by a drone strike because literal SKYNET [2] interpreted their meta-data [3] as that of a terrorist.

And none of that is even accounting for the reality that the US has the highest incarceration rate on the planet, so if there's a place you will most likely be arrested during your vacation, then that's gonna be the US.

But I guess it's easy to forget about these parts of US hegemony while pointing at China over "social credit scores" putting people on no-fly lists.

There's evidence Monsanto influenced the science behind the safety (or not) of Roundup [1], and even tried to manipulate public opinion of it online. [2]

> According to the court documents, Monsanto started the aptly-named ‘Let Nothing Go’ campaign, which plaintiffs’ attorneys in the Roundup litigation believe is part of the agrochemical giant’s tort defense strategy to work furiously outside the courtroom producing carefully-timed “literature” and regulatory decisions that could sway the court.

> The ‘Let Nothing Go’ campaign is designed to leave nothing posted on the internet about Monsanto, its products and GMOs, unanswered. This even applies to social media comments.

> “Through a series of third parties, it employs individuals who appear to have no connection to the industry, who in turn post positive comments on news articles and Facebook posts, defending Monsanto, its chemicals, and GMOs,” according to a motion in the Roundup MDL. But the idea that Monsanto paid internet trolls to disagree with negative comments about the company on social media is just the tip of the iceberg.

> An academic involved in writing research funded by Monsanto, John Acquavella, a former Monsanto employee, appeared to express discomfort with the process, writing in a 2015 email to a Monsanto executive, “I can’t be part of deceptive authorship on a presentation or publication.” He also said of the way the company was trying to present the authorship: “We call that ghost writing and it is unethical.”

Thank you for Empire! I definitely played the Intersel version on my Amiga in maybe '89, and then on my IBM-PC 386, but I believe I also played via Zenith terminal on a PDP-10/11 on Compu-Serv (my Dad was an early employee), in the early '80s.

I loved the game, and made several attempts and coding my own version. Naturally, I went on to love Civilization as well, which has similar game play.

Having turned 50, I feel the same way about many strategy games I play now... it becomes less about the fun and more about the optimization, and how to optimize via program or AI. But I've always been that way... had pages of formulas for optimal planet management in MegaWars III for example.

Not really an 'aha' moment, more of a dawning realisation as I gained experience.

When starting out as a developer, I think there is a tendency to see the particular language/framework/syntax that you're using being all-important.

Over time, and with experience, you realise that the language and syntax are just the "fine detail" of how you solve problems as a software developer: as your understanding deepens, it's as if a kind of abstraction happens in your brain, because you stop thinking so much about the fine details of language and syntax, and start to worry about things like managing complexity and optimising design etc.

And at that point, the realisation for me was that I can apply that experience to any language/syntax/framework, which frees me up to pick the best way of solving any particular problem, and to not be stuck in a rut with any particular technology.

An added benefit is that a lot of the debate over stuff like "language X is better than Y", or "this code style is correct and that one is wrong" become unimportant, because you're thinking at a level that's not limited by specifics.

I think Epic has miscalculated the optics on this. There is no underdog in this story. It's just two enormous companies, run by very wealthy men, who put corporate profits and stock options above employee welfare, squabbling over how much of the pie they get to eat, when neither one can finish their first slice. I want them both to lose.
Unfortunately the only options I've seen in 2 private companies were post-preference with a strike price tied to the valuation of the common equity. At the end of the day the company is acquired for a fixed price which goes to the preferenced shares first, leaving little on the table. Straight IPOs have become rare, and the few times I've been a part of one my grants per year increased following IPO as the value was clear.

It's possible there was a mechanic at work that would have made the equity worth more at the ~6x valuation increase, however these companies were already worth ~200 million-1 billion. If the company wanted to incentivize extreme upside they should have increased the strike price, and increased the number of options granted. Spotify provides this option to employees where you can choose cash, RSUs, options, or "high-risk" options. You can get 8x options relative to RSUs with a strike price that's double the current stock price. If the company 4x'd in value over 4 years you'd make 4x on these compared to RSU's enabling a public company to offer "lottery" ticket equity packages.

Ultimately if a startup is trying to offer a lottery ticket to employees to lure them from top-tier companies, then they'll need to make real lottery tickets with real payouts at the end. That means that a startup with an expected 100 million dollar exit in 5 years will need to grant 2% of the company at exit to a top-tier engineer in the average case ( with appropriate vesting ).

I know the dev gets a good deal out of it (probably more money than all the lost sales). It's still bad for the consumer (except if the title would never get released otherwise).

If a developer chooses to only publish on steam, that's not really the platforms fault, is it? I dislike that some games use steam login/servers as well, but there is a trade-off: those steam servers will probably exist 10 years from now, where a lot of multiplayer games simply shut down their servers and you're out of luck. If Valve open sourced their steam infra, that would alleviate problems with self-hosting those games while allowing the devs ease of use and guaranteed infra.

I won't either, and neither would I install steam, except for inertia (250 games bought).

I sort of cycle through and meditate on the below quotes a few times a week.

"Humanity has no forgotten how infinitesimal, how impermanent and how ignorant it actually is. Ptolemy has been ridiculed for conceiving the earth to be the center of the universe, yet modern civilization is apparently founded upon the hypothesis that the planet Earth is the most permanent and important of all the heavenly spheres. Ignorant of the cause of life, ignorant of the purpose of life, ignorant of what lies beyond death, we devote the precious span of our earthly years to the futile effort of establishing ourselves as an enduring power in a realm of un enduring things."

“It is not necessary for a man to be actively bad in order to make a failure in life; simple inaction will accomplish it. Nature has everywhere written her protest against idleness; everything which ceases to struggle toward an ideal, the constant effort to get higher and further, which develops manhood and character.”

― James Terry White

"How we spend our days is how we spend our lives"
