> german trauma from the stasi

As bad as the stasi was, what happened during the holocaust was far worse and stasi affected much less people. It's therefore far-fetched to explain focus on privacy with that.

Also as bad as the Neo Nazi Terror is in germany, it's actually worse in some other countries. In the US nazi militias continually existed throughout the 20th century. You rarely see it in the news because nobody seems to care and the organizations are not only legal but even get support from the US president. Please also consider acts of Nazi Terror that happened in NZ and Scandinavia.

Moreover right wing conservative movements like AfD are also much stronger in other countries, e.g. RN in France, PVV in NL or Fidesz in Hungary.

You are used to Apple-style bureaucracy. It won't be even close. If 10 countries roll out their stores - most of them probably won't even be in English for a long time. Custom SDKs will add a lot of overhead on the development side. And app review madness will be like never before.

> If people are still talking about it after so many years, it must be really good.

I disagree. If something is long-term popular, that doesn't mean it's really good, it means it hit the average taste pretty well. The average taste is very bland, because it's, well, average. You can't really deviate too far from the lowest common denominator if you want to hit the average taste and be super popular.
It may be a factor, but it is no the root and the concept is not privacy, though. The root is the 1983 supreme court decision around informational self-determination. The right has constitutional rank.

Privacy is a part of that, but not all of it.

A second cultural aspect is that Germans tend to have higher trust into the state, but lower trust in companies when it comes to such subjects, while in the US, this is reversed.
I can imagine they have tight margins. This might be more painful than an apparently small percentage might appear.

It sounds like you've had too many bad reactions to want to keep trying, but did you try Concerta/Ritalin? That's what I was on when I was younger, and it seemed effective. I'm on Vyvanse now.

The only major side effect that's a problem for me is the utter loss of appetite. Frustratingly, it's not that I'm not hungry, I just don't want food. So my stomach will start hurting and I force myself to eat, but it's a challenge. Plus earlier this year I had to give up sugar to account for prediabetes, every day is a struggle to make myself get enough calories. Still, the ability to stay focused on a task for 15 minutes, or even just process my students' sentences, is worth it.
I've observed a correlation between successful high-complexity, high-risk, high-unknowns, high-payoff efforts and high-trust work environments, that extend down to the lowest rungs of an organization's totem pole.

I suspect it works this way because to put it into software architecture terms, the trust is a microservice delivery model prerequisite, so people can loosely couple as needed to efficiently work on blockers. I find it ironic that many laypeople see the US military as a rigidly stratified, top-down command and control organization, but speaking to many military members, I find the amount of trust (once earned) placed in startlingly young and junior members far exceeds most commercial organizations. Despite all the military war stories of ineptitude and incompetence, I don't think it is a coincidence that compared to the average commercial organization, the military is still perceived by many to "get 'er done".

This is fantastically difficult to achieve because it requires a from-the-top commitment to developing human, empathic leadership on top of management (which is already a difficult to master skill set by itself). It takes enormous emotional guts and vulnerability to be in that kind of leadership; I know it would challenge my personal limits for sure, possibly even break them. This takes decades of continuous work without interruption through top leadership succession evolutions.

So, what are your recommendations for film, tv series, album, and music video?

(you have a stronger point than I first thought: film and albums are nineteenth century, while tv series and music videos are twentieth, so these are all young media by comparison with dance, drama, literature, poetry, etc., and so may still be in the steep phase of their development curve.)

This is absolutely something you should be working with a psychiatrist to regulate and find the dosage that works best for you. I don't take any medication for anxiety/depression but I regularly smoke pot and that does wonders for my anxiety. Of course, for some people pot can have the opposite effect which is why using it to self-medicate is a risky proposition.

Honestly my best advice is that, if you aren't having a good experience with your psychologist/psychiatrist you should find a better one. I've been lucky enough to be with a therapist who worked well for me as a teenager that I recently started seeing again for my anxiety. He recommends me to a local outpatient psychiatry department for my ADHD meds so I don't have to switch, but I don't know how much use the meds would be if I wasn't able to talk to him regularly.

Why We Let White-Collar Criminals Get Away with Their Crimes
The word "just" in "it just took a reset in conventions" was intended as ironical (but it might not come across clearly in the text). A change of conventions is a large change that is no trivial matter to undertake.
Triage is not a waste of time. Developers usually have far less time than bugs or missing features.

Do people use Apple Watch as a replacement for their iPhone? I am trying to reduce my phone usage. Not needing to carry my phone with me is an attractive idea to me.
China would be a good example to predict what would happen. Since it bans Google, there are 11 Android app stores has >1% market share [1], most are from tech giants(e.g. Tencent), mobile operator(e.g. China Mobile) and phone manufacturers(e.g. Huawei). When Apple opens the gate for 3p App Store, it's safe to bet another 5~10 stores.

Maybe not every country will have as many app stores as China, but still that's gonna be a nightmare for developers (especially small developers) to manage.

Push notification might be another nightmare to watch out for consumers. When China bans Google service, app developers have freedom to implement push themselves or via a 3rd party vendor. And I guess if forced to open, Apple won't support non AppStore push either, hence consumers may end up with Facebook/Google/Epic/Tencent/YouNameWho have their push services running and connected on their phones with a burning battery.

So why are the media ignoring it? I assume it’s because Wikileaks’ mission came under question because their leaks benefited the wrong side.

> it quickly took on negative connotations and was employed principally by critics of market reform and laissez-faire capitalism - from the Wikipedia article you linked

"Capitalism when it does something I don't like" isn't a definition. If you want to criticize laissez-faire capitalism then use the proper term for it, not some squishy, mysterious neologism. Unfortunately when that happens, this becomes a discussion on comparative political economy. Those these critics tend to lose on the merits. Hence they insist on the mystification.
I am glad that this will force a hard stop on Google's and Apple's monopoly on App stores and force them to be more competitive. India is too big a market for Google to walk away from - especially after they had to walk away from China.

However, it is entirely like that the Modi govt is probably trying to find a way to backdoor all phones in India through this. So thats bad.

> I don't see that same characteristic in Indian culture; of course there is a market for luxury goods but it's not the same.

Can it be just because of the difference in disposable income in the countries? I don't know any reliable metric for income but the GDP per capita of PRC is five times that of India. The quench for luxurious goods comes with rising income.
The American press is ignoring this story because it's not a political hot button for either side of the political aisle. Wikileaks helped Trump tremendously during his election by releasing info on Hillary. And now the Trump administration is pursuing this prosecution.
> To stay relevant with paid software you have to make something people will be willing to buy.

This doesn't mean it has to be good, just that you convince people to pay you, which is IMHO "easy" with the high software developer demand right now and difficulty for non-devs to distinguish between high and low quality software.

I think though, that as you are saying, open source shines with generic libraries where there's competition and selection of the best, while proprietary software shines with end-products (which are normally a multi-discipline team effort).

Honestly, I have a cell phone with video calling capabilities and thanks to work I have zoom and slack installed on it. Also WhatsApp for communicating with family in other countries, and my work computer has FaceTime. I can't imagine what your app would bring that isn't covered by one of these.

Which is not to say that you shouldn't just build it anyway. Much like slack and zoom, your real customers probably aren't people like me, but companies that want to adopt the technology to fill the office-culture-sized whole in all our hearts. And much like those apps, even if people like me don't like the experience, it's startups start adopting it, people use it

GetJar: I am hearing of this app for the first time, and I have seen and used many indian phones.

Flipkart, Zomato, Swiggy are Indian companies with apps completely developed in India. Walmart has a major shareholding stake in Flipkart since a few years now.

PayTM is also fully developed and operated in India, but yes, it does have Alibaba backing it. However, it was not at all considered for an app ban. If at all, many cash less policies by government are aimed to help it to move the country to digital payments.

No, there are not 20 something messengers. There is one mainly used messenger called WhatsApp.

Yes, there were a few Chinese apps / chinese owned apps, widely popular. They were PubG, TikTok and UC browser. All of them were fungible, and have been banned.

Also, no, Indian Android phones are not "cheap third world phones without Google App Store pre-installed". A lot of them do come in the 150$-300$ price range, but all of them have fully certified Android, passing VTS. In the 100s of phones I have seen, I haven't seen a single such phone.
There are some phones (JioPhones) which do exist, but they are built on KaiOS which is a fork of Firefox OS. They obviously don't have Play Store installed.

For books that are in high demand, let's say you pay $25 to buy the book outright, but you can then lend it as many times as you want. Assuming it's always checked out for two weeks, that's 26 readers a year who benefit, at a cost of less than $1 per reader per year.

But in a typical library, most books in the catalog are checked out infrequently. It might not make financial sense to purchase those books outright. But if a library can pay a licensing fee on a per-checkout basis, then it can expand its offerings.

If you want reporting that accurately represent science, in my experience, the university press releases are even worse than the worst mainstream shit-tier media.
I take issue with their response, quoted below:

How is the response to this incident to try prevent further breaches rather than vowing to not collect this data in the first place? Why is this an acceptable response at all?
I even remember when Apple tried to forbid cross-compiling apps- you had to use their compiler. Their platform exists because of the devs, and yet they appear to have little respect for the devs.

Noone's going to read this, but I'm going to answer, differently. Because procrastination.

There used to be "white-collar cost of living comparisons", maybe there still is. The headline in the newspaper would be "Copenhagen most expensive city in the world" or somesuch. The major reason for that was that hiring a full-time nanny to look after your children was expensive in Copenhagen, and a full-time nanny was included because that was considered necessary for white-collar professionals in some of the cities om the survey, and for fairness it was included everywhere. But in Copenhagen, there are excellent creches and kindergartens. Only a kook hires a nanny, so those attempts at fair comparisons compared kooky behaviour in Copenhagen with sensible behaviour in, say, Pune or Bangalore, and found that being a kook in Copenhagen is expensive.

But how can you do it better? How can you compute the cost of living (which is tightly connected to purchasing power) so well that you can compare year-over-year and capture 2% changes reliably? If the city provides more/better creches, should you start counting 19.2% of the cost of a nanny instead of 19.4%?

People don't need a car where I live. I know areas nearby where a family like mine would have at least one, perhaps two cars. Cars are cheaper there (renting off-street parking space costs a fortune here) but how would you factor the cost of a car into purchasing power and compare fairly? If the city builds new metro rail, how do you change the weight of the family's first car in your calculation, and the cost of the second car?

This is difficult stuff.

Usually it will have to do with purchasing power parity.

The low pricing in one country doesn't translate to low pricing in another country, especially with digital goods.

Things are changing though now. Many streaming services are doing well in India as prices are appropriate and people are educated on the value of the goods.

It is also related to strong laws/enforcing of laws as well, which is also improving in my opinion.

All of which are not necessarily unique to India.

Both articles can be found within seconds by selecting the text, right-clicking and clicking "Search Google".

The tweets you are linking are summarizing cherry-picked data that itself would require much more effort to figure out.

Both quotes I pasted show significant problems with those "refutations". The first is simply using the wrong data and the latter seem to just be complaining that there's too little data to make an accurate estimate (and the obvious solution is to lobby for states to provide this, which status-quo apologists seem very unwilling to do).
Back of the envelope on storage capacity:
- Looks like about 200x200 px grid
- 200x200 = 40,000 total possible bits
- Assume only 75% of these are available for data due to QR structure and redundancy features
- Leaves about 30,000 bits or 3-4 kb capacity in that one image
- Comes out to about 5 reams of paper per mb of data storage

This would be a better "ping pong balls on a plane" interview question for comp sci candidates.
That might be true of some of the lower-end models but I don't think it's true of the Fenix 6. And the most powerful Fenix can do turn-by-turn navigation for 2-3 days with color offline maps. I don't think the Apple Watch is more featureful - they make different feature tradeoffs. Big ones are cost and weight.
But installing software on Windows is not a problem. You can put your game in the Windows app store. There are multiple (gaming) "app store" things on Windows.

Steam has a 30% cut because it's so big that the smaller stores don't move the needle much. So there's no real market force pushing prices down, because the other offerings are just not substitutes. (Eg. there's GOG Galaxy, the other ones are too tied to certain publishers.)

It seems most people are arguing that the only alternative to 2 app stores is a large number of app stores. But what if the alternative is no app stores? Anyone can install whatever software they want on their device from wherever they want it. Just like it works for desktops. The need for app stores is an artificially created need (by the marketing brilliance of Jobs).
