I would bet a guess that privacy in NK is actually better when you're purely looking at a digital point of view.

After all, many people there won't have access to such technology. They'll be off the grid unlike most of us.

Of course that doesn't actually give them privacy, I'm sure that there's plenty of 'friendly' neighbours spying on each other for a few bucks, basically stasi style.

And also this watermarking isn't all that different from our browser fingerprinting and mega data collection. It's just a cultural difference. The NK government wants their citizens to know they're being spied on. Whereas ours is trying to hide it. Thus more focus on the endpoint device rather than the cloud side.
As with blockchain, there are more vendors and PR people trying to make "no-code" a thing than there are actual users or practitioners.

Until that ratio shifts I'm skeptical.
I believe it is sustainable if you're willing to burn through disposable 3rd party developers.

From my experience, it always follow the same path. Some promising developer gets infatuated with Apple's supposed ease of use and looks at the shiny aggregate numbers like $155 billion paid out to developers. Said developer jumps through all the hoops and builds a great app. Users love it, but since competition in the app store is insane, the developer barely makes back his/her initial investment. Then Apple changes the APIs and rules, the app becomes unusable and/or expensive to maintain and over time the developer burns out and gives up. Thus, there's now an opening for the next promising developer to start building an app.

As long as Apple doesn't run out of new developers happy to join the App Store, they can treat their 3rd party "partners" as badly as they want. It's kind of the same power dynamic that makes sure that hair saloons all over the world treat their employees badly.

Be careful: the Play Store has a bunch of problems too and is in some ways almost as bad as Apple's App Store. The real reason that Android is better than iOS is that you can sideload apps from third-party sources.
'worst of the pandemic' ahead in US with no apparent strategy, experts say
Yeah, I can see there being difficulty. It's the type of thing that sounds good to a lot of people before they find themselves in a situation where it actually makes a difference. When it suddenly kicks in and people say, "wait, what?", I can see there being legal action or something. But I think it would also be too late, if it's already been accepted as law. It might prompt people to want to start undoing it, but there may be an instance of it applying first.
//What the App Store is definitively not, however, is conducive to innovation, experimentation, and risk-taking.

Are there any signs that iOS is significantly worse than Android with regards to innovative apps?

With everything that has been happening in US, Hong Kong, China, Belarus, Russia, Egypt, Nigeria, and others. Where does this trust comes from? Media?

I think you are more likely to be brutalized by police in US than terrorist right now. Maybe you feel that your country is better and somehow won't end up like others but what exactly is stopping that?

I really want to know how this mindset works. Maybe people have been living in peace for too long that they don't recognize all the horrible crimes committed by the state.

>The nature of iSH meant that this problem was fundamental, as users can always add back functionality that we remove.

That's the point, isn't it? When I had an iphone, I always understood that there are no local terminal apps because apple banned them. They shifted the rules slightly since then to make it easier to make apps for teaching programming, but the goal was never to make generic dev environments. When I heard about this app, I assumed there had been a fairly fundamental change in the sorts of apps apple allowed. It seems like no such change occurred - apple just didn't notice what the app was doing until after it was released.

Good on the iSH people for giving it a shot. I doubt they'll break through the apple wall, but there's always a chance.
They restrict user with every new macOS release.

I think we may already be in that situation given how China and the West handled the pandemic respectively. Our governments are quietly implementing all the worst aspects of Chinese authoritarianism and pervasive surveillance without any of the benefits of having a competent government that's able to deal with large scale problems.

China dealt with the pandemic swiftly and decisively and life is getting back to normal there now. Meanwhile, the West had months of warning and vast majority of the governments chose to do nothing. Instead of stocking up on supplies and preparing the public the officials and the media called Chinese lockdowns authoritarian and played down the severity of the problem until thousands of people started dying. Our governments chose to protect business interests and to sacrifice the public for the sake of the profits.

The pandemic is just a small preview of what we can expect to happen with climate change in the coming decade.
No, only 0.15 trillion [1] spread out over roughly 1 mio games and 3.4 mio non-gaming apps [2]. So that's a mere $35k in average lifetime value. But as anyone used to lying with statistics knows, the average revenue is much higher than the median revenue. In Apple's case, the factor appears to be 56x [3].

So the typical App Store app makes $630 in total over its entire lifetime. That's surely not enough to finance its development.

Accordingly, I am convinced that pretty much all iOS developers lose money on their apps. A very few lucky winners get rich, and everyone else is treated as disposable.

There is absolutely a requirement to use credit and loans. When I bought my house it was incredibly challenging because the mortgage folk required the I had had 3 lines of continuous credit for more than a year. My income was not relevant, because that was a hard rule that they would not change.

I had to get a new line of credit and wait a year.

That did the following:

* The first credit check for the mortgage decreased my credit score, so interest rate on the new CC - that I *had* to use - was probably higher

* Getting the CC required a full credit check, which lowered my credit score again

* The new CC also lowered the average length of credit, which lowered my credit score *again*

So when I finally went to get loan preapproval a year later my credit score was lower than it had been the first time round, and that impacted my interest rate, down payment, and available loan size more than the fact that I was being paid more.

Sure you don't have to get a loan or credit. But if you don't, you get utterly screwed.

If it only works until Apple stops signing your certificate, then it's not "unapproved".
As the old saying goes, “correlation != causation”
Tesla's business is not just selling cars; it's their mission to "accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy". That is why they're successful. That's why they invest in R&D for battery tech, solar panels, software. It's all about the mission, in the end.

Tesla made the electric car desirable to the masses. That is no small feat. Toyota could have done it years or even decades ago, but they didn't. Other traditional car makers could have done it, but chose not to.

Now they're all on a race to compete against Tesla.

But ultimately, the goal shouldn't be to have everybody drive an electric car instead of an ICE car. It should be about having less cars on the road, period. It should be about consuming less resources, wasting less resources, period.
Apple sells iPhones financed by Apple Card, too. What happens to someone's phone if they don't pay?
I don’t see that work. If “finite” is low and delays between them short, scammers will make the effort to go through all warnings.

If delays between warnings are long, the scammer will wait until one is shown and then sell the fake, and the buyer will only be warned when it’s too late.

If it’s high, the difference with “forever” is small, and you’ll still be annoyed.

Having a separate screen that shows the warning on demand or showing the warning only after a new sim is inserted might be the best option, but I fear too few customers would know about it.

They would not sink boats. Even for some of the largest fishing boats, the marine would just sent a larger military boat and board it, transport the sailors to land and give them to the police for dealing with. The fishing boat would be confiscated.

Actually sinking of boats is highly unnecessary and not something people do unless the other boat has cannons and rockets, which a fishing boat is unlikely to have.
damn just $100? This would be a daily double.
I used to have companies pay me to dispose of their old terminals. We then converted the keyboards to USBs and sold them ($100-$300 per board).

Was easily one of the best little business ventures I had. Was making hundreds to thousands an hour, course there’s limited supply and demand so it wasn’t sustainable.

I fully expect to see another economic dip within the next 2-4 months. We've learned nothing from the previous corona wave and this winter is only going to exacerbate it due to everyone staying inside.

Ya I've seen the COVID narrative change too. In my local city, the popularity of the lady running our PR campaign has been off the charts since the get go, and rightfully so, she is calm, cool, evidence based, no fear mongering whatsoever. All business + compassion/calmness, and the perfect personality for it. But then the last announcement we had, we had an absolutely massive spike in cases (larger than anything in the first phase), well deserving of increased prevention measures in response (at least from a consistency perspective). Except this time, the specific recommendations were...let's say "weird" - like, completely nonsensical. Zero alterations at all to bar or restaurant policies, no increase in mask requirements in stores, only recommendations for minimization of gathering in personal homes. I cruised on over to my local city subreddit, where one would usually find overly enthusiastic cheerleading for the fine job she was doing...but this time, I can only describe it as...like, total confusion, helplessness, a perception of cognitive dissonance on behalf of these decisions. I assume this will be noticed and adjusted for, but it was something to see.

BLM (or at least media coverage of it) died right before the presidential debates got underway, in magical coordination across all media. I don't expect to hear much about the topic again either, depending on the quality of the Republican ticket in the next election of course. Malcolm X explained how that works to us all in the past. That's another weird quirk of this whole production, why were none of the historic speeches of serious black intellectuals entered into the public discourse? I guess not a single person thought of it.

Those keyboards were nice. Very clicky! Around 1985 or so my dad had an IBM PC/AT at his company. They had purchased a real time stock quotation service that needed a satellite dish on the roof.

This year I build qoob, an app to interact with an IOT electric scooter parking. In August I had the MVP ready, we build 2 prototypes and could save and charge scooters of all voltages in office halls.

The project is not my main job, so time is precious.

I was asked to create a new functionality: Allow companies to buy and borrow e-scooters between company employees.

But what happened is that I had to implement Apple Login, since FB and Google did work already.

Who should I take care off? Apple or the customer/users?
Is it optimal to prioritize the Apple Login, that nobody requested?

Seems more like they built an application which violated the App Store rules from the beginning and now want an exception carved out for them “because Linux” or something. Emulating a whole system that itself follows none of the apple walled garden restrictions is a recipe for failure.
Genuinely curious.
