> You keep on conflating the price to the end user with the revenue share.

So then the game devs get more revenue share for the specific example of the Epic Game store. Great. Glad you agree.

> everyone except for EPIC

So epic gives a larger revenue share to game devs. Great. And Apple's actions are preventing this revenue share increase to game developers, for that game store, at the very least.

> You are the not the arbiter of what is a valid example.

What? Even you agree that epic is giving game developers a large revenue share. That is an example right there, that exists.

> isn't representative of a whole

Its representative of at least one example though! So that means that Apple is preventing at least 1 competing app store that would have a better revenue share, for game developers. That single example, is an example of harm done to game developers.

> If* it is proven so in court than I may agree with you.

So then your previous statement about who "deserves" the money could be invalid.

> You keep on pretending that there is only one phone manufacturer

Anti-competitive practices do not require a literal singular monopoly, for them to be illegal. Instead, all that is required is them having significant market power. Which Apple clearly has.

> Your opinion isn't a fact.

Ok, then your opinion, of Apple "deserving" anything is also not a fact, because the court case could prove that the actions are anti-competitive.

You cannot at all say that Apple "deserves" this money, if the courts prove their actions to be anti-competitive.

> You want the market to be legislated because you don't like Apple.

No, it is because philosophically I want game devs to get more of the revenue split. Why? Because they developed the game.

> If people argued from the fact that there should be able to sideload applications.

What? Thats basically what this is about. Allowing other competing app stores on the platform.
Sidenote: LiteX is awesome. Knowing next to nothing about it, I was able to create a customized system-on-chip with RiscV CPU, several SPI/UART/I2C buses, load it on a devboard and blink some LEDs in an evening or two.

I think in canada (where i live), you can just deduct all the business expenses (things that are part personal like rent have to be the reasonable porportion related to the business). You can't deduct more than the income from the business in a year, but you can carry over your expenses to the next year if you have more expenses than income.
My point isn’t about coding versus learning languages, it’s about open-ended creative activities versus ad-sponsored iOS games. Don’t get me wrong, I like playing the games too!

The purchasing power is the property of the money received, it is exactly the same in all cases.

If the problem is that we want to ensure some kind of equality of outcome that is ill posed

1. Companies are not arbiters to define what that outcome should be. In fact, any such attempt boils down to the argument that the current status quo is the natural state of things and everything should stay that way. Trying to come up with a definition for local economy or local purchasing power is simply an exercise in encoding bias.

2. Plenty of products and services are priced without differentiation. For instance in the case of internet services this is probably close to 100%.

Again, all these has nothing to do with selling X hours of labour for Y hourly rate.

Well, they probably could reverse engineer how any Apple-specific devices work, in the absence of documentation or other assistance from Apple, but the added difficulty of doing that may put them off it. So whether Apple is willing to cooperate may be decisive in practice.

I don’t think Apple would really gain anything by refusing cooperation, especially if Microsoft were willing to pay for it. Only a small number of customers will be interested in running Windows on Macs, and Apple gets just as much money from a Mac running Windows as from a Mac running macOS
Banking applications do "security" checks on lauch to check your phone for signs of rooting. I doubt very many banking apps will run in an emulator. To be clear, I am speculating.
i mean i want to learn about everything before that too, like history, links, diagnoses - to be sure, as well as testing/tracking metrics and the likes,

i hope im making sense :)
The true question is whether throwing electricity at your algorithms is cheaper than, for example in the Spotify case, hiring a couple hundred curators to hand pick music for a wide range of segments.
I don’t get why people use the argument that they couldn’t possibly need the revenue from the App Store to keep it running. It isn’t a non profit business. What about all the money they spend on the hardware research and so many many other things. Some initiatives fund others and stock holders are very happy to see a profit.

I keep seeing critics, who may also be developers, arguing with developers on why they should be unhappy. The truth is, there are enough happy developers and customers to show that there is a healthy ecosystem. If there wasn’t then it would leave a gaping hole for a competitor.

I’m happy to pay for apps and happy to pay my cut for selling apps on the platform.

There are benefits to having a closed ecosystem just as there are to an open one. There are trade offs. I’m not sure why anyone complains about the Play store charging similar fees when you can distribute apps on android in other ways. If that is so much better for developers and Apple doesn’t earn their cut then I would expect to see a mass exodus to Android development.

I personally prefer developing for iOS and Mac. I don’t mind their fees. I find the customers to be very happy. I appreciate alternative perspectives but the tone of all of these articles complaining about Apple making money off of the ecosystem they created is so off putting to me.

Unpopular opinion here:

I do want an entity I trust at a given time (eg. Google, Apple, some credit union, etc.) to mine the raw data they have on my account and do something useful with it as long as neither the raw data nor the derived one is shared with other third parties.

My idea of something useful here isn't ads per se but currently I see ads for Google Fi in Gmail even though I'm a subscriber. That's pretty dumb

Do you know whether this applies to everything which executes? If my build scripts create a build script and run it I guess that will be ok, but if my build scripts build a specialised parser (say, from C source) I need to add a step after linking to code sign the generated parser binary before using it? Is that about right?
I’ve always wondered why I found Biology less interesting than Physics or Chemistry at school and this article certainly hits the nail on the head. However I think in more recent years I’ve come to appreciate it at as an interesting subject. The same goes for History.

I think another root cause is modern schooling does a pretty terrible job of teaching a passion for learning (unless of course you’re lucky enough to have some amazing teachers). I didn’t really completely discover the joy of learning until I did my degree and since then I’ve had a renewed interest in subjects I paid less attention to in school because the thought of learning new things excites me a whole lot more than it used to.

Seems likely TwinkieDB would likely cause some legal problems.
There's no way the Pentagon actually cares what planes Denmark buys, so some Lockheed executive probably asked a congressman to do it at some DC luncheon, and then the congressman made a bunch of noise at the Pentagon, and somebody at the Pentagon made a bunch of noise at the NSA, and the NSA had some Georgetown flunky query a database with some names and email addresses and write a report.

A perfectly banal waste of taxpayer dollars.

I’m curious - what are you working on that brings you to sensor fusion?

There are probably less than a hundred people today outside the defense industry who would want to build a sensor fusion system on an embedded platform. I suspect that half or more of this population lives in the Bay Area.

Oh don't get me wrong, I am very happy Apple is leaving this open enough you can cross boot. But for me personally, it's more about the long term than next month. I suspect it's going to be at least a couple years before someone gets a Linux or Darwin/ BSD build going on this guy regardless.
Done, thanks for the suggestion
Could you give some more detail? I’m not familiar with the legal landscape.
I was always into computers stuff since I was young, but biology always give we a feeling of wonder and excitement. In high school I always planned to enter the Informatics Olympiad (there are multitude of Science Olympiad in high school where you compete on city level, then regional state/province lever, then nationally and ultimately on international level). Instead, I got hooked into biology and ended up competing on the Biology Olympiad all the way into the International Biology Olympiad.

When people asked me why a person that loves computer like me is getting into biology so much, my answer is how come anyone not getting crazy over biology? The rabbit hole is so deep, I can't help but dig and dig just to satisfy my curiosity. When people heard about biology they always imagine endless recitation on taxonomy and stuff but like the author wrote, that's not what biology is all about.

Alas, I ended up not having a career in biology-related field though. I'm a programmer through-and-through. But I did meet my wife through these event so it's not all for nothing, and I still like biology.

First: thanks for this project. Currently halfway Gullivers Travels, and re-ead and re-discovered some great classics through your project.

What are the plans for other languages, if any?

I noticed that you have e.g. German or French originals translated to English. Is there place in the project for the original languages?

And what about translations to other languages? If I'm going to read a translation of Les trois mousquetaires, I'd prefer a translation to my native language instead of English.

I feel like the retailer side makes sense, even if you do 0% APR. The alternative to Affirm's merchant fee is a credit card merchant fee (say, 2.9%).

Affirm takes what would be a ~$600 or $2000 credit card transaction and turns it into a series of ACH payments. If (cost of ACH + cost of underwriting) < (cost of credit card merchant fee) then the merchant and affirm can split the difference.
Relative numbers are very important though. I’m not sure how your standard of living went up unless you are at FAANG or you were severely underpaid in Florida.

1. "Youtube partner program" can be terminated after 6 months of zero interaction with users, though creator shall reapply.

2. Youtube shall run ads on non YPP videos.

So idea seems to be, takeaway 'ideal creators' money from them to 'Youtube'.

Is it fair to disassociate creator from "YPP/ads share" for 6 month/more dis-engagement?
> Why start calling things 2-vectors, when you could call them 2-forms and people would know what you were talking about?

There is more to 2-forms. Also, to be precise, they are functions from a vector space to the scalar field (usually reals). Sure, they form a (dual) vector space but I think it would be more confusing to call GA elements k-forms.

I don’t think Mac clones were really comparable. Mac clones were a threat to Apple’s hardware business. Running alternative operating systems on Apple hardware is not a threat to Apple’s hardware business. Apple has been willing to support non-Apple operating systems on their hardware before - Windows via Boot Camp, MkLinux.

(Mobile is a different case, because allowing third party operating systems might threaten their control of software distribution and its tie-in with the hardware; that isn’t the case on Macs since Apple does not mandate their App Store on macOS.)
I'm not sure about that. The famous Spotify discover weekly playlist suggested a chart hit to me only once since its creation years ago, and I liked it.

The release radar playlist may have more chart hits, but this one is not super smart. If you listen to a popular artist you will get all its new songs and shitty remix forever, including its chart hits.

I don't know what I find more repellent about this article: the author's condescending insistence that his schoolteachers should have been better salesmen, the exhortation that biology is complex in one breath while denigrating scientists for constructing a descriptive vocabulary in the next, or (possibly worst of all) the continued erasure of Rosalind Franklin, topped off by a strong recommendation for a book on the matter whose author circled back to tack on an infamously dismissive "exoneration" of Watson and Crick.

I would recommend the edX Introduction to Biology course [0].

It is a simplified version of the introductory biology course at MIT, that doesn't _focus_ on naming/defining things in biology. Instead, it uses the lenses of genetics and biochemistry to explore how the core machinery of life works, and how we got to our current understanding. That said, there is some amount of memorization that is unavoidable.

> Apple does not market iOS devices in terms of performance.

Come on dude, stop bullshitting. Every Apple device promotion shows how it is faster or better than the previous device or its competitors. Even the new Apple ARM processor touts how it is equal or better than other processors.
Their angle has always been accusing Apple of planned obsolescence, which seems laughable compared to how little long-term support Android phones get.

Apple making phones that last a little longer than Google doesn't mean Apple make products that last. That just means that both Google and Apple are designing products that fail unreasonably quickly.

Come on stop spreading this dumb western propaganda, Russia isn't threatening anybody in western Europe.

They took Crimea back and sabotaged Ukraine because strategically they can't afford to have yet another NATO country right at their doorstep. They're not going to invade Poland any time soon (what for anyway?).

They're not crazy nor blood thirsty. This is the same with North Korea: their actions make perfect sense once you look past our propaganda.

Near as I can tell, it's reasonable to say that there were organized groups of state-empowered people in the slave states back as early as the 1700s, whose job was to hunt down escaped slaves. There were also some similar groups across slave and free states who were empowered in part to guard against / control Native Americans.

These early slave patrols / night watches then fairly organically became the "police department" when that concept became widespread in the mid-1800s. I don't think it looks like said spread is really linked to emancipation, but rather (as with the creation of Peel's Metropolitan Police in London in 1829) in response to increasing urbanization / industrialization. Given that the industrial revolution also fairly-strongly caused the US civil war and thus emancipation, we could say it's more a parallel trend than the implied causation.

The cities going "well, we have a somewhat organized group of people whose job is to enforce some laws... why don't we wedge them into this new trend and have them enforce more laws?" gets us that link.
