As Jason Fried of 37Signals would say, "Launching something great that’s a little smaller in scope than planned is better than launching something mediocre and full of holes because you had to hit some magical time, budget, scope window."

The headline seems to be:

> New program reduces App Store commission to 15 percent for small businesses earning up to $1 million per year

This is great and will really help smaller developers, 15% is much more of a palatable tax than the 30% they had previously.
With Canada being a part of FVEY, I'm curious if any Canadians are surprised or shocked at this?

I would assume that their surveillance goes much. much further than this, considering they're basically watching and learning from the U.S.A.
Because mastering the native tongue shows the programmer was able to learn a lot of important basics at a very young age. Whereas the inability to master the native tongue shows a lack of education.
Seems like tipping over $1m of revenue means your App Store tax now suddenly doubles?
I haven't said anything to the contrary. I'm not sure what you found confusing.

To add a quick follow-up to dwinterer's nice reply, note please Z3's current support for nonlinear arithmetic and string logics is more advanced than CVC4's, where many of the detected bugs in Z3 occurred.
> Somehow it's fine for companies to be jerks.

Look at many of the products we make together. Why would we hide behind laws that protect bad practices and think those same companies take a moral high ground on this issue. It is, and always will be, due in part to fiduciary responsibility to shareholders, about the money.
Makes me wish we could increase the lag further. Flip the "I'm on the Moon" switch, which adds a 1.3 second delay in both directions.

One day in the far future, we'll have to learn to deal with the light lag. Why not start now?

Proudly using PBKDF2 in 2019 while presenting oneself as an expert on key derivation functions is the real red flag. It's time to move on. We finished the PHC in 2015, there's multiple worthy candidates that came out the other end under heavy scrutiny. It was an incredibly well run and productive meeting of minds (in my opinion at least). The alternative winners have some novel features that might appeal in certain situations but Argon came out on top and I'm intrigued in anyones reason to not be using it.

Most competitors offered up compute, time and memory parameters that can be modified as needed. The points made in this article are redundant with modern algos.

If you are still using PBKDF2 for new codebases please take a step back and do 10 mins of research, please.

First of all, writing skills != good communication.

As someone else said, hire the person who actually knows how to get the job done -- even if they are not great writers.

(I don't think J. K. Rowling would be the best candidate for many jobs -- except, perhaps, writing.)
Yeah, it doesn't even explain the image frequency problem in traditional superheterodyne receivers, which I'm sure is pretty fundamental to why I/Q exists. (Loosely speaking, a superheterodyne receiver transforms the input frequency to some fixed intermediate frequency by shifting everything by an adjustable local oscillator frequency. However, there are two different input frequencies that produce the same frequency on the output: one above the local oscillator by the same amount as that intermediate frequency, and one below it by the same amount. Those are basically the positive and negative frequencies the article talks about I/Q data being able to distinguish.)
I never claimed pocket detracted from privacy. I actually explained my problem with pocket... To add to that, it shouldn't be embedded in the browser. It's an extension and they have a marketplace for that.

No that was a waste ^_^

One of the things that was becoming a big thing when I left my last big company employer, was non-standard backgrounds. When you're looking for diversity a product manager or developer that has had a previous job as a lawyer (or whatever) can be a really useful asset.

They see things a little bit different from their team. Call out risks that wouldn't otherwise have been addressed.
Apple will reduce App Store cut to 15 percent
This is good for smaller developers, but it doesn't really seem to solve the actual problem? All the people who are willing to go to war with Apple and have teeth are making way more than that…
Do you mean the Falcon rockets? The whole point of them is that they aren't ballistic missiles, isn't it?
I do really argue that Rust is redundant for C developers who want to bring some extra safety into their projects without disrupting their toolchains and practices. I also argue that this extra safety can bring more than Rust is capable of providing. Now, what's the technical merit of Rust that justifies spending time learning it when the same time can be spent on bringing ATS into the same codebase/toolchain one function at a time?

What's the point of waiting for 1.0.0? It's just a tag that doesn't save you from bugs and breaking changes.

What is industry support? What does it have to do with a team where everyone can read the documentation of the tool that is already built on top of a mature GCC ecosystem and that adheres existing approaches to debugging, profiling, releasing and maintaining C codebases?

Why do I need a separate solution such as Cargo if I can build, package, and distribute everything with Nix and get reproducibility, distributed builds, transparent caching, and environment isolation along the way for free?
Covid has absolutely shown that there are a lot of people who prioritise "the economy" over even quite a lot of deaths.
I'd hope they've learned from tax law the world around and only apply the 30% rate from the second million...?

Edit: just read the sibling comment... that seems... unnecessarily complicated and non-reactive to short term changes...?
> If a participating developer surpasses the $1 million threshold, the standard commission rate will apply for the remainder of the year.

> If a developer’s business falls below the $1 million threshold in a future calendar year, they can requalify for the 15 percent commission the year after.

So they take 15% commission from first million and 30% from later sales until developer falls below million in a calendar year.
“Look up” is a macOS feature that can look up a word in the system Dictionary or Wikipedia. It can be activated by force-clicking or tapping with three fingers on a trackpad Mac, and by a right-click menu options in some apps (Firefox isn’t one of them) on all Macs. It is distinct from search.
Apple Silicon and losing our legacy
'...roaming abilities': can you explain?
As a Europeon, 'roaming' is travelling to a different country and using a foreign network, but paying our home provider. Do the US states consider is Colorado different to California? I always understood 'not different', and I may have misunderstood a tech element.
A Flutter package which implements a ConvexAppBar
The way it is written, that seems to be the case. I imagine -since it makes really more sense, for people doing "a bit over 1M"- that it works more like tax brackets: 15% on your first million in revenue, 30% after that.
I will concede that my original comment was unclear; I am not particularly annoyed I had to clarify it a few times. I was just (somewhat unreasonably) annoyed that poeple thought I hadn't read the article.
This is great news for many indie devs, but I think this is only a start.
Only on sales beyond the $1m, also its calculated after the apple compensation, so its on total sales of $1.15m then you pay 30%.
Same model as Unreal Engine. I wonder if this scaling model works out for most marketplaces or only specific ones.
I don't understand what you're trying to say. What do the nodes and vertices in your model represent? Lines of code? Functions? Why is everything fully connected, why not make it a star or a tree?
Taking a swing at Mike Tyson in the parking lot before the match is pretty dumb, but if your alternative is facing him in the ring it's probably your best option. That was the context of Japan attacking the US at Perl Harbour[1].

The US had already effectively declared war on the US at that point from the point of view of Japan. They'd demanded an unconditional withdrawal from China.

There's some alternate history where Russia never sold Alaska and Japan military bases there. What do you think if the US had done in 1941 if Japan demanded it withdraw from the "occupied" territory West of the Mississippi and return it to native control, while amassing a fleet in Russian/Japanese Alaska?

Furthermore, maybe Japan just wanted the US withdrawn from New Mexico & Nevada[2] (post 1937 occupied territories), but left the demand delibirately ambiguous so as to suggest everything west of the Mississippi (Manchuria)[2] (search for "was later deleted").

I'm not suggesting those are morally equivalent, but merely that Japan at the time pretty much saw it that way. Manchuria was around half of the empire's territory.

So suggesting that Perl Harbor wasn't reasonable is a pretty big stretch. Unless one of your options is to effectively become a vassal state of the US (unconditionally abandon >50% of your territory) war was inevitable.

At that point they could either take the initiative at Perl Harbor, or wait until the US attacked them at its leisure.

No. The app store has always taken a 30% cut, so there's no "suddenly doubles" about this. It's a new rate. The new rate is 15% for <$1m commission. Once you hit $1m it reverts to the 30% rate.
The studies & data on "health checks" -- temperature checks, symptom screening, etc -- thus far shows that it is generally considered to not be very effective.

Here are 3 studies I found quickly, but this line from [2] sums it up nicely: "... screening is resource intensive and its effectiveness is limited due to a high proportion of asymptomatic or pre‐symptomatic cases, resulting in low detection rates."

Apple Reduces App Store Commissions to 15% for Small Businesses Starting 2021
Sure, I just think the conversation right now is, "Why would you pay me less if I move from SF to Alabama, I'm the same guy doing the same work."

The conversation in the future will be "Why would I hire you in SF and pay you three times what I'm paying in Alabama? You're equivalent guys doing the same work."

The concept of the "standard" will shift from the highest-paid locale to the lowest, and "Cost of Living Adjustment" will be something that employees in San Francisco plead for, not something that employees in Libya complain about.

The only way out of this will be to rebut the assertion "you're doing the same work," i.e. to have skills that are globally unique. Not that you have to be Jeff Dean to keep a job, but that you have to be a whole lot more capable than your peers, the same way that a product is not assumed to be manufactured in America unless there is a compelling reason to.
Regarding Firefox, I'm unsure what you mean by "no macOS menu bar function for Pin Tab", is this something different from right clicking on a tab and selecting Pin Tab?

And handoff took its sweet time but it has been supported for a while now between iOS and Firefox on Mac.
I'd hope so too, but it doesn't seem to be worded that way.
I think a first rank classics PhD is probably worth more than an average PhD in physics. The problem is, exactly as you say: the majority of "classical scholars" these days don't even read Greek or Latin; something the average high school graduate could do in the 1800s.
I don't think we're in disagreement, I just think we're focusing on different things. In any case, I think we've beat this one to death. :)
Is nuclear suitcase bombs still a thing ???.

I recall the Soviets threatening to place pre-positioned bombs on US soil if Reagan ever deployed the "Star Wars" missile defense shield which make their response and a first strike option way more viable for an American leader.

Great, thanks. I just compared my family car to a somewhat equivalent EV, and it takes 40,000km to break even in CO2 emissions. This is very much in line with my original point (and my "back of the envelope maths"). In the online calculator you linked, I assumed a car life of around 150,000km, as the longevity of mass-produced EVs is yet to be determined. It also addresses none of the additional points in my original comment, as we have so far talked entirely about CO2 emissions. If it is all about CO2, and the impending climate catastrophe, then the relatively small reduction in CO2/mile from an EV is just not even close to what is needed. In the calculator linked, it's a 40% reduction per mile. An EV is not the answer. Significantly fewer travelled miles is the answer.

Edit: Just for reference, the UN is calling for a 7.6% reduction in CO2 every year for the next 10 years. Either way you calculate it, an EV alone does not acheive that goal. And if you massively reduce your miles (say, 10x), it doesn't matter (relatively speaking) if you use an EV or an ICE car.

Prediction markets might well have some big players trying to hedge.

For example, imagine you are a carmaker. You donate to politician A so he makes carmaker friendly policies if he wins. Politician B refuses your donation, so instead you bet that he'll win.

You size the donation and the bet so that whatever the outcome, your car company will make the same amount next year. Either through friendly laws increasing sales, or by winning the bet.

You've now removed political uncertainty from your business, and you can focus on designing the best cars.
Might look like self-promotion but a tool* I've developed is meant to help (read: force) people into writing in a better way:

You write your full idea, then you create a new 'layer', and have to cut down on words. Basically distilling what you're trying to say. In the end you'll end up with the 'shortest' layer of the message.

I built it partly with the aim of helping remote workers 'learn' how to write better

Weird how this is the exact opposite of Valve's strategy:

> For all sales between $10 million and $50 million, the split goes to 25 percent. And for every sale after the initial $50 million, Steam will take just a 20 percent cut.

https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/30/18120577/valve-steam-gam...
I have the exact opposite experience. I can't have a phone call while doing something else since I don't have a hands-free set.

With a wireless headset connected to my computer I have much more freedom, and at least I can continue some low-key work during meetings which aren't all that interesting or have a lull
> I recommend hiring at least one person who actually knows how to get the job done.

I totally agree.

Having "strong writing skills" is a plus -- but it is way less important than being qualified to the job.
"The new App Store Small Business Program, as it’s called, will allow any developer who earns less than $1 million in annual sales per year from all of their apps to qualify for a reduced App Store cut of 15 percent, half of Apple’s standard 30 percent fee, on all paid app revenue and in-app purchases."
Also, hire telepaths to know when the job is done.
> In related news, when people talk about the merits of developing with just Vim vs. an IDE, I also recount the same story.

I've been in similar situations and while I've honestly tried to give Vim a go, there just seemed like to much setup and configuration so I went back to an IDE. In my case sshfs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSHFS) was the lifesaver. Code locally, execute remotely. 99% of the time, I'd finish making a code change in the IDE and by the time I'd switched to the terminal on the remote server, it had already sync'ed.
The correct amount is still 0%, from anyone.
I'm really glad Elixir devs are not referred to as "Sorcerers".
The weird thing is that hardly anyone seems willing to take credit for this success.
Regular SSH won't work if your IP address changes since it uses TCP where sessions are tied to (IP address, port) tuples. However mosh uses UDP and its own session management scheme, so you can "roam" between IP addresses and your session will stay alive, you can continue typing and will receive screen updates as if nothing has happened.
Pay is a power relationship. No one is asking company directors to take a pay cut based on cost of living calculations, because company directors have power over their companies. Similarly cleaners are paid peanuts even if they have to live/commute to high cost of living cities to do the job, because cleaners have no power in the relationship. This is also why workers who unionise can be paid more - the union has power over the employer.

Except Unreal Engine actually delivers some value for their cut.
Great move!

30% is a case for antitrust given how big Apple App Store today is. 15% seems reasonable, 10% would be ideal.

Though it should be 15% for everybody, no artificial caps.
Moreover, I believe once you become a platform there should be an independent nano-courthouse where you can appeal.

Today being rejected by Apple, Amazon, or Google platform is equivalent to the economical death penalty for many individuals.

It should be possible to pay $100 by individuals and appeal to an independent nano-courthouse if the original platform rejects or blocks you. If you win, the appeal fee is refunded and the platform has to cover the cost. If you lose, your $100 is gone.

Fee could be adjusted to your earnings, but basic mechanism should stay the same.
Figure 8 in the OOPSLA paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.08799.pdf) provides a breakdown of the bugs found in different logics for Z3 and CVC4.
I would say the opposite actually. We have chosen quite drastic measures in many countries for a relatively small number of deaths. Global warning is not 1% dies. It very well could be 90% and we return to pre-industrial levels of civilization.
There are also checkpoints throughout the airport that monitors with thermal cameras. It's been that way for as long as I can remember whenever I travel there.
Hmm. I don't agree with you. My degree is chemistry from a good-not-great institution. Since getting into SE, I've progressed to technical leadership very rapidly.

I have dedicated myself to applying for jobs, but it's not that much work. It's about making sure you advertise matching strengths.

I make sure my CV only has the minimum information needed to sell this. Then only job of my CV is to get a callback. After that, it comes down to my interviewing.

I also have an extraordinarily high success rate. I've applied to 8 SE jobs in my career. 7 of those led to interviews, 4 to jobs. Of the three interviews, 2 of them I chose not to progress with (i.e. they didn't reject me, I rejected them).

Maybe my strength has been applying to realistic opportunities. My first jobs were low paying roles in non-tech companies.

Remember that your strongest selling point is your most recent experience. As a fresh graduate, your university matters the most. As soon as you have your first job, your experience here will dictate your next step.

Since my first job, I still get asked about how I transitioned from chemistry to SE, but the tone has changed. People don't expect me to justify the change, they want to hear about the similarities, differences, and strengths that have translated. It's become one of my favorite interview questions to answer now.

Hey HN! For my surprise, right after the GamerPower launch (a gaming platform that helps gamers to find, track and collect the best giveaways in gaming), I got several emails and comments asking for an API...

Honestly, that was not in my plans, but I must admit it was a very interesting idea. So here we are, I just finished the first version, and it's ready to use!

What do you guys think? Feedback is welcome!
That isn't true. You can use ad-hoc signatures generated during the build. The point is to detect tampering and damage.
We'll have to see how other stores aligns, and what is the effect on consoles.

I think in the long-term the 30% comission should disappear, but it can be gradual.
> the required “verb” (the predicate) is more precisely a finite verb

You mean every "sentence" must have a "finite verb"? Do you have a good url explaining that?
