It depends of course on how you published.

When I was authoring software (over two decades ago) and a company acted as publisher they took 85% of gross.

For author/publisher relationships at that time, this was pretty typical (book authors/publishers being the closest analog).

Needless to say there was, in addition to the cost of creating and shipping floppies, advertising that the publisher had to cover.

Apple's 30% cut seemed fair to me when the App Store arrived.

I'm not sure if I would try to ship an iOS app these days though. Not because of Apple's cut but because of the race to the bottom that was unleashed shortly after the App Store gold rush: where now you don't appear to even be able to sell a $0.99 app.
Presumably it could wait until someone actually asks for the phone's location in that case. No need to report the location if no one's asked for it.
I've always thought of them as "endpoints for deploying cooperate software into your life" but this is also a pretty good description.
SpaceX does sell a solid chunk of their launches to US government departments, but those departments save on those launches quite a bit - so American taxpayer benefits there.

It's true that SpaceX was helped by NASA after they got their first successful launches of Falcon-1, that help was important and allowed skipping Falcon-5. However that's the regular way American taxpayers - represented by those government departments - operate: they grow markets of new products and services, and then both benefit from new offerings and receive tax from them, while public has more chances for personal enrichment.

In some sense, yes, it's American taxpayer who makes all that - including favorable legal environment - possible; on the other hand, investors are the standard way, the means how that is done. It's odd to see taxpayers and investors as completely opposing entities.
No, they literally hired actors for their headshots. (1,2). Drivers also sued Uber for the barage of texts sent to them trying to sway their support on the issue (3).

LeBron is a wonderful example of people who shouldn't open their mouth about things they don't understand, like the actual police violence stats which show that blacks are underrepresented as the victims of the police as a function of criminality.
To be clear, Apple was a co-founder of Advanced RISC Machines Ltd (which became the current Arm Ltd), five years after the ARM (Acorn RISC Machine) architecture.
For programming languages, I agree with you. Though I don't really see how "int*" is different from "Optional<int>". You can write:

func foo(maybeInt *int) {
if maybeInt == nil { panic("not so optional!!!!") }
...
}

Just as easily as:

func foo(maybeInt Optional<int>) {
switch maybeInt {
case None:
panic("not so optional!!!!!")
...
}
}

To me, it just isn't a big deal. Your program is going to crash and return unexpected results when it expects something to exist and it doesn't, and the type system won't save you. (Even Haskell crashes at runtime when a pattern match doesn't resolve. Don't see how that's any different than a nil pointer dereference. Your live demo is ruined.)

For protocols,an Optional type just pushes the problem one level down. Is the optional value "None" because the client didn't know the field existed, or because they explicitly set it to "None"? You can't tell.

I think rather than going 3 levels deep, it's easier to just define the default values and not distinguish between these three cases. If you want an Optional value, you can make yours as complex as you wish:

message Optional {
int value = 1;
bool empty_because_the_user_said_so = 2;
bool client_has_version_of_proto_with_this_field = 3;
}

Now if you get (0, false, false), you know that's because the client is outdated. If you get (0, false, true), you know that's because the user didn't feel like sending a value. And if you get (0, true, true), you know the user wanted 0. (Of course, there are all the other cases that you have to handle -- what about (1, false, true), or (1, true, false)?)

I think you'll find that nobody but programming language purists want this feature. If your message is:

message FooRequest {
int foos_to_return = 1;
}

You do the right thing regardless of whether the 0 in foos_to_return is what the user wanted, something the user forgot to set, or the user has an old version of FooRequest ("message FooRequest{}").*
> Since tar is a streaming format originally intended for tape

So why are we still using it if ~99% of Linux users and administrators have never seen a digital tape drive? I've built quite a number of Linux, BSD and Windows servers yet the only tape with digital data I have seen in my entire life was for a Spectrum. Do we really need our files stored in a way compatible with tape storage?

> As a user, I can use tar and an outside compression tool together in one command to see the file list.

Which would decompress the whole archive, the seek through it. Ridiculous waste with no benefit.

Tar is the ultimate idiosyncrasy of of Linux.
> When the user is _not_ logged in

Does this matter? How many people do you know that aren't logged in on their phones? It is literally one the first things Android asks you to do even before showing you the main screen.
Probably. IIRC, GPOs can include arbitrary registry keys and can have custom policies. I maybe dated in this area, though.
This is not surprising to me at all.

IMO, the CEO had a bit of a Steve Jobs hero-worship complex, but only all the bad parts. I can absolutely see him putting two teams on the same project, and "may the best product win".

The team that "lost" would get canned, obviously (I saw it happen to two separate offices while I was there).
The raspberry pi is pretty popular here, but as someone who works on both embedded and server applications, I find it to be a massive piece of shit. The broadcom SoCs they use are complete garbage, with really poor reliability and several badly broken peripherals.

Yeah, I'm sure they're ignoring telemetry data. They probably just go outside with a few polaroid cameras and capture pics.

I can't tell if you're trolling, or if you're serious? SpaceX does an incredible job of instrumenting their rockets. They do plenty of "on ground testing" of Raptor, but some things can only be tested during flight.

Any kind of user customization will have the same effect. Any preference that the user can edit can be a confounding variable in an A/B test.

I don't want to live in a software world where as a user I'm forced into a one-size-fits-all approach to every interface just because it makes A/B testing easier.

Greed. 100% greed. While I was there, the CEO loved to just fly between offices (randomly) on his private jet. You never knew where he'd pop up, and that put everybody on edge, because when he was unhappy he tended to fire people in large chunks (and shut down entire offices). Every decision was motivated by how it affected the stock price.
Because it will cost the taxpayer more?
I've thought about this problem a lot - I want to create a social network that has the following attributes:

- $1 a year to participate

- You must read posts/articles to reply. Imagine the mechanism in which this is determined to be "perfect."

- No pictures

- Karma is gathered by writing posts that are read a lot, as opposed to comments that have a lot of "upvotes."

- Upvotes/downvoting doesn't exist.

From my experience the social media addiction is heightened by 3 attributes:

1. pictures

2. how controversial something is

3. trolling

The issue though is that a social network like I described would be something people wouldn't want to use, so it wouldn't really serve to be a place people could go to that's a healthier community. It's a tough nut to crack.

I think it's because you have to pay money to access the cell network; You need an identety to clear billing with. Until we have enough spectrum for WiFi to have longer ranges you will never be able to use a portable device with internet access like cell phones have without being tracked. The extra data exfiltrated from our devices is often only a little more precise than what the carriers in many places are already selling.

i'm getting the impression that iot providers have far, far lower privacy standards vs dedicated tech providers. This to me indicates that they don't take the internet capability of their kettles/cars seriously enough. It's just a gimmick. This is not a constructive way to advance iot.
Sometimes I want to:

1. size based on how big it is in the real world - mm (but accurate!)

2. size based on user preference - rem?

3. size based on how large it appears to the eye - angle subtended on the retina (displays that don't know this can assume an average distance to the eye different for desktop, mobile, jumbotron, etc and work it out from their size)

4. size based on the kind of interaction the user will have (touch / mouse / eye / point) - some kind of new unit based on Fitts law - or should this just be a bunch of special cases?

5. size based on proportion of the available space - % vh vw

I basically never need to size based on some other factors but maybe they have a use:

1. size based on the minimum resolvable size (i.e. the smallest something could be without losing definition). I guess this is much more of a concern if you're using a lot of very low resolution screens - px (but actual)

2. size based on the size of the whole document (including document that isn't visible)

Of course this is all made extra complicated by the fact that sometimes containers need to be sized based on concerns bigger than them, while sometimes they're sized based on the sizes of their contents. And whatever framework you're using is probably bad at exposing key pieces of information about e.g. 'how much of this text can I get in this width'

Unfortunately operating systems tend to have little clue about how big in the real world their display surfaces are, they are even less clueful about how far away the user is. Everything seems to be based on an early assumption that what was important was the dots on the screen, and as that assumption has proven false, instead of attacking the problem in a principled way, we've just created scaling fudges on top of pixels to take into account higher quality, user 'zoom' preference etc.

In the hypothetical ideal world, I'd set my IDE editor font setting to a subtended angle setting and switch between desktop and laptop displays, upgrade the resolution of my screen, or the size of my screen and never have to change it.

> this is a classic example of how companies collude without direct communication.

In that case, let's have that conversation as a society and as a government. "Are companies listed in Table 1 and 2 in collusion as defined by current law?".

In most of the Apple 30% conversations, the conversations seem to be about an instance (Apple) instead of an object (Digital Store Tax, Collusion etc). Lets set the frame and be clear about the conversation we want to have regardless of the business we talk. We can use Apple, Microsoft et al as examples to make the point. We shouldn't replace them with the overarching discussion.

I used to work at a nuclear energy services consultancy. I heard a story about how an energy think-tank had particular rooms with power-saving motion occupancy sensors for the lights. The problem was sitting still at a computer would result in the lights suddenly going off. An engineer solved this problem with a drinking bird toy with a warm bowl of water right at the level of the sensor.

Imagine if PayPal was handling your cash transaction when your are at a store instead of you paying the store directly.

We don't need PayPal or Visa to pay with crypto. These are desperate attempts for these middleman to keep the control they have. In fact this way they can make the crypto experience worse than regular payments with hight fees etc. Pushing people away and thinking crypto doesn't work.
The gaming industry isn't doing responsive design. For multiple reasons, some legitimate and some not, but the point is that I would consider them to be a separate category.

This all goes back to the fact that fossil fuels are too cheap. Their cost doesn't reflect the lifetime cost of extraction + dealing with the carbon. Much like the hidden cost of nuclear is in dealing with the waste.

The only viable solution I can see is a carbon tax at source. If we taxed fossil fuel extraction and carbon intensive imports from countries which didn't tax fossil fuels, we would create the market conditions needed for green technology.

If we're in the business of bad-faith expositions of positions we disagree with, what's so attractive about the alternative that unfathomable aeons ago nothing exploded into something that coalesced in such an improbable way that a bunch of incredibly complicated chemical reactions happened (with no known mechanism for selection, mind you) to produce a biological organism capable of assembling electrons transmitted through the aether to another organism that could make snarky replies?

I'm sure you can reduce nearly any argument into silly-sounding caricatures of itself, but it's not a useful method for actually understanding what's true (or if truth even exists).
I agree. If nothing else, a community of the young and hungry might mean that there never is any leftover pizza.
For fairly small images. It costs gas to store data in the chain -- the bigger the transaction (in bytes), the more it costs to process. Rates fluctuate, but you can estimate around 0.03 ETH per KB. Since you have to exchange the token every transfer, it becomes clear quickly why you want to offload the file itself from the main chain.
I think texts/video calls/etc. isn't social media, it's much more like conversation.

That's why people (in general) are not nearly as mean or rude on a voice call or a 1-to-1 text chat. When you hear someone's voice or actually engage with a real time conversation (like a text chat, which you can't as easily just walk away from), they develop an interiority to you that forces you to empathize with them. The physical world is the ultimate version of this: seeing a person's body and face forces you to acknowledge their internal life, because the shared physical experience forces it. That's why it's a much higher barrier to bully or be bullied in the physical world.

There are exceptions to this, obviously. Tight knit forums, irc rooms, small moderated communities have an empathetic cost of interaction. But those are not really "social media", imho.

More cynically, it's also an agency who's purpose is to support labor. So, it seems understandable that one of the biggest companies with some of the hottest labor issues would want any types of insurance it can acquire in the interest of contingency-planning.
