> I am pointing out the burden this puts on smaller developers.

This already existed. You're saying that the 30% was to cover this burden, but what other people are pointing out is that this 30% isn't necessarily a true market cost of doing business since there was never another option. There is nothing stopping another entity (Stripe or otherwise) from providing a service that covers this burden similar to Apple. If it happens to cost 30% then so be it, but we don't truly know the cost because its effectively a monopolistic economic arrangement provided by Apple.

> Suddenly, creating and distributing apps can get prohibitive for smaller developers.

How so? It's not effected distribution. Apple will still provide an option for a 30% cut. If more devs go to another option then Apple may compete and this 30% may even go down. This is a good thing for the consumer and the developer.

Just because you can spend 90+% of effort on UX doesn't mean that it is necessary or even beneficial.

This would be a bad thing for them, if the New York Times sold the news, which I don't think they do any more. The New York Times instead sells brand image to people. They sell a series of a talking points, ideas, and topics that show you are in the in group and on the right side. So that when someone brings up remote work, you can show how empathetic you are, and how worldly you are and say "Remote work is fine but really it shows how the gains are captured by the few and not the many, I read in the Times that...

Not that there's no valid discussion to have about growth as an objective per se, but this is a particularly weak rebuttal that hinges on a narrow definition of (material) growth. Economic growth is first and foremost about the value of economic exchanges. Not about the amount of stuff we make.

Yes, regulators can do that, and they would have pretty clear antitrust grounds to do it as well.

The difference between random people using the GPL and Apple is that Apple is worth a trillion dollars. That matters quite a bit.
I have often thought perhaps about 50% of Go's success in the high-power network space has little to do with any of its headline features and more to do with the fact that it shipped with the "io.Reader" and "io.Writer" interface from the get-go in the standard library, and as a result, the entire ecosystem tends to support working in the io.Reader and io.Writer interface. One of the joys of working with networking in Go is picking up some half-obscure library like a JSON validator or some obscure encryption/decryption library and finding out that it defaults to stream processing, because it uses Reader/Writer correctly, and the byte-array or string interface is just a convenience wrapper around the stream processing. Anyone who posts a string- or byte-array-only library to some Go discovery mailing list or message board where there isn't a good reason to have it take only those things will get as their first piece of feedback that they should convert the library to be based on Reader/Writer.

There is almost no technical reason any current popular language couldn't work this way. (Though C has some serious challenges with its anemic memory management system, pretty much anything else can do this.) It is all to the culture of the language community, rather than the language itself, and a sort of inductive process of "all previous N libraries worked on strings, so the person writing the N+1'th library also wrote it work on strings". It is one of the problems I have when going back to Python for the sort of work I've done... it only takes one library in a pipeline to work solely on strings to ruin the ability to stream process for the entire pipeline.

(Note this isn't a praise of Go qua Go; again, almost any language is technically capable of pulling this off. It's the libraries that accumulate in a community based on strings, and the problem where it only takes one library in your stack to be based on strings to make stream programming impossible meaning that they tend to "pollute" the community library culture if you don't start from the beginning with stream processing in mind. Otherwise a language community ends up having to create a whole parallel library ecosystem based on stream processing, like Twisted used to be for Python, and that parallel ecosystem is never quite able to keep up with the main one. There are other language communities that also do this successfully, I think, but there are certain communities where the language is perfectly capable of streaming but libraries tend to be written against fully-manifested strings.)
Okay, if I misread that I apologise. I'm not following the rumors, so it seemed like "oh looks like Apple's coming out with another something something and needs to update the spec to handle it". I think my point remains, though.
How many times of being hit in the head is ok? Obviously one wrong hit in the head can lead to death. Is there any acceptable level of being hit in the head?

Why this is even a debate is boggling to me.
I agree that Apple's system adds a lot of value. And that's why I believe it can and should compete with other systems. There should be no problem with informing users about other payment options both in- and outside of an app. But Apple chose to forbid this. And that's not ok.

The outcomes for people who were never charged or convicted of any crimes seems pretty...brutal. Having your livelihood taken away among other sanctions over an allegation would be very upsetting. It seems a safe bet that in an arbitrary amount of time(say, 36 months), this will happen to the "wrong" person - the sort of person who gets upset and kills people they believe(whether right or wrong) to be responsible.

I don't think that would change anything though, other than further vilifying the person - if they weren't a legitimate bad actor before, they would have become one. The social pressure to ostracize someone who is already being ostracized by the majority is a real pressure that affects people.

Sure but the point is that developers should have the option of rolling out their own solution if they don't need all the features Apple provides or agree with the fee. This in turn creates competition which may reduce rates all around.

> prevents apps and browsers installed on your device from sending your private data (known as tracking fingerprints) to the Internet.

For now, Blokada's utility is limited to DNS-based content blocking. It cannot and does not prevent most forms of fingerprinting.

> Is it doing some kind of packet inspection?

Yes, only DNS packet inspection, but even for the only thing it does, it is clumsy: It leaks DNS requests; that is, Blokada does not trap all DNS traffic on port 53, and it does not handle DNS queries sent over TCP. DNS66 has these same issues, too.

> As a secondary layer of blocking I use DNS66 which intercepts DNS requests and fails them for blacklisted domains, by installing itself as a virtual VPN - essentially a cooked /etc/hosts for Android.

Blokada uses the same trick (I mean, core parts of Blokada 4 code-base does bear similarities with DNS66 which preceded it... Blokada 5 however was re-written in Rust).

> Would Blokada work alongside that?

No, it cannot. But: Apps that support "DNS proxying" (like Nebulo [0]) can. It is quite an involved setup. I'd simply use Nebulo over DNS66, as it is not only more capable but also encrypts DNS traffic unlike Blokada 4 or DNS66.

> ...but you seem to be a good person to ask..

A disclosure, rather something to keep in mind: I have been accused of spreading fud by the Blokada lead developer and using it to "market" a "competitor" app I co-develop. In my defense, it wasn't / isn't fud what I spread, unless fud === uncomfortable truth.

This is mostly what we have now. Go compare the divide between the parties vs the Grand Canyon. This is the result. Why? Because opinions. And what does the left do when they can’t disprove an opinion ? Cancel/censor.

Modern TVs do snitch but there are two issues with relying on that:

1. There is a disparity between age groups and other demographic dividers who have newer TVs. This could significantly skew the results for some advertisers.

2. The data is going to the TV manufacturer, and they will not share that freely between themselves or with anyone else. This will complicate collating the data as there are several entities to negotiate with in order to get an overall picture.
Yeah, that's what I also experience. Some kind of "erosion of knowledge" is happening over time - and I wonder if that makes me a "bad developer" if I don't actively fight against that.

Sometimes I think I should be able to come up with a sort algorithm from my mind, for instance - but I would have to look up how quicksort is working. I know that something like quicksort or bubblesort exist, but I couldn't tell you how the algorithm behind it works.

Luther did not first nail his thesis to the door, he mailed them first, and had no intention of starting anything. Nailing things to a church door was common practice so that others could read things (no newspapers). Also Luther was only one of thousands of priests, bishops and monks who complained the Popes at the time were ignoring the faith and the people (which they were). He didn't invent Protestantism, he's just more famous than the others.

I guess you got downvoted for both-sidesing it(Upvoted, btw :D)? I mean both parties do quite suck, even though I still think the GOP is actively harmful, while the Democratic party has good ideas that it fails to build on.

The actual party policies only really diverge on social issues. Economic policy consensus has been corporatist since the Reagan years. The main difference is the democrats are willing to blast out the occasional one-off stimulus and the GOP is also willing to do that but a smaller one-off stimulus.

I don't really see collectivism vs individualism as a left-right split. The religious conservative wing of the right is culturally collectivist, the catholic conservatives are also pretty economically collectivist. The liberal mainstream is highly culturally individualistic(well... within the boundaries of acceptable lib behavior). The left can be almost culturally atomistic, if you go into the disown your racist/homophobic relatives areas of the ideology.

Good.

I've been saying this awhile, most notably when Apple (of course followed by Google) introduced a discount on commission for smaller developers.

This is completely backwards.

I know why they did it. They wanted some positive PR that didn't cost them anything. Thing is, it's the larger publishers who are going to lobby regulators and challenge things in court. It's those same publishers who already have their own payment processing systems where the 30% is pure overhead (minus the CC fees). Small publishers actually get a lot of benefit for that 30% (IMHO).

So what Apple/Google should've done is give larger publishers a volume discount. Of course this should force them into binding arbitration and otherwise challenging the discount should void that discount.

Why? Because it changes the calculus for Epic, etc. Currently that is:

Option 1: Keep paying 30%

Option 2: Leave the app store

Option 3: Challenge the 30% cut in court

Game theory will tell you that there is essentially no downside to (3). Worst case you will be back on the app store at 30% or will leave.

But what if the options were:

Option 1: Keep a volume discount and pay 10%

Option 2: Leave

Option 3: Challenge the cut and possibly end up paying 30% or leaving

Now they have something to lose.

More importantly, it takes the sting out of efforts to lobby regulators because now we're talking about the difference between 1-2% (CC fees at volume) and 10% not 30%.

I stand by my position that end users don't actually want competing third-party app stores. That's just a usability nightmare. But backend payment processing is something else entirely and is the likely first step in breaking the stranglehold.
I have solar. So far, it feels like more of a "feel good" thing than a major economic benefit. Getting a 10kw solar array installed cost ~25k in our territory. Dealing with the local electric company was a huge pain, and the array doesn't actually feed the house (we sell power back to the grid). To really maximize the benefit, you need a powerwall, so you can store surplus energy, continue service during outages, and avoid taking a hit if the net metering agreement changes in the future. We're actually exploring this by way of the Ford F-150 lightning acting as a battery backup, but that also requires upgrading the house to a 400 amp service, so you really start feeling like you're getting in to sunk cost territory.

yes, love this point. the pandemic revealed so many things, mostly damning. but it was also a loud assertion of the primacy of life, an instinctive collective behavior that was so profound and universal it went almost unnoticed. maybe we are ashamed of admitting it as it invalidates all those other behaviors.

but somehow this event has not yet worked its way through into the system. the collective assumed all liabilities, the usual suspects benefited handsomely and position again to resume the feast. back to bean counting and "calculated risks" so as not to hinder the "recovery" etc.

It's kind of a youthful trait, isn't it? An idealism that may carry a ton of insight, really, but no understanding of application.

So they think complicated things shouldn't be complicated and get angry about it. (I did. The Great Recession landed at a critical age in my life)

They demand simple answers, because complicated ones take too long and require real attention and dedication.

People grow out of that. While their politics may not change, usually their approach and understanding do.

For any of the good it's done, it seems like Twitter has arrested that other process. Maybe it's the immediacy, or the audience, or the format, or a combination—don't know. But it used to be the only place you found that kind of squabbling was talk radio, cable TV, or a bar—easily avoidable and not as polluting of regular discourse.

You're wrong. I've checked out many facebook propaganda sources and they are all laughingly obvious that they are state actors OR US internal sources that Facebook could quickly remove with minimal fuss. Yes the English was terrible and the propaganda horribly obvious (yet dumbasses on FB still buy into it or feed the troll). Anyway, FB doesn't want to remove them unless they pop up in mainstream media, otherwise they are very safe because they drive up viewership and commenting and the Zuck loves that.
I actually don't think it was primarily caused by hits to the head. Every collision (including tackles and scrums) "rattles" the head in a way that causes pain, and presumably damage, over time.
That's true - although the physical activity from sports is probably a net good for _players_ on average. I enjoy lifting weights, but that doesn't really fall into either of my categories - I'm not really consuming or creating anything when I'm lifting. You could argue maybe that I'm 'consuming' my workout plan (which I didn't create). Or that I'm 'creating' muscle, but that's a bit of a stretch :)

Either way though, I agree that _watching_ sports TV is firmly in the "consumption" category.
