> running the App Store, marketing the apps

What marketing specifically? Last time I checked, I had to integrate third party ad experiences in order to market my app in their ecosystem.

> In such a hypothetical world, developers could potentially avoid the commission while benefitting from Apple's innovation and intellectual property free of charge.

> Apple argued from the very beginning that the 30% was its fee for running the App Store, marketing the apps, and storing and delivering the app bundles

With hindsight of the antitrust case in the EU this argument itself seems like it is in bad faith. Apples argument in the EU against antitrust was that there isn't one but five different app stores, conveniently for each device family.

So they are indeed aware that a commercial app developer would likely not be "benefitting from Apple's innovation and intellectual property free of charge", because they are likely not taking advantage of their entire catalogue of intellectual property (if there is five different app stores, for five different markets, as per Apples argument, surely there is different IP between those markets to run the app store in an effective manner).

In other words, as others have mentioned, Apple charges a 30% flat fee for "intellectual property" that developers may or may not take advantage of, as per their own argument overseas. I don't see how it's not antitrust when a company forces me to pay for services that I am not taking advantage off or ever had the intent of using, or can't use, due to technical limitations.

As a developer, to me it rather feels like Apple is trying to artificially bind me to invest into the app store as a platform due to this high fee, for example by developing an accompanying watch applet or a tablet version of my app, because the act of simply offering these on their devices seems to be part of their precious App Store IP. And you can't argue that pricing these add-on apps differently would make a difference for Apple, since they collect the 30% cut across income in their entire ecosystem either way.

It also doesn't make sense for Apple to tell me to go elsewhere (Android) to mitigate this, as I can't replicate the UX of their ecosystem on my own even if I tried (prime example would be the peripheral integration imo. You'll find creating a device that integrates as seamlessly as the Apple Watch fairly hard, not because Apple has some special proprietary integration IP secret sauce, but because they artificially lock down ways to interface with peripherals to secure market dominance).
No, it doesn't. If your principles are to mean anything, you can't give them up just because "that other guy doesn't have principles". Either stick by your principles, or don't claim to have them.
Right-clicking an app bundle and clicking open gives you the option to run the app even if it's not signed and notarized by Apple.
But even American companies have offices abroad especially as they get big (not OpenAI yet but if they get big enough surely). Eg deepmind is based in the UK. Is it surprising to you that people from other countries might be wary of strengthening the US military at all costs?

Also, we know that the US military frequently uses its powers to maintain its global hegemony and the influence of US corporations abroad. This can be beneficial (more stable world order with fewer conflicts) but can be harmful (if the US decides to overthrow your government to protect its interests or the interests of the powerful within the US, bye bye)
It's a fairy tale. There's no way $200/month in food stamp benefits (conditioned, BTW, on not having more than $2000 cash in a bank account) does jack squat to the gap between someone recieving SNAP benefits and someone who's actually well off. Even if you add in Medicaid benefits that some SNAP recipients are automatically eligible, it doesn't even come close.

It doesn't explain how Gen X won't be able to retire, or how 80% of Americans can't afford new cars, or how the average person can't afford a home in 99% of America. And, it sure as hell doesn't explain what's going on at the grocery store, or in the used car market, or in the rental market. (All of which has been previously / recently discussed on here, BTW.)

And, it for damn sure doesn't pay my bills. That story and $3 doesn't even get you a latte at a chain coffee shop anymore.

No, it's just some made up BS to either gaslight us into thinking everything is fine, or make wealthy people feel okay about all the exploitation it takes to turn the crank that makes them a dollar.

> “Stores across the country are reversing course on the machines”

Umm, what? I see no evidence of this. There are more self-checkouts than ever. Many shops in London are almost entirely self-checkouts now, with just one or two token staffed check-outs for people who want to buy vapes or whatever.

Besides, where would they even get the staff to go back to manual checkouts? It’s already super frustrating when a shop doesn’t have enough self checkout machines and you have to line up!

Many supermarkets are offering self-scan via apps now anyway, so you can skip the check out entirely (except that you still need to use the self checkout machine to do the final payment).
Why is this being downvoted? This is totally possible, though I'm not saying it happened.

Is it because it's speculative?
Here is some information from one of the articles linked by the OP

The main technique to create biochar, called pyrolysis, involves charring waste vegetation at low temperatures in an environment with little to no oxygen. “If you starve it of oxygen, then you cannot oxidize a piece of wood to CO2 and water—and you leave a lot of carbon behind,” said Lehmann. The same piece of wood left to rot or burned in normal (oxygen-rich) conditions would release its carbon into the atmosphere within minutes to months. When vegetation is charred, the carbon remains trapped for decades or even centuries. ...

Recent research has found that biochar improves the soil in some contexts and has the most climate mitigation potential of any land-based effort, including agroforestry and afforestation—though Lehmann pointed out that nothing is more effective than keeping forests standing in the first place.

While it is a difficult problem, it is not an infeasible problem nowdays, at least for trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions. (All possible arguments have been mapped to prove how many additional bits are needed for correct rounding.) Two-argument pow remains an unsolved problem in my knowledge though.

That all refers to a failing allocation, obviously. If realloc cannot allocate the new object, the old one stays valid.

In the case of size zero, malloc(0) can return null (always). That is ambiguous; it looks like a failure. If realloc literally were to call malloc(0) and then treats the null as a failure, it will return the old object. However, on an implementation where malloc(0) always returns null by design, that would be obviously be poor behavior for its own realloc.

If malloc(0) returns null by design that is not a case where allocating an object failed.

We basically now need this in every program that might resize to zero:

void *sane_realloc(void *ptr, size_t size)
{
if (size == 0) {
free(ptr);
return malloc(0);
}
return realloc(ptr, size);
}

The only problem is that if malloc(0) returns null on an implementation where it normally returns an allocated pointer (and thus the call has failed) we don't detect the failure and don't preserve the original object. The application which relies on sane_realloc has to understand that when size is zero, the deallocation always works, whether or not the subsequent malloc does, and so it may get a null pointer on any platform.

> I just don't have faith in US political and cultural stability anymore, and as such I don't have faith that the constitution will be upheld . . . .

You can have faith or lack thereof in whatever you want, but I would like you to provide one single example in history where the President decided to give the military unconstitutional orders (as in legally acknowledged at the time to be unconstitutional, not "I don't like it so it's unconstitutional") and the US military sided with him instead of the Constitution.
Sure, in the same way every website has the option to make it's own social media website. The website is the "easy" part but not necessarily the most profitable point to pitch to companies like Apple.
As it is happening anyways, I would be happy if the US is at the forefront instead of China or worse.
Operation Condor wasn't very pax for anyone living in Pinochet's Chile, or really anywhere in South or Latin America, but I'm sure your family did just fine.
It's amazing how the hand of the "free" "market" has conditioned you to think exactly backwards about this problem.
> ”DROP all items in the self-checkout basket, and it automatically computes everything!”

Yeah, I’ve seen this in a few clothing stores (Uniqlo, H&M, Zara). UHF RFIDs embedded in the tags.

It’s more for the store’s benefit than anything (makes stock takes very easy, for example!), but the neat self checkout is a nice side-benefit.
Copyright is just made up for pragmatic purposes. To incentive creation. It does not matter if training models is not the same as reproducing something exactly if we wish to decide that it's unfair or even just desirable for economic incentive to disallow it, then we are free to make that decision. The trade offs are fairly profound in both directions I think and likely some compromise will need to be made that is fair to all parties and does not cripple economic and social progress.
The cost of a human working all day is negligible; they need a little bit of food. And yet they still expect to be paid - sometimes quite a lot.

Just based on your quote and without having much interest in the case... the fee isn't about covering costs. They have an app store, people want to be in the app store, and Apple is going to charge them a fee to be in the app store. Similar logic to drawing a wage.
The problem is that Spirit is but going to survive 2024. Between their debt situation and a number of their A320 Neos about to be grounded thanks to a Pratt and Whitney eff-up, they won't be around long enough to keep anything competitive.
No one wants to become managers anymore
I’m a little confused by this, 38% DO want to be managers. Is it a pyramid, so you can’t even have the majority become managers so this feels like supply is matching demand?
Hey, sorry, was not tried to be disrespectful to you. See my other answer. Just feels like that way of saying is very old school and for me only related to disrespect to women.

Does Google Maps still assume that the toll applies in both directions? I used to live near a bridge like this and it was really annoying, because I had Google Maps set to avoid toll roads, but because of this it would refuse to plot a route over the bridge, even though there was no toll in that direction.
Not really, I fail to see why it would need the latest and greatest Wi-Fi standard's bandwidth. It's not a workstation, it's an XR device.
I wonder whether part of the motivation for stores to deploy self-checkout is to prevent unionization/as a bargaining chip with unions. Even if you deploy just a few self-checkout in stores, it serves as a constant message to the workers that the company might start firing people in favour of machines if they demand too much.

Even if self-checkout results in more theft or other issues, some companies may figure that is worthwhile to keep the workforce in line.

Given the zeal Apple has for their 30%, they absolutely will be demanding fully open books and tracking for that outbound link.

There's no firsthand knowledge because this is the first time Apple's actually had to chase companies for the fee. In fact, their whole argument against Epic was that banning steering made it easier on both parties to attribute revenue.
this energetic overview necessarily blurs a lot of distinctions when describing the changes in population and language over time. The Vikings (aka pirates) were a dominant form for a very long time, with care going to ferocity and travel skills, not fancy verb forms or leather bound books. It was literally larger and larger Feudal associations that led to merging into this kingdom or that kingdom, and not everyone was in great agreement.

"The King has been baptised so all the citizens are now Christian" happened many times. Along with Christianity came fancy verb forms and leather bound books. It is not a complete story the way it is told in this article, which implies that one Kingdom turned into another one.. not tribal raiding groups merging for military protection, and bringing Christianity in for international political purposes.

"even today the spoken language in Norway can vary quite a lot" - well, "duh".. it is local groups maintaining their local identity..

The article here restates history from the modern view - everyone is in a Country, and that Country has such a language and writing. I stopped reading and wrote this when the discussion of the "dominant Latins" said some clumsy and misrepresentative thing. Latin (and French)_knowledge was not widespread at all.. so how is it "dominant" ? It is because of the international military trade and treaties that came with it.. local people may or may not have a lot to do with that.

Both phone and desktop consumers can install third-party apps on their devices. From this point of view, there is no fundamental difference. Yet, on desktops, people are free to install freely, but on the iPhone, Apple controls all third-party installations.
Isn't that a defining trait of a monopoly position?

"If you don't like it then alternative is your target market is cut by over 50%"

Not a great argument. When you essentially have the say as to whether a company can afford to exist then you have serious control over a "free" market.
> Google doesn't regurgitate the entire published work.

Wrong. Here's Google's cache of an entire paywalled article currently on the front page of HN: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:c-xOMj...

You can get these by clicking the three dots next to any search result, expanding the options in the pop-over, and then clicking "cached."
Collusion is the ugly cousin of monopoly. If you can't get a monopoly, work with your few competitors to set an industry standard fee in which you all make a killing and can claim the plausible deniability of "fair market value".

I was about to ask you to share your list, but that got me wondering: is there any tooling for curating, sharing, and most importantly, consolidating curated lists of sites (based on tags rather than categories), such that the consolidated list is then searchable?
I bound WindowsKey-C to run the command "xsel|xsel -b" which copies the active selection to the clipboard. It's a small step in the right direction; it's possible to get paste working as well, but that takes awareness of apps (or reconfiguring all GUI applications to use the same shortcut as the terminal).
>'s a relatively straightforward and transparent price discrimination scheme, and I have a hard time imagining why this would put Apple at risk of an unfavorable antitrust ruling if the complete lack of any alternate app stores didn't.

Like any discrimination case, it depends on the subject of discrimination and potential victims. So I would say that discriminating with the largest streaming service can be a way to lock out the rest of that market from competing properly.

>Where I imagine Apple could get into trouble is if they systematically turned a blind eye to commission-dodging by specific entities as part of a trade to ensure their market dominance

Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. There's no hard evidence but that's what would be subpoena'd in court.

Ironically enough, Google is the biggest smoke signal here. Since court cases reveal they have some sort of deal with Apple to power search. That deal + potential discrimination with Google submitted apps can lead to those exact issues Google is under fire for.
I think it is - 6E works leaps and bounds better for streaming than previous gen wifi. I am not sure how much of that is down to using 6ghz band and how much of that is down to protocol improvements. The lack of legacy devices crapping up the 6ghz band is probably a big help.

Big improvements to latency for example when streaming VR to a headset.
That's easy enough to address with selling off Hawaii slots.

>Obviously if they tried to charge 85% no one would actually be a developer and the App Store would crater. So they have a very strong incentive not to.

That's not really true. If the iPhone became a real monopoly in the US, for instance, with perhaps 98% marketshare (similar to Windows before Macs started seriously challenging them), then Apple really could charge 85%. What is anyone going to do about it? They'd have a choice of paying 85% to Apple so they can sell apps to 98% smartphone users (basically everyone), or not selling smartphone apps altogether and finding a new business strategy that probably doesn't involve making software for consumers at all (which admittedly, many developers would probably choose).
It's not, and maybe my comment was unclear. My comment was about the Ghost managed hosting service and its competitors. It's just a little strange that Substack is blamed for allowing medical misinformation on a thread praising its competitor, when that competitor also allows medical misinformation.

All I'm saying is that when judging the policies of these companies, we should apply a consistent standard.
You missed the point; Ctrl-C is never going to be "copy" in a terminal, since that shortcut is already in use. Cmd-C can work everywhere, but GUI applications on linux do not default to that.
Borland did keep supporting Pascal in addition to C++ then, no?
They introduced Object Pascal with Turbo Pascal 5.5 IIRC, and later kept extending that with Delphi. As far as I know, their strategy was playing both Pascal and C++ up through the bitter end with Delphi and C++ Builder. I don't know which of them, C++ or Pascal/Delphi, but Delphi was certainly popular enough at its heyday.

Obviously, Object Pascal was a very far cry from the Pascal User Manual and Report, and even at its extended version it was strictly less powerful than C++, so your point still stands. But it was more beginner-friendly. In my opinion, the moment you got beyond the basics (no pun intended), it was friendlier than BASIC or Visual Basic, while far more powerful. That was quite a sweet spot.

Once I felt comfortable with C++, I couldn't go back to Pascal. Even with the extensions, there were some things that were too painful for me like lack of RAII, lack of Generics, short strings by default. Perhaps some of these are addressed by Free Pascal or modern versions of Delphi nowadays, but that ship has sailed. I feel like Pascal with its extensions worked great in the 1980s and 1990s, and I have very fond memories of my time using it, but it just doesn't have much to offer anymore. There are other beginner friendly languages out there that are powerful enough and have better tooling and far larger communities. And it was all about the tooling and community all along.
Even if you're side-loading, you're still using Apple IP.

Every single framework and the OS itself up to the Mach OSS Kernel is Apple IP.

It would be entirely unfeasible to run anything on an iPhone without some Apple IP. You'd be looking at an Asahi Linux for iPhone.
Because the fee is only charged for digital goods yada yada Apple legalese. It's not 30% of every time money moves when an iPhone is involved. Indie devs are still processing credit card payments so I don't think this argument follows.
Is this serious? Like literally one of the things the US navy does is provide protection to ships flying the US flag. That’s literally one of the main things the navy does in peacetime. Remember the Somali pirates? These are ships traveling through international waters being attacked - what other response would make sense?

As for their aims, you can believe it’s about Palestine but that seems more pretextual. Historically the Houthi’s have been extremely anti Saudia Arabia and the normalization talks with Israel pose a substantial threat to them and Iranians (not to mention the US historically is allied with Saudia Arabia). It’s possible that this is just retaliation for all of that but some believe that this is their attempt to draw in the US and UK into another middle eastern war which works further weaken them which is beneficial for the Iranian/Russia/China interests to establish a new world order.
