I don't know why people are so negative in the comments or overthinking what the author wanted to say, when it's pretty clear. Running the company is what made him tick, made him feel alive, and ultimately made him happy. He's cashed out, but sitting around thumb twiddling and maintaining the pile of cash might be an ok life, might make some people happy, but it's not making him happy. There's nothing wrong with any of that. The advice you can get from that is, figure out what it is that makes you enjoy life. If it's feeling secure because you have a pile of cash, then you will do the same as him, but be satisfied with the decision.

Sorry but I can't find much sympathy for anything Amazon related when comparing with Apple. In my book they're both predatory.

> Trust like in Switzerland is a very rare thing in most countries

I’m in an Eastern European country and have the same machines in some supermarkets, no scales, no gates just scan the stuff and go.

That would’ve been unimaginable 15-30 years ago. Theft and violent crime rates were sky high. Having your home broken into or even getting mugged in broad daylight wasn’t that special (these days you have a high chance of getting a story in a national newspaper at least if you get mugged).

Of course it’s far from perfect and there are other issues that need to be solved. However under the right circumstances significant change is possible even during relatively short timeframes.
Rockstar Games' owner is fighting Remedy Entertainment over its new 'R' logo
Having a robot to solve that problem seems like overengineering - there are integrated washing-machine/dryer combos in one appliance, bit less efficient then separate devices, but solves the problem of transferring the clothes.
Oh no, those devs would have certainly passed the difference on to the consumer.

> This is why clothing doesn't qualify for copyright. No matter how original you think your clothing seems, someone in the last many thousands of years of fashion has done it before.

Most every fashion company has a legal team that reviews print and pattern, as well as certain other aspects of design, relative to any source of inspiration. My husband works in the industry and has to send everything he does for review in this way. I’m not sure where you got the idea that there are no IP protections for fashion, but this is untrue.
The review process is only there to give Apple a fig-leaf to remove apps at will without recourse.

> When a little child draws a tree for the first time, where do they draw inspiration? Do you think they were reviewing works of Picasso?

Are we going to discount the hundreds to thousands of artistic pictures children are exposed to? Or how about the teacher sitting up front demonstrating to the class how to draw a tree?

> Do you not have eyes, ears, do you not perceive and get inspiration from the natural world around you?

Learning to see as an artist is a distinct skill. Being able to take the super compressed simplified world view that mind sees and put something recognizable on paper is a specialized skill that has to be developed. That skill is developed by doing it over and over again, often by copying the style of an artist that someone enjoys.

Or to put it another way, go to any period in history prior to the mid 20th century and art in a given region starts to share the same style, dramatically so, because people were inspired by each other, almost to a comical extent. (Financial reasons also had something to do with it as well of course, Artists paint/carve/engrave/etc what sells!)
I don't judge people's policies and actions based on what they say about them. I judge based on the policies and actions themselves.

Apple is demonstrably more closed (which IMO makes them worse) than Google on this axis. What they've both said about their platforms is irrelevant to me.
"Maybe if I'm nice to her, she'll touch it." —Bill Burr
That sounds a lot like price fixing and the same thing that Amazon is being grilled on with FBA
Amazon customers are still available on other platforms. They use credit cards and they can put their details into any site, and I imagine most of them frequently do. Their shipping address is also accepted by every company.

iPhone users don't carry a second Android phone, and their purchasing decision has committed them to only buying on the App Store for at least a few years at a time. And the crazy part is they are paying the Apple Tax even for services like Spotify that they might primarily consume on other devices. You can't make a store that ships to Apple users - only Apple can.
> We buy produce from the cheaper Aldi instead

Funnily enough, in the UK, Aldi produce is generally very fresh and still cheap. There's plenty of turnover, precisely because people shop at Aldi so much.
Why is it more or less dystopian than using non-cloned monkeys for research? Genuine question.
> If you buy an iphone there is no one to compete

This. The problem is not the 30%, the problem is that iPhones do not have an option to buy apps from, lets say a Amazon Store or Epic Store.

Don't forget the 2 million in taxes.
Because the Audible unit at Amazon set their own policy on this, and decided it was better for them and their users to pay Apple's 30% cut.

No idea why the price through the app was better than the price on the website. Maybe some kind of promotion? Weird.
But yet analog AI chips use a fraction of the juice and are more brain-like with the potential to use voltages instead of binary values ala chemical gradients.

Could you tell us more about the inspiration behind creating 'Safe Scanner'?
I already do. The insurance industry invented the concept of independent safety testing and continues to play a crucial role in researching, developing and implementing safety standards in many industries, most notably automotive and maritime. Government regulations are often a battleground between many parties with competing interests, but the insurance industry has an clear commercial interest in minimising harms.
> a lens is a Fourier transformer. Of a sort.

Can you expand on that? Or have some reading for that?

I guess it makes sense, light is a wave and anything even vaguely to do with waves seems to end up with Fourier transforms, but still I'm curious about the details
"They are not your friend, they do not care about you"

I beg to differ. As a blind user relying on accessibility, Apple was actually the first company that decided that accessibility should be an inherent part of the OS, not just an expensive add-on. Since the iPhone, blind users can just buy the product and turn speech output on, without having to install expensive extra software as was the case with Windows, for instance.

So keep your generic accusations for yourself, they are far from correct.
Microwave receiving antenna arrays aren't solid like solar panels on earth - they would essentially be a big grid of wire loops suspended above ground over maybe a square kilometre or so. While you probably wouldn't want to live underneath this, plants would grow and animals would not be harmed wandering in and out underneath it.

So the benefit would be that substantially larger surface areas of renewables could be deployed with fewer maintenance concerns (i.e. thin antennas don't really care about dust, and present little cross section to being struck by debris).
but that might not happen because of how onerous the rules are for non-IAP. it's an awful user experience, 1) the link isn't where you normally buy, 2) you are warned about leaving, 3) you get switched to a different app, 4) you then got to log in, 5) you got to find what you wanted to buy because no such information was carried, and 6) you got to fill out your card and billing information. Unless you are buying something very expensive, it simply won't be worth it. Especially for subscriptions.
>what made you decide to buy a Mac

Well I am focusing in the commerical distribution aspect here, not the training aspect. Furthermore, for the case of image generators one could easily imagine that Midjourney could use only publicly and legally viewable/accessible artworks. That would certainly be sufficient to have attain capabilities it currently has, as most artworks are publicly available. The point is to find a way to deploy genAI which is just as powerful and is copyright-okay, at least from the commercial distribution side.

As a side note, I personally believe that if you publish something for everyone to see and interact with, your consent to what I do with it is morally not so important. There are certain things I could do which would make me mean or disrespectful to you, like to make a parody of your work, but none of them go so far in being immoral that you should have any legal power to stop me from doing them.
Why would they? Most iPhone users still won't install third-party stores, so, in practice, if you want to exist, you need to sell through the App Store.

Google allows third-party stores and side-loading, but they're still able to charge a 30% cut on the Play Store.

I personally make use of third-party stores and side-loading on Android, but I don't personally know anyone else who does.

Well, there's a spectrum of different things. One is THC inducing actual schizophrenia. Less than that is a schizo affective episode. And less than that is something I've been increasingly suspecting is taking place as dispensaries move to THC only strains and breed out the CBD of just broadly disassociative thinking. I've noticed an increase in some wild conspiratorial thinking among people I know that regularly use THC sans CBD which isn't a full blown psychotic episode, but is distinctly unsettling.

So yes, I agree that I was fortunate. But like with most things, it's a nuanced gradient and not an absolute dichotomy.
> Or because those two companies created those platforms. I don't see why they owe it to other companies to lower their prices.

It's up to us to make them give us better tools for us. This isn't a natural thing that just happens. I don't give a damn which company succeeds in the end so long as the consumer is fairly represented.
The idea is nice, the problem is that the route the app uses (it uses for example a highway) isn't the one the bus would use.
Glass has an index of refraction that depends on wavelength; this is how a prism works. This is also why chromatic aberration exists at all.
I was surprised how bad these machines were in the UK and the US. It’s possible to implement the idea better. A big source of friction seems to be the (IMO) unreasonable focus on theft prevention, and the second is that stuff in the store isn’t labeled properly.

Somehow, the self checkouts in Switzerland are mostly free of both problems. I’m guessing they’re more willing to take the theft risk, to increase throughput.

My point is that giving up on this technology seems rash, when it could be tweaked to work well with a software update and a policy adjustment.
> No legal precedent supports the idea that the Android or iOS app stores are monopolies under US law.

I probably shouldn't have used the term. It's still a very negative sign about our future that's worth fighting.

Why do you need substantially more than 80k to live if your house is paid down in cash? Earning 200k is usually about spending half of your net income on mortgages etc.

Not that 80k is the lifestyle of a king, but it is plenty to get by with if all you are buying is insurance, food and entertainment.

Perhaps I am not updated with the times but last I checked combo machines have no proper lint filters and are a lot more messy in terms of end result dust/fibers.
This was fun to see playing out, it made me realize how I didn't even think about how impressive it was that you guys (being a small team) were pushing out updates with very few bugs or visible downtime.

I didn't mind the downtime, just gave me an excuse to take a break and focus on more casual coding.
Bad for environment. No friends around. Pluses and minuses so it’s not obvious.
This is a personal question related to taste. An impossible question for strangers to answer.
It's easily into the 'diminishing returns' category in terms of lifestyle.

You can buy a lovely house, support a family, 80k is still a full salary for most people and will certainly support 'standard day-to-day' living, and if you want a little more money for your holiday in the Caribbean you can always take on some cushy exec/advisory work a couple of days a week.
In my house my wife and I have a saying: "Trade benefits both parties by definition."

We say it often as a kind of ward against evil. The zero sum thinking that leads one to feel they're getting gypped in a given deal is almost never actually the case in a free market society. You always have the option to, if a deal provides no value to you, simply leave it on the table and move on with your life.

However, I always mentally add an important word to the beginning: Voluntary trade benefits both parties by definition. Who decides what is considered voluntary? If this market square is the only one in town I can sell in without being beaten up, is selling there voluntary? What if it's just the case that no one wants to go to my random grocery stall in the woods?

I've come to conclude that's ultimately an ethical question, not an economic one. Hence the eternal bickering. So from a certain point of view, I could see why my handy ward against evil could just be seen as another way the capitalistic regime imposes its will. One of the fun things about the internet is all the edge cases it creates along this very boundary.
Oh nvm.
Nynorsk isn't so bad once you get used to Bokmål. When I come across it in writing, it just seems like everything is spelled wrong. (am an immigrant as well)

You just have to frame it accordingly. If you go to a VC and boast about an exit of hundreds of thousands as if it's be a success to the., that may give a VC pause, because it's be a failure to them. Failure doesn't bother VCs so much as failure to understand that an exit that size isn't what success looks like to them. It's fine to say it was success to you at that point.

But if that is what you want this time too, a VC is wrong for you. If you want a VC investment, you need them to understand you want a big exit this time.

I used to work at a VC, and one of the most frequent reasons we didn't take pitches forward was founders who presented a great pitch that fit what you described.

We rejected them because while it'd be entirely rational for them to want to take an exit that'd make them happy, those goals are fundamentally incompatible with a VC funds risk profile.

Consider that most VC funds invest in high risk startups, and so most of their investments fail. For that reason you need a portion of the survivors to give massive returns. Then it's irrational to cap your potential upside return from the companies that become successful enough to have a shot at providing those returns.

This isn't just greed, but survival: most VCs fail to raise a second fund because they either fail to even return the capital or return too low returns to be worth it. You set yourself up for failure if you put your money in a high risk startups where the founder promises you that your best possible return will be, say, 5x.

And so if you as a founder want "well defined, limited", VC capital isn't for you, and that's fine. There are other investors.
I think 30% commissions for Apple are fair if the customer found the app through the app store. If they clicked a deep link that took them to the app directly, the commission should be much lower like 10%. And in categories where Apple has competing digital services it should always be 3% to not be anti-competitive.
Can you ever forgive us?
A person can use Google for 5 minutes to realize that a company does not launch 5000 satellites (surpassing all other launcher companies on Earth combined by mass launched in the process) as part of some kinda US research subsidy.

The "official" way of pronouncing numbers was indeed changed for that reason (NB: That was back when there were still phone central operators and you were supposed to tell them the number)
However - the "old" way ("two and forty") is alive and well, very much so by the oldest generation of course, but among much younger people too. Most people alive use both ways - for some stuff it's simply more natural or easier to say "fem-og-tredve" than "tretti-fem".
Why do you want to be anywhere near major city if you are retired?
>I mean how do you even use the numbers? Who looks at code and says "no, this should be exactly 8 lines below this one." I just Alt + Down until it's right. I'd spend more time trying to write the command right than I'd spend just pressing the keys multiple times.

With relative line numbers it's really easy actually. Typing dd7jp takes less effort than pressing alt + down multiple times and I have hard time believing you'd be make this argument if you were comfortable with modal editing.

In fact, none of the alternatives you listed seem attractive if you're accustomed to modal editing. How is Home, Shift + End, Delete a good alternative to dd? So much movement to do a simple operation.

I would highly recommend you giving it an honest try and if it doesn't work, you can always go back to editing the traditional way but once it clicks, "the old" way feels super awkward.

This same Mafia does everything they can to make sure that web/Safari experience is as poor of an experience as possible so that users prefer native apps delivered through the app store.

Can you expand on this? I prefer to use the web when I can, and every time I've begrudgingly downloaded an app, it's the service itself that was actively pushing me away from their poor/hamstrung web client. I'm still left with the impression that users are staying there and developers jump through the hoops because it's just that good. That doesn't mean it's right, but - that's Capitalism, baby!

Also, the MS of yore would have absolutely done that if they thought they could get away with it, and definitely engaged in more than their fair share of unsavory tactics.
The A770 seems like a solid midrange card, about on par with 4060 Ti and 6700 XT. Even not that far from 4070 in some newer games Intel’s drivers are better optimized for. You also get 16 GB of memory.

Of course considering it’s Intel the power usage is way too high. Also AFAIK compatibility with pre DX11 games is poor and its not even clear Intel is eve making any money on it..
