I was wondering the same thing.

They would have some writes indirectly due to searches, say if someone chooses to block a search result. They’re also going to have some history and analytics surely.

But yeah it’s not obvious what should cause per search write lock contention…
I agree that it's an oddly-applied pricing system, but it's not unique. Apple's differential pricing functions similarly to student and senior discounts—it's an acknowledgment that some customers are harder to get than others and it's worth it to the company to meet those customers where they are.

Some apps don't make any money at all, and Apple wants to let those exist and so they get a free pass. For others, Apple is only providing a tiny portion of the value of the app, most of it comes from the content that the app licenses from other companies. Apple recognizes that they can't take 30% from those apps without them giving up on an app entirely, so they get a discount in order for them to stay on the platform.

Is it fair? Probably not. But I see no reason to believe it's illegal.
Personally I just wish the self checkout voice at CVS didn't sound so aggressive when telling me to put the item in the bagging area. I'm on it lady, no need to be so pushy. It makes me uncomfortable lol.
Thanks and wow, they’re really doing everything imaginable to make it difficult to include such a link. And their rules say the link cannot contain any additional parameters so it rules out the possibility of just linking directly to a payment form. You would have to log in first, then pay.
Nobody wants to fight. Like the op said, it's the presupposition that "ofc they're sociopaths, of course they want pain, death, and suffering"

You dont have the monopoly on abhorring human suffering. It's been decided US policy since Bush to deter rather than defeat US enemies and as much as you hem and haw about the word enemy, they do consider themselves enemies of the US.
You must be aware of a different Seoul then I am. I've looked at moving there and asked my Korean friends. "Fully furnished, two-bed room apartments in central, well-connected areas of Seoul are <$1000 per month" does not jibe with anything I have seen, ever. Please send me the property link because I'm obviously looking in the wrong place.
Much easier for the UAE to do this as they have no income taxes; and also they are used to having a large foreign population on their soil (and normalized with that situation). Most other countries are not ready for that.
The majority of gamers are comfortable with not owning their games. According to a quick internet search "72% of console games sold in 2022 were digital". But, the actual article here (if you click through to the source) is about Ubisoft announcing a new subscription service (Ubisoft+), so it seems to me that this Ubisoft Exec accidentally deployed the wrong talking point (one stuck in his brain from 2013 or so). (Unfortunately for Ubisoft, he's "director of subscriptions".)
> It's not a monopoly.

Do you think that the King.com and the other large companies that make all of their money by selling coins for pay to win games are going to join the boycott?

It came out in the Epic trial that’s where 90% of the revenue comes from. It’s not from small indy developers

>Its like a toll road arguing "no, driving on the road is free of course, we just charge at the entrance and exit for the privilege of looking at the toll road".

I mean, there's actually many toll roads/bridges that only charge for travel in one direction. The other is free, with the expectation that you'll need to make a return trip anyways.
I did a lot of spam-fighting in the early 2000s, which tapered off after 2012 and came largely to a stop by 2016. This was aided by a large number of domain names I had, which all had MX records pointing to my eMail server, which was configured with a catch-all account. This allowed absolutely enormous amounts of spam to be collected into that single catch-all account, as anything sent to any username under any domain I had ended up in that inbox.

I recall SpamCop calling me out on no less than six separate occasions as the primary reason why they lifted their daily reporting limits for any single account (in steps) from 100/day to 20,000/day over about 8 years. For at least one six month period I was the most frequent submitter of spam to their reporting service, and I was well within the top ten for quite a few years. Most of my submitting past a major 500/day benchmark (I was getting desperate for a way to automate things by then) was done via MailWasher’s ability to flag-and-autosubmit.

Fun times.

I still make use of an ancient pre-subscription version of Mailwasher that’s been kitbashed with a TLS 1.2 binary so it will still work (I should really update it with a v1.3 soon), but I no longer receive more than 50-100 pieces of spam per month into that catch-all anymore. Methinks they’ve cottoned on.
I lost a good friend to the Andrew Tate culture. Said friend loves Trump, thinks Alex Jones is interesting, etc. etc.

Not really sure what you can do. Some random guy (Andrew Tate) starts making online content and some people (my friend) just get sucked into it. How do you get them back out?
In a similar vein I got really hooked in school on Lychrel numbers => take a number x and reverse its digits to form y. Add x and y, repeat. Eventually this process leads to numbers that are palindromic (they are the same if you reverse their digits). Except some numbers like 196 do not seem to ever form a palindrome. No one knows if this is true or if the palindrome is so big that computers have yet to find it.

I think the problem is that US "Defense" seems to involve a lot of foreign wars and "police actions" in countries that pose no conceivable threat to the USA.

The thing we all dread is AI-driven drones carrying out extra-judicial killings to promote US commercial interests in other countries. So far there seems to be nothing preventing this except the unwillingness of AI companies to co-operate with the "defense" industry. That apparently is no longer the case.
Of course and that's exactly the point. Other visa types require things like employment in SK or being Korean, things nomad visa is supposed to avoid
It's much worse than that, they're actively enabling all of this.
As someone who tried to find a suitable sub-$1000 rent in Seoul, I call your claim. Maybe you can provide online listings to counter?
Ah, I see. In that case, I suppose no one really cares where it goes. S Korea's loss, in my opinion. They're the ones whose population will shrink by half every half-century from now.
Until you hit $1million in revenue, it’s 15%. And it’s 15% on all the money you collect. Because these are digital services and not physical products, Apple takes their cut. You will need to factor that into your business model.

It doesn’t matter how you distribute the money on your end. While you can definitely reflect the exact amounts involved to your customers, it might be wise to convert incoming money to something else, perhaps simply “credits.”
This is up there with "you guys don't have phones?"
For the same reason we act like there's such a thing as a "Right to bear arms" or a "common-law right to joint ownership of property with your spouse."

The law is arbitrary and highly path-dependent. But in the absence of the law, there's no "market" period, not as a government-protected legal construct. Without the law, Apple could just tell Epic to pound sand because they have the right-of-might to rotate encryption keys, release future versions of the iPhone that scan for Epic software using hardware-based solutions and brick the phone if they're detected, and drop OS updates that retroactively delete Epic games from user phones if they wanted.

I'm glad for the law that prevents that, even if it's the same framework that makes me act like there's a "mobile game market."
Yeah, cool that's a nice idea. I was thinking of the advantage of this not having to use shift, glad you picked up on that! :) Very astute. I like Karabiner, very useful. I've used it before to unify key bindings as much as possible across windows parallels and macos.
From the README:

> Vim itself already has support for something similar in its optional mswin.vim config file. However it still assumes the necessity of Normal Mode and such heritage as SHIFT+INSERT-style combinations. This plugin however, attempts to avoid Normal Mode unless absolutely necessary, say for interacting with the NERDTree buffer, wherein Insert Mode has no purpose.

The other phones cos need to build up better reputations. It’s a slow process I think. No carrier mobile service manager. No bloatware especially hard to uninstall bloat like Facebook on Samsung devices. Better spam control - iMessage blue bubbles have low spam and good spam reporting. Easy subscription cancellations.

The term "relevant" might be an understatement here.
The first issue is your second code is not Java (no await/async literal for Java yet)

The second issue is they're not completely equivalent. In the second case, you'd need extra memory for the `reentrantLock`, while `synchronized` works with any object. Furthermore, if you need to use `wait/notify`, then there need to be an extra `Condition` object to use in combination with the `ReentrantLock`. For sure, developers can rewrite most `synchronized` to use `ReentrantLock` and `Condition`, but javac won't do it automatically for you.

I don't buy the argument that the models are not sufficiently transformative. Nobody would look at a weight table and confuse it for the original work, and it is different in basically every way.

If there is a case to be made, I think it has to be around the original use of the works, the transcription process. Not the weights, or the output

I think that's how BeMail worked. Contact files were "empty", but had the contact info in the extended attributes, and how Text Edit(?) had Rich Text in the extended attributes.
I think this proves that humans can be beneficial to their environment.
Much of what we think of as wild jungle actually isn't. The trees that grow in a jungle have faced selective pressure from animals and humans for thousands of years.
Humans are just better at it, because we garden.
In the case where humans were selecting, and planting trees that produced an edible fruit or nuts . (that also benefitted other animals) it changed the ecology of the forest.
> No, it is not about setting a price. It is about setting a (reasonable) cap on a margin on your own price. That's an entirely different thing.

Okay, so what if Apple decided a reasonable price for doing business with them was between 12% and 30% of the price you set per unit, and that you can take it or go into a different business writing software for other platforms instead, for which a non-exhaustive list in 2024 includes the following: Windows, Android, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, Linux, servers, the Web, embedded systems, supercomputers, mainframes (no really), webOS televisions, and custom systems? Pretty soon, depending on how this DMA stuff shakes out and how Apple ends up complying, you might even be able to develop for iPhones on less onerous terms, but only in the EU, so add EU iPhones to the list above as a “maybe” after March 7th.

Some people might take that deal, and others might choose to do their work somewhere working on something else. How do you plan to deal with the businesses that are just going to take the deal? Like they have been, every single time they’ve voluntarily signed the developer agreement without a gun to their heads and invested more money into building on Apple’s platforms?
Staying a year often makes your tax resident which is exactly the kind of headache nomads moving around are trying to avoid.

For example if you own any stocks and become tax resident, then leave and break tax residency, you may often owe an "exit tax" on your unrealized stock gains.

Even stocks in your retirement accounts like IRA may not be treated as tax advantaged by another country.

Hahah! :) I beg to differ but, I get your point -- it's a big change! :)
The natural end state of our trajectory is an Elysium-like class system where a tiny few have everything, physically separated/secured from the remaining billions who have nothing. And rest assured: The billionaire class is actively working to bring about this end state. I'm sure as far as they are concerned, that end state is fully sustainable if they have effective-enough physical security and control/coercion of the population.
> the average state and local tax burden for median incomes in Texas is significantly higher (12.73%) than in California (8.97%)

> The only people for whom Texas is a better deal for taxation are in the highest income brackets, higher even than tech workers at Apple.

I pay 4-5% of my individual income in local property taxes of all types, and we pay less than 4% of our household income. And that's after recent large increases in our property value. We live in the city limits of Austin, one of the more taxed places in TX. We bought outside of downtown, but actually nearer most tech companies than downtown. Our neighborhood is perfectly safe, paying less didn't affect that. If you're in TX paying 12% of your income in taxes you probably either have a low income and inherited more house than you could otherwise afford or you made a foolish decision on where to live(had to be in that trendy part of town).

Most digital nomads I know (including myself) do not go back to the same country at the end of their 30-90 days though. They hop to another country or do a stop at home for a while to do anything they may need to at home before heading somewhere else.

I regularly stay somewhere for 90ish days, then go home for a while to do anything I need to back home days and then somewhere else.

This is also why a digital nomad visa for a year or more doesn't make much sense. I know very few true digital nomads who even have a desire to stay the same place for more than a few months. At that point you're not a digital nomad anymore.

it's trivial to state that food standards and water quality have increased in quality.

taste is subjective, but those two things can be well judged against historical anecdote.

You've already skipped over the most important aspect of determining if someone is a monopoly, which is defining the relevant market. A key piece of the Epic v. Apple case was determining the relevant market, where "phones" was never even considered as a possibility.

I've read most of the comments here, and don't recall anything negative, just supportive.
If a nation needs to defend itself then it's already lost, because that means it was weak enough that someone else thought they could win by attacking it. Sun Tzu said a supreme nation would subjugate its enemies without needing to fight them.
What are you imagining in this situation? How would one use IK with a running animation?

You could remove the root motion of the animation and control the position of runner in code. This would allow controlling the position/speed easily but to look natural you still have to tweak the animation speed dynamically. Just changing the foot position via IK would not be enough to make the animation look natural. So feels like you are still left with the original problem of tweaking the animation speed.
I don't think so, but I see how it could be like that -- what fonts are you using? It's possible less ambiguity on the angles, sure, but then again some weird fonts could have 'c' looking like '<' haha! :)

Context is probably a good disambiguator, even in a flash glance :)
A fair point. However, unless they are the kind of libertarian that believes in no tax, the government is still going to tax something. And in doing so will decide who is taxed and who isn't. Taxing fundamentally must answer the question of what is fair to tax.

I believe the reason that income is taxed is mainly because it's much easier than wealth for governments to determine and is generally more liquid.

I guess my issue with inheritance is less economic and more moral. It just doesn't seem to fit with modern values yet is untouched as a debate topic. I'm curious as to why that could be.
It's obviously not 30%, because on top of this you better pay for ads on your app name or have your competitor show up on searches for your app.

I always had a mild smile for the tales of the "secure refined Apple store" but seeing the reality has been a bigger shock than I expected. It's a scam haven.
The USA has a larger military than the next 5 nations combined.

The USA is not under threat from anyone. This would still be true if the US military was a tiny fraction of its current size.

The USA does, however, use its vast military to attack other countries without provocation, seemingly to protect commercial interests.

I don't think it's "childish" to be suspicious of the US Military. I worry about the mentality in the USA that everyone needs to protect themselves all the time with firearms. I don't understand why everyone seems to be scared that someone else is going to do bad things to them if they're not armed to the teeth. I suspect this is projection.
Who says we can have only one or the other?

macOS has both an app store and sideloading. It works great!

I personally use the app store for apps I don’t know/trust the developer of, because I trust Apple’s diligent vetting regarding data collection etc., and I sideload everything that I do trust, or that Apple “wants to protect me from” for non-security/privacy reasons.

I admittedly responded without reading the source, so please accept my apologies.

Despite how it is worded the total dispersion of Fluorite is less than glass.

That quote is referring to the ‘extraordinary partial dispersion’ property. They are using this to better correct the aberration than could be done with two pieces of glass alone. This seems to be illustrated in the diagrams well.

Some further stuff to read up on is the Abbe number that describes the refractive index vs wavelength derived from a set of light sources.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbe_number

The higher the Abbe number the lower the dispersion of a material.

Fluorite is ~95
