editorialized title. this reads like "the LTSE is shutting down" whereas its basically LTSE getting out of their cap table business confusingly called "LTSE Equity", presumably following the Carta drama of a few weeks ago. core LTSE business is fine.

it's also noteworthy that their chairman/founder Eric Reis is now also cofounder of Answer.ai, so perhaps his personal focus is shifting a bit? idk, probably reading too much into a chairman's activities vs company focus.

Interesting that they’ve attributed a quote to Phil Schiller!

Rolling out the big guns!

I’m guessing this has significantly rattled Apple’s cage.

> “The changes we’re announcing today comply with the Digital Markets Act’s requirements in the European Union, while helping to protect EU users from the unavoidable increased privacy and security threats this regulation brings. Our priority remains creating the best, most secure possible experience for our users in the EU and around the world,” said Phil Schiller, Apple Fellow.
Re 10 over: As-written and as-lived are quite different. You'd see the governor turned out in the next election if he signed that bill.

Michael Dukakis lost his home state of Massachusetts in the presidential race after he sicced the state police on drivers for exactly this during his campaign.

The law says to stay stopped at a stop sign for 3 seconds, and signal turns 800 feet in advance on the highway too, 600 feet on streets. (According to family who

Next morning Facebook removes its app from Apple Store and directs users to sideload the app, because it needs those sweet permissions that were denied before.

Apps outside official app store may force you to enable permissions it does not really need, refusing to work without it.
Apps in official store should work with the permissions approved by the store. The “should” is enforced by the store.
Probably because they felt the need to draw the line somewhere to prevent hypothetical five year olds from demanding a dangerous cocktail of innoculants from every pharmacy in town, and probably the sense that at 12 you've developed enough for your sense of agency to be respected.

Why does 12 sound arbitrary to you?
While that is the origin of the acronym, it is not indicative of how FAQs are compiled today, especially by corporate support. It's merely a category of document to them.

The first entry in these instructions is how to enable the built-in Linux subsystem in ChromeOS. So, there's their token effort to see people keep it around.

The last entry in the document is a link to their systems which come preloaded with Linux. You see, if someone enjoys toying with Linux on an underpowered/non-certified device, they will love upgrading to a full-fledged machine that can really cope with all they want to do now.

I purchased a Lenovo ThinkPad T580 in 2018 because it was certified for RHEL. They also have a range that's certified for Ubuntu. Despite my device's certification, it came preloaded with Windows 10, but I did run flawless Fedora for several years, before reverting. That Lenovo is still going strong, and one of a pair of "daily drivers". (My other one is a Chromebook! Yes, I run Linux on it, every day!)
That depends... I don't know the situation in the EU, but based on personal experience in the US:

If you are expecting less than $25k in revenue (donations, grants, program service revenue, etc.) in each of your first three years, you can use the IRS's abbreviated process and get setup within a month (for the cost of setting up a corporation with your state government). If that exemption doesn't apply, it can take the IRS over a year to approve your application for tax exempt status. There are also significant compliance costs that can be burdensome for a small organization.

The TLF is a big dog for big dog projects, and I was just using them as an example of the structure. The Apache Foundation has their own flavor of governance, as does Numfocus (which sponsors a bunch of scientific computing projects). I'd expect that this move will probably trigger the creation of some "mobile app developer collective" organizations that specialize in this kind of thing, kind of like a "digital makerspace".
It's odd. I've lived pretty much all over the US over the past 50+ years and I've never had such a problem.

Please do share where you lived where your public servants are so crappy so I know never to go there. Thanks!

Ask HN: How do busy founders deal with disorganisation in the world?
As a solo founder and consultant i constantly deal with banks, insurance companies, shipping companies, and lots of other partners/suppliers/infrastructure out there in the world that is disorganized and pushes work on my back. For example banks. I do a wire and they charge $25 and then block it and waste 15 minutes of my time on the phone. This happens many times in my typical week and if you think about it the cost is enormous. How do busy people deal with this? Do they hire a part time assistant? How can they do bank stuff that requires verification? How can you trust them with your stuff? When do you know it is time to hire help?
Apple is including money developers make that they don't get a cut of.

For example, Spotify makes money from people streaming music to iOS devices, but they do not allow you to upgrade from a free account to a Premium account through their iOS app.

Since Spotify handles subscription purchases outside of their iOS app and their app is free, they pay nothing to Apple under the current system.
It's all doom bullshit from Apple Fanboys.

It seems more likely to me that ARIN is following the text of published policy, but Capital One found a way to interpret it that violates its spirit. My guess is that they're treating each customer debit/credit card as a serving site that qualifies for a /48. To address this, ARIN should fix the policy, not raise fees.

I have 5+yrs of history and WhatsApp takes 3-5 min to update if I have several chats on the phone while the app was closed.

For the web as well.

Both the web client and Mac clients freeze or get really slow if people send reactions to messages, it messes up the sync and any messages that I write won't be sent until all reactions are synced.

It is not a machine problem. It's how WhatsApp works nowadays.
Always exciting to see abandoned OSS projects get new life breathed into them. One of the biggest issues around React Native's ecosystem is how quickly some libs get abandoned. Props to you all for reviving this.
Property-based and fuzz testing can generate a lot of inputs. You may have to run them overnight or longer sometimes though.

And if you pair property-based testing with model-based testing you can detect a lot of errors that manual testing will likely never discover, just due to time.

Why is it "user choice" when someone rants against using a certain store or streaming service, but "bullying" when a developer chooses to host their apps somewhere other than [majority mindshare holder]?

It goes both ways. Someone can choose to host an app I value outside of the App store, and I can choose to ignore it. The app may get along fine enough without me, or it will relent and come back. That's just business. And if it's hosted on an alternative store because Apple kicked it off the App Store, that's on Apple.
> I'm asking for a much more restrictive bootloader that would have to be buildable with a repeatable process so that someone else can create the same one down to the bit level.

Reproducible builds are fantastic. But I doubt that, in this instance, it would be a valid way around the GPL.

Maybe if one, as an art project, made a project that, when compiled, had a particularly aesthetically pleasing binary representation, it would be okay. But we’re talking specifically about a signature needed to run the software, which appears to fit the definition of “Installation Information” in section 6 of the GPLv3.

All of what you're saying is true of modern Windows; apologies, but I last used Windows in the 98/ME/2000/XP era, and my arguments are based in that era.

Despite things having changed, though, I think "Windows in the before-times" is still a viable precedent to cite in its own right, for Apple's current behavior. IP case-law hasn't changed too much between then and now.

For example: when developing for Windows 98, you needed to ship DirectX, because otherwise there would be no pre-installed version of DirectX — and the average user's internet connection wasn't fast enough to download it in any reasonable amount of time!

And uCRT + WinSxS preloads both exist now, but obviously, neither did before Windows Vista. Before then, you couldn't predict if any MSVCRT was gonna be available, so if you were trying to publish e.g. Apache Server But Running In a Windows Tray Icon With A Little Management Context Menu (a common thing back then, for some reason), then you needed to package the particular MSVCRT your app was compiled with. Which is why you never saw FOSS binary releases for Windows back then; instead, there was the FOSS project, with compilation instructions that involved downloading the right MSVCRT yourself; and then there were random third-party downstream "freeware" releases published on CNet or whatever.

> and no, they're not protected IP (or at least Microsoft never made the claim to the contrary)

They haven't, because there's nothing to gain from them doing so, because they aren't trying to run an ecosystem that has a per-install fee, unlike Oracle ca 2010, Unity last year, or Apple right now. (And they never will, because they're all-in on service fees (Azure) instead.) Without that incentive, Microsoft has every reason to listen to the competing incentive — that of making Windows a platform that's friendly and open to developers, that doesn't force them through this kind of bullshit.

But if, in some hypothetical world, Microsoft were to be charging developers per app install... then Microsoft would likely tell MinGW to stop redistributing "their" headers, so as to force more developers onto the SDK and through that into being install-monitored. And they would have every right (according to current IP case-law) to do so.

They wouldn't have a mandate to do so, mind you — source files, including headers, are copyrighted, not trademarked, so they don't need to enforce their IP rights to keep them. They could simply choose to enforce their copyright against only the most egregious violators: those who are clearly making millions of dollars off the use of their platform, without paying them a dime. As Apple is trying to do now!
> …except if they value a device that enforces audited software only, because they find it safe and convenient.

What is the legitimate reason for tying this to hardware? If you only want to use audited software, then don't install software from outside the official app store. I agree that the iOS App Store is a great service, I just object to it being the only option.

Apple locks up the supply chains for the best screens, the best cameras, the most advanced chip fabrication processes, etc etc. Then practically all of the consumers with enough disposable income to care about those things buys iPhones, and Apple turns around and says "clearly, these people buy our hardware because they like being locked into the App Store!" I don't buy it.

I often wish I could have glasses or a windshield that automatically dimmed just the headlights of an oncoming car.

Admittedly, I see some distractions in this XREAL Air 2 AR concept (like floating dice in I assume Las Vegas) but even after watching the video not clear what it is exactly (does it fit in front of prescription glasses, does everybody has to have one, is it incorporated into the windshield some how) nor why I would trust it to point out pot holes for me.

Microwave plus touch screens plus greasy reheated Chinese food and popcorn does seem like a poor mix. Expensive, wifi connected, small. I would love to see some innovation in this space and seems like a ninja mini oven air fryer and Panasonic microwave are still top of the innovation line.
The current commission rates are 15% or 30%, with the latter applying to sales greater than $1M in revenue. I believe those rates are reducing to 10 and 17% respectively.

If the arduousness of setting up a store, and complying with all the various components of that is a stick, this is the carrot - we'll charge you less for keeping in the App Store.
Thankfully the EU regulators have decided otherwise.
"Ecosystem" is the weasel word that gives Apple a ton of wiggle room in that statement. I don't think they are just counting direct payments to Apple.
A WordPress plugin implementation would go a long way to this really taking off. Most artists I follow are all using WordPress already for ecommerce and news.

get your api key from google https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey

in a gsheet, click "extensions" then "app script"

copy + paste the code here into code . gs

hit 'run' and give permissions

viola! you can now use =BARD(prompt) in gsheets!

That’s why I keep choosing Apple.

same as anyone else. this is a lousy and boring subject for discussion.
Regardless of these changes or the pricing, I expect there will be very very few third party app stores created.

For a simple reason: Most iOS users don't want it and won't use them. If your app isn't available in the main store, the vast majority of users simply won't install it.

The exceptions would be perhaps extremely popular games like FortNite / Epic.
Unity wanted to change their existing pricing structures in place.

The Apple change isn’t really comparable (not saying it’s good or bad) because Apple are introducing a new pricing structure.

Most genuine critics of Unity’s proposed changes were fine if it wasn’t replacing what existed.
If you read the website about the DMA they are talking about business independence, user control, transparency, access and interoperability. There is no mention of fees - so a reasonable fee doesn’t look like it would cause issues.

Yes, such a relatively low additional cost missed opportunity, if you think about it.
Oh… my bad. Didn’t know that was a term. Sorry
It's an interesting idea, but that ends up being a tech support nightmare for Apple. Some website or random friend says "Download this App - you just have to switch into non-Apple mode" and your non-tech-savvy friend doesn't have the experience to consider this suspect. Apple has to deal with that rather than the website or the friend.
EU laws do come with a lot of written intent besides the actual articles.

If you read any EU directive (like the DMA) it'll start with a bunch of recitals that explain the intent and background of the law. Sometimes these are longer than the actual articles.

As far as I, as a layman understand, the legal practice is that these recitals can not contradict the main text but that they are intensively used by courts and to politicians to resolve open questions where the formal law is appropriately unspecific.

So yeah you can read the intent of the law.

Consider introducing her to the concept of an iPod. Music that works offline without a subscription and doesn't ebb away at your cellphone battery? Well, that's honestly pretty cool—to the point that it now sounds strangely futuristic and forward-thinking. We didn't know how good we had it.

Doesn't have to be a literal iPod, and if it is, maybe modding one would be cool to use better formats, and might get her friends interested in the concept. A lot of the generation coming up are interested in CDs, tape and vinyl too.

> Drivers have a countrywide pedestrian-free transportation network (the interstate highway system) but there is practically no place at all in the US that you can walk or especially bike for transportation without frequent potential conflict with cars.

This is a great observation, and it immediately suggests a vision: An interstate pedestrian path system, and an interstate bicycle network.

The Park Service is already imagining these things, but many of the "trails" are just marked sections of automobile-road. They don't have the resources to go further, but we should go further.

Define minimum standards. The most important is physical separation from vehicle traffic. Mere paint or bollards is insufficient. Ideally some limited infrastructure like occasional benches and water fountains. Fire Robert Moses and put Charles Olmstead in charge.

The funny thing is, when you create nice environments, people want to be in them. A market is created. All of a sudden, cyclists are passing through. I can run a little cafe that caters to them. Commerce happens. Yes, much of it's leisure-oriented, but that's still GDP.
