This doesn't really work because the big firms that consumers boycott have political leverage and magically become too big to fail. It also presupposes that unregulated capitalism is the best kind of market. But "unregulated marke

That's not right. The more a term is in the market, the more difficult it is to get a trademark approved. The difficulty comes from the obligation to protect a trademark - if you have trademark rights to a term and don't take reas

There's a huge survivorship bias in the overall conversation about old things being better than new things. The poorly made houses from 100 years ago just aren't there anymore. The junk clothing from 50 years ago was thrown out.

I saw God's Debris by Scott Adams and now seriously doubt the quality of this list. Not helped by seeing the review of Der Kreativitäts-Code as being "Here’s a book I plan on reading". Disappointed by this list

It's really not suddenly. They keep making the same mistakes. This is the second or third time the app has changed and they've got it wrong. I have to use two apps to control my Sonos equipment because one of my old units is too o

The AMULET Project was an asynchronous version of ARM microprocessors. Maybe one could design away the clock like with these? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMULET_(processor)

No, people go to where the resources and opportunities are. Markets are for maximising profits. Housing should not be a market.

I have sympathy for Apple. They are essentially being forced to do business with a known bad actor, and that bad actor has continually demonstrated a pattern of behaviour that is unreliable and untrustworthy. But Apple really should have ha

First, it’s weird that anyone would take the side of Epic in any argument. Second, it’s obvious that no one had actually read the article. Epic admitted that they have deliberately broken the App Store rules. That’s enough to have anyone sa

That’s fair, but they weren’t out of the woods yet. But probably less important than I previously stated/thought.

I’d argue that the Motorola iTunes phone was a success. I don’t think its goal was to be a great phone, I think it was to bring in some much needed cash. The original Apple TV, like the iPod hifi, always felt like a hobby project that reall

It is actually very Apple, and perhaps even more so at post-Jobs Apple. The iPod wasn’t as good on paper as the Rio or Rune. Cost a LOT more too. The original iPhone wasn’t great, but it was good enough to capture the imagination. It certai

It’s new to me, but I’m not in the community. Sounds like it might solve many of the challenges I had esp. getting started.

I’d agree, but the developer in this example could still use the iOS App Store for free using the current terms

by dann0 3y ago
Only if you choose the new terms. The current ones are still available to you. I definitely don’t love all of the detail of either option. However, why would one chose an option that would cost them so much when the other, existing option c

Oh, I’m not a blind supporter of Apple. They absolutely could be much less arrogant and handle this and many other things much better. However, the entitlement that is pervasive here that whatever Apple does is bad and it’s ok to expect the

No, reinstalls and updates don’t get counted. This is in the linked page: “each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold”. This applies only to iOS Apps. iPad OS and Watch OS isn’t (yet) covered by this Core Technology Fee.

Again, that’s a choice you’ve made. I’d argue that a number way less than 1 million installs would signify enough success to start charging for

Have a look into Westfield / Scentre. I think a large part of the disagreement here is the idea that all digital things should be free compared to how the physical world has been forever. To sell to a hardware store, for example, you n

Have they? You need to substantiate that claim. 1. Developers can continue to use the existing terms. 2. If a smaller developer elects to use the new terms, they pay less commission (10%) and a 3% transaction fee. That’s 2% less. 3. If they

This is, in fact, a bad faith argument. Developers are not forced to develop iOS apps. There are other alternatives like web apps or only developing for Android. Developers have choices. If you want a store in a mall, you have to pay higher

Luckily, small developers are unlikely to reach the $1m pa to qualify for the 30% fee. They’ll be subject to 15%.

And Beeper would lose. This isn’t antitrust.

They didn’t buy hardware to make Beeper Mini work. They are using an exploit in the protocols to make this work. Be honest, if Apple was the party taking someone else’s property without permission, and then selling it for their own gain, wo

Did you just unironically use a “would someone think of the children?” argument? Of all the interesting points in this situation, this is not even close to being relevant

I think it is kind of absurd for private companies to build public infrastructure. Capitalism isn’t going to create more “housing supply”, it’s going to find ways to maximise profit and revenue. That’s diametrically opposed to the social or

Also, don't forget referee tracking. Higher level referees work hard on being the right places at the right time, so having some data showing their position at KMI as well as some way to measure their ability to anticipate would be val
