I don't. Making something popular requires a tonne of work. Again, this has always been the case, even for traditional physical products. If you're going to make a competitor for something, expect an uphill battle. As I said, ther

Anyone can start a social media network. Twitter has competition in the form of the relatively-new Parler, which has welcomed controversial voices - and has gained significant traction among them. You can feel free to create your own too. S

Then nationalize them or make them a public and/or Government agency (in a fair market fashion, by petitioning the Government to make them an offer to buy them out). But as long as they're a private company they get the same prote

Which is a fair comment to make, but ultimately without the protection of Section 230, Twitter or Facebook would have never allowed Trump on the platform in the first place. The risk of being held accountable (ie. lawsuits, defamation suits

Yes, I do. To live in a bubble and not expose yourself to things you don't like is to live a life of blissful ignorance. That may work for you, but I like to be educated and have insight.

Newspapers and magazines have always had a choice who or what to print in their papers. TV and radio stations have always had a choice who or what to air. Why shouldn't social media companies have the same liberties?

The United Kingdom is made up of the island of Great Britain and a part of the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland). It also includes many other smaller islands You're probably thinking of Great Britain by itself, which is the island c

I think you probably want Fargate for that. This announcement is great if you need to package stuff inside your container for use at Lambda runtime.

The main problem there is you are not able to pay a premium for IAP subscriptions. Apple mandates that functionally equal options cost the same inside the app as outside, despite Apple taking the 30% cut for IAP.

No, of course not, but Apple is essentially triple dipping in this regard. Lets break down the costs. 1. A $100 annual developer subscription. It could be argued that this goes towards SDK development, developer tooling, and App Store publi

Thanks, I appreciate that. And while I do see their offerings as vastly different in many ways, I do see the parallels you mention. Speaking personally, and as as a lifelong gamer, I place great value in being able to play my games decades

And if this thread were about my employer and their policies, I may choose to weigh in on them also. Saying that, console games are more often than not the size of a Blu-ray disc, with triple-A games exceeding 40-60Gb in size, sometimes lar

No, but I don't understand the relevance, much less why a developer would do that (or why Apple would ask for it)? Of course a developer could just raise prices elsewhere to make the cost equal to that on iOS if they raised the price t

Consumers have the choice, but developers don't. Its been proven countless times over the years that Android users are much less likely to pay for applications than iOS users. As a developer, if you want to survive and make money from

by nathankunicki 6y ago
But you don't pay 30% more - if it was the case that devs were allowed to make the iOS in app purchases 30% more than the counterparts, that would be fine (well, not fine, but at least it would give the people options). Apple has block

Fun to read, but there's a lack of detail here that I'd like to see. For example, this talks purely about code changes. However times a code change requires a database schema change (as mentioned above), different API's to be

I think this policy has existed for almost 20 years now. I remember in earlier seasons of 24, all good guys used Macs, and bad guys used PC's.

I think there's an element of truth to the scapegoat argument. By all reports, N26 was not doing so well in the UK. Other established challenger banks such as Monzo and Starling are taking up the mindshare of people wanting to move fro

Sure - but if you ever want it to be as flexible as GQL, you need to implement...a query language?

With less flexibility, and more round trips.

Of course it is, the wholesale cost of data is peanuts comparatively. However there is _more_ money to be made by marking it up and charging $X per GB above an arbitrary cap.

I would argue that all machines, on Earth or otherwise, should run on UTC! Only when interacting with a human should the output be converted to the local time of that human.

Google is not merely a reference. As soon as it scrapes a site it caches it, and hosts the summary, and makes the cached version available.

His assessment on how “Big Mail Corps” accept mail is plain wrong from my experience. When I ran my own mail server, I had SPF, DKIM, rDNS and strict DMARC setup correctly, and got 10/10’s on mail-tester.com. Admittedly my main problem

I still don't understand how. Regardless of who ends up using the phone, surely the original purchaser/signer is still on the hook for the monthly payments? ie. If I buy a contract iPhone from AT&T then unlock and sell on the

IE was superceded by Edge a long time ago. I'm not arguing for a different choice of browser, I'm arguing for them not to ship deprecated browsers.
