I don’t read it that way. I think the point is it doesn’t make sense that apple is taking a cut of a transaction that is not in their payment rails*. Apple can still be compensated for their App store service without using a model that take

I don’t think anyone suggests Apple should get nothing for their app store services, just that it shouldn’t be 30% of every transaction processed through every iOS app.

I’m actually more sick of hearing about AI like literally all the time in all forms of media. I’m also sick of seeing AI created content which is so obviously low quality and often unchecked and just thrown out into the world. Also when I h

Yeah that list has left me wondering, then what is it good at? HTML, CSS and JavaScript?

The carpenter comparison isn’t a good one. The output of the carpenter’s labor and (importantly) material resources yields a hard good and that process does not scale. Software on the other hand scales extremely well and the marginal cost o

Yes and the fact that you have people looking for a cure to their ills will always draw unscrupulous parties to their money. The entire supplements industry is sort of a prototype for this with outrageous marketing often targeting vulnerabl

The timing of this might lead one to believe Paramount’s hostile takeover bid for Warner Brothers Discovery is a consideration in their editorial decisions. They and their competitor (Netflix) need regulatory approval for such a merger and

Funny how these statements seem to preempt alternative descriptions, misconceptions or criticisms. Python is pretty well known as a data, analytic and machine learning oriented language, and they lean into a more broad characterization. Per

It’s a lot harder to put the genie back in the bottle once out. AI is already hurting people. We need regulation to hold it and its benefactors accountable. The federal government is preempting states from doing so. https://www.b

I’m not an expert but my understanding is a slow migration from agriculture oriented jobs to industrial to information jobs. Yes we all have more cheap junk but also economic disparity and a hollowing out of the middle class. That will get

They have also gotten more aggressive on trying to get you to sign in. I have appreciated the shitty UX changes they have made which has resulted in me using it less. It’s just filler and I need less of that in life, so thanks for chasing m
