I don't see a reasonable definition by which the Apple app store is not open to anyone to publish in.

by DagAgren 7y ago
Open for publishing, not buying.

Yes, carriers had app stores, that were not generally open to anyone, and that took a much bigger cut than Apple.

"Around the same time" means it wasn't around before, no?

The carrier-run app stores that existed before Apple's. They charged much more than 30%, and were much harder to deal with.

You didn't get them from an app store open to the public like the Apple one, though, and neither did their developer get to keep a full 70% of the price.

One of the biggest OSes today is running nearly entirely on reference counting, so I think it's safe to say they are actually in favour.

There were not really any public app stores like the Apple one. And cuts were, in general, much higher. Apple's app store took off so well because it offered a much better deal than the competition.

Yes, it used to be much higher before Apple.

Fair enough!

Why not just turn off the tracking identifier?

You have a massive selection bias going on here - you're not going to use APL if you do not already tolerate this kind of code.

No, they probably are good. But you won't know if you just stick to the has-been abusers.

No, they were always bad. But more importantly, his behaviour kept others out of the field. It stopped them having their voice heard. His fame came at the cost of many other's. And there is no reason why we should allow that to continu

"This problem is actually really big, so we should not care about it."

Not "most people". But people without a functioning moral compass, sure. That is not something to be proud of, though.

These fires are on a scale that is unprecedented. But they are also not an isolated event, and they will continue from now on, and get worse. Forests have not evolved to deal with that.

Those stats are either false, or are actually evidence that the network is tiny. Tens of thousands of transactions per day means it's not even doing a single transaction per second, which is miniscule.

It is a claim also made by anyone who understands bitcoin. It just doesn't scale. This is a fact, no matter whether scammers also agree.

> And yet, the vast majority of transactions on the LN proceed without a problem Because LN is seeing barely any usage at all. The routing problem will bite as soon as it tries to scale.

That still sounds like plain old determinism to me.

The amounts of helium produced by any nuclear reactions are absolutely miniscule. Filling a balloon with nuclear fusion is a mammoth task.

Lifting anything out of the gravity well of a gas giant is pretty much impossible. We struggle to lift anything off Earth because our gravity well is so deep, and those of gas giants are more than an order of magnitude worse.

That does not mean you can just leave out anything you want, though.

I highly doubt that there is another model that would not require non-trivial work to be fast, while also being reasonably portable to different architectures. Sure, we could be faster by just sending x86 machine code, but that isn't

One does not make the situation worse. The other makes it worse. That's pretty simple. Neither makes the situation BETTER. But one makes it WORSE.

The machine is not, and neither is the world. Even if it were, it would still not be as good. It would not tell you about materials, tolerances, or many other important things.

I think people aren't quite willing to face up to the consequence of this, though: This means that commercial air travel, as we know it, is going to go away. We can not afford to keep burning fuel at the rate we do for flights today, a

I mean, it works fine with my tools, I just choose not to use shit ones?
