You mention that Minecraft and Roblox are already used for education, how will you be able to compete with them? They have insane brand recognition and loyalty already, more resources and much more advanced technology.

Alright, so in practice Hide my email doesn’t work, the sites you sign up at will still receive your real email. That seems incredibly badly implemented by Apple. But how can the browser even have your email? Or is Apple leaking in from the

Ok but what does OP mean? And are kids playing this because they want to, or because school or parents tell them to?

People play games not because of the medium, but the content. So just making a game would seem pointless, it has to be a very engaging game, and frankly speaking this one looks pretty bland. Is the idea that kids should play this on their f

What does this mean? Is this only relevant for users of WebRTC, whatever that is, or for everyone?

Why would it be consultancy? They only need to write e.g. the Wix-extraction code once hopefully, and then just run it for each new client. Seems very scalable.

This is different, since you are migrating from specific, very large and established systems. Obviously it will be possible to automate it.

The question is not "how can anyone choose to be an anime fox", it's "why do so many of them do that". If say 40% of all quarterbacks were named James, you are not explaining that by saying "James is a perfectl

This is great, I have been thinking of starting this startup but also knew I would never do it since I want to focus on my current one. Someone else doing it takes away the stress, I can just leave it to you!

There are lots of things that are different from reality, the questions is why so many of them chose that particular way to be unrealistic.

I don't know if those are the historical reasons, but I'd say the main reason now is that it simplifies book keeping. Just like even the most solvent companies don't pay their purchases right away, you pay on invoice and batc

The point is that it's for people that are living hand to mouth. They're not saving a cent, living constantly on the brink. For them it makes a huge difference to get paid a few days earlier. But this is also why even free payday

While that is obviously a ludicrous idea, as a shareholder I don't really care if someone else also might have been able to do it. The fact is that Tim Cook DID preside over perhaps the most monumental value creation in corporate histo

Just compare with other tech companies. I haven’t checked but I don’t think 0.1% is high, my guess is that it’s very very low, but I could be wrong.

by Grustaf 5y ago
Not really, apps that distribute content like that have are allowed to take payment outside the app, I’m pretty sure it applies to anyone. No doubt the exception was introduced because of Amazon and Netflix, but i think it applies to anyone

No matter how you look at it, a CEO that earns less than 0.1% of the shareholder value created under his watch can’t reasonably be called overpaid.

by Grustaf 5y ago
When was this?
949.
by Grustaf 5y ago
Of course no one needs it. But the discussion here was if he had earned it, and he definitely has. Relative to value creation, I bet he’s very low in the CEO compensation league.

Put it this way. In the last 5 years Tim Cook has created $1900 b in shareholder value. If you divide that by 160000 you get $12 m. Now I don’t know how many phones a foxconn worker can make per year, but I do think it’s fair to assume they

I’m pretty sure they still can’t, since that happens in the app. The rule mentions communication outside the app.

That’s not how it typically works though. Your car has to be tested regularly, at least in Europe. Your bag is searched when you travel, in an infinitely more intrusive way. Also , your photos are only scanned on their way to iCloud. Turn o

by Grustaf 5y ago
Yes of course, but that is surely still forbidden. The change is about communication outside the app.
954.
by Grustaf 5y ago
But I don’t get it, it has never been forbidden, isn’t that exactly how netflix and all other subscription business do it? Clearly they have communicated about the payment outside the app?

All the other major services already scan your photos with similar algorithms, the only difference is that apple is trying to do it in a much more robust and privacy preserving way.

by Grustaf 5y ago
Do you want to bet?
957.
by Grustaf 5y ago
Not an inch. Since most people trust Facebook with their photos and google with all their emails, both of them mining your personal data for ads, obviously they will not mind Apple scanning their photos to prevent horrific crimes.

by Grustaf 5y ago
> It's about the fact that the scanning occurs locally on your device, which is meaningfully different Yeah it IS different, most people feel much better about things that happen on device. Since this only happens for photos on thei

Ignore the technical implementation then, it's still obvious that they have always been able to quietly spy on exactly everything you do on the phone. Definitely no need for this crazy CSAM tech if spying is what they want to enable.

Ah ok, makes sense. This was my first mac, things have definitely changed since then...
