Please read and listen again. He did not register the account, nor use his credentials (if he had, apple's contact attempts would've reached him). He only paid for it, and donated hardware.

> Are you saying that Apple admits to certain beliefs, and to certain facts that contradict those beliefs, in the same call? Yes, and it boils down to one thing: Either the termination of his account was correct, and should be upheld;

They didn't relate to Kapeli's app at all, other than that the account on which they were made was created by his credit card and on an old machine he gave away.

by Mithaldu 10y ago
It's rethoric because their stated beliefs clash with the facts of reality they admit to in that call.
755.
by Mithaldu 10y ago
It does not matter what they think or believe. They admit to certain facts being reality and that's all that matters.

by Mithaldu 10y ago
It doesn't matter what he has to admit or not. The issue lies in this sentence: > What Apple has done: on Friday they told me they’d reactivate my account if I’d make a blog post admitting some wrongdoing. The "if" is th

Apple would also be aware that various sets of contact data are attached to those accounts, but ignored them. The linking is furthermore also only done on their side via metadata, and not communicated to, or done by, the developer.

They're saying they think they did not make an error. That's entirely separate from what happened in reality. Besides, even if they say they think it, that might just as well be rethoric.

There are various ways to verify. Photo id, state id, holders of other associated credit cards (particularly where the cash for the app payments go to). I'm not saying they should ask nicely, but do due diligence.

Apple representative states there was no wrongdoing on Kapeli's side. Absent any wrongdoing on his side the termination is in error. Additionally they made the error of not contacting the holders of all accounts involved.

Listen to the phone call. He asks them why they contacted only the owner of the linked account and not the details on his account before closing his account, and Apple does not deny they failed to contact him and only says "cause they

Alright. I can go along with it not being blackmail from a legal perspective. Morally it absolutely does remain blackmail.
763.
by Mithaldu 10y ago
The unreasonable parts are: - Apple assumed, and let these assumptions stay untested, and particularly failed to reach out to the different contact details on all involved accounts. - Apple admits they terminated his account in error, yet b

Read the post again. Kapeli paid for the dev fee for an account he did not make or control, and gave the person controlling that account hardware he had bought. Apple proceeded to pull a facebook and marked the two accounts as linked and tr

After listening to the first 2 minutes of the call, i can say with absolute confidence that Apple is straight-up blackmailing him.* I would love to hear opinions on whether this is something that could be taken to court. * They did make a m

And here's Kapeli's explanation of what happened: https://blog.kapeli.com/dash-and-apple-my-side-of-the-story !!! it includes a recording of a phone call with Apple !!! Edit: After listening to the first 2 minutes

You get my downvote just for opening with sarcasm.

They're talking about this, and it definitely looks like some kind of marketing stunt: http://www.fujitv.co.jp/kimyo/rinna_blog/ Edit: Jumpscare warning.

Some of the numbers you're thinking of come from: https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/03/police-complaints-drop-93-... Which also makes the point that the behavior sticks even when the cameras are gone. There

by Mithaldu 10y ago
Yeah, that's the key detail here. The article went kinda off-topic on itself, by throwing in quotes about a completely unrelated incident, which on skimming may be read as referring to statcheck, despite having nothing whatsoever to do

Please refer to the linked discussion. Various people ask about it and various people try to explain it (including me).

And it hits the most important point of: Gitless tries to do away with the staging area, thus completely misunderstands Git.

Its use is to help in reasoning about the changes by offering an easy way to diff staging to the previous commit and to hdd, while being easy to change quickly. As for testing, it is trivial to stash or commit your current changes, go go th

I do this all the time and the answer is: I test it. If there's a certain set of changes i wish to commit in one unit, but i have other changes in flight, then i use staging to prepare and reason about them while being able to diff bot

It comes down to levels of "written in stone"-ness, for lack of better words. There's a hierarchy of how much thought and effort change requires at various levels, starting at requiring no additional thought, to requiring con

Git has the same with `git add -p`, and if you're operating on a gui system, git-gui is excellent.

While the staging area could use some UX improvements, it is the most important part of git and proper usage of it fosters good history clarity and code quality For that reason i agree strongly. Any attempt to improve git that does not move
