"They aren't good for consumers either." Can't speak for the Google store, but as a consumer, I definitely trust Apple's apps more than random developers' apps. So in Apple's case, I always appreciate when

That was my impression as well. Strava willfully ignored their buggy integration with HealthKit, blaming Apple etc. I received countless duplicate workouts in my HealthKit. I emailed them dozens of times... Ended up cancelling my Pro subscr

This is why I don’t trust apps outside the App Store as much. If we can’t trust an app that is the cornerstone of a 25 billion dollar business (Zoom’s market cap) not to install malware, then I don’t know. I want the trust through the App S

I'm all for the freedom to choose the length of your work week. But don't come back later complaining about widening income gap among people. There will be differences in outcome between people who work 30 vs 60 hours in any given

Why would anyone buy Soulver outside the Mac App Store? Any compelling new features that warrants the higher price and risk?

Unfortunately there is not a clear segmentation here between what NIH funds and what ultimately becomes the product available on the market. NIH often fund basic research, while others pick that up and attempt to make a drug out of it. Thi

US tax payers is fronting $28 billion a year for NIH research. There is a lot of IP coming out of that that belongs to them, and not the Chinese Communist Party. There is such a thing as licensing agreements. Again, there are many successf
