Ok, now I see the problem the author is trying to solve. Thanks for clearing that up. I think from an HTTP perspective, the right way to solve this is to use vendor specific content types and have the OS resolve whether to open it in an ap

I'm surprised we would want HTTP URLs for this. Especially since, as this article is written, no HTTP requests are ever being made. Why not have an ios:// (or android://) prefixed URL, and have whatever follows tha

Actively managed funds struggle to beat the market over the long term. There's a lot of evidence that passive investing (i.e. just buying a low-fee index fund) is the way to go right now for most investors. The presence of active mana

The standard of living we all enjoy today is due to billions of people doing things they consider work and not "antiwork". If we can live in a world like ours where everyone is doing "antiwork" instead of work, that woul

This doesn't really sound like a problem with HTTP, but more a problem with common implementations on clients and servers. What they are doing with their delta API does seem like a GET is the correct option, and according to the spec a

I think this is a great example of why that list of "right" things is not a good list. Focusing on growing insanely fast, with high usage numbers and a relentless focus on where the next source of funding is coming from is not the

It is extremely difficult for large organizations to create the sort of innovative leaps that startups can create. Amazon is attempting to do this. They have been successful in many different ways, but for every winner they create they nee

As long as Hospitals and Law firms continue to hire competent Doctors and Lawyers, this would be a win for society. More people getting health care or access to the legal system, at lower prices, would be a good thing for society. And I do
