10% is not reasonable, 1% is not reasonable. The problem is not how much Apple charges, that's up to them. The problem is Apple's heavy hand saying what a user can see, what they can install, and what the developer can say to thei

exactly! Another way to see it: engineering is the easy/cheap part. Testing, supporting, maintaining and marketing are way more expensive, and those are long-term expenses. The enthusiast usually thinks about the engineering bits, and

How a discussion about "second-hand bookstores are closing" become a "god doesn't exist" discussion?!? I love HN comments :))

This kind of answer shows why covid is hitting so hard in america. "I do whatever I want, you do whatever you want" it's not about the individual, what he wants or do. It's about this individual spreading the virus to th

As someone working remote for the last 10 years: Home office is all about routine (to start and to finish). Can be anything: you can cook, play an instrument, play a game, take a walk, exercise, read a book or even call someone. Doesn'

I said the same thing in another thread. It's all about money. But even though is all about money, a legislation change is still necessary. As long as the result of this benefits the society, who's pushing it shouldn't matter

I remember when Nokia decided to kill meego, or when Canonical stopped pushing DEs (and firing a bunch of people with it). The exactly same reaction happened back then: people tried to save things, push public projects more in the open, mov

Although I agree with you that is good that a big company did hit both walls at the same time, and that might benefit developers in the long term, It doesn't seem fair to compare Google's behavior and Apple's. In the Android

This was not what happened. Whatsapp got banned by individual low-ranking-judges in low profile cases, which was unreasonable. Higher courts removed the ban pretty quick and made sure it won't happen again.

I think Ardour is doing the same. You can get the code and build it youtself, or you can pay them and get a proper build. Of course Linux distros are still building and shipping it.

Oh, you mention that Amazon's prices are not low, and they are the same everywhere. I missed that part. I don't buy on amazon very much, and I'm in Canada. But I don't see prices lower than Amazon frequently. Usually on

by danilocesar 6y ago
well, Amazon prices are low. And I'm not ignoring the fact that they also can do that because they run a huge monopoly that crushes the mid-size business and destroys the competition, I'm just pointing that they are low. Usually

But from a business POV, it makes sense. Assuming that they have a million returns monthly, and from those only a dozen are scams (I have no idea about the real numbers, just guessing), it would be way more expensive to them to do a deep in

You mean golden ages, right? </joke> It's an exaggeration, I know. The web was visually unpleasant those days. Techwise too. Flash?! IE-only? OGM... But almost all information was opened and text-search-ready. Now informatio

I wouldn't say cheaply... Unless you have a digital-only account or has a high-class account (like VanGogh,Personalitté, etc) it's cost almost 9 BRL for a inter-bank transfer.

lack of users might be the case. WhatsApp is ridiculous popular in Brazil, but not that relevant in north america.

Another step towards equality pay (so the risk of moms and dads leaving on parental is the same). This is not obvious, but after you think about it it makes a lot of sense. Congrats Finland.

Talking about Battlefield V cheaters on consoles... Now there's a ridiculous amount of players using those chronusmax/titan two/strikepack devices that modify the input of real controllers and do things like anti-recoil, rapi
