You say it will never get any traction, but cryptocurrency’s global market cap is $2.28T right now and growing. This has a lot of vibes similar to when dropbox was first announced. Even if you don’t find it valuable or believe in it, surely

If you run your own web server then that’s still centralized. If you run your own web server that runs code which abides to the protocol rules like miner software then your server is contributing to a decentralized network.

Yes it is the context of this thread. It's talking about collecting the fees from the companies that use their platform, not the users. Context: > enos_feedler 2 days ago [–] > This doesn't seem crazy to me. The idea that Ap

Could you name an example where a company does not have to pay to use another's product and ecosystem? I can't.

> Apple does not own its users. If the legal owner of an iPhone wants to run code from a third-party on it Apple should have no right to interfere. Apple can set its own terms on its SDKs and tools but we should be able to forego them. I

The line is clear. It specifically is ruling on the companies agreeing to Apple's terms for creating their app in the Apple ecosytem. It's not ruling against the end-consumer which is what you are referring to. You're conflat

Why is this a moral right? The company decides to leverage the users, tools, and ecosystem of Apple to make money so they agree to the terms. What is immoral about that? Do you do business in a different country, make money, and then critic

"It's scary to think that the entire software industry is controlled by a few gate keepers, and if you piss them off, the chances of you ever selling a piece of software ever again are basically zero." I mean that same argume

I do the same, but I use catch-all so I don't have to create emails for each service.

I think Japan's products often miss the bigger picture. They often excel at one specific problem, but lack cohesive strategy to tie back into the whole ecosystem. In this post, there was discussion about SD cards and music hence why th

You found Signal very sub-par for everyday messaging when compared to WhatsApp? May I ask how so? Because I found those 2 of the many I use to be very similar if not the same.

I don't think a license is going to stop them from adopting the software. Their current FFMpeg is 9 years out of date! That should illustrate the diligence already.

Don’t you have to settle in fiat even if it’s crypto first? Even if you pay your employees in crypto, it counts as income which will need to be represented in fiat.

I skimmed the article, but I would argue product focused has to understand everything including being “market-focused”. You need to understand what the market is asking to guide your product decisions.

May I ask why are you comparing with ICE automakers? Tesla is much more than that. Wouldn’t your comparison be like only comparing Amazon’s Kindle vertical with the rest of the ebook reader market?

Am I in the minority who’s okay with forgoing repairability for the better design and integration? I really don’t want a cheap back cover that pops off and takes up milimeters of space.

You speak idealistically, but the reality is that many of these banks did not having open banking standards nor APIs before. The scraping led to this movement and FSAs all over the world are starting to push for no scraping while financial
