The first paragraph of the article is much clearer, and seems to agree with your interpretation: “The Amazon Appstore has announced that it will be reducing its cut of developer revenue from 30% to 20% for developers that earn less than $1

One of BitMEX’s security features at one point (if memory serves) was that one (or more) of the principals had to review/approve withdrawals daily. That is likely difficult for them to do from prison or while being detained pending tr

Reproducing the table from the article with one extra column, the ratio of expenses to revenue for clarity, it looks like they're still operating with a very comfortable margin. Yes, the 19% margin is tighter than a 50% margin 12 year

Yes, it is a thing people do. The problem is, those non-technical people do not understand on-disk formats. (Nowadays, most USB sticks come preformatted as ExFAT.) There are also offline and low bandwidth situations. In healthcare it&#x

In my opinion, APFS does not seem to improve upon ZFS in several key areas (compression, sending/receiving snapshots, dedup, etc.). Apple is reimplementing many features already implemented in OpenZFS, btrfs (which itself reimplemente

Yes, but with loans and debt there is already a more apt mechanism for handling exactly the nonpayment case: interest rates. Student loan interest rates would go up with more nonpayment, making them less affordable, making school tuitions

The only rational argument for why it might be remotely worthwhile to spend more money than the debt on pursuing a debtor would be to make an example to prevent others who owe similar amounts from defaulting (or not paying back when default
