You should do some form of aerobic exercise if you're working out for health reasons. Cardiovascular health is important and will make you feel "fitter" on an every day basis.

Apple vs ad-tech is a really interesting battle. It shows the immense power Apple has in the consumer market today, where they can affect some of the largest businesses in the US unilaterally. Meta is in a very tricky position in that unles

"Unfortunately, IAP being 'optional' means that no one will ever use it" I think one of the biggest issue is that Apple is trying to capture all of the revenue from the App eco system from a single function, the in app b

The point is that for every dollar someone takes out of the crypto eco-system someone else has to put one in. With miners taking their own cut that means the game is actually negative sum for normal people trading in crypto currencies.

What makes you think the risk of heart issues is higher from the vaccine than the risk of heart issues from a non-hospitalized incidence of covid?

Are you not ignoring the unknown long term risks of having had Covid here? Those are equally unknown.

It seems really niche but I like that, it allows you to really perfect the product for a singular use-case. Do you already know if/how you're planning to expand after this?

This seems like a really big counterpoint to the corner stone of Apple's "30% is reasonable" take - that the App Store is a safe and curated experience. It's one thing for a one off app to slip through, but to have it ma

Since you have a contrarian view I'd be curious to hear your take on some reasons I like to travel: - Get a feel for life in a place. How do people live? Where do people eat? How do people move around? Where do people congregate? How d

In the ideal scenario the apps are routing a new customer to you, handling taking the order and payment, picking up the food, and delivering it. That seems like it could be worth more than 15% to the restaurant. People say these apps have f

Reading the article I couldn't find anything - is there no minimum amount available? 15% of a $5 order obviously not enough to deliver it. Or is this more of a measure to move the fees onto the customer so they are more explicit?

Mainly that people are good at different things so I wouldn't want to compare two people on only one task. I don't really see how that interjection is particularly relevant for the point I'm making though.

I agree completely and that's my point. Evaluation is hard. Separately from that, many people believe having people be in office leads to a higher chance of them doing work because the alternatives are much less enticing.

I think you have a very idealized picture of the software industry. There are absolutely cases where more process helps keep things on track and increase overall productivity.
136.
by librish 5y ago
Yes. If you could clone the same person working on the same task it would be trivial for anyone to see which one is working hard and which isn't. The problem is that you can't do that so now you're left with having to measure

Not everyone can afford or attract top level developers. Saying Keep motivation high and keep autonomy high and I assure you software will get produced at a high quality. is handwaving some extremely hard problems, especially if you'

I think that assumes that you have reasonably self-motivating employees and work that is often interesting which definitely isn't always the case. How do you suggest a non-technical manager tells slacking apart from when things just ta

I don't have any problems with people buying or selling art for large sums of money, nor do I have a problem with people classifying art as pretty much whatever they want. The only thing I mind are the people pretending a real problem

Preventing people from exiting an existing position is a much bigger deal than preventing them from entering a new one.

My understanding is that it's not that the trades themselves will move the market, but it's likely that the market will move.

Another benefit of whiteboard interviews that I often see left out is how well they scale. You can train a lot of engineers in how to conduct these interviews fairly quickly and you tell them what information to focus on and how to document

They seem pretty equivalent to me. You have a site or service send usage information to an ad network and the ad network returns an ad to show. The only difference here is that in the case of Apple they own both the service and the ad netwo

One thing that removes a lot of credibility from Apple's "for the good of the user" communication on this is that they broke out the personalization for their own ad network as an option, put it in a different location, and m

But why could you not just keep using the AppStore and nothing else? Out of the things you've listed the only one who would actually consider leaving the AppStore would be Epic.

Can someone who's on Apple's side here elaborate on why they think the outcome for consumers would be worse if they're forced to loosen some of their restrictions? It's very unlikely that app developers choose to forgo t
