From one of the Reddit commenters: > Edit: As an EU customer, and having called my lawyer really quickly, we don't even think that this is legal / would hold up in court in the EU. Also they'd have been required to summari

And you make yourself guilty of the exact same bad rhetorics here. Let's call it a day - it is OK to just let bad comments be and let them sink. Give them a down vote instead.

in my opinion it is about controlling "what you have in your fridge". if I want to loose weight but cannot remove the chocolate from my fridge I am at the mercy of my supplier of fridges. it is the same here. if I don't want

my comment might have sarcastic undertones, but it is definitely serious. I understand that the original commenter might not have thought thiur argument through and the implications of it. That is fair, that is why we debate.

I am sure Norton also think they are best in class anti-virus software. and luckily we don't govern by My Opinion™.

Do you enjoy pre-installed aware, shareware, demoware etc. in general? or is this only because it is Apple products and his is about? like having a demo version of Norton installed on your new PC. or having Facebook OEM installed with no wa

This is substanceless series of rethorical flexes. eg. the comparison with Target as a store. Had Apple from the beginning allowed and encouraged sideloading and alternative stores then that analogy had potentially been fair. But as a custo

Americans are more than capable of changing these things through fiscal policies. Or just impose regulations: an example of what we do in Denmark is to make house owners liable for having somebody to live in the unit (bopælspligt). Would

Please don't mix up monetary and fiscal policies. The US is not famous for their redistribution politics especially not the past 30 years. In Denmark we have numerous policies in place, that ensures that housing stays as housing and

This sentiment stems from not being able to distinguish types of inflation. In the current environment, cost inflation is not a problem anymore. The reason why the FEDs might not lower the interest rate, is because of salary inflation. So

the idea with the second statement is: the cost of bringing innovation to a market where inflation is higher makes it easier to pay back to cost of the innovation. ie. you pay your salaries at index 100 and get to sell them at a higher inde

they don't, they have the interest rate as a coefficient. interest rates have reduced signitifanctly over the past 30 years. also, remember that housing is not your San Fransisco condos. it is also the town house at some rural village.

by madsbuch 3y ago
that is cost inflation. there is also salary inflation, which indeed is a part of the general inflation. inflation is the reason why it makes sense to own you house. please enlighten me on how rich people benefit from (salary-)inflation

by madsbuch 3y ago
quite the opposite. inflation is good for the working class. Housing prices are generally congruent to salary with interest rates as the coefficient. personally I see inflation as the innovation dispersion factor - the rate we let the val

that makes sense. within the past couple of months the value of comments, especially before community cueation, has gone very much down. Maybe hackernews is mostly LLMs speaking at this point. what a shame.

Hey, this is completely up to you. nobody is trying to steal your apple pay. this is merely the parent commenter's belief that they would should use different apps to reduce the risk vector when secrets are stolen. no reason to complet

Using multiple devices: Credit cards for payment, instead og apple pay. A camera for taking pictures, instead of a camera app, a notebook to write notes, instead of an app. From my perspective the original comment is not rocket science?

Single point of failure? If a single code gives access to everything, loosing that code to a malicious actors is really bad.

This is irrelevant for the case. The question is if Apple has a monopolistic position.

Would it be OK for your bank to exclusively support Android? Would it be OK for government apps to only support Android. Of course not.

Indeed, this happens often. Like buying a house under the financial crisis and taking out a loan on unreasonable valuations. This is btw. exactly what the article talks about. You should use the most favorable way to finance your company: S

I see that a lot of people struggle with the term enterprise value. It might make sense to think about this in terms of housing and mortgages. You can say that the total value of a house is the mortgage + equity. When you take out a loan on

by madsbuch 3y ago
The enterprise value is the total value of the company: The value of all stocks and bonds in circulation (minus the cash, assuming you use that to pay out bonds). Why is that a bad term? I do appreciate that this does not ring will with a l

The article touches fundamentals in capital markets: Stocks and bonds are essentially the same thing. The way to think about the enterprise value is: How much should I pay in order to gain exclusive control over the company and all its asse

analogies are even less useful when you make it to a widely regulated sector and seek anti-regulation analogies. I am sure the construction sector is overflowing with grumpy people who feel like aspestos is the best form for isolation.

Better safe than sorry... Absolutely. If you work with a company, where you cannot guarantee that no tracking will be injected into their users computers, then you better add the disclaimer. Also, if you feel certain, and a ready to defend

well, if you respect the do not track setting and therefore DO NOT TRACK, then just remove the banner. You have not obligation to tell people that you do not track because you do not track.
