Wow I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing it out. That's brutal.

If you want to make 10$ you need to sell it for 14.29$ because the 30% is taken from the total. (30% of 14.29 = 4.29). Anyway, that's beyond the point. You need to find a way to support your development also for the next years.

> I wonder why that is. Money. Apple gets 30% off your app purchase and/or in-app purchases, while it gets 30% from your subscription for the first year and 15% for the subsequent years. So, if you think your app is worth 10$, you l

Well, I personally am happy that you found what motivates the development of your app :) However, some people still want to make that ugly thing called ... money ... :) When that's the case, you really need to do your best NOT to let

So much criticism. People, have fun developing stuff for free or for little to no money while having to support a shitload of OS versions and possibly multi-device, multiple framework versions, bugs, people sinking your app on the App Store

Showing you what you got makes no money. Bombing you with dedicated ads for the 20-30 minutes while you're shopping... hell that sounds awfully brilliant!!

Will the escreen show ads on what I should buy based on profiling? Otherwise I don't see the point, to be honest. :)

Wait until you're old and they'll complain that you didn't do enough for XYZ. We have all the possible available knowledge at our disposal today, right now, and look at how much crap we still do.

Then why do you say you could call the average doctor and get an appointment in 6 months? As I mentioned, I know about a range of categories and I never heard of 6 months. Your example seems very specific.

by mk89 3y ago
No but you pointed out or you wanted to point out it's not decent, yet you gave a score of 2-3 on a scale 1-5 where 1 is top. That makes it exactly decent/good, which is what the person said.

by mk89 3y ago
It's a bit unfair what you said and probably you know it - next generations can blame so many things on us today... it's just like history or life works.
377.
by mk89 3y ago
On a scale 1-5, 2 and 3 are exactly the same as or better than "decent". Otherwise the previous poster would have said "they are perfect (=1)". You're being a bit unfair, to be honest.

by mk89 3y ago
Not sure where you live. I (and the people I know, some of them 65+) never had to wait for 6 months - even for surgeries. And I can speak about a decently wide range of categories. You also mention "at least for some categories",

In general, if you don't pay taxes, in the listed countries you still can get treatment. It was probably a provocation - I guess?

by mk89 3y ago
Maybe nitpicking here, but healthcare is not financed with your taxes in Germany - it's financed by statutory health insurance (SHI) and private health insurance (PHI). The State "simply" sets the framework/legislation&#

In my experience, it's not that simple as you make it sound. In some cases, especially due to some compliance (ISO27001/SOC2-3, Fedramp, etc.) companies implement a proper management of CVEs. It has become a standard practice (typ

And just to add: that decision (to start with serverless for your POCs) came from above, CTO level. Needless to say, microservices are not serverless/step functions.

Which is ironically the same way as they got "used" by Garibaldi to "unify" Italy in 1860-1861. Only a fool can actually believe to defeat mafia with plain violence.
