Google Search absolutely charges its customers, who are advertisers. It charges them a lot of money to show their ads to the billions of users.

The point is that Apple doesn't care if there's GPL code, so it doesn't matter if they "realize" as you said in your original comment. If anything, the project contributors could sue Automattic for violating the ter

Put that way it's really a 42% Apple tax.

Disingenuous. "Signed software" is generally understood to mean signed with am Apple-issued certificate. The fact that you can ad-hoc sign with no certificate at all makes that kind of signing little more than a linker step. You m

I think they abandoned the code word thing. Now you just get a numeric code on a printed ticket. I thought it was cool but I'm sure it was confusing to a lot of customers.

Screwfix is the Argos of DIY. Toolstation also. Ideal business model for Covid times it turns out.

My Irish friend usually makes a similar response to yours. If I notice something is the same she says - "well you know, we do have a shared history, of course things are the same" If I notice something is different she says - &quo

As a UK person visiting Ireland for the first time it was fun to notice all the things that are the same and the ones that are the same but a bit different. Like Ireland has Primark, but it's called Penneys, and you have the same post

Most people subscibe to creators to support the creator in producing content they value, not to purchase a book or something they can sell on one day. I mean really $5 resale value for a book it's chicken feed, barely worth considering

Quite right. It wasn't really touted as anything. It just showed up in OS X 10.7 in 2010.

More important to maintain a tether to the immediate physical world around you, than to a notion of being "informed" about far-off events.

Well we had https ("check for the lock icon") back then, you could pay for plenty of things with credit cards online. Of course there was some fear of it among the general public. PayPal by no means invented online payments they j

It might be a descriptor of a state but it does not explain the cause. The argument here is against the notion that depression is caused by chemical imbalance.

Which does raise the question, why are we concerned about 5G when Huawei is presumably also behind much of the 4G and other existing infrastructure? What's the difference in terms of security risk?

Months ago there were massive shortages of PPE and UK was largely in lockdown with most people only going out to exercise and to shop, not going anywhere else, and not seeing famliy, friends etc. Now the risk profile of things has changed b

Future-dating it is a sensible move to allow people to get used to the idea, to disseminate the news, and to allow time to obtain the necessary equipment. It will increase compliance compared to an immediate rule change. Bear in mind that o

Presumably it's about judging what is an acceptable degree of risk vs stripping out all Huawei equipment immediately and effecively crippling the nation's comms infrastrtucture.

For this use case there is no need to collect real email address. The obfuscated email that apple provides can be used to send emails to the user.

In what way are EU's institutions remotely democratic? The only one that is actually elected is the EU parliament, which has little actual power and exists only as a (very expensive) fig leaf of democracy. We can argue about how good a
