I don't think the author of this article has interpreted this study correctly. She appears to be comparing the myocarditis rates in Supplementary Table 21 vs Table 22 to get the numbers of 370 per million vs 500 per million, but those

I'm not sure how that contradicts what I said? Most of the people in the COVID-19 group tested positive before the vaccines were approved in December 2020. Yes, they might have been vaccinated afterwards, but my point is they did not h

It is important to note that given the timeline in the study (March 2020 to Jan 2021) most of the COVID-19 group was likely unvaccinated. It remains to be seen whether vaccination protects against these same risks. Edit: This is confirmed i

Yep. Apple will be able to present this as evidence in any future court cases that while a reduced commission may be beneficial for developers , it does not necessarily reduce prices for consumers .

Update: It has been pointed out that the methodology used to arrive at the -0.2% number is incredibly strange. The authors selected seven studies to include in their calculation, with estimates ranging from 0.0% to -35.3%. The arithmetic av

That is incorrect, the 30% that Epic was paying Apple was sufficient to establish standing, they did not need to break the contract on top of that. The judge said so herself during the trial.

After reading the brief I think it's important to point out that even if the appeals court fully agreed with the arguments made by the states, that does not automatically mean Epic would win their case. This is because the arguments ma

If you want to be pedantic, yes, the district court did indeed rule against Microsoft with regards to the tying claim. However, when most people discuss the result of a lawsuit you can generally infer they are referring to the ultimate deci

You seem to be unaware that the tying claims in the Microsoft case were specifically overturned by the appeals court.

Just because something is not 100% effective does not mean that it should be abandoned entirely. All of the measures you mentioned still have some degree of efficacy. The fact that breakthrough infections sometimes occur is not a valid coun

This comes as no surprise to anyone paying attention to the case. From the appeals court: Apple has demonstrated, at minimum, that its appeal raises serious questions on the merits of the district court’s determination that Epic Games, Inc
