If this is what GoDaddy is doing, let's get back at them. Everyone can search for a variety of domains that we are not actually interested in, and waste their money if they frontrun us.

But that's standard, no? The only organizations that publish equity research are investment banks (which rarely publish negative articles since they want to be part of potential future M&A activity), and hedge funds. This type of r

I am genuinely sad to write this: Apple has become the most arrogant asshole company of all the tech giants. They have forgotten the role that we developers played in making them the largest company in the world. But in their moment of fina

Insightful article. And worldscraping is a delightful term, with lots of positive potential if there were an open platform. Unfortunately I agree that big tech will definitely try to own AR-scraped data, and make it even more of a walled ga

Yes, we know. Ask any iOS developer friend of yours and you'll know that Apple never backs down, until the incident gets publicity. And the non-malicious explanation for that is simple. The majority of the million apps in the app store

Beyond a certain market share, that argument doesn't hold anymore. That's where anti-trust comes in. Which market share definition, you ask? IMHO it is the definition that defines decision making for app developers, on whether the

A lot of the articles and comments I have read, focus on the 30% cut. Which is definitely high, though primarily for those who sell externally licensed and/or non-digital goods. But to me (with my almost decade long iOS developer exper

And even if they lose some users when they split out the feature to a separate app, they have still slowed down the growth of their competitor. It's an ugly, but effective strategy.

Are you paying for their ad-free premium experience today? It's $10/month, much lesser than the $200 you are willing to pay.

Great points. Once you get used to the dopamine high of people "liking" your posts, it can get hard to relax and enjoy the actual experience. And switching off your phone/camera is not really what you want either, because you

In the show "Downton Abbey", I think in season 1, Maggie Smith (think royal old lady) says, "What's a weekend?" https://youtu.be/zhfpBW-nUWk For very different reasons, we all feel the same now :)

It's amusing (from the comments) how much people are biased towards Apple. 1. Apple does it online, Google does it offline, hence Apple being slower is okay. But why is Apple's transcription more inaccurate then? 2. Google violate

Umm, you do realize that this is basically a DDOS attack, and automated tools are a necessity. What needs to happen is a law/legal process where you can counter sue against false DMCA/copyright complaints, with large penalties for

She (through her investment advisor) sold 0.6% of her portfolio. So the case against her is much weaker, if any at all. If you were insider trading on highly sensitive information, would you sell just 0.6%?

I liked the post overall, but story # 1, taken to an extreme is basically lottery tickets. I understand that this was for the OP's nephews, but to actually apply it in practice, you need at least a rough sense of expected value, whethe

Google absolutely needs to fix their trust problem, but it is also completely wrong to compare support between their paid GCP customers vs their mostly free Android app developers. Fwiw, I recently called Google customer support to fix a bi

How do you get data for walk-ins? Do restaurants share that with OpenTable, regardless of reservation? Is this so that you can remove the table from your inventory, or because you provide their "seating management" software?

This is the killer moat. It's hard enough to build a competent app for 2 app stores and make any money, that developers have no time/energy to build for a third one. Microsoft screwed up badly while they still had the chance by ch
