We're prototyping an MCP for RevenueCat. The goal is to provide an onramp for developers to setup their integration, add new product etc. w/o having to leave their dev environment. Still ways to go but initial results are very cool.

I'm sure Apple wants to do the right thing but they've set themselves up badly from the top down in this case: Tim Cook has been promising (and delivering) services revenue and subscriber count growth since 2016. If your employer says services revenue growth is the most important thing, people do respond to incentives even if they're aware of it or not.

I'm also sure they're aware of this and hopefully we'll see improvements soon. (no insider knowledge, just good old hopeful thinking)

Theoretically, this could be fixed by making the cost of votes expressed as a percentage of your income and/or wealth.

Some european countries like Switzerland are applying this principle to traffic tickets. It's not uncommon for rich people in fast cars paying few hundred thousand dollars for a speeding ticket.

they use antennas with a special amplifiers to detect electrical field changes caused by lightning strikes. Since they know where these antennas are they're able to triangulate the lightning strikes using the time delta between stations.

If you setup a lot of microphones to pickup gunshot sounds, you should be able to triangulate them as well. I would guess that you would need many more stations though, since acoustic signals don't propagate as well electrical signals.

somebody could do something bad to your food in a restaurant too, you know?

Interesting and apt use of Steve Jobs's truck vs. car analogy at the end:

"Maybe Windows needs to be more like GMC, the part of GM that only makes trucks (and truck-based SUVs). After all, while many people choose to use a truck for basic transportation, they're really designed and optimized for work. You know, as should be Windows."
