The problem is that we place a responsibility on competition in the market to favor consumers by reducing prices and preventing companies from having excessive margins. Allowing a single marketplace means there's no competition, and we're not sure if 15% is a fair rate at all.

I could make the assertion that I'd be able to provide everything that Apple does, but with a much lower cut, but this can't be put to the test because there's no way for me to start another app store that iPhone users can access. I suspect a lot of the arguments for the 15% cut will change once we have alternate app stores offering the same things Apple does, but with a much lower cut. You'll then see app developers with skin in the game, and we'll know if everyone actually really thinks Apple does this better or if they'd rather have the extra money from other app stores.

That was a bad way to make the point, because you could serve five orders of magnitude higher with PHP, or node or go or python or pretty much any language right now.

On top of that, You don't need massive k8s infra for any other framework either, so it isn't really a selling point for PHP itself.

I second the channel recommendation, it is a perfect watch for people interested in hands on building.

Syncthing now supports untrusted encrypted nodes, and it's fairly reliable.

How I do this: * Create a unidirectional push only sync between the phone and a remote * Remote has a cron that syncs to backblaze regularly, and deletes from the server (this does not affect the phone) * Delete from the phone whenever I want

Have you checked out the new EBS gp3 disks? Throughout vs cost is much better on those than gp2, and also cheaper than Provisioned IOPS

Ouch.

> Nothing in GP's comment suggests that women should spend their twenties finding a husband, nor that they shouldn't do the things you just mentioned.

That is in fact exactly what the comment seems to suggest, in these lines.

> as opposed to when you were in your 20s (when the woman should be finding a potential husband

room500's response was exactly what I had in mind too, when I was reading the parent comment.

It very much feels like the GP had something specific in mind for "high-quality" that insinuates that caring for someone else's children is not a high quality thing to do.

I believe that quality is not what they are showing when they focus the comment on what women "should be doing", or if they're still seeing it as "someone else's kids".

The author is Raymond Chen, and the blog is probably the single most influential blog on windows internals. He has decades of amazing posts that are well worth a read.

I think there's two real issues here:

* Apple does not allow other App Stores on their platform

* Apple does not allow other payment processing or even instructions on where you can purchase things outside of their platform. This reduces even big players like Netflix to just throw up a message that says "You can only use this if you're a memeber", rather than give users a helpful link where they can purchase a membership outside the app.

Neither of these are things that Android does, so the case against Apple is significantly stronger.
