That definitely matches my experience. I spend so much more time re-writing existing songs than I did when I was younger. It used to be almost entirely creating new material and mo…

When a human recalls something from memory, the process of remembering itself alters the memory. It's an analog process. So a human creating art, code etc. based on their knowledge…

I'd think it's more comparable to compression. No one would argue that a jpeg or mp3 file can't contain a reasonable representation of the original because it is smaller.

That does not link to a real Michigan government site. Completely fake. Nothing to see here but a tweet of a GIF of a fake website, probably by a fake Twitter account.

I understand what you are saying and agree that algorithmic manipulation is a problem. I think it's very profitable for these companies and people can be manipulated by it. I still…

It was a good explanation of some issues with current social media platforms. But I don't think that ad driven business models and algorithmic content manipulation are the biggest …

Thanks for sharing. It doesn't seem to work well in Safari on desktop or iOS. Seemed to connect but if you make the video larger than thumbnail or fullscreen it either doesn't show…

Yep. Search is terrible. I don't see how the app store search ranking is so irrelevant, especially after the "clean up". How can crap like this get in the store at all. I recently …

I've had the understanding that subscription isn't an option for most types of apps. Auto-renewing subscriptions are only allowed for content or services. And non-renewing subscrip…

I think the biggest issue is you switched to using credits. That and you've only let this play out for 20 days. People can take quite a while to evaluate an app and decide to purch…

PayPal has pretty clear direction and limits regarding crowdfunding. https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/lifecycle/crowdfun...

That was a lot of analysis that seems pretty useless to me. What action would you take based on that information? I know that my photos get more likes if I use hashtags. If I don't…

Can you offer any more detail on what you were specifically forbidden from doing? Is it that you aren't allowed to offer updates outside of the App Store to App Store purchased app…

Perhaps. It's an interesting theory. I've seen it claimed in the past that Apple has given explicit permission to activate in app purchasable features through other means such as c…

As I said in my other response it seems likely Apple won't allow these upgrade schemes any more than they are allowing Omni to do upgrades around the App Store. Why would they bloc…

The drawbacks are pretty significant. A lot of users really aren't that savvy or motivated to register ahead or deal with some complicated upgrade process. If you have an app that'…

How do you propose accomplishing (3) that isn't a difficult confusing mess for users and verifies they are indeed an owner of the n-1 version?

How frightening what a bit of water can become inside your helmet in zero gravity due to surface adhesion. I was thinking of Chris Hadfield's water wringing experiment while readin…

First, thank you for continuing to participate in this discussion. I think you are bringing some different perspective and make some good points. > I agree, whistleblower protectio…

Firefox on OS X is remarkably better in the past year. I ditched Chrome many months ago because Firefox now is better with memory and remaining quick and responsive than Chrome for…
