> Mignori is a client for Image Board websites (we informally call “Boorus”). These image boards are popular in the anime community, although there can be image boards for anything you can think of. I just googled this, found some references to the anime image boards. Most were Hentai / Porn. If the main purpose of an app is viewing adult content, its main purpose is viewing adult content - even if you have to add th…

They could have pulled his (and his users) UIWebView caches up into Apple HQ to see what it’s really being used for, but it’s all speculation until they make a public accusation (which they might not do if they don’t want to reveal their manner and methods).

Supermarkets already exist that don't accept cash (in NL at least)

AH also doesn't accept credit card. Not sure what non-locals are supposed to do if they don't have a maestro card. I guess there aren't many non-locals at the moment, but it must be weird for cash-accustomed Germans visiting.

AH?

Cash is already going away in some countries. Almost nobody pays for anything with cash in the UK anymore.

The only people I pay with cash are my cleaner and my son's allowance. And even for the allowance I'm thinking of just getting him a bank account instead. My favourite cheese shop used to only accept cash, but the owner retired. Beyond that, the only thing I need cash for is to give to homeless people. I think they're the main group losing out due to the switch to electronic payment; the can't afford the equipment fo…

The pan handlers in London have touch oay machines connected to their phone, you can just contact less ly give money. The upside is that the excuse "I have no change" , no longer works.

There's such a thing as antitrust laws you ancap, they don't even need to have a monopoly.

Hi dang. I was wondering why other people can downvote my comments anonymously, but I'm not afforded the same opportunity?

Habits formed on SO would lead me to comment on anything I was downvoting anyway, but it feels like something of an imbalance that deters me from active participation in some conversations -- see my comments on the recent thread about SSC deleting the blog.

Edit: I also can't edit my reply to the parent of this, and regret my reciprocation of the name-calling... I wouldn't editorialise this out, just identify that it's an example of unhelpful behaviour.

Sorry but that makes zero sense. Monopolies like these kill the free market, kill competition, kill innovation and by that they hurt the end-users and the whole economy. No one benefits from this current situation except Apple. That's why antitrust laws exist, to prevent exactly this type of behavior.

I agree with you 75%. > No one benefits from this current situation except Apple. This isn't true. See top comment, but all the FAANGs and their smaller siblings benefit in the exact same way. The problem is systemic, and it starts with lobbying and disparity of legal standing between corporations and individuals.

I obviously (at least it was my intention) meant: "No one but big corps" (and I include their subsidiaries, sidekicks and wannabes into that). Countries don't, societies don't, not even science or economy, and especially not customers and makers.

I can’t do anything on SO besides favorite because of not having enough karma/points. SO is another bad example like HN in ways you’re having issues with.
