Does anyone know if Y Combinator provides good feedback when sending out rejections . The best way to learn anything is to try , but I want more than ' Better luck next year'

I'm dreaming here, no regulation will take place.

You need to self regulate though and assume all data you give these companies will be sold. At this point unless it's ride sharing , apps don't get my location. If they means I can't use the apps, that's fine.

It wouldn't be the worst thing if tommorow Social Media was effectively banned. It's done enough wrong in the world

Yes!

Shut em all down !

If you can't give a shit about the security of your user's personal information / safety , you shouldn't exist.

Take nothing personally. The good or the bad. Build a community. You NEED friends that you get to hang out with every now and then . This online stuff doesn't count.

One of the more rewarding experiences I had last year was attending Meetups with people significantly older than myself.

The older you get , the harder making friends becomes. It's so bad I'd suggest to comp sci majors to consider a Liberal Arts degree instead if they're having trouble socializing.

>Tinder settled a $23 million class-action age discrimination lawsuit—filed on behalf of some 230,000 people—in January last year, after it was alleged that the company charged users over 30 twice as much for its subscription services. As part of the settlement, Tinder agreed to stop charging people located in California, where the case was filed, different prices based on their age.

If I was King, I'd say this is perfectly fine as long as The Match Group ( Tinder's parent) clearly states the pricing tiers somewhere. My personal opinion is most people are better served by deleting their apps and being more involved in their community.

That said, this is downright illegal in most counties. You can't charge people different prices based on protected classes. It's like having a grocery store charge older people more since they tend to spend more time in the store.

Match's former parent IAC just spun them off. I reckon they know it's about to fall apart.

Anyway, I know I constantly meet better people once I went social media free. I'm much happier as well. Life is too short to spend it talking to bots on an app.

Great work.

If you can get these working as Unity post processing shaders I'd pay for it .

Can you make an official Unity plugin.

This looks interesting, but I'm too lazy to venture beyond Unity in my game Dev journey

Good point. I stand corrected. I still don't think Apple is doing this intentionally, but rather as a side effect of it's ecosystem. Thanks for your insight

Move fast and break things !

I recall once a co worker said they'd never use Android again since it froze when trying to call 911.

Gives Apple more ammo in their fight against Epic, users expect their phones to work , which Apple can't guarantee if anyone can run whatever binary they find.

What if Radio waves simply don't work the same on other planets .

Or one of the first things civilizations figure out is to not broadcast your presence.

Or ... Everyone else in the universe found peace by stopping at the stone age , before all this social media made us miserable.

It's just conjecture, but I imagine aliens exist, but they might not even be in a form re recognize.

Maybe it's been fixed , but when I tired Rocket last year I couldn't get it to really work.

I would like Flutter to take over since it combines the best of Java /C# ( types) with the best of JavaScript/ Python ( dynamic variables which can be any type ).

Rust is too strict imo.

I'm fairly experienced and I still can't throw up an HTTP server in Rust, even with libraries.

I almost can do in with NodeJS and Express from memory.

Something like

app = require('express')

app.listen('/', function ( req, res ){ res.send (' Hi Hn') }) ; It's ok for different languages to do different things.

I can't imagine anyone being faster with Rust than Python or JS. Of course eventually Rust gets a performance boost, but it's never going to matter unless you're talking about a larger scale project.

How many users as a percentage do you think are signing up for IOS services , discarding their IOS devices and then don't have access to a Mac or Windows PC ?

Very few people use Linux as their desktop is. To be honest they should allow you to reply to the email and allow a cancelation, but you following into an edge case isn't deliberate.

Get an alarm with some renters insurance. The security on these cameras are pretty trash. I think Ring got hacked , having strangers watch me all day is a scary thought.

Alright, after returning my iOS device I became Amish.

I fully expect Apple to cancel my subscription via Mail and refund me back dated to when the letter was post dated !

My point is Apple isn't doing this on purpose to you, you're just in a very strange use case

Most providers softcap at 50 to 100 gb .

At best I'd get 10 hours of gaming here.

Don't get me wrong, I want this to succeed. I want to be able to play COD or Halo from anywhere with a 5g connection. But with such high data usage it's DOA

>Unlike streaming movies or music, cloud gaming can consume up to 10GB/hr at 1080p

Jesus Christ.

So of I want to go to game on my phone while I take the bus for an hour I've blown 10gbs from my data plan.

The only thing keeping me on Xbox Gamepass is the fact I can download games locally. At first I really liked it, but then connection dropped so much games where unplayable ( on WiFi )

It's not an intentional trick to force you to keep paying.

The vast vast majority of people have access to a Windows PC or Apple product. How you ended up in this edge case I'll never know.

To take this to it's logical conclusion, what if you don't run JavaScript on your browsers. Would they also need to give you a cancelation page which doesn't require JavaScript.

You can't subscribe without an IOS Device , Mac or Windows PC.

If your in some strange edge case where your subscribing to services and then discarding your IOS devices before canceling , that's on you. In a worst case scenario you could borrow a friend's Windows PC. As much as I love Linux I can't imagine most Linux users don't have at least one windows PC or Mac.

If we really want to get technical, spin up an AWS instance, RDP into it, install iCloud for windows and then cancel your subscription.

Considering Tinder's parent ( The Match Group ) got sued by the FTC for fraud, not very smart to include them. Intentionally making subscriptions hard to cancel is one of the behaviors Apple's payment system seeks to prevent.

As much as I like Tim Sweeney's arguments for lower royalties, he doesn't have half a toe to stand on.

Don't want to pay the Apple tax, make your own phone. This fairness coalition is free to manufacture Android phones with a no royalties store . Hogan's Law on YouTube has done a very good take on this. The government can not compel two companies to engage in a contract. If I set up a newspaper stand and decide anyone who wants to sell news papers needs to cut me in for 30%, you can't demand special treatment.

I could see Apple making an example out of Epic and banning them for life. You don't sneak in hidden functionality, and then flick it on via a server side command
