> this started in the iOS app store and was "adopted" by Google

I can see prices for in-app purchases in the iOS App Store.


Where? Just checked on every app I've purchased in app unlocks and none of them have any indicator for these unlocks (or others that are still available) on their app store page.

The only way to see them - from my experience which I just verified - is to go into the app and go into the relevant menu's of the apps.

Please explain where you're able to see this information on the app store on iOS or iPadOS


It's in the app store's app listing, just under age rating. It says "in app purchases: yes", which you can expand to show all purchase options.

Is this maybe only available for some regions or opt-in for the developer? I this UX doesn't exist on my devices running on 26.2 in the apps I checked. I just verified again but no luck

/Edit: found it! that is way too hidden - Would never have found that without your explicit mention and gif link!

After exploring some more on the play store too, There is actually a similar UI in the app details there too, it doesn't list all items but the price range (cheapest item to most expensive item). Definitely worse then having all items listed, but both could be improved imo by listing them as repeatable purchases, temporary licenses, forever unlocked etc) for informed consent before install. I'd never install any app which has repeatable transactions for example

That poor Christmas tree. Whatever happened to it?


How are you signing the pass in my browser?

Which other president directed the rounding up of Americans and non-Americans to put them in a camp?



Out of curiosity, do you know if these events get taught in history lessons in American schools? I'm by no means throwing shade here - I'm a Brit and our history lessons barely mentioned the unending list of atrocities Britain committed in the name of empire.


Yepper. Trail of Tears, German/Japanese internment are all primary education topics. Now interestingly, I don't think Bush has made it into the history books yet, but I don't have kids, so can't verify current day education materials.

What I find interesting is the bits we leave out. Like we touch on the Banana Republics, but the annex of Hawaii and how that was skulduggerously done is completely skimmed over.


> German/Japanese internment are all primary education topics.

There wasn't any German internment. White people got a pass.


> There wasn't any German internment

There was, in fact, but the proportion of German (and Italian, also) nationals and citizens of German (and Italian) descent interned was far lower compared to the population of such foreign nationals and citizens than was the case for Japanese nationals and citizens of Japanese descent.

> White people got a pass.

Relatively speaking, yes, but there still were internments, including of US citizens based on German and Italian descent. (But with more individualized review before internment or eviction from coastal areas than was true of citizens of Japanese descent.)



Remind me what the German equivalent of Japan's attack Pearl Harbor was on US soil.


A bit, but it varies some by state and most skip at least some things (do any cover labor struggles in the early 20th century?)

Ours stopped after (an extremely cursory coverage of) the ‘50s and ‘60 civil rights movement because there was no way to cover Vietnam and Nixon and such basically at all without greatly upsetting Republican parents. Anything newer than ~30 years (at the time) was treated as about as handsome-off as religion. Dunno if that’s changed.


TDLR: Very little.


Not true! The AI revolution has led to an explosion in software quality. The amount of fixed bugs and testing that AI-leaders such as MS have achieved is unprecedented. We will look back on this era as the golden age of software quality.


I think that you missed a /s at the end of the post. I can continue it with "Yes, we had an explosion in software quality and it's in shards all over the place."


It was sarcasm, they didn't forget the /s, it was intentional. (I downvote on /s)


> The AI revolution has led to an explosion in software quality

Right, the software quality literally exploded. But, unfortunately, this was before AI. It came roughly at the same time Agile was becoming mainstream


I disagree with "the golden age of software quality". For example, right now, on the front page of HN, is this article, "After Windows Update, Password icon invisible, click where it used to be", https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46116567. I could be wrong, but it feels as if this egregious error is AI workslop?!


Reference? My anecdotal experience so far leads me to believe the opposite.


This is irony. Right? This is irony?


AI boosters pose a bit of a Poe's Law problem; the poster here is probably joking, but also there almost certainly exist AI boosters gullible enough to actually believe something similar to that.


Sarcasm, not irony.


Did she share the same DOB?

The people reading this are techies. Nobody else will do this. Either it should be built into the protocol, or the advice should be abandoned.


One line is convoluted?


It's convoluted that it's a sed-style regex operating on textual headers instead of just ... an option to add a header
