This appears to be a huge boon, due to the fact that developers can now send their external marketing directly to their own online landing/checkout pages. Apple appears to be only charging commission for traffic sent there and that checks out within 7 days of clicking the in app link.

In other words, a developer can have a Facebook ad or similar go directly to the checkout page and buy the app there, bypassing the app store commission for traffic the developer is bringing to the app store themselves. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on this.

This being the case, any recommendations for carts / processing services / etc that would be ideally positioned for this kind of use are MASSIVELY welcome!!!


So there were long term human trials done like with actual vaccines?


Are you talking about the COVID vaccines that now have little over seven and half billion administered doses worldwide?

Those are likely the most tested vaccines in history.


The most effective marketing copy is often written at a 5th grade level. Some who have studied copywriting have found the reverse correlation between sales figures & grade level to be the highest of anything they could measure in terms of the copy itself.


They used to call keeping your personal life separate from work "being professional". Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here... don't most companies hire people to do a job, not to flaunt who they are in their private lives in a distracting manner?


wow. do you think people of color should somehow separate their skin & culture as to maintain 'professionalism' in the office? you can not 'separate' race just as you can't separate ones gender or sexual orientation. it is simply a fact and truth of that persons existence.

the mere existence of us queer people is not flaunting anything. the expression of our true selfs does not 'flaunt' and thinking it's some kind of attack on 'professionalism' is just backwards.

my life is not distracting, just as your life is not.

a non white person.

Wait, I think you’re misunderstanding a bit. The culture of professionalism ALREADY inherently represses non-straight people (and allows straight people privilege to be who they want). For example, men suits women dresses. There is no culture of professionalism that I know of that gives the privilege to all people. Like a dress code would be fine if it wasn’t obviously biased towards certain culture standards (in this case, western/white, straight).

Edit: to put it another way, professionalism in the case of clothing for example would be more fair if there could be a professional qipao, or professional burka, rather than only a professional western option aka the suit.


Great job. I could scarcely describe the failures of multiculturalism better if I tried.


what?!?! you have clear bias so this is pointless. A descriptive - factual - term has nothing to do with excluding one race or class of people.

I'm gay. That does not mean that every non gay man is excluded ffs


Yes. I am so sick of hearing straight people talking about their spouses and children in a professional context.

Political correctness has reached such extremes that we were expected to make contributions to a gift for one of my straight colleagues after he announced to the whole team that his opposite sex partner was pregnant. I really wish people would keep their sexual predilections to themselves.

Sorry, I thought the sarcasm would be obvious.

I’m not irritated by my straight colleagues talking about their families.

You, however, seem to have a problem with your gay colleagues talking about theirs.

As a side note, quite a lot of straight people are irritated by the fact that straight sex can mean more than just erotic pleasure (hence the popularity of contraception).


[flagged]


You seem to find gay relationships more erotic then most actual gay people do :)


It seems the lenses are sufficiently spaced that it’s not really an issue. Also the ridges themselves are quite slippery, and don’t tend to cling onto dust.


From the abstract:

> we reveal a simple and robust scaling law that captures the temporal and spatial spectrum of population movement

They throw around the word "temporal", but it's not clear exactly how they incorporate the time element without taking the plunge on the full study.


In the frequency of visitation, so that sentence seems to be a bit confusing.


We need to let all these guys out as soon as possible so they can take up the reigns in the fledgling new Afghan government.


Downvoters FYI: the Taliban government includes four ex-Gitmo detainees.

https://news.yahoo.com/taliban-five-guantanamo-bay-afghan-13...


The article clearly explains that they’re weren’t random Gitmo detainees, rather notorious ones that were negotiated in a prisoner swap.

If the remaining ones are equally horrible people, surely the USA could bring actual charges against them, instead of indefinite imprisonment?


Nonetheless it was a monumental screw up of justice no bureaucrat wants to repeat in any form.


How many have returned to terrorism? Is there a reliable source documenting this?


Don't conflate the Taliban with jihadist groups. The Taliban were the government of the country we invaded, not "terrorists."



One in your shoes may ask oneself: "why would the US military invade a country whose government was actually a cooperative ally, rather than an enemy?"


Ah, so being a Guantanamo victim is all their fault again?


[flagged]


If they joined any terrorist network they’re would have been convicted.

As for your constitution - it only matters within US and is void elsewhere. Victims of Guantanamo had been kidnapped outside the US.

If there was any evidence against them, we would know by now.

How long have you been a nazi sympathizer?


Evidence like intelligence gathered from their interrogation being used to locate UBL?

Do you actually expect anyone to believe that the Jews and the Jihadis are on the same side?


There is no such intelligence. You’re mindlessly repeating US propaganda.


What I heard from the mouth of the guy who interrogated and discovered it, who was persecuted by us law enforcement agencies and news rags, must have just been “US propaganda”.


Really cool resource. Small nit: the time in the upper right hand corner being off by an hour is killing me (not literally).


Even predicted the acquisition by apple!

#2 was also more prophetic than many here will want to admit.

#7 predicted facebook's "fact checking" operations.


How about Discourse as a solution for #27? Seems to be doing well.


It may be; I don't know enough about it.

I wrote these a while ago... should've dated them.


what did you use to do the ASO?


I used the free version of App Annie, and did a bunch of experimentation on the title, subtitle and keywords that I entered into the app store.
