We're prototyping an MCP for RevenueCat. The goal is to provide an onramp for developers to setup their integration, add new product etc. w/o having to leave their dev environment. Still ways to go but initial results are very cool.

I'm sure Apple wants to do the right thing but they've set themselves up badly from the top down in this case: Tim Cook has been promising (and delivering) services revenue and subscriber count growth since 2016. If your employer says services revenue growth is the most important thing, people do respond to incentives even if they're aware of it or not.
I'm also sure they're aware of this and hopefully we'll see improvements soon. (no insider knowledge, just good old hopeful thinking)
Theoretically, this could be fixed by making the cost of votes expressed as a percentage of your income and/or wealth.
Some european countries like Switzerland are applying this principle to traffic tickets. It's not uncommon for rich people in fast cars paying few hundred thousand dollars for a speeding ticket.
Really? I'd argue 1% of my income making minimum wage is far less disposable and than a 1% of the one percents salary. And so I would be far less inclined to buy more votes.
Then taking your Euro analog, is it right/fair to make someone pay more (even say in proportion to their salary) than any other person for a vote?
Who decides how much I should pay for my vote? Is it based on current salary? Because if it is there are a whole load of very rich people who technically have a very small salary. Is it based on net worth?
Sounds like a nightmare to me.
they use antennas with a special amplifiers to detect electrical field changes caused by lightning strikes. Since they know where these antennas are they're able to triangulate the lightning strikes using the time delta between stations.
If you setup a lot of microphones to pickup gunshot sounds, you should be able to triangulate them as well. I would guess that you would need many more stations though, since acoustic signals don't propagate as well electrical signals.
Interesting and apt use of Steve Jobs's truck vs. car analogy at the end:
"Maybe Windows needs to be more like GMC, the part of GM that only makes trucks (and truck-based SUVs). After all, while many people choose to use a truck for basic transportation, they're really designed and optimized for work. You know, as should be Windows."
Spot on. One should also keep in mind that when photography was something new and rare people also took it very seriously and didn't smile in the 'western' world. If you only get relatively few number of pictures taken over the course of your life you want to leave a respectable impression for the future generations. I'm not sure about how wide-spread and available photography is in NK but that might also have to do with this.
EPUB format is HTML based. I don't think if would be very hard to get this working on e-readers as long as there is an input method and you don't mind the slow refresh rate of e-ink.
