How much does it hurts them? What's the cut?

I see this being repeated over and over, but I'm not really understanding, say an indie Dev makes 500k in revenue in one year, how much is it going to unity? If it is anything below 50k it seems to me like a sweet deal for all the things Unity offers to devs.

There's no shortage of free and good game engines out there, but I guess Unity does offer a lot that those free options don't.

The cut is 500% of revenue, as stated in this and several articles. Read before posting.

Yes. In plenty of places people use bottled water even to brush their teeth.
boycott-israel · 2 years ago
bro I can't tell if you're being sarcastic but your answers make it seem like you're living in a contaminated hellhole and terrified of contact with the local water

it's not a good defense for indiscriminate contamination of water, if that's what you're trying for

It's the opposite for me; I have to move small things away in order to focus on them.

I always joke that if it gets much more worse my arms won't be long enough to hold my phone :-)

So too close and they're out of focus / blurry?

Does VR work for you?

boycott-israel commented on EU suggests breaking up Google's ad business in preliminary antitrust ruling   theverge.com/2023/6/14/23... · Posted by u/HatchedLake721

The goal of antitrust is to make markets more competitive.

If Google left the EU entirely there’d be even fewer competitors in the digital ads space. Depending on the segment Google’s market share would likely go to Bing, Facebook or TikTok.

The EU wants to increase the market competition, but frustratingly antitrust enforcement may not be effective and might even go in the opposite direction.

Opera got sold and the people who used to work there now continue their work at Vivaldi. Love their browser: strong focus on keyboard users, fast, privacy oriented.

Fast and plenty of keyboard shortcuts - but absolutely not privacy-oriented (https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/vivaldi).

It's always worrying (and intriguing) when a small upstart decides to go closed-source when essentially the entire market is open-source.

getting the vaccine again, 6 months after covid, is what fixed it for me.

I don't think prison time is even what's needed here, I think these issues would resolve themselves if corporate fines were continually issued, rather than one-off lawsuits. For instance, a standing ruling that if your printer stops being able to print for no reason other than a contract breach, then the hardware is eligible for a refund.

We don't need to put CEOs in prison for making consumer-hostile decisions, we just need to also make those decisions bad business.

boycott-israel · 2 years ago
This is a surprisingly naive thing to say in the era of a CEO having a fiduciary duty to maximise shareholder-value over the short-term / their tenure (whichever is shorter)
boycott-israel commented on New Orleans teenagers found a new proof of the Pythagorean Theorem   keith-mcnulty.medium.com/... · Posted by u/malshe
jonahx · 2 years ago
I address this in my OP. If you watch the video of the proof, you will see that the "law of sines" is 1 step away from the ratio definition of sin. You just drop one altitude, apply the definition again to the similar triangles, and re-arrange. It is almost content free as a result -- I see no reason using this in a proof would have special significance. For example, the standard proof using similar triangles (https://sumantmath.wordpress.com/2020/08/16/proof-of-pythago...) is implicitly using the law of sines.

The hype part is the implication that impossible trig barrier was shattered by their proof.

boycott-israel · 2 years ago
Not at all - the hype part is that 2 teenagers derived a uniquely elegant proof that other highly-trained mathematicians had thus far failed to do so.

Any other claims seem to have been added by the media, not the teenagers themselves.
