    You don’t have a right to do business on Apple’s platform on your terms. You didn’t build it. I also don’t get to decide under which conditions I can publish my music on Spotify.

    Yes. As depressing as the EU regulatory environment is, the cultural atmosphere is worse. Lack of ambition, arrogance, scepticism our outright hatred of success, etc. - makes me sad to see such incredible potential go to waste

    There is nothing inherent in Reddit's business model that prevents it from being profitable. It's a website with community moderation & content. It's just severely mismanaged.

    If you have the consent of the owner it's not piracy. Stealing stuff is bad - I know, controversial opinion but here it is.

    Why? The expectation that you could make a product that's used by billions of people every day without having any negative consequences, is deeply unserious. Are CEOs of car manufacturers confronted with the families of victims of speeding and forced to apologize for their death?

    Haha it also works the other way around. I know a German guy in China who is called Hubertus. He introduces himself as Max to everyone because no one can pronounce or remember his real name

    People who have never built anything, shouldn't be allowed to regulate people who are.

    If you love the fundamentals, but want to improve some specifics, that's healthy (e.g. Arnold). However, if you hate the fundamentals, and want to change several of those, then you're in the wrong place and what Apoorva said applies.

    On what precisely does Apple have a monopoly? On how iPhones work? The idea that you can have a monopoly over how your own product works is a ridiculous idea

    Played 100 hours the month it came out. It was amazing. Just needed a good system to play on.

    No, they use PVD coating. Extremely durable. Same coating as the Apple Watches and they have no such issues of scratches or discoloration.
