dingdongding··on Epic direct payment on mobile
Yeah I wonder they did a backroom deal with Apple and Google. These backroom deals that Apple/Google are doing is so anti competitive for small app developers and they keep on stressing that they are helping millions of developers. If this is not unfair I don't know what is.

dingdongding··on Facebook Takes $5.7B Stake in India’s Jio
So Facebook paid 5.7 billion dollar to buy "influence" in India. The biggest influencer of India is Mukesh Ambani who has strong influence in Indian politics. Now it will be a matter of months and WhatsApp payments will get regulatory approval to go ahead to launch WhatsApp payments in India. That is the boss move here IMO. Jio is just a way to solve for regulatory hurdles in India.

dingdongding··on Ask HN: How did your startup change after an exit?
Our founding team left or were made to leave by the acquirer. For one year everyone kind of relaxed because we all made money. After that our management team left had no vision because they were bunch of execs hired recently. They lacked innovation and kept beating around the bush and left in 2 years of the acquisition. At this point most of old timers left the company because of lack of innovation or anything to do. I becomes like a graveyard.

No Apple is not capturing most of the revenue from App Store. Their services revenue which is App Store + iCloud + Apple Music is their second biggest revenue stream I think after iPhone. But it still dwarfs in front of iPhone. Though services revenue is growing a lot faster.

You're on hacker news so it is easier for you to say that who falls for this crap. Ground reality is completely different. Lot of young and mature people can fall for this crap. It's like saying who falls for fake news these days. It is gonna be a learning curve for normal people to understand nuances of these scams.

Bill & Melinda have been very active on media in last one month since their 10 tough questions blog post. They are all over the social media with bunch of sponsored/promoted posts on FB/Instagram. And now this Reddit AMA, I am not sure what's the reason behind it but they have stepped up their social media game. There has to be a solid reason behind this uptick. Wonder why?

I wonder if banks will step up and start providing protections. I am not really sure how protections work on PayPal in these scenarios. How does PayPal decide if this is a scam. And if PayPal decides to return money who bears that charge in case scammer already takes the money and closes the account?
