Is it some custom pricing plan? I only saw the IAP program with those fees but it’s still a waitlist. Very interested to find a 10% all-in fee on $1-$10 transactions for arbitrary credit card purchases.
Not even per release, which could've been justified by what they said about automated and manual reviews of apps submitted to _third party marketplaces_.
During my previous job, when we were migrating to Kubernetes I couldn’t really find a GUI app that I liked, and most importantly, that could connect to multiple clusters simultaneously. We had 6 clusters and having to switch context constantly was annoying
I ended up building one [1] to use myself, shared with a few people and they loved it. I asked if they’d pay for it and to my surprise, a lot of people said yes. I’ve put up a website and a “pre-order” button with a regressive monthly discount. Sales were going up month after month, and a few months later I decided to quit my job to go all in on it.
Today, I’m averaging on ~€5k/mo from this app, but I’m still doing some part time freelancing, as well as building other products that are not as successful, but are making >€1000/mo
The latest one is open source, privacy friendly analytics for apps [2] that I’m still very actively working on. This is my current “side project” as the previous side project became my main job :)
There’s also an open source upvote site [3] that I started 6 years ago, but haven’t had much time to work on it lately, still generating $$ monthly
Could you please explain how did you make the UI of the application very modern and startup vibe. I am really into UI like that and I have no idea how its built. this is beyond bootstrap UI, is it true?
I geniuely thought after looking at the screenshot, I would need to learn Swift and understand how apps are made in Mac to make an app to look like that.
My background is in Java and C Sharp. Looking at Microsoft UI framework, it does not look at all what you made.
Could you please show a good place to start to make and mock UI like that ? I find your work more interesting since your background appears to be backend/cloud!
Why don‘t they scale up? They seem to have all the regulatory capabilities to get a commercial jet on the market already. I also never understood why e.g. China doesnm‘t just buy Embraer (or take over all their employees) and builds out from a functioning product?
Scaling up would be hard. I think the E2 is a 4 seat across aircraft. It's maximum capacity configuration is already quite long (42m) with ~120-150 seats. A320 is like 38m long with ~200 seats (6 seat across).
Scaling into the A320/737 range would need a brand new design with wider fuselage probably. I'm not saying that Embraer could not do that, but sticking with the E2/A220 size range seems to be a winning combo - until recently (A220), they had no real competition from the big two. Maybe with the more recent weakness from Boeing, Embraer might want to consider a 737/A320 class design, but these things take time.
Also, as much as BRICs is a thing, I don't think Brazil would be too fond of selling Embraer to China.
Scaling the E2 is not the answer, but there is nothing stopping Embraer from developing a six across airframe to compete with the B737 or A320. They have the engineering talent and the supply chain network in place. They have the capital. If they see a market opening, who knows… they just may go ahead.
I guess FB tracking pixels will no longer work when third-party cookies are removed from browsers. That seems like a massive hit for them if I understand it correctly (and a big W for us)
Getting rid of third-party support will mean FB doesn't get anonymous data from random website users - but if you are logged into FB or hit the page from a FB link, it would still be trackable as a first-party cookie.
My default for all browsing is to use Private Safari window and never stay logged in for longer than needed.
Btw, there is hidden Safari setting in iOS, under Advanced at the bottom, “Privacy Preserved Ad Measurement” that was on, for some weird reason. And check and purge Website Data periodically.
I'm in a similar setup for FF on my Mac, but I also have it clear everything on exit. I exit at least every couple of days just to clear things, and sometimes immediately after visiting certain sites just because it makes me feel better while wearing tin foil. It's annoying after every launch causes me to use all of the various 2FAs to log back in, but I just don't trust what all you evil devs have done to the internet.
Ha ha! I get it. But today’s FF is slipping to being worse. Lets see if uBO survives Manifest V3. And don't use DoH, I have a bad feeling about it, http cookies inside DoH are undefined thing.
You say so. It does everything I need, and as far as developing, I much prefer FF DevTools to Chrome and Safari. I only turn to Safari if I need dev tools for an iDevice
The tricky part, though, is that even with your client-side settings and privacy tools set up 100% right, any company that has your info can still send it to Facebook server-to-server, with "Conversions API."
The camera app on my Android phone pings Facebook every time it starts up despite me not having an account to use any of the Facebook integration. Presumably the lib does the same in many other apps.
Don't tracking pixels also work without cookies or Javascript though? If you have an `<img src="example.com/someTrackingPixel.gif">` on your website or app, the server that houses that URL gets a ton of info on you from the HTTP request header data. Less useful without the cookie but still something.
are we really not that identifiable with all of the fingerprinting techniques and what not? the majority of people do not use VPNs to cover their tracks, and most home ISPs don't rotate their IPs that frequently that my tin foil hat suggests that for the non-techie person attempting to foil the IDing, they're IDing them.
Most browser "fingerprinting" methods have a pretty short half-life. The last assessment I read said something like half of the fingerprints were lost within 24 hours.
There are some companies that advertise device fingerprinting for moderation/anti-abuse services, but I have yet to see it in any martech stack. I assume they give lots of false positives and don't distinguish between different users/devices on the same network.
>Most browser "fingerprinting" methods have a pretty short half-life. The last assessment I read said something like half of the fingerprints were lost within 24 hours.
That's absolutely not my experience. Maybe if you use some weird research-level fingerprinting technique, but most fingerprints are just regular old boring stuff - screen and browser viewport size, installed plugins and fonts, browser UA and settings, hardware/gpu quirks, etc[1]. And it doesn't have to be 100% reliable, just reliable enough to track your activity to show you some ads.
[1] as a privacy conscious individual I'm fully aware just viewport size is enough to almost uniquely fingerprint me. I use my laptop screen, with sidebery extension, browser tab bar hidden by user css and sway in tabbed mode. My second computer is less unique, I "just" use sway and firefox with the minimal tab size (that for some reason is hidden must be unlocked in the about:config so it's very rarely used).
The problem is, if you are running a marketing database of millions and and millions of distinct IDs, you have to get into very esoteric fingerprint factors. Anytime you have a driver update or switch devices, you lose the connection in the data.
Doesn't the firefox resistfingerprinting setting fuzz most of these things? I see a lot of misconceptions about it on here when people use amiunique. It will say you are unique but if you look for a historical match there aren't any because you are unique, but also different each time you show up.
This gets lost a lot - just because you can prove uniqueness doesn't mean it's persistent or repeatable. Some of the "uniqueness" factors include things like number of audio devices or battery life.
There's a server side implementation FB offers developers to circumvent some privacy restrictions now being enforced by browsers which doesn't have all the features of the clientside version but is their current workaround. It will improve privacy slightly, but some websites are still gathering as much information about you as possible over the course of a session to try and build demographic information and remarket to you.
