Very few people know how apps make money.
Fewer understand that Apple is a piece of shit for pulling the absolutist, crappy move called ATT which crippled the industry.
Here's a simplistic explanation on how millions of app developers monetise in the ~$100B app ads market:

The larger an org grows, the more it becomes important to sell the work & getting credit for it over actually doing the work.

I'm procrastinating tonight so I'll share a quick management tool I use. It's close to the end of H1 so performance reviews are coming. I tell this to my reports: "Your work is going to be distilled into a story, please help me tell a good one so I can represent your work well"

Sigh. 1.6 Kg of CO2 = 3.5 Kw/h with the US generation mix, so to consume that in a half hour implies that end-to-end streaming consumes 7000 watts, which is off by well over an order of magnitude. We can quibble about accounting with 2x, but 10x is just BS.

You have to feel for Netflix; an episode of The Crown costs them £10m and they’ve just been outdone by #Newsnight who bought a bottle of water and moved some furniture...

Just been asked to leave the @RoyalOperaHouse for wearing my #PeoplesVoteNow T-shirt. Good luck getting #Europe’s best opera performers after we’ve crashed out. #brexit

UPDATE: I'm pleased to say that the @RoyalOperaHouse have reiterated the fact that all are welcome. They've acknowledged that the incident should not have happened and have reminded all security guards of the ROH's value of inclusivity.
