I didn’t read anything on the 30% for apps downloaded this way. Do you still have to offer IAP or is that optional if your app was downloaded from the web?

It only makes sense for businesses to pass on the cost of the platform tax to consumers. It isn't sustainable to take a 30% hit to your margin unless your business was solely built on that given platform from day 1.

So long as we, the consumer, allow this to happen businesses like Apple and Google will continue to do it.

Apple says the Vision's device weight is 600–650 grams and Meta says its Quest 3 is 515 grams. The Vision is between 85-135 grams heavier despite there not being a battery on the part that you wear.

Anecdotally and in my experience, there have been many complaints about fatigue for the Quest, and I wonder if Apple will be able to get away with more premium materials in the future versions. It seems like there will be a big tradeoff between adoption and the materials used.

Vision isn't out, but I am curious what V2 looks like and/or a version that optimizes to comfort.

There is a clear problem, and a good idea here. (i.e. Right to Try) What needs to happen to make this move forward?

I am getting so mentally exhausted learning about a specific problem, and then experiencing the helplessness of not knowing how to push on driving towards some mutually agreeable resolution.

Add in the fact that there is no way to seemingly coordinate the push towards a resolution. Individuals taking action without coordination feels just the same as taking no action at all. Are there any tools to coordinate the push and keep track of progress?

What is the short version that describes what problem this might solve for a user?

They are not exactly trimming 'fat'. This latest round had numerous people who were getting high marks and even AE. There is some meme going around that this was a performance based layoff and it absolutely was not.

Aluminum soda cans are actually lined with plastic. So either way you are going to be consuming soda from plastic.

AR/VR is inevitable. I find it astonishing that there are so many naysayers on HN, a community that in its early days embraced technology innovation. Today's VR (and even AR via Mobile Phones) is primitive, sure, but the same could be said about desktop computers before the transition to mobile ever was an idea?

I expect more comments on how to influence this technology versus dismissing it as not applicable for the human race.
