Great blog post by John Siracusa, distilling much of Apple’s current problem balancing doing good with making money:
Apple, as embodied by its leadership’s decisions over the past decade or more, no longer seems primarily motivated by the creation of great products. Time and time again, its policies have made its products worse for customers in exchange for more power, control, and, yes, money for Apple.

While testing something this morning, I made a careless blunder with one of our servers, causing some sporadic downtime. I’m very sorry. A couple things are slow right now but will be returning to normal shortly.

I don’t think I realized that you didn’t need to be in the EU to distribute apps via AltStore PAL. If Apple relaxes their notarization review in the future, I might use this to ship early iOS builds to the EU.

Bill Gates writes about accelerating his plan to give away his wealth, winding down the Gates Foundation in 20 years:
People will say a lot of things about me when I die, but I am determined that “he died rich” will not be one of them. There are too many urgent problems to solve for me to hold onto resources that could be used to help people.
Funny how people change. In the 1990s, I was a teenager learning to program the Mac while complaining about Bill Gates and Microsoft. Now I admire Bill and complain about Apple.
