“36% cut of safari deal”

is very different to

“Google pays 36 percent of its search advertising revenue from Safari to keep its search engine set as the default in Apple's browser”

The former implies some sort of fixed cost arrangement.

The latter implies a revenue share based on traffic and volume of advertising. It could even include all search revenue for ads displayed in Safari via Google owned ad networks - even if the ad placement did not originate from a google search.

This summary literally strips out the most important part 😂

Google's default search deal with Apple is worth so much to the search giant that Google pays 36 percent of its search advertising revenue from Safari to keep its search engine set as the default in Apple's browser, Bloomberg reported.

Classic case of design by committee.

I see why they are “former” Apple designers.

I agree with this in principle.

However this would only make Apple stronger and android weaker.

Apple already does 6 years of updates, whereas android manufacturers are lucky to provide 2 years. Imposing such terms of android manufacturers will make them leave the market - thus reducing competition.

The alleged is probably more a policy thing.

Like where does the organisation draw the line between “obviously guilty” and “obviously not guilty” - there has to be a bar set somewhere. And right now, it is the legal definition.

This is the interesting thing about looking hot. It brings its own host of problems; serious problems they aren’t really acknowledged by society at large because of apparent privilege.

Using this same logic, Hamas must not want Israel gone; because they are still there

One touches children. The other does not.

It’s probably near carbon neutral as each dead person removes a lot of carbon load.

Bad people can do good things. And good people can do bad things.

The technology and drive to get this rate of growth is amazing.

Probably so people click the link more often to find out what it’s about - which Musk then can take to publishers and say “look how much traffic we generated for you”
