No.

When you buy an app
You pay $1.00
Apple gets $0.30
Developer gets $0.70

When you refund an app
You get $1.00 refund
Apple refunds NO MONEY
Developer pays $1.00

So, the developer has effectively paid $0.30 to Apple, when a user gets a refund.

You misunderstand.

When you buy the app for $1
You pay $1.00 (perhaps more with taxes)
Apple gets $0.30
Developer gets $0.70

When you get a refund for that app.
You get $1.00 refund
Apple keeps $0.30
Developer pays the full $1.00

I'm not sure why this is news now. I recall this being brought up/discussed way back when Apple first permitted refunds (as initially, they didn't).

Really? When faced with paying reparations for sexual abuse, the Vatican's policy is "money only flows one way, to the Vatican". Any payments for sexual abuse must be paid for by the local parish. Effectively, the local victims are to pay themselves for having a sexual predator assigned to them.

But they are all stupid, because they don't permit their citizens to just walk around with AK47s whenever they want. Their citizens are being slaughtered by the millions and the gov't just lets it happen.

I read it on Breitbart, so it must be true. And Trump retweeted it. Fact!

Unfortunately, that side of the business is also money-losing.

It is unclear if any aspect of their business is actually profitable. Perhaps they could offer the services of their corporate espionage department to others?

That's who will put together your next satellite...some people who graduated community college, watched a couple youtube video's where some other kids cobbled together some bits of metal and put it in a box that was shot into space, and then announce "That doesn't look so hard", and proceed to make your satellite.

We are going to risk the future of the company by giving huge bonus to executives, cutting half or more of all employees and demanding that the remaining employees make up the difference.

It is still undecided if the remaining employees get a 10 or 20% pay cut.

They are going after Ikea as well.

He better hope there are no stray oxygen molecules hanging around when he ignites a rocket that blasts him through the hydrogen-filled balloon.

Of course, there will nobody around to say "Oh, the humanity."

Just say "It's really complicated, you wouldn't understand."

Dell doesn't patch their bugs. They just sell upgrades.

It did. There's a giant fork stuck in it.

Nobody is claiming it is more secure. It is more convenient to use your fingerprint/face to unlock your phone, while being reasonably secure.

And this article seems to be just about facebook checking that a person is using the device, vs a bot, not that a specific person is using the device.

Of course, it doesn't apply to Trump's personal businesses, as they make ample use of the TFW program, because it's cheaper to get Mexican's to do the work vs paying what American's need to eat & live in the US.

I don't know why, other than "Because we can", but the buses here in Edmonton, AB are allowed to leave their timed stops up to 5 minutes early. And somehow, Edmonton Transit can only "try" to reduce how early buses will leave.
