We didn't have the time for the sunset at Haleakalā peak, but the drive was nevertheless beautiful.

∞ Apple No Longer Takes a 30% Cut For P2P Tipping

Published under Mango Paper, Sep 17, 2017

The company has meanwhile softened its tipping policy, allowing person-to-person financial gifts that bypass the App Store's in-app purchase system. Apple normally claims a 30 percent cut from in-app transactions, and indeed the new rules say that app creators can't claim any money from gifts either. The changes are presumably a reaction to the popularity of tipping in Chinese apps, which resulted in a brief crackdown earlier this year, followed by a half-step measure in which tips were possible as in-app purchases.

Note that developers can't take any cut either. This feels like a negotiation result between Apple and Tencent.

∞ Pick a Fight (on Twitter)

Published under Mango Paper, Sep 15, 2017

Really enjoyed this episode of Rework. @DHH is inspiring me to sharing more on Twitter. Combined with iA Writer's advice on how to get started with writing, I think the perfect first step is to write more with 140 characters on Twitter.

I have tried to treat here as a micro blog-ish site and been telling myself don't bother the length, quantity, and quality of the content. But even that scares me away. Twitter doesn't. It's a perfect platform to shout out your thoughts at the moment.

∞ Writing is Our Best Tool to Ease the Pain of Thinking

Published under Mango Paper, Sep 14, 2017

iA Writer on how to get started with writing:

In the meantime, thinking is the best bet to understand what is happening inside us. Writing is our best tool to ease the pain of thinking. Writing still hurts, but it hurts less than thinking. It’s math with words. If you write for five minutes every day, you think for five minutes. This is how you get started. If you write for people you care about, think about them, for them, with them, tell them how you feel—you’ll see that 30 minutes pass in the blink of an eye. And, who knows, maybe, if you write for people you care about, truly, one day, maybe, suddenly, people you don’t know will listen.

This is the best piece I have ever read to explain why we need to write more.
