Can you look into integrating with private book repositories like Calibre? Also, many books on Archive.org are scanned PDFs (usually as images). This would need OCR probably. Would this work with them ? I feel that this would be most useful with old books where the text is not easily searchable, citations are not convenient, or definitions need lookups.
> But seriously, how it the Government supposed to regulate how much computing power you use, its a ridiculous idea.
Same way we saw runaway power consumption from Bitcoin miners. Every gold rush brings with it pressure on resources and both direct and indirect impact on others.
Don't have the link anymore but it's pretty simple, I'm sure you can even do it with a bash script. Generate .ly files with scores whichever way you want, convert them to png via lilypond cli, then generate flash cards containing references to those images
Apple TV+, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple News, and iCloud+ will outpace the Appstore as they gain traction. They just have to ensure that they maintain quality.
There is no way that happens unless mobile game monetization is so severely regulated that studios switch gears entirely. Remember 70% of revenue of the App Store comes from games.
> Signage and discovery are a joke. The App Store is littered with garbage, and even when you search for an app by name, you often get unrelated apps for pages and pages before the real app.
That's what you get by making it is easy for anyone to develop and release apps. It is a very low barrier of entry. Almost anyone sitting at home can make an app and release it. If they release garbage to game the system and Apple blocks it, then there cries of draconian policies.
Imagine the garbage that you will have to wade through when sideloading is forced upon them.
No, it's because Apple sells the signage so that when people search for XYZ they instead get an ad for QQQ. The number of apps on the market has nothing to do with this. It's a monopolistic abuse. The only way to sell your apps is on a controlled platform where people with marketing dollars can put their name on top of yours when people search for your exact title.
Good news! You can still only use Apple's app store, and not worry about this supposed garbage that will be everywhere. Because Apple will still be curating and vetting all the apps in their store, you have nothing to worry about.
Not when Microsoft makes their own App Store and moves their apps to it, then Meta, Epic, TikTok, X (Twitter), Netflix, Amazon, and you get the idea. It's going to be just like the streaming video mess that we have now.
Having no Buyers is politics. Reforms in farm law which would have opened up markets for farmers were repealed because of politics and protest by vested interests.
Having no buyers is economics. The supply vastly exceeded demand. There were no buyers, private or otherwise because there was glut. Telangana is an arid region. The recent jump in rice production is thanks to the new irrigation projects in the state.
The scrapped farm laws were ill-considered and I'll framed. Fun fact: Both, the Produce Trade and Commerce Act and the Agreement on Price Assurance Act expressly barred the jurisdiction of courts in entertaining disputes relating to farming disputes and instead gave authority to the local Collector to arbitrate. That's blatant and shameless executive overreach. And that's not even going into the fact that these Union laws intrude on what is explicitly a State subject.
