On: Apple Should Open a Seattle Office

[tlercher]

People UK, Asia or Germany also may be interested in working for Apple… (As Example Microsoft, Adobe, Google AND Apple [mostly Retail/Administration no engineering] having Offices in Munich)

Google as Example has large a HQ in Zurich, Microsoft as explained above in Munich.

This Blogpost seems to me to be a call for more decentralized operations in engineering.

They can.

[MAS = Mac App Store, nMAS = non-Mac App Store]

The only (okay two) way that is impossible to do is: MAS ➜ MAS (and nMAS ➜ MAS)

but:

non-MAS ➜ non-MAS: via serial in the store MAS ➜ non-MAS: Receipt Validation (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/releasenotes/General...)

the last one is rarely used by Developers… 1Password is one, that allows you to buy it in the MAS, and use at least their Beta-Builds.

That many developers use the MAS as an excuse, for not providing any upgrade paths at all… is a very silly solution to a problem that many Developers/Companys face (to make permanent profit) at the cost of customer satisfaction.

A paid upgrade for store MAS ➜ non-MAS is forbidden by Apple. Omni already tried that [1].

No IPv6 support?

[cpeterso → tlercher]

There's an open issue for IPv6 on GitHub: https://github.com/fiorix/freegeoip/issues/21

Gotta spend some time on that...
