Stupid troll gets an answer to his dumbass question in every bitcoin thread and yet keeps asking the same dumb fucking question in all the new bitcoin threads.
Depends what you're comparing it against. For same-country transactions? It's not as good as it used to be.
For sending value to someone in another country? It wins on transaction time and cost by a huge margin. And ease of use too because anyone with a computer/tablet/smartphone and an internet connection can set up its own wallet, no need for banks or similar.
Heck, even sending money from Canada to the USA, apart from credit cards or Paypal, is slow and expensive. And we're next to one another and really similar in terms of banking networks, etc.
Some critics argue that the prestige of the Prize in Economics derives in part from its association with the Nobel Prizes, an association that has often been a source of controversy. Among them is the Swedish human rights lawyer Peter Nobel, a great-grandson of Ludvig Nobel. Nobel criticizes the awarding institution of misusing his family's name, and states that no member of the Nobel family has ever had the intention of establishing a prize in economics. He explained that "Nobel despised people who cared more about profits than society's well-being", saying that "There is nothing to indicate that he would have wanted such a prize", and that the association with the Nobel prizes is "a PR coup by economists to improve their reputation". Relatedly, it has been noted that several members of the awarding committee have been affiliated with the Mont Pelerin Society.
The value fluctuates wildly because it's being bought and sold by people, who don't always act logically. It crashed a bit after reaching $10K because a lot of people had sell orders for that price. It's already back up to $11K.
Once lost it cannot be recovered. At least cash can be found and used.
Not cash stored in computers. If someone attacked the country with EMP bombs, they'd wipe a lot of "regular cash" too.
Complaining to their politicians would never have made the front page of international newspapers to raise awareness about the issues surrounding the current tax laws.
All I can find is that Apple charges a different fixed rate for two categories of developers:
Pricing. The Apple Developer Program annual fee is 99 USD and the Apple Developer Enterprise Program annual fee is 299 USD, in local currency where available. Prices may vary by region and are listed in local currency during the enrollment process.
Other than that, there's the fixed 30% fee per app sold.
I don't see any "variable exorbitant fee" anywhere.
I don't know the details of what you said, it's probable Apple are doing exactly what Qualcomm are doing.
Assuming Apple are doing it too, if this the Apple-Qualcomm case goes to court, either Qualcomm will win this making it legal for Apple to screw their developers in the same way, or Apple will win and have to change the fee they ask from developers.
It's the same part that goes different models of iPhones. It should have a fixed price determined by Qualcomm, not determined by the price of the iPhones sold by Apple.
That's how the market works and it's Qualcomm that are in the wrong here. They can charge $50 per chip if they want to, but not "$25 per chip if it goes into an iPhone 8 but $50 if it goes into an iPhone X". Once the chips are sold to Apple they're no longer Qualcomm's property and they have no rights to tell Apple how to use them or change the price after the sale.
No. Apple is pissed that a supplier charges a variable exorbitant price for a part. The part should have a fixed price, independent of the price of the final product.

I'm pretty sure nospam007 read that in Woosh Magazine.
Dude, that's way too much sodium!
There's no need to answer his question again and again in every thread.
If he can't be bothered to read the reply once then surely we won't waste time replying to him every time.
Slashdot really needs to either fix this apostrophe problem or at least convert the character to one it can display when we submit comments.

Financial markets will not "drop everything" to get into crypto-currencies. They'll simply add them to their lists.
You really don't have a clue.

It's a FIXED PERCENTAGE that does not vary with the price of the application being sold.
It would be variable if there was different percentages applied depending on the type of application, the cost of the application, etc.
