  • Scaling a well written system just requires throwing more hardware at said system. Yeah, you could tune it and tweak it, but that isn’t an ongoing and constant process.

    Okay yeah, this conversation obviously isn't going anywhere if you think the solution to scaling into hundreds of millions of users is just throwing hardware at the problem lol.

    Can you tell me that last major feature added to the Play Store?

  • Yeah, hundreds is probably a low guess but I'm also excluding Android itself. There Play Store itself has a ton of features most of its end users aren't aware of that are important to it's overall operation and development ecosystem. Off the top of my head it does things like code signing and authentication, security scans, governance and enforcement of rules, payment processing, etc.

  • How much R&D went into creating the Google Play store? Probably 100s of millions of dollars so far over the course of about 15 years. Do you not know what R&D is or something? In the US tax code, software development is considered R&D.

    And yes, I am a software developer.

  • A non-binding resolution is a motion adopted by a deliberative body that does not enact a law or a substantive rule, and is simply used to make known what the opinions of that body are in relation to a certain fact or event.

    Yes, basically a pointless waste of time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-bindingresolution
