Google and Apple’s digital stores collect an up to 30 percent slice of the money developers receive when someone purchases their app, pays for a subscription or buys in-game currency.
[...]
Even if I, a loyal Netflix customer, only spend 10 percent of my Netflix watching hours on my iPhone, if I decide to sign up via the app store, then Apple gets a recurring 15 percent cut of my subscription fee. If I buy a new TV, and stop streaming on my phone, Apple still keeps collecting. I’d literally need to cancel and re-subscribe if I decided that I wanted Netflix to get its full money’s worth out of me.

An iPhone has parts manufactured and designed in dozens of countries, but because China finishes the product, it gets an outsized portion of the credit. A better method would evenly distribute credit along the supply chain, so that each country’s trade balance depends on the value of its contributions. This method would cut the U.S.’s trade deficit with China by about 50 percent, according to a recent estimate using 2014 data. [OZ: and increase deficit with South Korea?]

ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) has achieved first light with a new adaptive optics mode called laser tomography [...] It is now possible to capture images from the ground at visible wavelengths that are sharper than those from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. [...] has two adaptive optics modes — the Wide Field Mode and the Narrow Field Mode.

The MUSE Wide Field Mode coupled to GALACSI in ground-layer mode corrects for the effects of atmospheric turbulence up to one kilometre above the telescope over a comparatively wide field of view. But the new Narrow Field Mode using laser tomography corrects for almost all of the atmospheric turbulence above the telescope [...] over a smaller region of the sky.

With this new capability, the 8-metre UT4 reaches the theoretical limit of image sharpness and is no longer limited by atmospheric blur.
