The tech giant, which has around 800 full-time employees in the country, has recommended that some employees resign, but Korean labor law makes it difficult to dismiss workers without just cause. A labor law firm stated that recommended resignation occurs when an employee resigns at an employer's suggestion, but employees often refuse due to the uncertainty and difficulty of finding new employment.

Apple is allowing developers in the European Union to offer iPhone apps for direct download from their websites, rather than solely through the App Store. This move follows new regulations that require tech giants to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA). In order to distribute iOS apps directly, developers must meet criteria set by Apple and agree to new EU business terms, including a core technology fee. Web distribution offers an alternative to App Store distribution and marketplace apps, which allow developers to run their own app stores on iOS.

Why Mean People Fail

Medial
Paul Graham's essay Mean People Fail argues that the most successful people tend to be kind rather than mean. While meanness is common, it is rarely found among top founders, as it makes people irrational and ineffective. Startups thrive by innovating, not fighting. Mean founders struggle to attract and retain talented employees, which is essential for success. Furthermore, founders driven by a desire to improve the world often outperform those solely motivated by money. Graham suggests that as the world shifts from zero-sum to creative, idea-driven industries, kindness increasingly becomes a competitive advantage.
