Apple’s own argument is this isn’t true. A “major number of users” have iMessage turned on automatically, but aren’t active users.

If even Apple says iMessage isn’t used by at least 45 million EU citizens… (to qualify for gatekeeper status)

Could it the linked to the age of the plant? When my dad allows the zucchini to grow too long, it’s bitter. At 20 cm it’s much sweeter, and we can easily eat it raw/blanched.

Safari 17 on Sonoma, with advanced tracking protections activated (also outside of Private Windows). I've tried with and without adblockers.

CoverYourTracks tells me I have strong browser protections but a unique fingerprint. In AmIUnique, I've a unique fingerprint too. I can see that Apple's claims to fingerprint-resistance are absolutely bogus, as the websites were able to list my fonts, plugins, etc., all things that should be protected against.

I'm disappointed.

I've tried all my other browsers and, in all of them, my fingerprint remains unique with plenty of information leaking.

Not distributing the equity early on via a notary, relying instead on an agreement. Later on the equity separation was only legally possible via a heavily-taxed mechanism, meaning I could never afford my stake. They kept the equity and I basically had to leave. (Be careful about Belgian laws around equity.)

There are plenty of better researched sources for training plans. This seems like an area where their inaccuracy can cause direct, physical problems.

I really empathize and am glad you pointed this out. I needed specific exercises to fix my abductor/flat left foot, which were wrecking my hip.

Body progress is slow, but it feels wonderful to have something you can control, master, and is directly rewarding.

Kudos for sticking with it :) Good luck and keep building protections around that knee.

Wow, weight lifting is seriously ‘gate-kept’. GP needs to chill, he’s being elitist, and forgetting PTs are super expensive. I followed Stronglifts to 110kg, and just started again after 4 years. It’s fun. It’s easy. You focus on few, simple exercises, so form is easy to do well if you try.

Goodhart’s law at work, or “why you shouldn’t force information workers to chase after arbitrary metrics”. Basecamp has been famously just letting people do good work, on their terms, without KPIs.

I will preemptively agree that this isn’t possible everywhere; but if you create a good work environment where people don’t feel like puppets executing the PM’s vision, they might actually care and want to do a solid day’s work (which we’re wired for).

I’m on the same boat, plus the startup I helped co-found later found a loophole to steal my 20% of equity. Startups are a scam.

Okay, I really don’t know why the M1 feels so amazingly responsive compared to my i7. But is 12.5% loss in memory bandwidth that important for these kinds of tasks? It seems really hard to saturate, say, 100GB per second!

Sadly, it’s not exclusive to the US. In Brussels we might jokingly dismiss the lobbyists and their think tanks, but they fund politicians just the same; but admittedly via non-profits and other more intricate schemes. I’m very proud of some EU accomplishments, but we’re mired in lobbying too.

In the US, we’re talking about a quarter of users. That’s a lot of traffic to lose.

If they stop bundling Music, and possibly lower the cost of YT Premium, it might convert better.

I refuse to defend a trillion-dollar company; but Apple doesn’t prevent you from installing other browsers. It prevents installation of other browser engines. You can already use Chrome and Edge on iOS.

Good article as a rebuttal. One caveat: the comparison between high-speed and conventional rail is overshadowing the privatization/market forces of the operators themselves. HSR will be invariably more expensive to run because the energy costs are much higher, but a lot of that price tag is — I assume — the profit margin of the private company. Public rail can run at cost, but private can’t.

That’s not the point. Data being misused or falling into the wrong hands absolutely has a toll on you. If an abused credit card number hurt me that much while I was fighting depression, anything more sensitive can be even worse.

And also because then users will automatically click “Accept All Cookies” as that’s the highlighted CTA. This reply is only mildly cynical.

No, you’re right; but these 4 countries aren’t even close to the European average on many aspects. Some of them aren’t even part of the EU, which is normally what gets compared against US markers.

I’m guessing it’s arguable, but in the top 25 causes of accidents (in the US), I only found 2 that are linked to the car itself. Cars themselves seem fairly safe.

I know! This and ‘Exercised’ are what got me running. Both excellent, evidence-based books. I run in Altras for the transition, but hope to eventually have the legs for running in something that qualifies for barefoot (rise/stack/flex).

This is nonsense. I’ve had to deal with bills coming in my name because someone got hold of my credit card and address. It’s absolutely stressful and will make you feel helpless. What about people denied insurance because of their Amazon purchases? People with bad mental health being harassed because their data leaked? Doxxing, iCloud hack photo leaks, people affected by leaks of key government IDs, etc.; how are you even suggesting that one shouldn’t worry about their data getting in the wrong hands? What kind of happy feel-good reality do you live in… Ads are the least of one’s concerns when it comes to your personal data.
