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 leas…

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 …

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 …

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 …

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…

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 ter…

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…

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-prof…

Genuine question, from someone that won’t upgrade from their M1 Air: what difference does it make for most users? Where would that extra 50GB/s be felt?

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 …

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 wi…

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 depres…

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 aga…

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 …

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. W…

Ugh… can’t we have something that isn’t commercialized? Yikes.

My god, yes. I had knee and ankle pain while running, then also while walking. Too much padding was allowing me to walk incorrectly. After being ‘prescribed’ flat, flexible, low-st…

This really isn’t helping. Cars are very safe at the moment, with the driver being the key factor in accidents. They are very safe at the current price point. GP was arguing we sho…
