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.

Sorry to hear that. What was the loophole?

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.
