Is the end game to force regulation on everyone (Google, etc) and then switch to a Costco model themselves?

I wonder if the same dynamics, if it exists at all, apply to Big Tech alum.
I understand the "WebKit wrapper" for iOS criticism and do want different rendering engines available (e.g. Firefox's) and yet...
The worse thing about Firefox for iOS is the wrapper part, not the lack of rendering engine choice part. The UI of Firefox on iOS is inconsistent and buggy, and syncing doesn't sync well, etc. I doubt using FF's own rendering engine instead of WebKit would help the situation, as it'd drain engineering resources away from making the "wrapper" more usable.
I've always used Firefox, on Mac, Linux, Windows, Android, everywhere I can, but I find myself using it less and less on iOS... and it's not because of the rendering engine!
But since this change for the DMA will allow FF to use its own rendering engine (in the EU), hopefully maybe it'll reenergize the development of FF and improve the "wrapper" part more - even for non EU users!
Interestingly, there’s currently a grid alert (not yet an emergency alert to every phone, TV…). I think that’s the third evening time grid alert in a row.[1]
There’s only 210 MW from wind currently, and obviously no solar (10956 MW total generation, 11407 MW total load, importing 451 MW from BC and Saskatchewan at 7:47 MST). [2]
But there’s supposed to be more gas generation coming online this year (2,700 megawatts)! [3]

I didn't see much comments regarding how "Mandatory DMARC basically breaks all e-mail forwarding services" [3] for everyone, even those who are using alumni or other legitimate forwarding services.

For water heaters, this was helpful to me once: http://waterheatertimer.org
It is not a pretty site (author only knows of HTML tables?), but for me it fulfilled the:
> Somebody took a whole lot of know-how about [x], organized it, published it online
The site at first looks like just affiliate links, but has a lot of useful info buried like:

Did you mean Karpathy's tinyllamas? [1][2]

It's the worse case then, and she'd have to change/remove her email from her Apple ID [1].
Apple should do better and make it easier in this kind of case. They already allow one to deregister a phone number from iMessage via a web page, how hard could it be for them to do the same for an email...
I was under the impression it’s [1] possible but I’m away from my Mac to check.
Worse case one could change one’s Apple ID’s email.
Apple should make this stuff more obvious though
Given that she is in such a situation though, I’m just trying to be helpful by offering some hopefully useful info.
Deregister iMessage on your iPhone or online: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203042
Direct link for convenience (scroll down to “No longer have your iPhone?”): https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage/
Edit: oh I see, the problem is with having the email registered with iMessage.
See “Change iMessage settings in Messages on Mac” [1] and scroll down to “You can be reached for messages at”:
Open the Message app on the laptop and click the checkbox to deregister the email.
Or she can change her Apple ID email address online [2] to some other one, which would deregister the email from iMessage.

The CACM article discussed here at the time (just 3 months ago!): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37275676
The relevant paper is https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.03456 and an improvement here https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.05279
I wonder if this will become standard curriculum for undergrads sooner rather than later. It's apparently a very simple and approachable method.
I wonder if there’s a standard data set that’s reasonably like that? A common crawl of baby books and parents speech commonly heard by babies...
oh well... Wish I had found your bookmarklet editor when I was trying to use them on Android before!
Of all people, Lee would never say to practice 10,000 times in exactly the same way ... and definitely wouldn't suggest doing so 10,000 times on a punching bag, seeing as Bags Don't Hit Back [0].
Lee obviously meant "the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times" in varying conditions, with varying timing, energy, and motion ... not in a single dead pattern.
Yes. Worse, after that many years working (e.g. in social work) for ideals|status|etc., whatever other employable skills (e.g. coding) that you may have had has now atrophied.
Even if you kept up your skills in your own time, you still have this long employment "gap" to get over in your job hunt / resume / interviewing.
So if you become disillusioned, you're left with nothing, and might now be stuck continuing to work in that disillusionment (to put food on the table).
I suggest making up a domain name unrelated to your actual name exactly because of this.
Saying "homer@juniper plant.com" feels less awkward to me than saying "homer@homer simpson.com".
> Roughly 40% of PFAS compounds contain carboxylic acid groups, and thus could potentially be degraded by the new approach, Trang says. Though it has yet to be tested in the field, she adds that the most likely strategy would be to use conventional means to filter PFAS chemicals from, say drinking water, and then treat them off-site.
> The method doesn’t work on all types of PFAS, however. Compounds used in flame retardants and batteries, for example, contain a sulfonate group instead of a carboxylic acid group and won’t break down with this approach.
> The Move to iOS app requires an iPhone that’s been factory reset, or a brand new one, running iOS 15.5 or later.
So sadly:
> It isn’t possible to move WhatsApp chats to an iPhone that’s already being used.
This is the followup article heavily discussed in that thread.
