Not sure how so many in the thread are using FF problem-free? In the past few years I've encountered more and more sites that don't work properly with FF. Most of the issues are around modals that won't dismiss or even display at all. Other issues I can't identify, but the site becomes unresponsive or some content won't load. I think the Ticketmaster ticket selection page was the last one I couldn't use at all with FF. My cable company's site became Chromium only sometime this year and it still is.

Sometimes the cause is uBlock Origin, so I always try turning it off and refreshing. Rarely it's due to enhanced tracking protection. A few times I restarted FF in safe mode to rule out add-ins. It's always just FF.
I am of the understanding that part of this is because there are different profit margins in mind with a civilian reactor generating power to be sold and a military reactor powering a vessel.

When that is combined with deregulation (or an anti-regulatory mindset) where things like insulation on water intake is deferred or ignored because it impacts the economics of the power plant, then building one becomes difficult.

> Even iPhone users in Europe tend to just use WhatsApp

Europe is not that homogenous, WhatsApp isn't even the most popular messaging app in much of Central/Eastern Europe and Scandinavia (in addition to that iOS has a similar/higher market share in Norway/Sweden/Denmark than it does in the US).

> of the history of carriers charging thru the nose for SMS back in the day.

Again, this wasn't the case in every European country (where I am text messages were already free or very cheap in the early 2010s so WhatsApp didn't really take off that much and FB Messenger is still quite a bit more popular to this day because it worked on PCs/browsers and most stuck to it when smartphones were becoming popular ).

same applies to Britain and Switzerland.
To clarify, I think it would be very bad if the government merely "targeted a standard" and did not test its websites on various browsers. I would consider it irresponsible professional behavior.

The famous story of a woman having her face literally torn off by an otherwise friendly and trained chimpanzee has caused a lot of fear around chimps that didn't exist before. I have no idea how common it is for a chimpanzee to decide to maul a person, but it absolutely does happen. I would rather they kill the chimp than allow even a small risk of it maiming or murdering a person.
That aspect of it is hardly interesting or unusual. “Company hires ad agency to develop / execute campaign”, and “ad agency either has in-house, or outsources, implementation” is just…how things work.

Very cool, but some basic stuff is broken having used the app. For example, I'm unable to create a new conversation since I'm unable to click on a contact after having searched for their name in the "New Chat" flow. Looking forward to using it once this is fixed!

> Software development is about doing the things the right way, not exercising in futility.

I strongly disagree on the first point, and mostly disagree on the second. The first point is antithetical to the hacker mindset.

Software development is about solving problems using computers and code. Some of the most interesting and impactful work I’ve done involved doing things the “wrong” way as a way to get people’s attention. Some of these prototypes raise awareness. Some of them become the precursor to a project that does things “right”. And sometimes, just getting something to work is the only thing that really matters.

Software development is also about trying things and seeing what works for the sake of learning about it. I’ve written tons of code that never made it to production, but the act of writing it taught me so much that the time was well spent.

> A better experience would be writing your own message delivery solution, superior to iMessage.

This completely misses the point. People don’t want a better experience. They just want to use iMessage on Android. They want to be part of the blue bubble group chats.

Building a new “superior” solution just creates another iteration of the current problem and solves nothing.

Slight nitpick but you can get edge on both Mac and Linux. They package both a deb and an rpm here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download?form=... and it is also available on Mac.

The project vaguely reminds me of PostSecret[1].

I found the PostSecret book in a common area while I was in college. I had never heard of PostSecret beforehand.

I read through, and for some reason was compelled to anonymously inscribe it with my own "secret." I left the book, now containing my deepest darkest fear, for someone else to discover.

At the time I was struggling emotionally and this process was incredibly cathartic. I felt lighter by an order of magnitude.

I learned a lot that day about the power of getting things off my chest and cutting myself slack. Those "simple" lessons have served me nearly daily in the decade+ since.

I wouldnt call an increasing GDP coupled with deindustrialization "growth".

Growth in GDP for a country with a well respected currency is trivial - increase government spending. Of course, in the limit, that destroys your currency's reputation... but then nominal GDP will grow at the inflation rate at constant real GDP.
Where's the value? My Android phone just does this locally, obviously Shazam has more storage and so they're going to handle more obscure stuff that way, but for example I just set my "Power of Love" playlist running, and the Pixel's built in "Now Playing" knows both the Frankie Goes To Hollywood track and the Huey Lewis number from Back to the Future.

When a "phone" was a dumb device just barely capable of implementing GSM and displaying a clock then this might be worth something as a business, but given where the $0 baseline is, I don't see enough margin to justify competition, I'm surprised even Shazam still makes commercial sense.

> i think a podcast is more fundamentally about delivering audio content automatically than it is about user control.

Sorry, but no. There's a reasonable argument to be made against my position that says that podcasting is really about empowering creators, rather than listeners, through guerilla/indie distribution channels that don't have to get signoff from anyone (e.g. traditional media companies) other than themselves when summoning the willpower to press the "upload" button. But those are really the only two positions a serious person can take. The automatic delivery connection is wrong. Not to diminish Dave Winer's work and influence, but RSS enclosures and podcasting were independently invented.

The broad definition of podcast that people are advocating for elsewhere in this thread, wherein people refer to recordings posted to YouTube and Twitter as "podcasts" doesn't validate the automatic delivery angle, either.

> if it was an issue to be exclusive to one program then we absolutely would have a different term by now

Nah. This is a well-known junk argument. (Not about podcasting specifically, but as an illegal conversational "move". One step removed from begging the question.)
