Once Nginx gets support for DNS-01, does that mean we'll be able to use wildcards for SSL using Let's Encrypt?

Nobody Beats the Wiz is great, but $32B is so much money.

I had interpreted “the EU aims to compel Apple to re-engineer its services to allow rival companies to access the iPhone’s operating system” to mean that they want other phone manufacturers to be able to install iOS on their phones. I agree that your interpretation is much more reasonable.

To be clear, I would love to be able to install macOS on any PC. As a former Mackintosh user, I'm not excited about drivers, but I'd love to see it nonetheless.

But pushing Apple to make iOS available on other phone hardware is a massive undertaking. iOS is developed for a very constrained hardware set. When you move away from that and the optimizations thereof, what's left? It's a major distraction, you'll either get a much worse experience on other hardware, or the general polish and performance of iOS takes a nose dive. I don't see why Apple would spend the money to support this the way it would need to be supported rather than leave.

Sharing with collaborators may constitute fair use. I wouldn't put one of my own papers on my website, though, for example, for something that isn't published as open access.

Some areas focus on conference publications rather than journal publications—in optics is there no conference publication, just the presentation?

Are you in academia? Papers are the standard metric of success for tenure in science. At research universities, it's most of the basis for tenure.

This is absolutely not the reality of a PhD. On what planet do people with those backgrounds get those positions out of their PhDs? What's the basis for this entire comment?

You're assuming also that peer review will fix statistics issues. Statistics will often fall through the cracks.
