Unless you want to log out and into another mac account just to change profiles, this really isn't useful.

The utility comes from having multiple sandboxed, separate profiles running at the same time with separate cookie jars, in separate memory spaces. Kind of like docker containers for the browser. Chrome does this magnificently--I have personal, school, and work profiles all running and open at the same time. It's very useful if you have multiple accounts on any services and need access to them simultaneously (i.e. multiple google accounts). Also useful if you don't want the browser in one of the profiles to remember any sites/cookies from another area of your life. I wouldn't want some of sites I visit on my own time to autocomplete at work, but I still want to have it when I go home.

As far as I know it also isn't possible to make any sort of CLI incantation to open the safari binary as a different user (like sudo with specifying a different non-root user) and not have it override whatever is currently running.

Nope, the "City" in the address is the name of the Post Office that delivers the mail.

So you may be on the west end of one town, and the post office that's closest to you is in another town (or is just named after another town, the name of the post office can be arbitrary as well). That's your address.

It even affects property values. You can look at boundaries between post offices and people will pay more to have an address with a desirable post-office name.
Kiro does have a point. Not you personally, but in general the popular opinion is that Google is morally bad, while Mozilla is good. I think it would currently be very unpopular to say that Google just made some bad decisions, as in it's not actually "bad", because it would muddy the one-dimensional good-bad discourse to which most of these mainstream problems descend to. Note I'm not actually passing judgements, just talking about group think.

As a former worker at Blackberry(RIM) cellular chip division (hello fellow RCT-ees), this article explains so much it physically hurts me.

RIM pushed hard to develop its own chip 3G/4G chips because Qualcomm absolutely strangled the company with its licensing cost/terms. They pretty much demanded a separate cellular R&D team (QCT) that duplicates half the effort. All CDMA based phones must contain chips from QCT because Qualcomm holds CDMA patents and they won't license them to anyone. Finally, Qualcomm was, while very technically competent, will give you no assistance whatsoever if you deviate from what they want you to do. Basically 'my way or the highway.'

What about when those cameras start sending data to some central 3rd party in who then tracks people. What if everybody installs those cameras? Do you now have to avoid everywhere?

This is exactly what has happened with the tracking scripts from facebook and google. They provide some service, but the tradeoff is that you have to let them spy on your users.

So the counter question is: "Can you not just avoid google - to protect your privacy?"

Yes, "city" is one of the fields in your postal address, which is not necessarily related to what your particular state decides to call its "cities".

If you live in Phoenix but your postal address says "Glendale, AZ", then you would put "Glendale" on that form.

If you are genuinely confused about this and write "Phoenix" instead, (or, for example, "New York, NY" even though your address says "Brooklyn, NY"), I would be very surprised if any court would convict you of perjury. Your statement having been literally true is an affirmative defense to a perjury charge. The worst that will happen is the IRS won't be able to send you mail.

Why would it? Evolution cares about only "fitness", which is the ability to survive and reproduce. It doesn't care about intelligence or happiness or health or anything else except to the extent that these things promote survival and reproduction.

Current human populations are actually being somewhat negatively selected for intelligence, since at least in the developed world fertility is inversely correlated with education (except at the insignificant extreme high end).

Because you would need to get a widevine license from google. Mozilla was able to do that, but I know at least one chromium fork had it's application for a license rejected. It technically is possible to copy the widevine library from a chrome install to use with chromium, but non technical people won't know how to do that.

"where I turn" This wording really hilights something that I think a lot of dynamic typing proponents don't fully appreciate. Using a type system is a learned skill, not something you magically get for free. You need both a good type system and the experience/education to use it to its fullest. Encoding threading rules in the type system isn't something C ships with out of the box, and it's not something a lot of people would think of, but moving that into the type system rather than relying on unit/manual test is a huge win.
OTOH, we can say something similar about the US.

Trump has been battling investigations and possible impeachment hearings since day one. Partisanship amongst voters is at a 40 year high. And the US is waging the longest war in its entire history, with no proper resolution in sight. Plus -- who knows? -- it might just start a brand new war against Iran.

The last thing the US needs is a military war with China.

The problem with red, amber, green
I have been using Firefox as my default browser for as long as I can remember and after the release of Quantum I have loved using Firefox even more. I still have Chrome for cross-browser testing and the occasional website that loads correctly on Chrome, but not Firefox (for whatever reason). However, this occurs very rarely.

A big thank you to Mozilla. Keep up the great work!
Checklist author here. Glad you liked the idea!

Figuring out a clean shorthand way to group these best practices was something we definitely thought about. The idea behind using funding rounds was to find something that can work as an easily digestible placeholder for company maturity and capabilities for most SaaS startups. Something closer to “just starting out,” “product-market fit,” and “starting to scale” rather than being specifically about actual funding levels.

Definitely open to feedback if that way of grouping things doesn't resonate!
How so? Apple can’t stop you from using a different phone.
I concede that this is a valid outlook (which I did not gather from Kiro's comment, so thanks for clarifying).

I tried to word my comment in a way that made it clear that I believe this mentality should apply to _all_ companies, including Google, when a company makes a move in the direction of benefiting consumer privacy. I perhaps could have made that more clear in my original comment.

You aren't permitted to mix the radioactive waste back into the rock, even though that is where it came from in the first place.

Among other things, you get thorium.

Is it not something we should want to make real?
High intensity heavy lifting is great and I do it, but for calorie burn, how can it be better than endurance exercise? I burn 700 per hour when running, 6 hours per week = 4,200. The below article estimates 20 lbs. of added muscle burns 120 calories per day. That's 840 calories per week.

Agreed. The fact that Firefox doesn't allow unsigned addons is proof enough of this.
> Doesn't hurt that Firefox is actually a great product.

Arguably.

On these threads there is always a handful of complaints about the state of Firefox, mostly on macOS. On my machine, I can’t even launch Firefox in headless mode without the fans turning on, which never happened on Chrome. While I haven’t benchmarked it, for normal browsing it does feel slower than Crome.

But what kills it for me is their crippled AppleScript support. Firefox is the worst major browser (even worse than smaller browsers) for an automator on macOS. I rely on browser control every day, so Firefox is useless to me.

I’d sooner switch to Safari, which despite laughable controls (can’t even disable JavaScript on a per-website basis) I can do something with.
All of this is fantastic. I just hope the day comes, when Google is no longer the default search engine in Firefox. Safari is my default browser, but I use Firefox heavily for “social” media accounts. I love the extensions.

> Is it harmful to "feel" hungry and not sate your appetite?

This is something that most people don't understand, given that we live in a world where food is cheap and plentiful.

As many people who have gone through fasting-based diets have discovered, there's a difference between "I'm hungry" and "I need calories, I'm getting weak and tired." Learning that difference is how you discover the actual amount of food your body requires, not just checking off three meals per day.

The feeding patterns of our ancestors were very far from "eat as much as you want all the time with no physical effort required," and that was normal for 15,000+ years, so it'll probably take longer than the 100-200 or so since industrial food production began for our brains and bodies to adjust to the new normal. That, or we'll just have to start teaching our kids about cravings vs hunger vs actual food-need.

To summarise points that are missed in the comments and maybe not well describe on the website:

This is based in Canada. The vast majority is heavy oil in unconsolidated sand. This cannot be pumped, so there are commonly no pipelines.

During the process of extraction a lot of low value methane escapes from the oil. Canada has limits to the amount of venting a well can do, so if they reaches the limit they have to either slow the well's production or spend money on building a flare.

Both options have an economic cost. These mining units are addressing this.
Mostly, you can't have different profiles in the tabs of the same window in Chrome, and you can have different containers in the tabs of the same window in Firefox.

E.g. you can run your email tab in the default container, and a bank app in a separate "money" container next to it.

Or you can run one gmail (or outlook, etc) account in one tab, and an another gmail (or outlook, etc) account in another tab next to it.
That is the terrifying situation we are in... where the current batch of populist authoritarians are starting to tear down the economic spiderweb that connects most of the world. This was a system created with the intention of making another war so costly/impossible it was avoided. The EU arose from this concept. This isn't something I am afraid of in the next 5 years, but it is something I am really afraid of over the next 25. Unless China gets crazy and goes after Tawain for posturing.

I don't fully blame the populist either for their recent craziness, not enough was done to keep society "fair" and to provide a strong social safety net during the wild ride of globalization. The EU did a better job but is now under migrant pressure and fear-mongering, and the USA is imploding under health care, the cost of having/raising kids, and the middle and lower income brackets having 40 years of degraded earnings power.

Hopefully, we can sort it out with some good voting and a political realignment in the USA.

Assuming antitrust law is enforced...
It's kind of a fractalized representation of a dynamic that happens to businesses at every scale: they get good at one thing, so now the organization pushes back against changing that thing when conditions change. The business coasts along for some indefinite period, still profitable because of momentum, and then collapses when its market advantage has sufficiently eroded.

The success stories generally come with a combination of top-down strong leadership and bottom-up skunkworks teams and units that are given the leniency to take a chance on something new. Sometimes acquisitions take on this role(e.g. Instagram as Facebook's replacement product).

If we take the old Microsoftism of "It only gets good at version 3" and extend it with, say, "it starts getting worse after version 7", then every software product should have its prospective replacement start shipping alongside version 4.

Actually doing this takes attention to detail and finding an unaddressed niche that would support a different product, though. Compromising and letting too much be reused or too many old requirements pour into the new thing usually causes the effort to fail. It has to be really different, like the IBM team in Boca Raton that came up with the PC design by dispensing with the normal IBM checklist of the time and cludging together some commodity parts and third-party software instead. Most such ideas get squashed by political machinery when put into the context of existing products and teams, which is why the skunkworks approach has to be fastidious.

> Hypothetically, "both sides" may not have been doing any research at all, but making up their positions from whole cloth in order to encourage effects that benefit them personally.

In practice there is a strong probability that if true facts advance the position of one side, that side will present those facts -- and, of course, that the other side won't.

What this means is that you need two things. The first is to listen to a variety of sources, and the second is to evaluate things they say for yourself to try to ascertain who is telling the truth about what.

And sometimes they're both telling the truth. There are a lot of situations where the government can take $100 from Peter and use it in a way that creates a $105 benefit for Paul. Then Paul argues that they should do it because it's creating a $5 surplus and Peter argues that they shouldn't because it's clearly inequitable. Both of which are true and accurate assessments of the situation, but you still have to make a decision. Better that it be an informed one, one way or another.

> because "both sides" might actually only be one entity, with the intention of defining the range of acceptable opinion.

Sure, absolutely. The whole concept of "sides" is an artificial frame created by the two party system and there are plenty of external actors (corporations, foreign governments) who are quite adept at playing one side against the other for their own benefit.

The answer is to go beyond "both sides" and find the outlets (often foreign or subversive) that provide sides three, four, five and six. Then apply the same tools to evaluate their narratives that you use for anything. A lot of what they're saying will be bunkum, but so is a lot of what CNN or Fox says.

You could even go so far as to listen to the likes of Alex Jones once in a while -- for entertainment value if nothing else, like watching Alias or X-Files. Give yourself critical thinking practice to evaluate the flaws in some reporting that you have strong reason to suspect is in fact flawed. But watch out -- it turns out even he gets some things right:

Git Branch Naming Convention
"Tesla explained its vehicles continuously record and transmit operational and diagnostic data to the company’s servers. The data from Halcourt’s Model X showed its engine was actually not turned off, and that soon after Halcourt’s toddler entered the SUV through the open back door and crawled into the driver’s seat, he first pressed the brake pedal then shifted the gear selector to Drive.

“Over the next 6 seconds, the vehicle continued to be in Drive gear with the brake pedal pressed until the accelerator pedal was pressed and the brake pedal was released,” Tesla stated. “In the next 4 seconds, while varying manual pressure continued to be applied to the accelerator pedal, the vehicle speed increase was consistent with the pressure applied to the accelerator pedal. Then, the brake pedal was pressed including activation of the Anti-Lock Braking System, the accelerator pedal was released, and the vehicle came to a stop.”

I'm not a Tesla Fanboy or anything but if this is true I don't see how they are at fault.
Shouldnt we instead promote the major competitor with sufficient funding so that people are more likely to stick with for longer term?

It would be very interesting to see the results of a study asking people to come up with a list of random words. I really doubt that the actual dictionary size would be anywhere near 50k, and probably would have a high frequency of common words like 'apple', 'house', 'food' etc, making them easier to crack, and almost no frequency of less common words.
