Or wouldn't it be hilarious if the best, most intelligent AI is given control of a company and decides investing profits back in shareholders is a losing proposition. Instead the company should focus 100% of profit on ending world hunger or poverty to ensure an ever growing supply of new customers. If AI decides capitalism is inefficient and exploitive... lol.
I experienced this with my Google workspace account’s access to YouTube. I have 2FA set up using TOTP[•], it works fine. I can also log in to our work YouTube channels, but whenever I try to manage users on any channel, I get blocked. No re-auth option, nothing, just not allowed. Even from the same device and IP that I’m logged into for months. Support wasn’t able to resolve this yet.

[•] To enable TOTP I had to first add a mobile number as 2FA, then add TOTP (Google authenticator) and then remove the number (I did not want to use my personal number for work)
They are three apps that present certain language translations and their associated pronunciations from specific texts.
I've also recently switched back to Firefox. The Simple Tab Groups is the killer feature for me. It allows me to group tabs by task which is a godsend if I ever need to work on multiple unrelated tasks concurrently.

Work. I count 5 profiles on my current laptop. I like to compartmentalize my work/external projects, so I don't mix things like search histories, multiple Google accounts, etc.

These are the profiles I currently have:

1. Default, personal. My personal Gmail and other sites.

2. Non-profit that I run, signed in to its Gmail and other email account, etc

3. 3 profiles for different volunteer/contract roles, each signed in to their Gmail and other accounts.

Please forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand (probably because of my lack of knowledge wrt Chekhov and Dostoevsky), yet I want to. At the risk of giving away the joke, could you explain your point to me?
I'm lucky that I've never battled with addiction to hard drugs, but I have struggled for 10 years with cigarettes and all of my adult life with weed and being online. Personally, while weed has had the most detrimental effect on my life (partly by synergizing so well with mind-numbing time-wasters), the hardest one for me to get rid of is 100% my toxic relationship with the Internet.

It's incredible to me that we all have the powerful dopamine dispensers in out pockets; trained on billions of users and well calibrated to our personal pitfalls. I find the mechanisms of addiction and the emotional loop they put you in to be virtually the same between the 3, despite them being so different in how they are "ingested" and affect your brain.
New AWS accounts were already being created without associating with retail logins. It's just now that they forced this migration out of Amazon.com for old accounts.
That seems like an unlikely future reality. Productivity will be off the charts, goods and services will be nearly free. Why would the average person be poor in such a future?
That works perfectly for what I'm using it for. Thanks for building this!
I think Container Tabs are a better fit for the way most people use multiple accounts online.

Plus it enables the Facebook Container extension, which sandboxes all facebook-directed network requests so they can't track you across the web.

And the third party Container Proxy extension lets you set different proxy setting for different containers. So your work tabs can use a different network route.
I don't think the physical impact of 9/11 was that important. 3000 or so lives is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

The main immediate impact of 9/11 was demonstrating the USA was vulnerable. Before, they always managed to do their fighting in other countries.

As a result 1) the USA had a serious need to prove their power. They received a challenge which could not stay unanswered. 2) Europe and the 1st world in general tried to let the US kick around and prove themselves, without starting a world war, and without being dragged into it themselves. They all had similar moments in their own history, and understood how other nations would just not care as much as the receiving nation did. 3) The moslim world saw their biggest enemy receive a kick in the balls, and loved it. It was a great morale booster for them. The US could be hurt.

Long term impact was reducing the values of the enlightenment and western civilization. The US was seen torturing random people, starting a war against the wrong enemy, and limiting all kinds of freedom while claiming to be still free. They lost claims to moral superiority almost anywhere. The overton window shifted away from 'everyone has rights' and towards 'might makes right'.

GPT-Chat code and description

Request:
python program that takes two numbers on the command line and counts backwards from the first in steps of the second while the value is positive.

Oops did not know it would not preserve format

Request
describe this code to a non programmer

This code is a program written in the Python language. It takes two numbers as input from the command line and counts backwards from the first number in steps of the second number, until the value reaches zero.

The program first checks if the two required numbers are provided as inputs from the command line. If either of the numbers is missing or cannot be converted to an integer, the program outputs an error message and terminates.

If the inputs are valid, the program sets the first number as the starting point, and begins counting backwards by the second number. It outputs each number as it counts, and stops counting when the value reaches zero.

For example, if the first number is 17 and the second number is 3, the program would output the numbers 17 14 11 8 5 2 in that order.

Nope, this won't really be an improvement.
Many languages lack an equivalent of "and". What you do is to just juxtapose the two concepts, or perhaps you have structural redundancies in the grammar.

Honestly, we could just use commas: After some discussion back, forth; we decided to get fish, chips. Then we droned on, on about this, that.
The below is not financial advice or recommendations, do your own research.

Because I wouldn't want to link directly to a provider, it's best you google "borrow to exercise options"

There are a lot of articles there discussing the pros and cons, including pointing to providers that provide loans with limited recourse should the stock become worth less than what you exercised with in a liquidity event. (Be sure to read all the Ts+Cs).

Of course, anyone fronting the risk here will take a big part of the upside should your options eventually become good, they have to both cover their costs on your transaction, make a profit, and cover the costs on all the loans they'll provide for stock that will become worthless.
The suggestions you get when typing in the address bar are miles better than the chrome counterpart imo. Otherwise I think these browsers are more equal now than ever.

> asking insurers to distinguish this case from any of thousands of desperate patients and less-expert doctors desperately trying to help them with millions in off-label therapy

Nobody (other than their shareholders) is asking the insurers to do that. Insurance customers just want their insurers to pay for the healthcare that their licensed care teams provide. Nobody is asking their insurers to contact strangers who have never personally examined them to overrule their physicians, who have more pertinent data.

In reading the article, I was struck by the number of people employed by UNH whose jobs basically are to deny coverage for which the member has paid.
If I understand correctly, these only compartmentalise cookies and browsing history, whereas full profiles (via the -ProfileManager switch in Firefox) compartmentalise the whole browser config (add-ons, permissions, etc.) as well, which I think is much more useful.
Ideally one would like an algorithm to be able to realize,"this person prefers to explore new music from the same era," vs "that person prefers to jump around to different countries," vs "the other person prefers to remix their existing playlists," and thus come up with the optimal degree of novelty for each listener. Or at least let the user set a novelty slider to customize their own experience.

(US-centric take) Everyone’s parenting journey is different. YouTube can play a part, or not. Maybe a doctor’s appointment comes up and you have to watch the kids for a few hours. You can go through the toys and games you have and maybe all will go well for a few hours and things will be great.

Or maybe things are running longer than your stamina and you need to put on Ms. Rachel and leave the room for a half hour and regain your sanity.

Or you can pay a nanny to endlessly entertain your kids sans screens. Money isn’t an object for you and someone is willing to do the job for $20/hour and hopefully they never get sick or have care needs of their own.

You can also live in the woods and homeschool your kids and teach them long division with acorns and berries while your husband hunts game.

You, personally, yes you, unless you’ve actually studied this as your profession, have no relevant insight to the lives of parents writ large when the society we’ve built invests little in early childhood care needs. I literally know what’s best for my children based on the things I know about their lives.

We’ll deploy YouTube as needed. We’ll use iPad on the potty if it helps with that process. We’ll do our best.

Please, just, don’t make broad commentary on how to raise kids in 21st century America. It’s not helpful.
Just tangentially related, but on Windows I find that Edge is way faster than Chrome nowadays. No idea why, and it feels stupid to even consider it, but the difference is staggering.
Isn't that one particular balloon for spying?
Not on Android (it stutters on scrolling even on newest Pixel). And I also think it's not the most safest browser on Android because Chromium is much more hardened there.

Yes that one exactly.

To anyone who’s interested in this comment thread: check out the episode.
The systems we instate adapt based on human evolution. We began living in small groups, then tribes, alliances, principates, republics, nation states, mega states. It is hard to believe we've reached the pentacle of governance systems. All participants are impacted to a certain degree, be it positively or negatively, by change. Digesting the current state of the world leads me to be believe a system change may be around the corner.

First principles, everything is in a continuous state of decay. Every living or non-living being, every system, institution or organisation by-product of a living being. What goes up must come down. Institutions start out with noble goals for society. As they grow and amass power, their values tend shift inwards, creating a fertile ground for hubris, nepotism driven incompetence, corruption and disconnect. Most often then not, given a long enough time span, they crumble over their own incompetence and lack of accountability to the environment around them.

Using the programming analogy, it's not as much of a rewrite as it is a major version upgrade (i.e. from 1.x to 2.x) we need.

Keeping your assets is important. Creating opportunities to gather new assets is also important. We are in need of a vision that brings prosperity and purpose for all of us.

Observing the gluttonous initiatives of outdated institutions to swindle our rights, freedoms and assets is hardly ever inspiring. Things change with time.
you can also translate "being useless" as "they having no reason to manipulate me into slaving as a cog in their machine/society/whatever"... I'd say uselessness should be our highest aspiration, when people higher up have no need to constantly brainwash you and social condition you into being just another cog in the machine you get true freedom.
Spain used to have an extra import tax on home computers with <=64KB RAM. One manufacturer got around it by including an extra 8KB chip on a daughterboard (not electrically connected at all!) to increase the RAM to 72KB and avoid the tax.
It's interesting that you put the blame for the slowness on Firefox. I blame web developers for failing to build things for browsers rather than just Chrome.
Wow. Don't they pasteurize this stuff?
What was the cost of the overages charges?
The Instagram thing is evidence in the opposite direction from what you want it to be.

Small developers may indeed find it too onerous to deal with the many devices and software versions of Android. For a small it even mid-sized shop, there are possibly opportunity costs to trying to make a first-class Android app that generally makes it hard to deliver optimized versions of it.

Instagram, on the other hand, is not in that situation. Their reach is easily broad enough to hire another 10 or 20 Android engineers and tell them to optimize the app. Any lift at all in Instagram's Android numbers would be sufficient to make that business case.

If they aren't doing that, it's evidence that nobody actually cares about this kind of app quality. No mid-level Facebook manager was able to justify a bigger team by saying, "from an addressable market of hundreds of millions in high-income countries alone, we can get a lift of a few million dollars by optimizing our app."
I think this is mostly because longer range sounds like a great thing when you don’t have hundreds of missiles to defend against.

It’d be nice if there was a similar defense against saturation bombing.
I love Firefox and use it as my main browser. I do sometimes see issues with JavaScript on some sites which I assume are the result of developers mainly testing on Chrome these days.
Feels a bit PG submarine-ish, but I'll bite.

Firefox took away a lot of accessibility options in a large August 2021 and broke my trust in them. Good that they brought back extension options in Android, as I read other comments, but taking away the text size render option killed me.

I use Firefox as my daily driver but I really miss user profiles and tab groups from Chrome. None of the tab related extensions for Firefox give quite the same ease of use as the built in tab groups do in Chrome.
> As sympathetic as you can be to an individual patient, here we’re talking about multiple biologics being used off-label at the direction of a single doctor.

But that's being denied by a single doctor, who hasn't practiced in 30 years, and never practiced in the relevant speciality.

"He said his review of McNaughton’s case primarily involved reading a United nurse’s recommendation to deny his care and making sure 'that there wasn't a decimal place that was out of line.' He said he copied and pasted the nurse’s recommendation and typed 'agree' on his review of McNaughton’s case."

"'You are giving zero weight to the treating doctor’s opinion on the necessity of the treatment regimen?' a lawyer asked Cates in his deposition. He responded, 'Yeah.'"

They're also hand-picking doctors to obtain their desired result.

"In a recorded telephone call, Kavanaugh told an MRIoA representative that 'I had asked that this go back through Dr. Pabby, and it went through a different doctor and they had a much different result.' After further discussion, the MRIoA representative agreed to send the case back to Pabby. 'I appreciate that,' Kavanaugh replied. 'I just want to make sure, because, I mean, it’s obviously a very different result than what we’ve been getting on this case.'"
If all you need is for apps to open browser window on firefox instead of chrome, you can just disable chrome. That's what I have done and it works fine for me.

"BypassPaywallsClean" is a must-have extension for the modern internet.

Does anybody else use multiple browsers? Maybe it's just because I'm doing web-dev right now, but I think using as many browsers as possible is necessary as I find inconsistencies that could become bugs all the time. I use Firefox as my "main" and Chrome as my "alt".
That still doesn't make him a "crypto bro", any more than those companies using cloud providers makes the cloud providers cryptocurrency specific. They require stuff that's pretty universally applicable.

Or change my mind and show me which of his projects is cryptocurrency-specific.
Time for my rant as a Firefox user since the beta Phoenix versions, stating that I'm a daily MacOS and Android tablet user

* Firefox uses much more battery on MacOS than any chromium based browser. Bugzilla ticket exists since ages, few things have change

* Firefox on Android tablet after the change to Fenix is a stretched phone browser, with no tabs support, no default desktop support. Firefox developers treat this as a ER instead of bug totally ignoring that it was there before and they dropped it, no development whatsoever

At the same time, Firefox history sync is like no other but balancing what I care for the most, I had to drop firefox after literally decades and every now and then I look if at least there is something on the tablet support, hoping that I'll be able to change back at some point
Yes, but damage is a function of power and time. If you can’t keep it on that a precise position you need to deliver far more power — there are links here to some research and they tend to be measured in seconds, which is a very aggressive target for something this far away through moving air.

I get the parallels with past generations but YT is different and you as a parent should be thinking about its specific properties as a platform. It might have some thought-provoking entertainment but it is too huge and assorted, and where I come from, it has been weaponized by corrupt political families to spread historical revisionism packaged as “educational content” which ultimately brought them back to power. Then there’s the flat-earthers, anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers, etc. It’s not worth the trouble as I’m not going to be able to watch my kids all the time. I’d rather they develop their critical thinking and hobbies through offline avenues before they are exposed to addictive apps that make it too easy to discover disinformation.
This isn't blaming Firefox any more than one would blame other web browsers for a bad enterprise app requiring Internet Explorer, it's just the sad reality that users have to deal with.
Care to link some resources for amateur network science? Search keywords? What tools do you use to monitor the spread of news?
I have: I generally prefer Windows, but depending on the test results, this option is definitely on the table!

As the computer has 2x NVMe and 2x GPU, it should be easy to do a GPU passthrough (with one GPU for Linux native, the other in passthough to Windows) but this brings a little extra complexity I'd rather avoid if I can.
Why Is Everyone So Boring?
60+ seconds seems really odd. It sounds like less of a rendering issue and more like some more fundamental technical problem. Have you tried all the usual things, e.g. reinstalling, previous versions, etc.?
I hear you on profiles. My go-to for this is to use firejail or podman to keep truly separate browsers on all my alternate profiles.
Which part of their comment reads as blaming Firefox?
I had to switch to Sidebery after some bugs with TST (broken hierarchy, etc.).
I did try Edge a couple of years ago and I would agree with your observation too. I just didn't stick with Edge and came back to for some reason that is escaping me right now.
That’s essentially what I meant. The core database is separate from the Cloudflare parts, so it could in theory run on other edges (I want to get it running on fly.io!), but for now “the edge” can be read as “Cloudflare Workers”.
This has been said ad nauseam, but bacterial infections are going to become a huge concern.

Viruses are baddies because their treatment is largely more specific, often just treatment rather than cure, and they are more resilient. Broad spectrum antibiotics kept bactieral infections from being the same. Bacterial resistance is pushing bacterial infections into the same category.
I think you got confused here, OP had the exact opposite experience
Your Gmail/Google cookies are probably in a weird state with chrome. Clear the cache and all saved cookies (will log you out of every site fyi) and I bet it will load right up again.

But all that said, yes, Firefox is very good. I wish it was a little more bleeding edge with stuff like experimental web standards (native filesystem access, USB, etc.) but I still use it for most of my browsing.
Thinking about both processing time and the difficulty of sustaining 120M downloads' worth of programmatic access, I wouldn't be surprised if this is actually trained on the track previews.

Firefox for Android does not stutter when scrolling for me on a phone much weaker than a Pixel. That suggests it's not a universal issue but something more specific to your setup.

That really sounds like a broken installation. Out of curiosity, would you care to share what add-ons you have/had installed?
Switched from FF to Brave, just because FF spins up my fans and uses far more battery than Brave on arch linux. Wish I could switch back.
I love Firefox but some JS heavy demos etc. just don't work fast enough.
Thank you. In my experience, discussing self deception tends to get hard push back.
