The Firefox documentation says to Enable Containers through General Settings -> Tabs [1] but there is no such checkbox [2]. Going into about:config and changing privacy.userContext.enabled and privacy.userContext.ui.enabled to true [3] enables the checkbox in the settings page [4]. This is Firefox Version 116.0.3 under Ubuntu.

I use Chrome and Firefox interchangeably so I don't have a dog in this fight. Containers aka Personalities needs to be made a first class feature in Firefox and not require the above steps to make it useful to the less tech savy end user.

From the article: the proposed agreement includes a permanent injunction that would, among its provisions, bar the IA’s lending of unauthorized scans of the plaintiffs' in-copyright, commercially available books, as well as bar the IA from “profiting from” or “inducing” any other party’s “infringing reproduction, public distribution, public display and/or public performance” of the the plaintiffs' books "in any digital or electronic form” once notified by the copyright holder.

and there is also a confidential monetary settlement.

The answer is not palatable because it will take forever: contact your representatives in the federal government and lobby for copyright reform. IA might be luck they were not sued for more. I believe the MP3.com lawsuit is relevant reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMG_Recordings,_Inc._v._MP3.co....

Jon supported me directly at a startup in the late 1980s when Ultrix was new. He was generous with his time and direct with his answers. I'm quite grateful all these years later.

A battery backed solar powered unit would be ideal for installation where power is not readily available. Scheduled WiFi or the addition of LoRa would also be a benefit. Nice project.

Consult a trust & estate attorney as there are potential tax consequences if the beneficiary of an IRA or Life Insurance policy is a trust rather than a person or persons.

Price Club #1 on Morena Blvd., San Diego, asked employees, friends, and family to park cars in the lot. Seems to work. Of course the financials weren't reporting average daily cars in the lot either.

I had a client who wanted to build his business on top of our business via scripting our administrative back end - basically he wanted to be a value added reseller. He'd get angry when we modified our admin console. We offered him API access for a fee, but any fee was too much for his business model. It was quite frustrating and eventually we had to ignore his pleas for UI stability over years of time. All the while he could have had access to the API for less than he was paying the person to script our admin console. This was circa 2007, so perhaps API programmers just weren't the thing back in the day.

I use Wasabi at $4.99 per month for 1TB and backup using borg and rclone. I serve only a few files, so I don't know the egress limitations.

You: Clippy, Open the CMD window please. Clippy: I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that. This integration is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

I cannot understand why Google doesn't release products for all of their users. Bard isn't supported for this account (Google Workspace) https://imgur.com/a/HCDNO9A

Nice to see someone mention direct server return or as BigIP called it nPath routing. This was an effective scaling method for handling small request that returned large payloads (audio and video files). I don't know how well known this configure is or whether it is still viable in an all TLS world.

My take on the announcement:

1. Existing assets are more than current deposits, but liquidity is low

2. Shareholders, bondholders, etc.. are going to get zero

3. The Fed will provide immediate liquidity

4. Assets will be sold to repay the liquidity provided by the Fed

Mostly because it's easier from an accounting and money management perspective. Now Roku's $460+ million on deposit is unfathomable.

California code requires this when the SFH is 3,600 sqft or larger.

The book "Danny Dunn and the Homework Machine" was mentioned by one of the co-inventors of Usenet, Tom Truscott. "He decided it would be neat to have a homework machine." [1]

Building more housing is tossed out as if this is a single dimension economics problem, like widgets in Freshman econ.

Perform a capacity utilization study of all available housing, where Capacity is the number of room days of housing available and utilization is the amount it is actually occupied. Then tag each of these housing units (room) across multiple dimensions including cost, location, house, apartment, condo, etc..

Find out how existing housing is actually being used and how much it is being used. Then adjust the financial incentives to change the usage to what you think it ought to be.

I live in an medium to high cost of living location and the number of underutilized properties due to second homes, opportunistic rentals, and basic investment properties (downtown condos) is substantial.

If someone can point me to a city that has performed a Housing Capacity Utilization study, I'd like to read it.

I encapsulated my old windows machine into a VM - it gets fired up to run Quicken and another accounting program for which there are no reasonable client based substitutes. The VM boots fast, I have a "safe" copy of the VM image incase of a viral compromise, and it's out of the way of my normal workflow. Windows machine free for about a decade.

Somehow this is completely appropriate for the day after US Thanksgiving.

This song was played by my kindergarten teacher at nap time and thus when I hear it, I still want to take a nap!

Ha ha, great one. Thank you.

Consider if you will a person who read Tracy Kidder's The Soul of a New Machine [1], a start up non-fiction book about a bet-the-company moment in time where humans had to develop and bring a wildly new computer system to market.

I read this book in 1982 as a junior in college who had the good fortune to be using a DEC-2060 - the PC's across the hall seemed toys by comparison (ha ha).

After reading the book I felt like I was late to the party - I'd missed everything! All that time spent on Adventure, VTTrek, Empire!, and using FTP and Telnet to explore the ARPAnet was wasted time.

Now some 40 years on and after a fun career, I hadn't missed a thing. What comes next for you is going to be fascinating and engaging. Onward!

I have certainly heard this from some teachers in non-charter schools, and I've seen one student asked not to return to the charter school where I teach part-time.

I've deployed Unifi equipment in a number of small home and office environments without any problems at all. Some have been running for a decade or more. Management is a piece of cake and in homes it has high SAF (Spouse Appreciation Factor) because it just works.

If you have questions where you think I can help, drop me an email.

Small correction to the article, it is the Transparency, Consent and Control (TCC) framework rather than Trust, Transparency, and Control. More here https://eclecticlight.co/2019/07/22/mojaves-privacy-consent-...

Ha ha, yeah, I remember a green sales person trying to use the four-square model on me. I looked at him and said "I'm paying cash" which confused him to no end. He had to go see his manager. In the end I didn't buy a car from that dealer. Where the cash comes from is none of their business; i.e., loan or something else.
