Sure, it's a test feature, that you have to manually install *now*, but what if it goes further? Is this (or are they, if also considering "Email Tabs") something that really needs to be a browser feature rather than a browser extension? I think that's what people are complaining about. Neither are really pertinent to the browser itself, which is what Mozilla should be focused on. (and I would add Thunderbird)
Seriously. Why does "Price Wise" need to be a browser feature, yet another piece of (unwanted, unneeded) bloat-ware? I can *remotely* imagine a use for the "Email Tabs" thing, but cannot imagine actually ever using it myself. For sure, if these experiments continue on to become full-fledged browser features, they will be two more things I will disable. Thankfully, I have Experiments disabled in FF.
Dear Mozilla, Concentrate on making a *browser* not a kitchen sink -- we already have Emacs for that.*:-)
I am retiring the instant I meet my relevant financial goals for doing so.
I got laid off in June 2017, but am debt-free (including having my mortgage paid off) and financially independent for my current and foreseeable situation, according to my spreadsheets where I track everything -- think FIRE, though not that young. My wife died in 2006 ( Remember Sue... ) so it's a little quiet.
As it turns out, I've been contacted by a number of employers and recruiters recently and had one in-person interview and several phone interviews that all look like they'll progress further. I've got 30 years experience and been a system/application programmer and system administrator on just about every version of Unix, several versions of Linux and Windows and am big into automation and am getting inquires to do DevOps work. I'm thinking of going back to work. Some extra coin in the piggy bank wouldn't hurt and I'll get benefits and, eventually, 18 months of COBRA -- which was *way* less expensive than plans on the ACA marketplace, because I have too much passive/investment income to get subsidies.
They only give you photos of your flat mail. Packages don't seem to get photographed, ever, even just padded envelopes. So the stuff I want most to know about, they don't tell me about.
I'm sure they get photographed too, they (apparently) just don't send you those with this service.
It's the first time AT&T has discontinued customer service over piracy allegations...
Maybe these people were using encryption, thus AT&T can't confirm they are not pirates, thus the allegations.
How does "if you don't have anything to hide then everything you do should be public knowledge" sound to you?
Sure. And when politician are fully transparent, like releasing their tax returns and stop holding closed-door sessions and accepting anonymous and/or non-disclosed donations, PACs that don't have to disclose their donors and/or expenditures are abolished, and corporations do away with non-disclosure agreements and private meetings, and things like that, then maybe we can talk.

WHAT KIND OF MORON RUNS FTP ON AN ELECTIONS SERVER?
Well... You could ask Brian Kemp, Georgia's Secretary of State and the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Georgia. He's overseeing his own election.
He and his office just (two days before the election), without citing any evidence, just opened an investigation (and other sources) into Georgia Democrats over an alleged ‘hack’. Maybe it was an FTP hack.
Great. Now we just need some perspective-enhancing alien pheromones to smoke through this Laser Hookah in a Star Wars themed cantina and perhaps there can finally be a permanent Israeli / Palestinian ceasefire.
Yeah. Turns out that when you make your software freely available, you do not get paid for it. If you're not OK with that, don't put it under an open source license.
This is a feature of open source, not a bug.
Seems a bit shady though that you put your stuff out for free that someone else can pick it up, package it and sell it on.
Only as shady as, say, putting a sofa out on the curb for trash and having someone pick it up, clean it up and sell it. You gave it away; someone else is profiting from that.
This evaporated helium is usually pumped out of the facility through a vent, but this vent was leaking the helium into the rest of the facility.
(a) Why isn't the helium captured rather than simply vented/released? It doesn't grow on trees.
(b) People can die if the helium concentration gets too high. Having it leak into a fucking hospital seems rather care/reckless.

Informed Delivery actually stopped working for me a few days ago, I wonder if it's at all related to this?
No. The Microsoft Activation server probably downgraded their license. :-)

In other words, if they know who watches what, they will know what movies to make.
Make movies that don't suck *or* halve the admission price -- problem solved.

Dark humor is a coping mechanism. Get off your high horse.
Note: Riding a horse while its high (and/or during water polo) is very dangerous.
It involves Blockchain.

It's gimmick anyway. It's not going to make it any better to smoke than a traditional lighter or better yet, a mini vape.
Unless quantum-entangled weed gets you twice a high.
