This and three extensions that make it even better:
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account... - bit easier to manage, you can place a sensible button next to "Open a new tab" that gives you a menu to open a new tab in specific container, also easy to assign site to a container which is vital
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con... - this makes a temporary container every time you open a new empty tab (if you open a tab from within it stays with the temporary container), when you close the last tab from the container it will remove the container after a while. This extension should not be used with tab syncing from the former extension if you use Firefox Accounts to sync tabs and stuff.
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/i-dont-care-a... - this makes it manageable to use the temporary containers extension. Because every time you open a new tab with new Google search you will see a cookie consent popover. It gets old fast, this clicks it for you.
Not true. Automatic emergency braking (AEB) has been shown to reduce frontal crashes by about 43% and injuries in those crashes by 64%. That's a pretty big sizable jump. I can personally attest AEB has kept me out of at least one crash.
AEB will prevent you from rear ending someone at <10mph in stop and go conditions and knocks 5-20mph (being really generous on that upper bound) off the contact speed for higher speed rear endings (that most people won't ever get in over a lifetime).
It mostly does not prevent the kinds of accidents where people get injured (save me the anecdote about how your brother's roomate's uncle backed his semi into the loading dock a little too hard and hurt had a sore neck the next day).
Don't get me wrong, for what it does it works, but it is not the magic want the internet tends to act like it is. you have to weigh the potential improvement against the price of a new car.
The fact that there isn't a word about accessibility in this blog post is beyond disheartening. I would really like to know how they're doing it. Is it the Accessibility Object Model (which AFAIK, isn't fully baked)? Some shadow DOM thing? Accessibility is a foundational feature of the web. Without it, it is 100% broken.
Its also a bit disheartening to read that someone would consider accessibility an optional thing that could be shipped later.
Uhh, no, it's totally correct that it will slam on the brakes.
Source: own a Subaru, have driven it at a cardboard box in the middle of the street, and have had it slam on the brakes. Have also had it slam on the brakes when swerved into my lane, saving me from an accident. So... worth it.
A Tesla Will also slam on the brakes in general. Swerving into your lane likely fits the 20mph window that Subaru is designed for. But that’s not what’s in question in this comment thread.
Have you tested yours again a stationary emergency vehicle or a tree? Otherwise there isn’t much to discuss here.
For me, Cloudflare and hCaptcha walls are solved problems with things like Privacy Pass. It's Google's never-ending captcha system that prevents me from browsing the web. They continue refusing to support Privacy Pass like other big players for some reason that is certainly not related to free labor and going around US labor laws.
The problem I have with this is that it makes people create and manage an account. My 90 year old grandmother is not gonna manage that.
I made a little hack for wordpress that lets you run a wordpress blog and have a shared security question that lets people access content. A simple question like "What is the name of the family dog?" or "What is grandpa's nickname?", something like that. Not industrial strength security, but enough to keep it sorta private and out of search.
The nifty part is that with wordpress and Jetpack, people can sign up for posts by email, so every time you post, your friends/family can get an email with the updates. No need to even visit the blog. Perfect for grandma.
Yeah it's a problem they don't need to have. A few oathy entrances would help. "Login with Google" "Login with facebook" "Login with outlook", etc. If the user's added foo@gmail.com, it's fair to let foo@ to log in with the same identifier.
Cheapest FIDO2 capable USB keys seem to be around 9$. At that point you could theoretically give our family and close friends a physical key to the service for easy authentication.
Some could even reuse the key for other services, assuming they realize that they need a spare for backup.
Yeah, it would be nice to have some other options besides full-on user accounts. One approach could be to have an expiring token where the post can be shared and accessed for a certain number of days before the token/URL is invalid.
This is a problem. I initially couldn't get my wife's Grandmother to see the site because sending her a password was too complicated. I have since implemented magic links for login. When you create an account for someone you can share a magic link with them or an email/password combination.
Interesting idea, maybe combine it with some fingerprinting? I.e. the first access on the link binds some attributes, and if they change the link expires. Chances are people who need these links are only using one device.
You could set up a magic link that would ask your grandma for her middle name, and all she'd have to type in is Ethel. Then if she forwards the magic link, it wouldn't work for them unless they know her middle name. So like a personalized password with no username. Less secure than username/password but no big deal if it's for a small number of people.
I had that exact idea last week - answer a question that shows you know me and you are not a bot and then you can access my blog and posted photos, but the surveillance machine can’t.
You can hack it if you get access to an older furnace being junked. You need the 24VAC transformer and the main relay (the really old furnaces don't have one of course). Then the smart thermostat (which probably needs the parasitic power from this) can run off that, and your millivolt system can run off the relay contact closure. That said, as always, keep your existing thermostat paralleled to it, just in case.
Drive down ad rates for non-google content, which severely hurt other digital publishers, like news sites. This made it basically unsustainable for them to survive on advertising. Thus, hurt local reporting and investigation, which in turn allows corruption and ineffective government, eventually hurting democracy.
This is already a prominent section of Google's search console and they fire off warnings with with the perceived issues which you validate after fixing, etc. I'm sure it will become a major factor very soon.
Also good to keep non-chrome browsers alive.
