The lack of multiple browser profiles WITH cloud settings sync has blocked me from switching from chrome for a long time now.

- Firefox? Sync but difficult browser profile management

- Brave? Multiple profiles due to being chrome based, but they use this weird sync system that I'm not a fan of

- Opera? Sync but no multiple profiles on mac (last I checked)

- Safari? Sync AND profiles, but the safari ui really doesn't do it for me

Hopefully this update to multiple profile UX in Firefox will make it viable for my typical use.


Nice to see more web component stuff.

I'm convinced that web components (and the tech that makes up web components) will eventually find its place in everyday web development. That said, I do think people are making a mistake when they try to use it as a one-to-one replacement for react.


We use them for footers. The brand team can maintain them and I slap the WC link on whatever I'm doing.


Part of the problem with the tailwind debate is that the appeal of tailwind is not just having your styles in your html, it's also having predefined style units, e.g. size intervals for things like margins.

CSS variable libraries like open-props also do this, only without the controversial use of utility classes. Add editor snippets to that and you have nearly the same ease of use as tailwind.


Personally I find the term "intellectual property" to be more messed up. It isn't property, it's a government granted monopoly on reproduction and distribution.

Calling it property allows for this bizarre concept of a form of "theft" that still leaves you with the thing "stolen" from you.


Property on anything beyond that which you're immediately using or occupying is a monopoly granted by social convention (from which laws are then derived). As Jefferson said,

"It is a moot question whether the origin of any kind of property is derived from nature at all... It is agreed by those who have seriously considered the subject that no individual has, of natural right, a separate property in an acre of land, for instance. By an universal law, indeed, whatever, whether fixed or movable, belongs to all men equally and in common is the property for the moment of him who occupies it; but when he relinquishes the occupation, the property goes with it. Stable ownership is the gift of social law, and is given late in the progress of society."

So in that sense I don't think it's an altogether misleading analogy, although of course the ability to copy without taking makes it very different from tangible property. But both are ultimately social conventions, and both exist supposedly for the common good. If that common good cannot be demonstrated, and even moreso if there's demonstrable harm, the conventions can change.


> Personally I find the term "intellectual property" to be more messed up. It isn't property, it's a government granted monopoly...

So, in other words, it's property.

There's nothing that guarantees a particular lump of atoms are "yours" besides a government-granted monopoly to control that lump. The atoms don't care.


The atoms don’t care but if someone else takes them, you don’t have them anymore.

That is a different class of concept than so-called “intellectual property”.


Real estate isn't property it's just a government granted monopoly.

You don't own a car, you have a title that gives you a government granted monopoly over that hunk of metal.

You don't really "own" most things without society agreeing you do.


It might be more accurate to say that the democrats started taking the rust belt for granted. And it's hard to ignore the left's shift (in primary focus) from blue collar workers issues towards race and gender issues.


This I agree with.

I cringed when my co-workers talked about “fly-over” country, but I was equally shocked when Hillary Clinton lost.

As much as I hate to say it, Trump getting elected (wrong person, but gets a point across) shows the system sort of works.

Edit: Just to be clear, I’m a liberal at the end of the day but anyone who thinks “their side” doesn’t have problems, I can’t really agree with.


>I cringed when my co-workers talked about “fly-over” country, but I was equally shocked when Hillary Clinton lost.

That's not taking for granted like you are saying. That's coastal elites and intelligentsia looking at "fly over" working class with contempt. It's a mutual cultural divide equivalent to xenophobia.

>Just to be clear, I’m a liberal at the end of the day but anyone who thinks “their side” doesn’t have problems, I can’t really agree with.

Not a Trump supporter. I'm a "politically homeless" liberal as well.


The "all" in the gp refers to the fought for freedom(s) applying to everyone, not that it has majority support or that is wanted by everyone.


As the saying goes, a camel is a horse designed by a committee


It serves its purpose


Is this the libra digital currency project? How many more rebrandings are we gonna get?


I guess this is the wallet for the currency (i.e. where you out Libra)


Yes, Novi (née Calibra) is a Diem (née Libra) wallet.


How is that "nefarious"? It's not like using a copy nfc tag is giving some players an unfair competitive edge (animal crossing is supposed to be laidback right?). Also, there is a limited supply of any given amiibo and so when one suddenly becomes popular (* cough * Ankha * cough *) many players get priced out.


"I heard of some nefarious characters" is code for "I used my Android phone to write NFC tags and I will do it again".
