> Failure to pick problems that are relevant for both will result in increased decision making complexity at all levels of the organisation: do we optimise for impact (the environmental problem) or for revenue (the customer’s problem)?

I've been an climate tech entrepreneur for the past 7+ years, and the most reliable way I've found to accomplish the combo viable-business + climate-impact:

1. Get a job at a revenue generating climate-change-fighting company (solar, EVs, policy/regulatory consulting, etc.).

2. Keep your eyes open for pain points that your company (or especially you in your position) would pay money to solve.

3. Quit and start a company solving that pain point (or if you're not the founder-type, go work for a company trying to solve that pain point).

I suppose this kind of strategy would work in many other industries, but it's especially effective in climate tech, because:

(a) As OP mentions, the pain points are very hidden to the general public, so you really need to be actually working inside the industry to find and understand them (since energy often has very complex business models and regulatory constructs).

(b) By focusing on finding pain points for already climate-change-fighting companies and solving them, your impact goals are already built-in, since you're enabling more impact by default. So you don't have to worry as much about finding the magical combo of viable-business + impact.

(c) The climate-change-fighting sector is so young that many of the pain points are still major issues and don't have many viable solutions yet. In other more mature industries, many pain points already have established companies solving them, so there's less of green field for new companies.

Anyway, for people looking to fight climate change, by far the biggest thing you can do is join the industry and make a career out of it. There's so much ceiling here!

Of these, do any have a funnel tracking feature that shows what visitors went through a specific series of pages/events? Seeing how users moved about the site and seeing how many converted is a deal breaker for me.

You sign the envelope containing your ballot. Then, when they receive it, they verify the outer envelope is proper (signature, etc.). If accepted, they open the envelope and dump your ballot into the box of accepted ballots. Finally, later, they open the box and count the ballots.

This process keeps your vote anonymous.

The EFF sells some removable stickers that cover your laptop camera while still being able to close the lid fully.

Been using them for years, and they work great!

While it may not be a good idea for an individual to do this type of job, it can be quite lucrative for a business.

If you're a business that can get its products embedded into the "default procedure" of your customers and only get noticed if you don't work (e.g. Stripe, Twilio, AWS, etc.), customer churn is minimized and continued revenue is the default.

In the past, a team would wait until the statue of limitations had lapsed before publishing their evidence.

Is there a setting in Firefox that allows you to whitelist specific cookies and ignore all others?

That combined with Firefox Containers would make for a very powerful combination since you could have different containers that would be your logged-in interface to a specific site, without then having to allow other sites be able to set cookies.

Have a link?

Do you have any examples of this?

Is there a way to integrate a phone call-in number to Jitsi? Maybe via Twilio or something?

Keep in mind that state unemployment websites and call centers are often overloaded and there are many complaints that people can't even file in the first place.

It's is highly likely that these high numbers continue for additional weeks because all the people who couldn't get through will manage to get through in upcoming weeks.

Helicopter money. The fed has fired up the money printer and will shovel cash out the door to any company that can take it and retain/hire people (though I suspect a substantial chunk of that will be raked by business owners and financial middlemen).

The reason that helicopter money won't lead to hyper-inflation is because the entire rest of the world is just as fucked as we are, so the dollar will remain the safest currency no matter how much the money supply is increased.

Battery and electric vehicle lifetime costs (including electricity) are rapidly approaching the manufacturing and maintenance costs of internal combustion engine vehicles. That means that even if the fuel is free, it will be cheaper to operate an electric vehicle.

Low oil prices can delay that cost intersection, but won't prevent it from eventually happening because internal combustion vehicles are more complex and costly to maintain even without taking into account fuel costs. So as long as EV manufacturing costs continue to decline and electricity continues to get cheaper from low cost renewables, ICE vehicles will eventually become obsolete no matter the oil price.

We've been looking into Osquery. It's open source and appears to be very lightweight. Has anyone else used it?

I believe that's tracked in Bug 1210729, which is included in the overall hardware video playback tracking Bug 1210726.

Relevant comment for X11:

> (In reply to lilydjwg from comment #30)

>> I'm glad to here that, but what about support for Firefox on X11? Is it given up?

> Hardware decoding is platform independent so it generally works under X11 as it's implemented as Bug 1616185.

> For whole playback chain see Bug 1610199 what's needed to be done fox X11.

> I was closing this one as it refers to HW decode only, not the playback.

> The overall video playback is tracked at Bug 1210726.

The third party doctrine.

Unfortunately, it's unlikely that we (at least in the US) will find the political will to change the law that says if you give your data to a third party, it is no longer protected by the fourth amendment and doesn't require a warrant to obtain.

So self-hosting your own data seems to be the only way you can keep your data protected by the fourth amendment.
