I just made some this morning, and it came out delicious even with only 6 hours of cold brewing in the fridge! Thanks for the idea!

Joining the party, that was a trip down memory lane!

I had this happen as well and ran the epub through Calibre, converting epub to epub. That actually fixed it and the Kindle accepted the new file.

I totally came here to suggest huge balloons!

If you are interested in stories like this, and how people make life or death decisions in difficult situations, I recommend Laurence Gonzales's book Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why.

Serious question, whenever I read something about a Vitamin D deficiency, or a huge number of people getting tests back as lacking Vitamin D, I wonder -- what determined what the baseline of not-deficient is, and for which population? How were the baseline expectations set?

Chickens coming home to roost.

Do you believe the same thing about email spam detection? Various authorities decide on the validity of email and webspam.

Some other fabulous Chinese novels, not really obscure as they are the most famous novels in China, but not well known to English speaking readers: Dream of Red Mansions/Story of the Stone, an epic about two families and the decline of their fortunes; The Scholars, another 18th century long book of linked stories that's basically political satire; and Outlaws of the Marsh/The Water Margin, a long series of linked tales about bandits that's a little bit Robin-Hoodish as it's really about their political rebellion.

Trollope is pretty great. Especially if you like a long story arc and a large cast of characters, try the Warden series and the Palliser series.

It is definitely a great browser. I think the market share dropping has a lot to do with browser lockin on specific hardware, and site-specific apps being used more and more. We are losing more and more of the open, public infrastructure of the open web.

Well, it's been a truly amazing place to work, and I've enjoyed it so much, right up until being laid off today. Really the smartest and coolest engineers I've ever known and the best community! I have had my hand in shipping every version of Firefox since around version 30 and it's been great. Especially working in such an open environment. Onward to the next adventure.

I actually took those changes in 70, so they should make it to the release version at the end of October. If you can, please try using 70 Beta and see how the power use improves!

Firefox ESR exists for exactly this reason. It gets periodic security fixes but not much else and you can stay on the same major version for a year or so. https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/enterprise/

I would still find it grotesque if she had been 20. Minsky was behaving like a huge sleazebag.

Wild that you would conflate a slap on the ass in a nightclub with an underage girl in basically sex slavery being pimped to a 70 year old. And then going to court over it despite all the danger and pain that exposed her to. Do you think those might be very different things?!

Hi there. You can also refer to the 70 nightly notes at https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/70.0a1/releasenotes/ for now.

Well, a lot of San Francisco did, anyway!

Last night I wrote to Robert Magnusson (the author of the 1968 article) to ask him. Hope he writes back!

I wrote to the author of the system last night to ask him the backstory behind the names. Maybe his colleagues, friends, siblings - I hope he writes me back to tell the story!

Thanks for catching this - the link is in the notes correctly now.

About 3500 bugs were fixed for the Firefox 66 cycle; they aren't all in the release notes though. If you are curious about the full list, you can take a look! The query will take a few moments to run: https://mzl.la/2G1l6Ld

I reported this as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1536481 - please comment there if you have more information or if you want to follow the discussion.

So many of you see this as touching and heartwarming. From the point of view of a disabled adult, this is rather a story of a man who was isolated from his community. It sounds like he didn't have friends in offline life, or disabled friends, or connections with any political ideas of having the right to an independent life. No way to live apart from his parents and manage his own personal care assistants, no college, stuck living at home with parents who treated him like a child. Loving parents are wonderful, but parents who don't enable a disabled young person to have a life apart from their role as child and "patient", are not educated about the opportunities that we have in society or about our rights.

I'm glad he had his guild, certainly. I ask you all to question your emotional reactions to the "touching" aspect of this story. Instead, feel some solidarity, even rage, for the opportunities denied to this person. And, if you are the parent of a disabled child, please get to know some disabled adults, and get familiar with the many writers and thinkers out there so that you can educate yourself, and also, put your child in touch.

The really disturbing thing about this is how devices like this make surveillance even more normal. It's like training your own children to accept what should be an unacceptable loss of freedom and privacy.

Oh, I love that. I didn't have the patience to listen to the radio show but here's a link to an article about L'inconnue that explains a little of the history of the use of the model of her face, and the connection to the toymaker who eventually designed the CPR model! https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-24534069

Wikipedia also does not disappoint, with the lists of literary references to the mask of her face: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Inconnue_de_la_Seine

Several ways: At first, years ago, enough publications or authors asked me to confirm permission to use the image that I realized it was popular. Some of the publications attribute the image to me. The MRI image itself (https://www.flickr.com/photos/lizhenry/2051224366) has my name on it. And, finally, a reverse image search, these days shows hundreds of thousands of uses. I always wanted to use my brain in the service of science and literature, but didn't know this is how it would happen! ;)

Oddly, a lot of popularly used images of the brain are of my brain. I gave a permissive CC license on a still from an MRI of my brain many years ago on Flickr. I've seen my brain on academic journals, newspaper articles, magazine articles about crime, psychology, intelligence, and so on, for the last ten years. The bigger publications sometimes think to obfuscate my name from the MRI itself, but most don't.

When you get imaging done, it's often possible to request a DVD with the images - at the time, I used open source software called OSRIX to fly around the images and pick some stills.

If you open that menu with the three dots, then control-click on the Screenshots menu item, you can add a Screenshot button to the address bar.

52 ESR will still be supported until mid-June. It is supported for two release cycles after the release of 59 ESR.
