On February 27th, per the article: "The fire at the hangar was detected at 11:13 a.m. on Sunday, according to the NASA data, which is obtained from a number of NOAA and NASA satellites."
There are often other extensions that we find too precious to delete them, however we need them only at specific occasions. For those, I came up with a “meta-extension” to easily disable or enable them:

That would be the first three years of the Internet.
GAFA(M) omits Netflix but not Amazon, since it stands for Google Amazon Facebook Apple (Microsoft)
Something I miss in Firefox, is that the webextensions `management` api does not allow to toggle off/on extensions other than themes. It's no secret that some of the most popular browser extensions require a wide range of permissions to work, while being useful only occasionally. This restriction prevents to have on Firefox a quick toggler without leaving the page like (author here) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/extension-manager/...
Re:Apple's New Map on Thursday November 01, 2018 @09:56PM (#18360117)
I think the improvement goes beyond greenery information, although the latter is the most obvious. If looking carefully, one can also spot a significant improvement regarding water surfaces. Those are useful reference points. Granted, they are often outside of where people are living, but this is part of a process making the map more accurate and probably more automated than before, which is a laudable thing. In my opinion the new map is also more pleasant to the eye and all in all, I would rather use it over the old one.
Love the clear and intuitive interface. Congratulations! Would be nice to have a way to input a free amount, imho.

Cool 404, by the way.

Couldn't you use unpkg.com for this?

"type n -> press down -> press enter to get to hacker news".

It's even shorter as you can skip the "press down" step. At least in Chrome and Firefox.
