> Maybe worth noting that USPIS is older than the FBI. It's the oldest federal law enforcement agency.

The wikipedia page for USPIS claims that. But the wikipedia page of the US Marshalls claims that same honor. I wonder which is correct.

You have to wonder if everyone else offered the prize rejected it.

If your SaaSS app surfaces a few small things from Grafana to the user, do you only have to open source the glue code, or the entire SaaSS application?

> Seems like every time I see coverage about Firefox, it's Mozilla removing or crippling some feature I care about.

Maybe this reflects the coverage more than the reality. Read the changelog and you will see things worth getting excited by, but no one is going to write an article about each new feature and change.

The proof of concept is in Chrome, so it appears Chrome's mitigations are not sufficient.

Even if a check up were $20 what I've described above would happen.

You will see a lot of people using the (expensive) ER to treat their health issues. The reason they are there in the first place is that they couldn't pay for preventative care, so naturally they can't pay for the ER either. As a society when someone who can't pay ends up in the ER we have two options: treat them anyways, or turn them away.

Based on other comments in here, it doesn't appear to obfuscate what blocks of data are being requested. Its probably safest to assume queries can probably be inferred from access patterns.

I keep most of my extensions disabled most of the time. A lot of the extensions have particular uses and don't always need to be active.

Whats the easiest way to resolve handshake names locally without a 3rd party gateway? Is there a FF extension I can use, something that doesn't require a lot of configuration?

If the COVID-19 vaccine is botched, multiple generations will lose trust in the medical community. The medical would lose their cultural authority and their rhetorical high ground against the anti-vaccine crowd and other health disinformation hucksters. The damage from a loss of trust is difficult to understate.

Modern healthcare may be expensive and advances may be slow, but it generally works and people trust their doctor.

The fact that the dashboards and alerts have a delay sounds like there might be difficult consistency stuff going on. Many nodes need to coordinate their usage and billing. It may be a difficult problem, but solving billing problems might not really motivate anyone at the company. It's not a "cool" problem for engineers and not profitable for product.
