If JWST was designed for two years and a hard shutdown it would have flown years ago and we'd be on JWST Gen 3 by now, doing actual science. JWST's design lifespan is not significantly driving its cost. Its cost derives from its

Is it time for a Federal Department of Verifying Whether People Are Who They Say They Are? After the colossal theft of employee information from the Office of Personnel Management, I have no faith that the feds would be able to ke

I've been tempted to write something that goes a bit further. I'd like traffic to each site to be routed through proxies with different IP addresses. (Perhaps even to the point where my devices are automatically managing a set of

How about also responding with censored Russian and Chinese news stories, history, and the like? Seems like a decent way to respond to Kremlin astroturfers and friends, too.

I've had a fantasy of not just using different browser profiles (effectively) for each site, but routing requests for each site through a different personally-run cloud-hosted proxy. Someday maybe I'll get around to setting it up.

I'd wish they'd also restore themselves to the proper location on the proper virtual desktop. With hundreds of windows, typically organized by task, I dread having to reorganize things every time Firefox (or the computer) restart
