   Do Containers support segregated browsing history yet? That's what I've liked most about Chrome profiles. I can have a "personal" profile and then a "work" profile that doesn't comingle the browsing histor

   I don't think OP was implying that. There are Macbooks that look identical in appearance to the affected devices but are perfectly fine.

   > What if someone loses their phone before Apple “fixes” this? As the article notes, they'll have the option to call in and pay over the phone like many other banks allow. It's not ideal, but it's not the end of the world.

   Yep, that's a violation of the FDPCA. It was probably more cost effective for them to write it off than to have to deal with you litigating.

   Apples to oranges. Google losing $1 billion over putting the Konami Code on their homepage hurts because they won't make $1 billion off of doing that. Facebook is likely making a lot of money off of, as you claim, something that is clo

   It doesn't appear for me either on Firefox or Chrome. Maybe too much traffic?

   This one boggles my mind. I probably wouldn't need it often, but there are some times where I wish I had it handy instead of needing to pick up my phone. (And without needing to install a 3rd party app.)

   I think there's a fundamental conflict of interest allowing corporate-backed editors to slip in photos of their logos like that. I don't think it's something that Wikipedia should endorse (and remove when they find it). I don

    I'm a relatively recent Firefox user (within the past few months), so that was far before I switched over.

    I unfortunately lost my container data (luckily I only have a couple set up). To get the fix though, I had to opt in to the Firefox studies. Apparently I had opted out at some point in the past.

    Using your analogy, this is probably more akin to somebody going after a hardware store specializing in hammers to kill people. Sure, the government could spend the time trying to track down each individual patron and bring individual charg

    For sure. I haven't done any research, but I'm sure there are some areas, though, where the % pay cut is less than the % reduction in housing costs, though.

    On the (sad) bright side of living in the Bay for awhile, if you ever move anywhere else, housing will probably all look like a bargain!

    That's rather charitable, comparing this project by Facebook to an academic study.

    No, in this case there's no TV part of it. But I'd still consider the film division as the "media" and the streaming services that can show the films as the "tubes", both of which Comcast would have ownership

    Comcast shouldn't be getting anything. Media and the tubes that carry it should remain separate.

    The Fox cable/broadcast networks aren't part of this deal. They aren't being sold.
