<p>This week I read about Firefox improving users&#39; privacy by default, why the GOP and conservatives are wrong about &quot;censorship&quot; on social media, nuclear energy, and a weird bit of tax policy.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/3/20848629/firefox-69-block-third-party-tracker-default-enhanced-tracking-protection-android-windows-mac-os">Firefox’s latest version blocks third-party trackers by default for everyone</a></p>
<p>It&#39;s nice to see Firefox standing up for user privacy as the default option.</p>

<p>No, Twitter is not breaking the first amendment by banning you.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/5/20850763/climate-change-cnn-town-hall-democrat-candidates-nuclear-energy-2020-elections">Democrats are divided on using nuclear energy to stop climate change</a></p>
<p>Much like the last 40 years, nuclear power is still an unsure prospect.</p>

<p>Just an interesting bit as to how tax policy can have some strange effects.</p>


Reading List 9/2 - 9/8

<p>This week I read about a spouse&#39;s experience with the aftermath of an NFL career, Apple at least partially embracing the right-to-repair, and the benefits of code deletion.</p>
<h4><a href="https://deadspin.com/my-husband-is-dying-every-day-1837411982">My Husband Is Dying Every Day</a></h4>
<p>The NFL is a grueling sport with lifelong consequences for those that play the game. Andrew Luck&#39;s early retirement given his injury history might be a blessing in disguise for himself later down the line.</p>
<h4><a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/08/apple-offers-customers-even-more-options-for-safe-reliable-repairs/">Apple offers customers even more options for safe, reliable repairs - Apple</a></h4>
<p>It&#39;s good to see Apple making it a little easier for us to repair our iDevices.</p>

<p>Sometimes getting rid of code can be even better than adding new code.</p>
