Ask HN: WTF is nightly and how did it get installed on my system?
OK. I know it's from mozilla but how and why is it on my system? I've just done a windows update and there's Nightly. Recently installed and recommended.
I love firefox, mainly because it's not chrome. (Don't really have anything against google except for the fact that they are too big and powerful and need to die.)
Browsers are so integral to what's going on on the desktop that I cannot believe that I installed this. Especially since I've never believed that private browsing is in anyway useful or private.
What happened?

Is It Time to Step Away from Coding After 10 Years?
After more than a decade of daily coding, I'm questioning whether to step back. When I take coding breaks, my energy and focus improve, but returning to coding brings back procrastination and fatigue. While I still enjoy the intellectual challenge, the industry’s saturation with AI tools has made coding feel less fulfilling and original. Financially, coding has been my best source of leverage aside from investing. For those who’ve stepped away, how did you find the courage to make the change and replace that leverage (and fun)?

Ask HN: What are the risks of NFC-scanning your passport on LinkedIn?
Microsoft LinkedIn is asking you to NFC-scan your passport to get a "Verified" badge (not sure what being verified does, perhaps nothing, but they sure want you to get it). They use a third-party startup called Persona to implement the NFC-scan; https://withpersona.com/solutions/persona-marketplace seems like they mainly focus on KYC, AML, fraud detection and such. What are the potential risks of uploading NFC passport data to a startup which shares data with LinkedIn? Can the holder of this NFC data then use it to impersonate me on other sites that require passport verification?
