☠️ Postmortem of the day
Most Firefox add-ons stopped working around May 4th 2019 when a certificate expired. Firefox requires a valid certificate chain to prevent malware. About nine hours later, Mozilla pushed a privileged add-on that injected a valid certificate into Firefox's certificate store, creating a valid chain and unblocking add-ons. This disabled effectively all add-ons, about 15,000, and the resolution took approximately 15-21 hours for most users. Some user data was lost. Previously Mozilla [posted](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/05/technical-details-on-the-recent-firefox-add-on-outage) about the technical details.

💼 1000 Coins and 10 Bags
The puzzle from ISSUE-421 ↗️
The dealer should divide the 1000 coins into 10 bags as follows:

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 489 coins.

This allows any number from 1 to 1000 to be created by combining bags.

Why it works: Every number from 1 to 1000 can be represented in binary. Each '1' in the binary number indicates which bags to take. The first 9 bags correspond to the first 9 bits, and the 10th bag (489) handles the remainder. This way, any number of coins can be given by selecting the appropriate bags based on its binary representation
