DuckDuckGo is mostly a skin on Bing search results. By using it, you're saying you trust Microsoft more than Google. If that's your intent, cool, but you're not really getting away…

Don't self-destruct. This may seem obvious, but surprisingly many people get this wrong. There will be moments where you have incomplete data on some situation, yet feel strongly a…

That was 11 years ago. All other big tech firms are doing business in China, by China's rules. Google used to be better than that. It's very sad that that's changing, but again it …

Why would the US House care about Google's business practices in China? I think Dragonfly is horrible, but why would the House care?

> You can personally decide not to use Facebook, which is good. But you can't convince everybody to do that. Pretty scary. Which means Facebook has a shadow profile of you even if …

Safari isn't open source, only the rendering engine is. Doesn't matter to most, but does matter a great deal to some.

The best way to define the problem is iterating on it. This (and other tools) allows you to iterate faster. That's why tools like this are useful.

It's because the notation is pronounced "order of", which is also the vocabulary used when you do Fermi estimation: you don't care about exact numbers, but you want to guess the or…

The GP is factually wrong, this isn't "semantics". Your comment moves the goalpost to "well the aerodynamics help". This is true: The slipstream moves at the speed of the car ahead…

DDG is an ok skin on bing search results, but their pushy and misleading marketing is a huge turn-off to me. And I'm very very sympathetic to the "we don't track you" cause in gene…

That's just a bit over 1k / month -- similar to rent in SF :-P

I was in continental Europe at the time and the sentiment here was "they're going to do something stupid" and far from a free pass.

The domain is called "polemic digital" and -- surprise -- offers a polemic view to cash in on amp hate. That it's doing so well over here is a nice example of polemic half truths d…
