Great tool, thanks! Question - What are good ways to deal with dead zones?

All the ad hominem attacks on Bobby Fisher in this thread are by the by. One can accept that he was paranoid, conspiratorial and antisemitic -- which I do -- whilst also accepting …

Is it the case for anyone else that searches on DDG are not returning results?

Could you explain what you mean by no one understanding thermodynamics? As in Maxwell, Einstein, Wiener, and so on - none of them understood thermodynamics? I think at stake here i…

In what part of healthcare are men systemically impeded from involvement?

I can't speak for your particular experience at school, but in general I think it's a shame that people whose lives are, as you say, "privileged" by the systems in which we live fe…

Problem: There's a massive gender imbalance in CS and amongst the coding community. There are loads of men and hardly any women. Most of half the population would never consider wo…
