Shameless Kagi shill here - the company's leadership is shaky and has a recent tendency to focus dumb AI things, but their core product is 2012 Google. It _feels_ even better than …

You're liquidating the 800M and still owe your broker 200M, it's risk avoidance not a church full of forgiveness.

Can confirm, gave up Google Search + Gmail about 6 months ago and it's literally improved my performance at work. It's impressive what is missed out on when an ad is papered over e…

Drew used to be a hugely inspiring developer to me, but recently he's spent more time politicizing than anything else. I find it difficult to understand people who nosily theorize …

> Everyday random things If your searches are this descriptive then yes, I'd expect useless results everywhere. I use Kagi where Bing used to be, for technical reference lookups. I…

Anecdata; I did. Best $10/mo I've spent in a few years.

By that logic, life itself can never be popular. Everyone in the world makes/has access to a non-zero amount of money, and where it goes is our collective human decision for how th…

I hate to be that guy, but the vast majority of people using "VPN"s are actually using Proxies. A VPN connects a laptop at starbucks to a printer at the office so you can print som…

Not OP but I do something similar, because I know each ad I see costs someone $$$. This leads to odd behavior like making sure I let youtube ads play for their full duration and I'…

You've still got a different IP that'll count against # of users for the account

> For each letter in the password, write down a common name that begins with that letter. Read the list of names.

Ancdata, but my mental health is doing great from all these social network changes! First leaving Snapchat for AI nonsense, yesterday I left discord over this hullabaloo. The large…

Easily worked around, video element w/ the restaurant's opening doors as frame 0.

> There is plenty of sway happening in the upper class I mean my anecdata says it _looks_like_ there is plenty of sway - the end goal of course is as always distraction from useful…

Agreed, I don't care how much you own but if you tell me how to live my life we're not gonna be friends. stcroixx, go have fun building the future yesbut will be complaining about …

wastefully

At that point what keeps companies from leasing stuff instead of selling it? That approach sounds like the easiest way to avoid taxes ever, and it has the side effect of making own…

I always advocate a good hybrid approach; flex fiscal policy and aggressively tax bad behavior. Eg "Expected value removed from economy is $100m, govt. wants 20% of that". The ince…

User: What does the java garbage collector do? Assistant: The java garbage collector does two things: 1. Deletes objects of all types from the memory at once, and 2. Collects and c…

I knew their stalks had fewer buttons, but everything? Eww. Very glad I grabbed an Elantra before it gets the axe next year, it's essentially a model 3 minus 90-degree autopilot.

I imagine the ideal market for this product is diabetic children; both the finger pricks and CGM need to break the skin, while this is the equivalent of picking your nose kinds of …

I've said the same for ages, based on a simple algebra: given a budget B producing product P, B can be composed of many things. The most important subset of B is the funds used to …

Idk for most safety-critical stuff you'll run a realtime OS, and all important sensor polls will be pinned to a core. I assume industrial controls could have 40-or-so sensors that …

Woah, that's a huge lifetime shortage. Anecdata++; Last macbook pro I had lasted 6 years, sat in storage for 2 years, and at the moment my sister is using it as a replacement for a…

Many think it's overvalued by around 50-500x what the company is worth. From what I've seen they're very good at cash management and continually invest in company facilities, very …
