I don’t know. A multipolar world might lead to more wars. A unipolar world isn’t fair but when no one is near-peer with the toughest guy on the block, a fight is unlikely to break …

It’s still keyword-based. They just weight the appearance of the keyword in the documents now.

What does “Hated the name Harry and got it removed” meant then? Sounds like the poster got the name removed. Also it was his grandfather that gave him the name “Harry”, not his par…

Companies like Apple kind of do it for you as you upgrade from iPhone to iPhone and data from your old phone is transferred to the new one.

I think people’s GoogleFu has also gotten worse. A lot of examples on this page of bad google results have natural language queries. Google is a traditional search engine. Traditio…

Google isn’t answering your question. That’s not its job. Its job is to find websites talking about what you entered as your query. If all people are doing is speculating … that’s …

I don’t know if Google has degraded. I mean I haven’t noticed it. Maybe I just search mostly common stuff. For niche stuff that Google doesn’t know much about, search engines like …
