I'm very glad that my value scale doesnt concern itself with the difference between $3 and $10, I can't imagine going through day to day like that with that level of granularity. That is literally less than the price of a single pizza. A single potato at the store is probably $3 EDIT: I just signed up for Kagi. Youre out of your mind if this isnt worth $10, holy crap this is awesome. The amount of configurations and…

I'm glad you're making a lot of money so you can afford to spend 10$ without thinking. Good for you.

It's less about money and more about the mental energy required to distill such a granular view of money/value. $3 is basically the same as $10, or even $50. Even when I slept on the floor of an office building and made $10/hr I never thought like that. It is madness to me. Spend that energy thinking how to make $10 more, which is incredibly easy, far far easier than the mental energy micromanaging single dollars.

Can the search result quality be quantified somehow? I remember when Google was new, and I used to use Altavista and Hotbot and those older search engines, the difference in results were like night and day, and Google's results were "wow!" Does Kagi give a similar impression as Google did then?

In my experience it's not that there's better quality results found, but rather low quality results are skipped. There's a lot filtered by default + it's easy to click "block this domain" when you run into yet another stackoverflow copy. It means that when you're searching for code related things, you often get small relevant blogs in position 3+ rather than SEO spam. For example searching for "current time on JavaSc…

If 10$ per hour seems like a low wage for you, that explains it.

It is a low wage... it is literally $5 less than minimum wage.

And also, nothing I said literally changes at all, whether its $7, 10, or $12.

In my country, minimum wage is about 4$ per hour. And as a student, I don't get any wage at all, aside from random one-time jobs and scholarships.

Which is French for "in mass".

The blue ribbon chef was said to be the cream of the cream, so the restaurant owner was happy for him to have white card over the place. He arranged an outside the work of fatty liver, a main course of rooster of wine with eat all, and as the blow of mercy: burned cream; the full menu was a feat of strength! He made sure to wish the diners good appetite. However, when the owner visited from her foot on the ground she…

Well, there are loanwords, and there are calques.

Not only have I never heard that definition used, I don't see how that definition makes any sense in context. The older, more commonly used meaning is clearly the one being used here.

Well that is why I asked. I have heard whitewashing used quite a few times in this way, though usually in the context of film or TV. I very well could have just missed it in the moment. Again, this is why I asked how it was the race-based version of whitewashing rather than immediately going into a debate. I wanted to clarify my understanding and see if I missed anything before jumping down someone's throat, would ha…

You didn't ask for clarification on which meaning was used or even bother to lookup the term on your own first.

I fail so see how providing you with the correct meaning is "jumping down your throat".

Hmmm… my impression was that Google is an ad company, wasn’t aware they did anything but collect data for ads and deliver ads, I’m curious to hear what you work on that isn’t “ads”

Ever heard of google cloud?

Didn’t think it was a real business. But regardless isn’t that also just the services they use internally just externalized for general consumption. So still in many ways supporting the ad business.

The uBlacklist browser plugin adds support for blocking sites in Google searches. https://iorate.github.io/ublacklist/docs

This looks really good, thanks. Works on other engines too. Goodbye Quora results.

Google's gotta make money off Pinterest somehow, based on the most blocked domains on Kagi: https://kagi.com/stats Pinterest is a scourge on the modern web, worse than any other.

I was wondering what would be the impact of being in the front page of HN, it's awesome that their stats are open: almost 2k new members!
