I prefer to splice them, personally, I like a challenge.

Not to splice hair, but Google isn't just "surviving", so the amount needed for DDG to survive is probably even smaller than that. They don't need to be as profitable as Google Search (which is much more profitable than

Are we sure this isn't a false positive?

Indeed, the part that they illustrated with Pong does show that in environments where you lose packets or have to reconnect there should be a more noticeable advantage.

It can be confusing to compare the mortality rate of cases in hospitals (which are be definition the worst cases) to the mortality rate of all infections (many of which never get to hospitals or get officially diagnosed). Gotta make sure we

I'd use the DDG iOS app if only the search field wasn't at the very top, out of reach in one-hand phone typing... It's terrible UX on anything but the smallest phones out there.

It is, but that wasn't anticipated at the time and Amazon didn't reveal its margins until much later.

This is exactly what happened. Verizon probably didn't know that most of the traffic they were buying were because of adult content, and then they killed that. I wish they had sold it to Pornhub instead.

Exactly. Every market correct feels like it's going to be the big one as its happening, and most of them pass.. By the time people start to feel like maybe it's over, market levels are usually well off the bottom and so everybody

And it's a known biological fact that during teenager years the circadian rhythm is affected and normal sleep is pushed later in the night. Having teens wake up early is literally fighting biology and can't but have negative resul

Seems like they should add a visible toggle switch that allows user to decide if they want the timeline algo to weight likes or not. Hey Twitter, it's not bad to give users a little choice.

I love quality private labels. One more is good news. Competition keeps price low and quality higher. I buy a lot of Kirkland stuff at Costco, some Great Value stuff at Walmart, and increasingly more AmazonBasics stuff on Amazon. My rule of

There are many other LCA studies, go find them. They all say similar things, and it makes sense when you think about how many gallons of gasoline or diesel a car can burn over its useful life (15-20 years).

If you look at page 29 of this LCA by Audi, you can see that they show an ICE car's impact at about 20% manufacturing, 80% usage, and around 1% recycling at the end of life: https://www.audi.com/content/dam/co

All the Life cycle analysis I've seen (don't have the sources handy) have shown that the vast majority of an ICE's car's impact is from the fuel that is burned and not from production, usually around 80% driving and less

Inertia is hard to fight. Sometimes all it takes is one player in a market doing it and then everybody else follows/feels they have to also to compete. That's one reason why Tesla was such a catalyst for the whole industry and EVs

Hyperbolic discounting is a very common way to be irrational. Humans are not very good at thinking long-term. Bezos became the world's richest person in part by extending his time horizon by a few years longer than most CEOs.

Wouldn't Apple design the whole thing internally without needing help from Arm? They have a world-class silicon design team in-house.

Electric is more efficient/cleaner than that. You might not get the same range, but realistically, few people drive that far without stopping (biological needs, taking a break, etc), so that provides time for fast-charging.

Burning it elsewhere might not help when it comes to CO2 emissions (though if it ends up being burned in a much more efficient engine/powerplan, at least you get more useful work out of it), but it can help a lot when it comes to healt
