I don’t think GP’s claim is entirely accurate. Bing is an input into the results, along with other inputs (Bing is less than majority responsible in most cases iirc). I don’t remember if DDG does any indexing on it’s own. Hopefully someone

I feel fairly uneasy about my ownership of my cat. I live alone (besides the cat) and am probably gone 12/16 waking hours per day and obviously asleep the other 8. During the remaining 4, I’m probably cooking, showering, or recreating

The pure mathematician is a relatively recent beast though, and most non-graduate students of math (i.e. almost all of them) study mathematics that almost exclusively was developed to solve a problem in the physical world.

Does this resonate with anyone else? Is there any studies on this? I’ve had a similar experience over the past few years — a ton of work focus (at a FAANGM as an ML scientist/engineer) combined with limited social interaction and I’ve

I would fairly shocked if the CCP didn’t issue guidelines for history textbooks in addition to a post-publication review for approval.

Sure, I might be okay with that for a niche community. But social networks tend to be monopolies or oligopolies due to network effects and general audience social network apps (which TikTok is) empirically appear to be the main for platfor

Did you miss the section about Hong Kong and the blanket ban on political/protest content? The latter is very Brave New World-esque in that it both “keeps the app fun” and acts as a means to suppress dissent. If they have the capabilit

The designer of the software should be liable for bugs that cause life and property damages. This makes sense morally, and the costs incurred from damages should be factored into the costs of pricing a driverless car. This protects the cons

I have no idea what relevance trade history from hundreds of years ago has to modern geopolitics and economic globalization. Historically, Europeans didn’t know North America even existed and the USA wasn’ta country

The brain-dead obvious response to this is that Jeff Bezos isn’t hiding his money under a mattress. He’s (directly or indirectly) investing in ventures that employ people anyway, and the mechanisms that allocate his investment funds are pos

Isn’t figuring this problem out what the FAA has been doing for the last five years? If we’re going to have public nuisance drones at the end of the day anyway, why they just let it happen earlier? My understanding is that drones will opera

Unfortunately though, whatever natural selection that occurs in a post-civilization world is might be sort of orthogonal to improving human civilization when civilization returns. We’d surely get some beastly hunter-gatherers out of the dea

I don’t think the government has shown it has a position on the issue really. China is not a gay-friendly place though — gays often hide their homosexuality from their parents and parents often insist “it’s a choice.” The younger generation

From what I’ve read in mainstream US news sources, Europe, NATO, and the US have no faith in Turkey’s ability to execute its plan. And setting up a mini-state isn’t something you can really mess up without having catastrophic humanitarian c

The app developer supposedly made $150 before the app was taken down. Hardly a successful cash grab. If people didn’t feel the app provide value worth the cost of its services, they can choose not to buy. What is Google’s place in the makin

As I mentioned above, the Chinese are undoubtedly extremely sensitive about HK (I would argue due to propaganda but that’s irrelevant to the question). There is some amount of authenticity this (definitely at least 50%) and the HK protests

While this definitely exists, I’m not completely convinced the true intensity of the Chinese exactly matches the front that Beijing allows forth. I’m confident that most Chinese are unhappy (maybe very unhappy) with the comments, but an ent

Is this really a good thing? 1. Indiscriminate collection by law enforcement is bad to start with. 2. Since we agree it was bad to collect such data, we’re going to set a precedent that law enforcement can’t have exclusive rights to that da
