I think a click stream isn't necessary, but Kagi is not a good basis for the argument in my opinion. Kagi is a primarily meta search engine. The click stream exists on their sources (Bing, Google, Yandex, Marginalia, not sure if they u

I was tempted not to respond, but honestly this comment makes me slightly angry. As someone who is young, and works on software this comment does not seem very worldly to me. Have you seen the US government, Japan, and other places struggli

I don't see any ads outside of the app store on Android (and obviously the web browser). Microsoft puts them in the start menu which seems very different to me (I would be very angry if Android put them in the launcher). I do customise

Well, I don't know what to say other than that: a) I want to import my bookmarks b) I can't enter any of the domains I care about as I mostly have obscure tastes due to the above two issues I was unable to actually see how the pro

T-Mobile has open ports on IPv6 (at least as of a few months ago). I was curious, and tried hosting a web site from my phone, and it worked flawlessly (assuming you are willing to abandon IPv4).

I was trying to learn more about the ranking algorithm that Alexandria uses, and I was a bit confused by the documentation on Github for it. Would I be correct in that it uses "Harmonic Centrality" ( http://vigna.di.unim

I'm very curious to learn more about this as I thought it was easily possible to opt out of the overly aggressive defaults of GCC, Clang, and the like.

Minimum wage is closer, environmental standards are somewhat similar, and laws can be passed on a federal level. It is just as easy for workers to change states as businesses while internationally it is easier for businesses to change locat

I have never seen captchas from another CDN that I can recall. I believe that is partially responsible for people's opinions.

I agree, but keep in mind that children grow up in a society, and make friends in school. You are influencing their relationships by restricting their internet access.

I did a quick study on an Epson Ecotank printer 3 or 4 years ago, and I found "random" colored pixels that were added (for example a single cyan dot in a large circle of pure cyan changed to a pure magenta dot... like that is a na

Well clearly we can't remove analytics, and if we changed analytics to a different (faster) provider someone would have a cow... We could lower our image sizes, but let's be honest that would result in the dreaded JPGing. Our Java

I think it makes them feel appreciated when others are thanked as they now feel that they are part of the group (who is being thanked). Their individual donation doesn't need much praise if any. I agree with one of the other posters th

I realize many people don't care about credit cards spying on them, but I do value cryptocurrencies offering alternatives. From what I understand the Apple Credit Card was somewhat of a similar attempt (Goldman Sachs isn't allowed

My gut tells me that that patent falls afoul of the "with a computer" problem ( https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/06/supreme-court-sm... ). Replace computer with human and they sound ridiculous

That is mostly due to the company (Docker) not doing it the usual way. Normally they should have a build server, and then have a few line install. First is to add their repository, second is to install the software. From then on you just us
