Bing and thus DDG's index really isn't that good. Is Microsoft an underdog now? Why do you consider them any better than Google, especially after the "tank man" fiasco? I don't see why it's a bad thing to make

DDG just uses Bing results. This solution is completely independent. You may ask why that's needed, just recently DDG was censoring the "tank man" photo on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square because Bing was censoring it. Th

Trying to spin a strict definition of propaganda to include all propagation of information is disingenuous, regardless of where the original word came from. And even then you're wrong, you have to go back much earlier to find the shift

You know exactly what you're doing. It wasn't a big deal then, and it shouldn't be a big deal now. It's cancel culture and you're participating in it. This is an amazing release and I'm glad Brave revived the t

Pretty overblown, been WFH in Texas for 8 years now, the big freeze was the only time we had a power outage, and the only time in my life in Texas we had ice for more than 3 days for that matter. Is it much better WFH in California during f

Our homes are usually very well insulated to keep our cool air in, we also don't usually have multi-stories, just a long ranch home that's easier to cool. What you saw mentioned during the freeze was the conflating of pipe insulat

People are paying for the resource, they should be able to use the resource. If there's not enough resource then the supplier should not sell the resource. No need to shame people for having a preference and using something they paid f

You don't see how acceleration is a relevant metric for a car? Yes, there are other metrics that are important for electric cars such as range and safety, and Tesla leads those metrics as well. Your bias is glaring in your comment, the

Not a great analogy. Table saws try to prevent you from cutting your finger with flesh-detection saw stops. Wouldn't hurt emacs to change the default keymap, just like it didn't hurt table saw manufacturers like SawStop or Bosch t

His categories are false. You think all the farmers that don't have an education are the same ones that choose the brand based on status? No, education is generational. Most younger farmers have gone to a good ag science school like A&

An anecdote is not a simplified model. They were stereotypes. He shoved "uneducated farmers" into the same group of people that idolized John Deere for the brand alone, but did not offer any connection between the two. Typical HN

Try sitting in a Kubota for 12 hours vs a JD. Your ass will be able to tell a difference. At this point it's better to buy a Kubota to avoid the lock-in, but JD is still far superior when it comes to the attention to detail.

The tone of your comment changed dramatically in this reply. You didn't have to say hick, you implied it with your uneducated rant. You simply don't understand why they want a John Deere, and it's not because they are uneduca

Wow. What an incredibly offensive comment. I love how HN understands the right to repair when it comes to their gadgets, but when it comes to tractors it's probably because the farmers are uneducated hicks. Please tell me more how they

They're not limiting any student from talking about it, just it from being taught, because it's indoctrinating Marxist bullshit. No different than them trying to teach Creationism.

Wanting secure voting is not restricting it. Fighting for rights of the unborn is not a bad thing when you believe they are alive at a certain point before birth (some people are fighting simply for abortion to be banned after birth). Antif

Others do like to travel and be able to work without their battery dying within a couple hours. If you like wasting your battery that's fine, but not the typical use case for someone with a portable device. The screen size thing is a s

Many macbook developers do care if it's a native app or a battery draining chrome embedded app. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a specialized CPU, OS & software to optimize battery usage.

So is the Uighur genocide, lets be angry about it all. The difference is, the Uighurs only crime is being ethnic, there are other things at play with incarceration numbers. All races are incarcerated, only Uighurs are rounded up and sent to

Because they were terrorists, we didn't hold 3 million of them in gitmo simply because they were ethnic minorities. Orders of magnitudes in difference. Holding a few dozen suspected terrorists !== holding 3 million people (nearly an en

Complete FUD. Nice article full of nothing to distract though. There are millions of Uighurs in concentration camps right now, sterilized, raped, beaten. https://www.saveuighur.org/camps/ I don't know if you are p

This comment downplays the CCPs authoritarian regime. It matters what you do with the surveillance (Uighur genocide). In many ways China's tracking is much more intrusive. Noone should spy on its citizens, but at least you have trials

I don't think that would solve the North Korea, Uighur, Hong Kong, or Taiwan crisis. Holding China accountable would solve 70% of human rights abuses.
