Don't think it has worked though. People in generally don't seem to give a shit. Everyone is worried about day to day stuff - the price and availability of housing (getting kind of stupid now), inflation, job security, trouble wit

I don’t know. A multipolar world might lead to more wars. A unipolar world isn’t fair but when no one is near-peer with the toughest guy on the block, a fight is unlikely to break out - that toughest guy often plays police too so war among

It’s still keyword-based. They just weight the appearance of the keyword in the documents now.

What does “Hated the name Harry and got it removed” meant then? Sounds like the poster got the name removed. Also it was his grandfather that gave him the name “Harry”, not his parents.

Companies like Apple kind of do it for you as you upgrade from iPhone to iPhone and data from your old phone is transferred to the new one.

I think people’s GoogleFu has also gotten worse. A lot of examples on this page of bad google results have natural language queries. Google is a traditional search engine. Traditional search engines run on keywords. You enter the keywords y

YouTube search doesn’t even respect the “exclude word(s)” operator “-“ anymore. Freaking useless. Imagine trying to find videos on the Cyberpunk genre and getting nothing but videos on that buggy video game that came out a few years ago.

Google isn’t answering your question. That’s not its job. Its job is to find websites talking about what you entered as your query. If all people are doing is speculating … that’s all Google will return.

I don’t know if Google has degraded. I mean I haven’t noticed it. Maybe I just search mostly common stuff. For niche stuff that Google doesn’t know much about, search engines like DDG seem to know even less.

I take it contributing to SS is voluntary? Else it’s kind of like robbery. When you take a job with a pension, you run the risk of not being able to collect that pension if you die early. But it’s your choice to take the job.

Frankly, the SEC is probably feeling their way around too. They have an internal model of what is and isn’t lawful and they sue based on that. But that’s their internal model, not the actual law - as decided by politicians and the courts. T

With the internet (and image hosting sites / YouTube if you are lazy; but YMMV) making stuff available is easier than ever. Whether your audience can find your work is a separate matter … it is available.
