- embedding-shape 9mo agoInstead you worry about Microsoft axing it? Sure, it might take 3 years instead of 6 months, and the shutdown period would be 1 year instead of 1 month, but hardly either are long-term solutions.
- aylmao 9mo ago> it might take 3 years instead of 6 months, and the shutdown period would be 1 year instead of 1 month This matters much more than people (and evidently those within Google) realize
- embedding-shape 9mo agoIt matters more the shorter your future planning is. Neither works if you're looking forward 3-4 years, for example.

- aylmao 9mo agoWhy wouldn’t it work if you plan ahead 3-4 years? Planning ahead doesn’t mean you never suffer from unexpected events, including depreciations. And long timelines help you as much as anyone else.
- sumtechguy 9mo agoHaving been downsizing my horde of computer junk I have several large boxes of full MSDN disc sets. There is a graveyard of MS stuff that is no longer supported. The only thing with MS is they seem to give you a better off ramp usually than 'oh well sucks to be you'.
- thayne 9mo agoBing Custom Search was discontinued last year. Although duckduckgo probably has some kind of special contract with Microsoft.
