Indeed, crazy. Some people think having a child rewrites of a lot of core routines - apparently also those involved into self-preservation. I'm sorry if that comes out as offensive, but this strikes me as something a virus or a parasit

Yes, the same product with an eink screen on the back would be nice... but different. Personally, I like taking notes while reading a website, and this requires a dual screen. Lenovo has other laptops with eink on the bank, but I'm not

Unfortunately, it's not a genuine eink display but a rebranding of Qi hybrid LCD that was made popular in the OLPC. Just look at the announced resolution in dpi in b&w vs color, and you'll see they use a LCD mask in front. If

Yes. We shouldn't dismiss the weight of non-technical people voting with their dollars. They may not care about i18n, but they do care about cute emoticons. So we get not just unicode support everywhere, but also character pickers insi

For now, the french Qwant has as litle ties to the US as the swiss Crypto AG had a few years ago. But since that country is part of 9-eyes IIRC, I wouldn't place a lot of faith on that

I use Bing (and Edge, and Windows 10...) but for the average HN reader that's not cool enough. Tech is more and more about personal branding and following the hype train. DDG is in. Bing is not. Also, for the older crowd who came from

It's a bit more than just hype: it's rebranding Bing results to make them more palatable to a EU audience, while guzzling on public subsidies to pretend it's a EU unicorn and gather support from nationalists. There are actua

Didn't you wear a covid mask? Simple solution: just wear sunglasses on top. Then simply refuse to remove either. It's about creating a shelling point: face scanner work on the pre-covid premise that most people were NOT covering t

Isn't that the clone that's using bing results and public subsidies to pretend it's a EU unicorn and gather support from nationalists? Sorry if it's rude, but that's my take on it - a public subsidies scam. The hatr

I would pay good money to be able to talk directly to their SQLite, without any abstraction layer inbetween, to get some extra performance/lower latency - and I don't think I'm alone. In fact, even if it wasn't SQLite bu
