I'm quite aware as someone living the situation but thanks I guess.

I hard disagree with you. Individualism is not the root of our failing infrastructure.

Actually put money into expanded infrastructure and staffing of public transport instead of funneling it into someone's pocket. Regularly patrol the cars. Open more shelter for the homeless and institute better mental health policies.

I know people love public transport because of the supposed larger benefit to society but having ridden NYC public transport for over 7 years now I absolutely loath it. The experience is horrible almost every day. Between being crammed in t

My understanding is you can self host and pay a sub and get access to all the other features. I may be wrong.

"Something had to be wrong! I started to notice (increasingly!) my inability to recall trivial things; for example, the action points from a Zoom call, or a quote from a book that I had read a couple of months ago. Surely this can’t be

Which would be advantageous to a lot of big players with walled gardens, which is why I kind of hope this goes to court. Assuming a win it would further enshrine the legality of scraping.

Like maybe it's not clear but google turns around and uses your information in search for ad targeting as well. You don't just improve search which would be largely innocuous but that's not their business.

Uhhhhh but you hand over way more if you use google services. Your right it's not a quote I didn't quote it, notice the lack of quotes. I'm also not sure how you are splitting hairs over "information collected indiscrimi

I don't disagree that personalization is important, I disagree with the methods Google employs to collect that data and then that they also use it against the user on the advertising side. So yeah, Google does well by trampling all ove

I don't generally just browse apps so like if you know what you're looking for and go to it it's the same as if you searched an exact name on the apple one -- but if you're just browsing around it's got a lot of low

Turn off all the data collection in Google and personalization from it and compare the results. They go down in quality considerably in my experience. Even with those features on I find constantly outdated information these days. Yup that a

I think NYU should push them on this. Another high profile case protecting scraping would be great. Also in this case proud to be an NYU alum, great response from the researchers.

I wasn't even attacking their positioning of advertisements among results. I was more saying that I think one of their larger signals (that we know of) PageRank has some consequences in terms of presenting things like a well linked and

General search being ruined is a consequence of how Google has chosen to rank results and not an indictment against search in general though.

Having used it in some early work on our search engine, CC does not update near often enough or crawl a big enough portion of the web to be competitive with commercial crawling solutions. It's a great thing that exists, don't get

Well if you look at the Sherman antitrust act I imagine the answer is whenever the scale and influence starts to touch on things that act says is a no go. Obviously that's a bit over simplistic but probably a good place to start.

Okay so the data is messy and they have a limited set of acknowledged keywords and entity types so will have to work those out ourselves. Got it. That is super helpful information thank you!

Hey there, first off cool stuff I can see this being plenty useful for various projects. We're exploring GDELT data for our own needs and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing what were some rough spots or gotchas using the

A lot of sites do some variation of these when you set googlebot as your UA, certainly the larger more sophisticated sites do. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/80553?hl=en So unless you have a google d

Only 2 companies in the US have an independent English based index with the contents of the entire web. Granted, the sheer volume of data is a barrier to making the index but removing that, only 4 US companies have crawled the entire intern

Hey we do too at Whize, surely you've seen sites that give special privilege to Google and or lock the sitemap away. While I don't know if I'd say "hostility" I would say passive aggressive to other crawlers.

Reddit, twitter, facebook are just three to start. There are plenty that disallow crawlers except google. We've crawled a significant amount now and just because you are unaware of them doesn't mean they don't exist. I can at

Maybe they did initially but the Google of the last 5+ years has been resting on their laurels in terms of search, showing subpar results to drive you towards their ad results. Then they abuse their special status on chrome and relationship
