First, you're trying to make two wrongs into a right[0]. Second, why isn't this an expectation. Obviously we can't make news orgs be completely unbiased, but we can push for more transparency. Heck, even breaking up monopol

I use hckrnews too. You can set it to show everything, but its more of a nice CSS skin for the main site. This one seems to do a bit more, and changes things more dramatically. I don't think the subgroups of HN that like hckrnews would

Survivorship Bias [0]. It happens to be that a certain type of rebellious/free thinking personality is the most likely to end up making a successful tech company; but that doesn't mean everyone who exhibits that trait succeeds.

I use DDG, but honestly still go to google a lot. The secret is DDG allows "bangs" -- !g in front of a query is a google search. It turns the Chrome omnibox into an even more powerful tool.

+1 for bandcamp. As a plus, they have sane filenames and metadata for the stuff you download. Beatport, for example, gives you a download with the name of the song + a long hexstring. I started using beets.io specifically because of this.
