Yeah, that’s the legwork you have to do. Honestly it’s probably not much legwork but if filters like this were more prevalent in say Google for example, it would turn into a cat and mouse game very quickly between search engine users and bl

Pinterest is the real MVP for most hated and most prevalent SEO spam. I would say 7 of the top 10 are just Pinterest, but it’s really 7 of the top 7. Yeesh.

Kagi lets you exclude websites entirely, so… yes with an asterisk that you have to put some legwork in to fully do so.

Some level of uniformity that the issue is about as universal as it sounds across brands based off the description in the article. It is, and that kind of sucks. I mentioned this to a friend earlier and he said something along the lines of

Thanks! The results were what I expected and depressing, but at least now I know.

Unfortunately (or fortunately? But I’m guessing this affects them to given the description of how this happens) I don’t see any brands I actually eat on this list, save for Lindt, but we’re talking one of those chocoballs two or three times

It appears to be a specific provision of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 as modified by the Trade Act of 1974. Specifically, the U.S. Trade Representative can disapprove of the ruling for policy (read: political) reasons. [1] However

There would be an opportunity cost even without Google’s money. Google may not be what it once was but it is definitely still the best in the free-tier search engines you can use today and in 2007 it was several heads and shoulders above an

Look, I like Apple too but don’t get too high on their supply. Apple does the possible but extremely challenging, frequently. Given enough time and money, they probably could be at least competitive with Google, but how much time? How much

Billions have been invested in making a better Google than Google by other entities but most people just want Google. Even if Apple did make a search engine, that’s no guarantee iPhone users would want to use it, and if Google and nobody e

Only if you disregard the 12 banks that makes up the Federal Reserve system each with their own Boards and the Federal Open Market Committee.

Could? Yes. Do we want it to? Not really. We already have private banks, and a lot of them with which to choose to take our business who are all bought into ensuring the stability of the Federal Reserve system through their ownership of the

No, it is Federal Reserve policy, which is very different from government policy, and the way they achieve it is by taking action in the market rather than putting a pen to paper and willing it so (like Congress does) so that you can rest e

The extra layers of abstraction and buy-in from private banks is how we keep politics from completely dominating the value of money. The politics isn’t absent, but it is much more difficult to coerce the value of money in one direction or a

ISPs are already rate-limiting users based off the service tier they paid for. If you’re paying for 250 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up, you’re not getting the 1 Gbps down 5 Mbps up connection that your neighbor is offering. If you choose to upgrad

That’s because it doesn’t make sense, at least if we’re talking about quality. If Google and nobody else had paid Apple a penny to be the default, Apple would still probably have Google as the default because it is still the best of the fre

That’s kind of the fundamental issue with antitrust law. By the time you’re in court, the case is already pretty much irrelevant to the addressable market the prosecution is representing. The fear is that someone will dominate a market so t

> Net neutrality is wildly popular with the public. I didn’t say it explicitly but I think this is the real reason that the ISPs largely haven’t changed their business practices independent of what the FCC says it can or can’t do. They d

Except for the fact that the facts are different. When you sign up with an ISP, you’re signing up for a guaranteed service at a physical location with defined jurisdictional borders and laws governing it. My ISP throttling their New York

What I’ve never understood is the argument that what California does regulating ISPs could actually affect the service plans in 49 other States. Think about it: these are service plans offered through cables that already exist, and that cro

If what the parent said was correct, then it wasn't merely because Sacramento was the capital, so my first guess would be wrong under that criteria. And it makes sense they would list so many Ohio cities if major railroad hubs was the

That does make more sense but my first guess was because Sacramento is the capital and close enough to San Francisco. I’m not sure that the Bay Area was particularly well defined yet either. Interestingly while I was checking the incorporat

Wasps and humans live different lives inside a closed ecosystem with finite resources and energy. The hypothetical civilization the parent is describing is further away from us technologically than we are from wasps.
