I sometimes use Startpage if I need a proxy for something or to get around paywalls, as it has an 'anonymous view' for all links.

I'm not sure $100 million is nickels, but yeah. CNET used to be ok, if not good, now they're an SEO/AI trash company.

Or the white nationalist antisemite camp, which is larger than I'm at all comfortable with. As a Pennsylvania Jew, though, I must admit to being a little relieved. He's been a decent governor, for one thing, and also I'm a li

And it's not just no one spending jail time in the prisoner's dilemma; everyone walks away with half of the prize. Doesn't change that it's more rational to defect. I think everyone in the prisoner's dilemma would t

Except it has nothing to do with morals and everything to do with the real world. Like a lot of problems, it's the Prisoner's Dilemma, just in a different disguise. Sure, you could be morally superior. But the table is pretty easy

Years before this operation, we were stealing Soviet technology. It was 1959, two years after the USSR had launched Sputnik. The USSR was showing off its achievements to other countries. Most were uninteresting, at least to the US governmen

There's still uBO Lite. I tried it. It's not as good as uBO (it doesn't offer ad zapper, no Javascript, etc), but most of that stuff is probably stuff your typical user won't need, and of the community that does use uBO&

I'm gonna guess it's the authorities. It's usually them. Google is presumably making money off of it and has little incentive to do it, especially piecemeal, while Russia has a history of censoring and often throttling intern

Aside from it being off-topic, what in the world does that have to do with ADHD? Strict rule-following and inability to understand idioms is stereotypically (and of course often inaccurately) associated with autism, not ADHD. A proper joke

Me too. My younger sibling, as a child, had (and still has) allergies (at the time, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, sesame & sunflower). About a year, maybe 2, after starting to eat small amounts, they could do sesame, stovetop (!!) eggs, and

Having COVID, I assume, as most of the people I live with already have it. So, not much in the 'going outside' department. I may or may not be compiling a list of books related to Pittsburgh history, but it's very much one of

Why would marriage matter? Marriage may be an indicator of something, but there are plenty of successful single parents. I can think of several exceptions I know, all of whom are reasonably successful - one a somewhat well-known academic, o

What does 'rich' mean here? $1 million? $10 million? $100,000? $1 billion? How 'famous' am I? Household name? Famous among people who like [area of interest]? This is a sliding scale based on how much money vs how famous

Funny thing is, it wasn't even effective. Most of the decline was before the introduction of the one-child policy, and other countries, like South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong (which is a country for these purposes; it has a

Are they trying to be cartoon villains? Because that's what a cliched villain with no actual personality does. Do stuff with children's cancer [anything]. But yes, just because people can get weirdly used to a war, particularly th

Great article, no comments. I know the angry/dissatisfied people tend to give lots of feedback, but I really enjoyed your article and playing around with it.

Not really surprising. Thus far, the year has been the warmest on record (NOAA says there's a '100% chance it will rank in the top five' - encouraging!)[1] and that includes the record-shattering 2023. The top ten warmest yea

Maybe Musk's taking cues from XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1897/ That said, of course it does. If Twitter sucks, then it is reasonable to assume any particular aspect of Twitter also sucks.

It "works" by forcing people to hide who they are. It's like saying that you got rid of people with brown hair by making them dye it something else, only instead of hair color it's a fundamental part of who they are and

Yes, the technique is cruel. Basically, it involves taking kids, giving them 'good' feedback - eg, access to a toy - if they mask, or act like they are not autistic. It gives them punishments, which in some cases is electric shoc
