Could you clarify what you mean by 90% ads? I would assume there are always organic results right after the top 2-3 ads, has this changed somehow? Also you say the results were "all from different sites". Is that a good or a bad t

By "damning", do you mean that the quote alone is obviously sufficient to materially tip the scales in favor of the government should the antitrust lawsuit occur? If so, what is your best guess as to why the executives (who surely

From the title, I thought it's a horror story about how people got ground into a powder, mixed with some plants, and fed to the chickens. So the actual events didn't sound too bad by comparison.

While it makes an awesome headline for a tabloid or HackerNews, it's not necessarily imporant. See comments on Reddit that provide some thoughts on that: https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/p970st&#x2

Thanks for taking the effort to explain this. Regardless of whether I like the story, it's interesting to try to understand what the author was attempting to convey.

I can understand that some art cannot be (usefully) explained; I imagine paintings, especially modern art, might end up in that category. It's very common, however, for people to explain what's going on in a literary work such as

Yes, case fatality rate is 1.8% but infection fatality rate is quite a bit below 0.5% (the exact number is unknown since no one in the US is doing random testing properly). Bubonic plague infection fatality rate was 50-70%, so over 100x lar
