Even Bing doesn’t display the same results that you get from their API. It’s also trivial to boost certain websites and influence rankings that way. But doing that doesn’t change the fact that it’s just a Bing wrapper with some simple boost

We don’t know that. I mean all they have to show for it is a privacy policy and a few articles saying “we value privacy”. If they truly cared about privacy then why wouldn’t they be open source? I feel DDG can be compared to Apple in many w

It is in the context of Trump supposedly “making it cool to be a racist”. You’re not replacing Trump with a pure and just candidate like Sanders, but rather with another racist (if you believe Trump deserve to be labeled a racist) who’s bee

And Biden has a history of being pro-China, and have made it clear that he wants to end Trump’s China tariffs and treat China like we did during the Obama/Biden administration. I’d say that’s far worse, and I wager the hundreds of mill

It’s possible that many Republicans did cross the aisle, just like many Democrats (such as myself) did so as well.

The allies, just like Biden, have no interest in standing up to China. Tariffs definitely work, because if they’re high enough then companies will be forced to leave to setup shop elsewhere (such as Vietnam). You can also see that China’s G

Sometimes it’s necessary to make sacrifices to try to stop an evil regime. This is one of those times, and besides war then there’s no other solution besides trying to isolate China from the rest of the world and hurt their economy. Trump w

What value does DDG bring to Apple? Its user-base is insignificant (Apple will instantly have a larger user-base the moment they set it as the default in Safari). The branding is terrible, especially for Apple. There’s also nothing special

Why DDG considering they’re for-profit, closed-source and basically just a Bing wrapper with little transparency? Seems like it would make more sense for Apple to build their own Bing wrapper, team up with Microsoft, or build their own sear

The time the article was written, and the purpose for which it was written, is irrelevant. What’s relevant is the fact that it’s now being used to not-so-subtly attack Trump. Maybe it’s a coincidence, or based on keywords in the article, or

The history repeating itself is the world’s inability and unwillingness to make sacrifices to stop China, similar to what we saw with Nazi Germany.

You don’t need to boycott 100% to be effective. Boycotting 80%, or even 10%, is surely better than doing nothing. I’d also say it’s surprisingly easy to boycott Chinese goods, as well as companies kowtowing to China.
