Vouched. Ignoring the political football present in the article - the concern is valid but limited. The idea of a kill switch / immobiliser is both interesting with many advantages, but a huge concern how such a thing might be abused

Most of the scam phone calls when I eventually manage to get the number which has called back, (scammers usually hang up on me pretty quickly as I'm a bit deaf and they've only got so much time to fleece people) are numbers that o

If I search the same - I don't even get sponsored ads with DDG with your search terms. I generally get with my own searches one or two sponsored ads at top of page before the real results begin. This is the main links from the first

To be fair, for a good search even 10 years ago using google, the better the user supplied additional context / keywords, typically it pushed out results closer to what was desired. However that said, IMHO google used to be better at

There are sadly people who love and work hard to do what they do ... and those who don't who are more there for the paycheck and / or only know as much to repeat what they learned by rote and don't really fathom / appre

Vouched as it seems like a legit problem. I've not been in quite in your situation, but have had points in my life, where either failure / accident and illness, forced a hard look at what I was really capable of and a change to th

In reality, no, but I'm sure it's those sort of excuses they'd trot out if queried. Most any product that starts to get top heavy, paying $$$ profits to shareholders and big bonuses, will eventually ask for more money from th

For many their local or state network infrastructure bottle neck would still exist for a couple of decades assuming pre existing technology. Site designers would of course assume it is totally ok to start using 100 meg API all the time to l

I would be unsure what works with Win 10 or 11 and newer hardware, but most probably bootable solutions are out there which are fine tuned towards Win 10 or 11. Ultimate Boot CD and Hiren's Rescue CD could have some tools that will tes

It's a vague assertion, since I don't know if you're referring to layout, or a dozen other things, all of them ... or especially the BS I hate, the site or website relies on some external APIs and it ain't gonna play n

Ah well google lawyers ... wouldn't surprise me the least if those lawyers would dress a devil up as a sweet lamb - however reality is as pestatije puts it, adding discerning users who can recall 10 years ago and what a real search

Up until the 80s such principals were touched on in senior school classes of chemistry and physics. While I would assume most people in my locale once having a strong agricultural connection and can do attitude to fix things, have understo

I used to use google extensively for research purposes for verifying data and correlating it etc. I started back in the days when google could only use 10 words in a query. I did have access to a better search engine at that time, but us

In Australia, many companies have started to rely on location services ... in particular google's borked version of it ... even if their map is marked correctly - they are two totally separate things. It took me a while to try and

Apparently you (tuga) meant the former judging by your last comment 20 hours ago ... there wasn't any evidence prior to that I could see.

I suppose that could mean at HN but I first read it as in, in general, search engines, links in people social feeds etc. If it is the latter, than yes, use a deny list with either OEM or a third party tool will do the trick. Further a list

Thanks, not everyone is plugged into twitter, I'm not though I like many others do read links to tweets when posted - I mod at a forum that has a policy on links not too unlike HN, so bye bye twitter unless there's some sort of

I stopped using google a while ago for various reasons. Actually looking over today's results again, I think those results are for links visited from the search and not topics as a group - noting Madonna has come up twice. Sorry about

There are various lists around no doubt. I imagine there would be differences between search engines, but a fairly good representation might be had from google trends [1] ... I've set the location to US. [1] https://trend

I've vouched since this was marked dead but perhaps it should have been titled Ask rather than Tell. It depends on how the entire project was funded and structured, and it sounds a little bit like an official grant - I'm probably

Agree other comments, it's not gaslighting. Knowing what terms mean is sort of important. As for out there and up a tree, if there are facts, they are always welcome. However much of it often isn't. I'd say one of the bett
