The phenomenon you're describing psychological flow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology) Where time perception starts to skip as the brain becomes hyper focused on a task. One of the things I've

But then it's a good thing from the 9 other secretaries' point of view where they didn't consent to being harassed sexually, which is the point.

Also new technology = new plateaus to explore. Internet really boomed and flourished in mid 2000's, and then the mobile and the app space took off in mid 2010s, where we had new content/ideas/innovation. Even way before then

Just FYI, Virtue Signalling is a pejorative that implicitly marginalizes and accuses someone of abnormal behavior. The GP here is calling that out even if you didn't specifically use the term "virtue signalling" in your or

Yeah, we were lucky in that we had a couple good options locally for produce other than Whole Foods too. The Safeway has gotten really bad, and the mail services I tried were all over the place.

Nah, we've successfully reduced spending on Amazon by >90% in our household. There are still some obscure items that, due to the sheer spread of Amazon, are incredibly difficult to get anywhere else, online or off - but that was Ama

Reuters doesn't use paywalls. Is it blocked in other countries?

Is that really a bad thing though? For the 1/10 times at work where the person in power ends up having a meaningful relationship with an underling that you lose, you also have the 9/10 cases of sexual harassment that you lose too.

>If there were 100 good search engines the price for advertising would be 90% lower Would it really be that much though? I thought search ads were auctions - i.e. competition for impressions/clicks directly correlates to the price o

Could also be the fact that Google has built a ton of new data centers in the last two years. Newer hardware, infra, utilization, etc. could lead to better quality/lifespans.

> but the search is still anonymous Is this verified though? I ask because Brave is known for some shady things, like pushing their alt coin or sneaking affiliate links into internet browsing.

by bduerst 5y ago
IIRC, Brave Search is a skin for Bing and Google search engines. These fed orders went out to Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo.

According to Forbes (who published the unsealed the docs), nothing is known about whether or not Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo are even complying with the requests, or to what extent if they are.

Tether keeps moving the buck. First it was all USD backing, then when pressed, they said they actually have it all in bonds/securities, which is just as nebulous and doesn't make it any more authenticated. It's not verified

You can do third party verification without storing the physical credentials. Parler was many things, and poorly designed was one of them.

Crypto markets maybe, but not main indexes. Experienced financial players smell tether for the scam it is and don't touch it, or I'd they do, they're in on the grift. Laymen who bought the hype stand to lose a lot though.

Hmm, I thought Apple had switched to requiring pin/watch for face ID unlocks because they were not totally secure. The same could be said for fingerprint though. I think the more secure biometric unlocks require the occasional pin ver

I thought face unlock has been a security vector for the iPhone, and that even Apple is thinking of dropping it?

The inevitable A version (like the 5a) will likely have one.

Yeah this "what about white men?" doesn't feel genuine given there is a white man on the page, the new tensor feature for detecting POC, historical context of marketing in general, and the fact the Apple iphone page is comp

I think the bigger point here is that it's impossible to know either way because DDG doesn't undergo independent verification of their privacy. It's closed-source code from a privately-owned, for-profit corporation based in

Terrible analogy. You don't need hands to shoot a gun, and the hands-less man would still be issued a warrant if there were evidence he was the shooter. The point is that being issued warrants and claiming to not have search logs are

Steering wheels are available but sold separately. You have to attach them via dongle, but the only input port is in the trunk.

Hardware performance and design don't seem to be the same here though - XPS could have gone with a better camera in their smaller bezel and GP's point still stands.

You can still do mini- and micro-hdmi, but by that point you may as well do more usb-c.
