You can't create tools for censorship in China and support a free and open Internet. Those things are completely opposed to each other. Pointing out the actions of other companies, the good things Google has done, or the fact that they

This should bother people here more than it does. The last thing the Internet needs is even more dependence upon Google. They've made it quite clear through their actions that they're not supporters of a free and open Internet: h

So we don't really get to know how it works as there's nothing but vague details. I've known from the beginning that it's mainly done through algorithms. I'm sorry, I don't trust Google simply because they assu

There's nothing wrong with them having sex in itself, there's nothing wrong with him helping her get a job in itself. When those things are connected though there's a problem. And I doubt that's the case with Newsom, so

Sleeping with a married superior to get a better job really brings someone's character into question, but maybe the bar for corruption in US politics is set so high people don't care anymore. With Google you get her policy proposa

No, if anything I'm more convinced they're different because they produce significantly different results when searching for "Kamala Harris". She slept with Willie Brown, who was already married, and then he helped her g

What happens when a human being reports a prediction? Is that done purely by an algorithm? I still see nothing with real technical details in the three articles you linked to.

How is the decision actually made, does a person decide? I don't really see any real technical details there, I'm just supposed to trust Google.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. The "tabloid-y results" that are also the truth of how her career started are not her smoking pot in college. You don't even know what I'm referring to because Google's r

Both Alphabet and marketers are biased, I have no idea why it would have to be one or the other. A search engine fails to produce results about the biggest scandal of a politician's career, and I'm supposed to believe it's si

The "tabloid-y results" are also the truth of how her career started, strangely missing from Google. I think the biggest bias here is people wanting to believe Google's search results can still be trusted.

DuckDuckGo is not Bing, though they have some worrying connections to Bing/Yahoo. Interesting note, Bing's results are much more similar to Google's, with no mention of what happened between Harris and Willie Brown. There&#x2

The first 3 results are the same, then Google tends to be glowing endorsements for Kamala with absolutely nothing critical. Google: "2020 candidate Kamala Harris says her top priority is raising incomes" "Kamala Harris: young

Yahoo is just Bing wearing different clothes.

As far as I can tell it just downloads the page. Nothing is parsed until you click the link, so there really isn't a reliable way of telling which images to load until then. You could write something to parse the page and download imag

I think what you describe is actually common, but those companies tend to stay small and local so they don't make the news.

Gambling is a great way to generate passive income so long as you always win. Personally, I've found side-projects to be valuable even if they're not profitable. You gain experience, knowledge and you might even enjoy yourself too

I think it's simply because many people here dream of some day becoming the next Gates, Bezos, or Elon and they don't really empathize with the thousands and thousands of people whose hard work actually creates that ridiculous amo

So they're undermining worker's rights to protect themselves from lawsuits? And I'm supposed to be okay with it because them pushing to get the rules changes for their own gain is not lobbying, it's a "legal defense

A while ago you could get away with doing front-end dev with nothing but a text editor and an FTP client, compared to those days I can see how things seem absurd now.

In my opinion, things like this ought to be major scandals that undermine the newspaper as legitimate news source, especially if 90% of people can't tell the difference.

I just got one with nearly the same wording. "I am aware [old password] is your passphrases. Lets get directly to point..." sent from 202.140.33.240 using the spoofed email address oo@r.com. The bitcoin address is different: 1ELze

Their marketing is effective at convincing small business owners they're one of the best choices for hosting. That's pretty much the whole reason they're so successful.

This sounds more like a problem with people not knowing how this works in Javascript and not a reason to avoid this altogether.

I've personally worked with a number of "web developers" who can barely code HTML/CSS. They tend to fall into two categories, people who use Wordpress themes/plugins to take care of everything they need, and people

I'm not claiming it makes much sense, but it's better than having to download all the files every time you want to play a game built for browsers.

I believe you can just wrap it in something like Electron and then upload the whole package to services like Steam.
