What objective methods do you use to determine that you're keeping the right people and rejecting the right people? I'd love one of these companies to actually hire a control group some time instead of just assuming "well, I

Plus I can't see how it's legal under GDPR.

You can block domains you don't want to see results from. With that feature I'm not sure it even needs to deliver better results than Google to be compelling.

Matt Levine's "Money Stuff" is quite light in tone - and fairly often makes me laugh aloud. Plus it's quite educational for a high finance ignoramous like me. Edit: Probably the funniest is this one: https://a

Mostly I'm using one of the default uBlock origin ones, but custom rules that have made (desktop) Facebook much pleasanter for me: www.facebook.com##div:nth-of-type(8):has-text(Suggested for you) www.facebook.com##div:nth-of-type

The lack of anonymity doesn't bother me at all. More the dance one has to do if one changes phone or phone number, combined with the fact that a phone number is not a very ergonomic thing to give out as a contact detail. I'm not r

WhatsApp is from Meta, and I'm not keen to leap straight back into their clutches. I kind of assume it will end up as infested with adverts as the Facebook one? But perhaps there's reason to doubt that? Signal uses 'phone num

I'm just trying Kagi out now, having done about 2 searches of my initial free 100. So far one was better than google and the other no worse. The "no worse" one was for something where I already suspect there aren't any g

"Spend a penny" is a common euphemism in the UK for using a toilet precisely because that used to be a typical fee on a public one; well before my day though (and I'm middle-aged). Free public ones do exist but they're n

To me it sounds very self conscious, just like a high schooler or youthful university student who has not yet found an authentic voice but wants to sound literate. So probably more about the "high school" than the "Indian&quo

I know, I know, clickbait title - but it's an interesting read and the title is amusing at least!

It won't be visible in the normal apps list. Go to the app list under settings and you should find it there.

I too (Moto G8 Power). Disabled the corresponding "Device Help" app as it doesn't appear to serve any purpose I'd find useful. Amusing if some poor sod accidentally pushed this notification out to the entire Moto user ba

I spotted in 2019 that you could still poke people and excitedly shared the link. Because I am slightly dim I did not foresee the ensuing pokepocalypse... So when I visit that page it's all pokes from that day in 2019.

Might be due to the "strike" taking some other popular subs out of the pool - moved to private or NSFW or lost some traffic for various related reasons.

Because it strongly implies that they are looking for people for whom high school experience was recent enough to be relevant to who they are now. For a 20-something this is (debatably) plausible. For a fifty or sixty year old it is at best

> i wonder what is preventing you from just lying... Integrity? Also the self-interest of not wanting to work with liars and yes-men. Basically the same reason I don't lie during the rest of an interview process.

On paper Canonical is a company I'd rather enjoy working for. I love the product (despite its flaws) and have a lot of relevant experience. I wouldn't even object to the long interview process as such. Written materials? Sure! I&#
