So you think it‘s better to use a search engine openly spewing propaganda than one that tries to curb it? It sounds like the Putin fans who seem to like him „because he‘s a strong willed man who does not change his mind“ as if that was some

Interesting, seems like the Russian „Firehose of Falsehoods“ model seemed to work pretty well on a sizeable demographic of even HN to make them distrust anything: https://www.rand.org/pubs/perspectives/PE198.html

The issue with standards is that they only capture a very, very small part of the problem. Let‘s look at the results: NASA probably uses some of the most rigorous development and testing methods in the world, but I‘d still rather trust my l

Two anecdotes from when I visited a German tank squadron were: "And here folks is our three liter tank. We like to call it like that because it needs three liters — just to start up." Why? Because it has a 90hp motor. That just ex

While you're entitled to your own opinion, I can safely say this study matches my own observations 100%. Having hired and led over a hundred engineers, I wasn't surprised of the magnitude of this finding at all. Yes, happy people
