Hmmm, from a quick search, https://getmemex.com/ might be what I want. Needs a tiny bit of research whether it's something I actually want in my browser.

Ah, fair enough, finding a thing I've seen before has never been in my powers too :( I was very happy when someone announced a project to make a thing that indexes your own search history. I believe that it had a Mozilla affiliation. B

Can you provide some example queries? I work for Google, but nowhere near search. I'm just curious whether that's a difference in search bubbles, as I haven't noticed this problem.

Indeed, you can't share in that case. The work of the distributor, as described in the article, is to make them share by unifying all those and requiring libraries to have stable ABI.

You can't deduplicate if your 200 applications are using 20 minor versions times 50 mixes of compile flags. You're lucky if any two share the same output.

That's only against overhead shockwaves and states in the article that serious advancements have been made to protect from other types of damage.

Good point. Good question. Confidential answer ;)

You really missed the point. It does not matter if the "secret sauce infra" is better than equivalents. What matters is that the code you have is based on it. And since literally everything is based on Stubby, which has a hard dep

Another subthread here states that ads on search are a majority of Google's revenue. Looking at [1], we see the US being 46% of the revenue. So, assume that search in the US pays for 20% of Google's revenue. Apparently Google&#x27

> Apple tells app devs to use IPv6 as it's 1.4 times faster than IPv4 Do you have better insight than Apple?

Network-wise this is a feature. Having the address space reflect network layout allows for vastly simpler, thus more efficient, routing tables.

You probably could take them out after the car dies and use for another decade or two, if you found a good use for them ;)

And what if Google buys 5% of every player in the market? ;)

Now, think about search. I know a guy who named his company using his last name and after 20-odd years got told by some customers that searching for it yields dick pics. He suspected a googlebomb... But no, it just happens that his name is

Brand recognition? Customer goodwill? Not everything needs to be outright profitable. Google has a lot of money to spend on sending small gifts in random directions. Source: as a Googler I got paid to literally "go find some vulnerable

I'm using mine for over 3 years over bluetooth, somewhere between 10 and 20 hours in a regular (pre-covid) week, the battery feels like new.

Google reached carbon neutrality in 2008 I believe. What did it get out of that? How does that motivate the others?

Pebble raised $10.3M in Kickstarter. I didn't find how many units that was, but with retail price of $99 that should fit your criteria. Also, was using eink.

That's another downside of the system: learning that is too much effort, unless they land in your team. But knowing how we hire only obviously overqualified people, I trust he did well.

It does exactly what it says on the tin - Google stops collecting data you tell it to stop. This lawsuit, from a quick glance, is about Google not preventing "hundreds of thousands" of third parties from collecting, including thir
