What? Do you not remember the war on terror or covid? Americans would bend over and ask to lick the boots for the nutritional value if a world war was going on.

Eh, even in his niche we have people like Gwern pioneering in the aesthetic web movement. I'm not sure I buy the web is dying so much as the cultural conversation revolves around the larger platforms ($$) along with in general web disc

I get that the scale of this problem is dazzling but think that fundamentally you do not have a solution if you are copying pagerank (even adding upvotes etc.) for queries that haven't been screened by your staff. I think you need to t

Sure, I'll give you a recent example that I'm #1 in on both Google and Kagi: 2NE1 ages I can go through this list and see you are exactly the same, except you leave up more spam. Just one example of thousands I've looked at.

Sure, my niche is entertainment, so let's search anything in the international music scene and check out the rank orderings... Lo and behold it is exactly the same as Google pagerank.

It's very well done-- really props to the Kagi marketing team, (you have a duckduckgo-style marketing book for sure to sell) but if you read a lot of hackernews you see the same stupid pattern over and over again in these Kagi threads

What? My niche is already dominated by the same SEO spammers as Google on Kagi and always has been. Kagi just takes google results... I swear some of you guys it's like we're not even using the same software.

>Counter anecdote, none of the people named Ashkenazi that I know are Sephardic. One's family is from Turkey, I'm not sure during which period they immigrated to the holy land. It is possible that they came to Turkey from Spai

A little etymological sidenote: Sephardic is just the Hebrew word for Spain, whereas Ashkenaz was one of the great grandsons of Noah associated with eastern and central Europe. However, when you see a Jew with the last name Ashkenazi, it&#x

Uh wrong-- we aspire to be like Hungary-- that is to say with enough hard work and deportations maybe one day we can reach comparable levels of civilization as our Magyar overlords but it is far from certain.

The first aqueduct went up in Rome around 300 BC. That is half-century before the Punic war... No, not that one with Hannibal... The one before that. That's a longgg fall.

It's surprising how many times you see this pattern on HN "Google sucks!"(50 upvotes) "That's why I use Kagi!"(45 upvotes) "Actually Kagi has the exact same problem and you have to pay for it."(2 upvo

LiveJournal of course famously got sent on a long march to Russia because a group of photographers didn't like that they were using their photos while having an active moderation team. Did you catch the ages of the judges that decided

Which was the type of unforced error that almost brought together the Molotovian facist-communist tagteam that almost destroyed the entire world. And Poland got occupied anyway. Truly Metternich-level stuff.

We just added an appeal system to our wiki-database for kpop at kpopping.com... There's lots of little projects going on that resemble the old web, you probably just don't hear about them because you're outside the niche.

It sucks being out of money and then you have to fend off the "why aren't you more dedicated" line of questioning when you had to find an alternative to keep the company alive

There are about 5,000 worker fatalities in America every year, with a third of them being falls. When was the last time you fell? What would happen if there was no floor underneath to catch you? Personally I'd imagine the vast majority

I don't know but a Peruvian once told me that when God created South America he gave the Peruvians the titties from lake Titicaca and Bolivia got the shit left over. I never quite figured out what it meant.
