Exactly. I don't ever mind public transport. I have used public transport in multiple areas of the planet. There are two quips: 1. You have to be there in someone else's time. You can't have 5 or 10 or 30 minutes if something

Not GP, but from my end- a big yes! Also better than DDG, which is better than Google nowadays. I also use phind and code.you.com.

I read some days back on HN that even Yandex is better than Google nowadays. And I apologoze for shilling a Russian company, but it is true! For some queries, Yandex is better than Google. I have replaced Google completely with DDG for most

I can confirm that Youtube runs ads on demonetized videos. This includes- videos where the creator didn't monetize it, videos that were monetized at first, but got monetization removed after review of reports, and videos where the crea

I use Firefox. China requires all companies to hand them data whenever they want. In the West, there is at least a semblance of proper reason required for the law enforcement to demand your data. I don't think that US government mainta

Exactly what goes on inside such groups? How are the candidates trained? Do you think that some undeserving candidates get in because of the polish? Do candidates from here go on to do hard subjects like Maths, CS, Chemistry, etc.? Or most
