DuckDuckGo (Bing) and Startpage (Google) work fine for me 90% of the time. To keep things mixed up, my new browser tabs use Startpage, while DDG is the homepage. The !bang syntax at DDG can be especially handy, and Startpage provides a

Not a hack, but the universal remote in my living room is a Palm m500 running NoviiRemote. It works better than anything else I've tried, and people are giving old Palms away; think I have three of them at this point. Also, it's

Those Reddit comments, wow. Every single user that endorses the service writes with the same broken English. Totally legit, astroturfing. That said, anyone dumb enough to buy a hitman online would probably trust those comments. I mean, ju

Good point. But, for pedantry's sake, your analogy is backwards. The person you're replying to is questioning the accuracy of Fakespot, which would make them a competitor. A shill would be endorsing the service, or placing doub

It varies, heavily. There are many calculators out there that try to answer this question, just drop "youtube revenue calculator" into your favorite search engine and a bunch will come up. Take the estimates with a grain of sal

Now this is my type of dystopian future; those are very cool, like something straight out of Bladerunner. Fashion with a function, all that's missing is a clear raincoat.

You'd have to be pretty vigilant, and it would require others to do the same. There'd have to be an equal, or greater, amount of photos tagged as another person. Who is this other person, anyhow? Where's their account? All

I get what you're saying, and it's absolutely true. But, at one point I had to step back and look at Reddit as a whole, and decide if I wanted to be a part of the overall community. Do I want to actively ignore my neighbors by w

Reddit has suffered from Eternal September for quite some time. There's a really good article on this subject that I can't seem to locate. But, if you put Reddit into the Wayback Machine, you'll see the frontpage transform

The author links to that video in the article, which shows that she's aware of the games that are played. They're using bully tactics. Did they have to show up on her family's doorstep? No. Did they really have people watc

Asimov summed it up nicely: Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge

Pretty sure the up-tick has more to do with socioeconomics and the drug war than anything else. I don't have any sources at hand, so take this with a grain of salt. But, I've often seen it argued that Reagan era drug policies wer

I've got an anecdote! Back in college, I worked a part-time job caring for high-functioning individuals with developmental disabilities, in a home health care environment. There was probably one male for every twenty females on staff.

That is already out there too, with Purism Librem laptops. The commenter you're replying to would be better off giving his money to a company that puts privacy (and FOSS) above all else, instead of trying to bribe a lost cause (let&#x2

Thank you. onewaystreet touched on something that's quite bothersome to many of us: End-user apathy via argumentum ad populum . Using (or buying) adware, malware, and spyware is not normal, and everyone isn't doing it. When that

I used AllAdvantage back in the day, mouse moving script and all. Ran it 14-16 hours a day on a second computer and made $40-$60 a month. Can't complain. The down-side was the overhead, it was a noticeable strain on my computer, whic

Between NoScript and Random Agent Spoofer, nothing is correct except my resolution and a couple of plug-ins (like Flash and VLC). Shutting NoScript off doesn't make too much difference, and I don't think RAS does that much (some

Are these fossils the origin of the unicorn myth? None of the articles I've stumbled across have an image of the actual fossil, I'm curious how similar it is to a horse skull. They were surely extinct well before the mythology,

First, don't set deadlines that make things difficult. Give yourself time to do the job properly. If the client is too demanding, they're going to be a problem in other aspects of the job as well. Gaining respect first comes fr

The page won't even load for me, that's good, right? Paranoid mode FTW! Turning off NoScript and Random Agent Spoofer doesn't help. Still running: uBlock, HTTPS Everywhere, Disconnect, and BetterPrivacy.
