Very good point. That sounds similar to when I try to explain why it's good to try to exceed expectations. It's hard to give a convincing reason because the benefit is often indirect or intangible. I'll look out for statistic

Math verbs - that sounds like something that I could go through and clarify with him. Thanks.

He's a bit older than that but your comment about the honesty still applies. And interesting that you bring up the previous level of study. We made him do a lot of Khan Academy when he was a bit younger and he seemed to make good progr

I disagree - to me the inflections in his on-screen speech sound predominantly American. (For the record, I'm British too)

To back this up with an example, we (DuckDuckGo) tried to look for open source projects with 501(c)3 status or similar for donations, but many projects or organisations don't make it clear. The alternative was to look through online IR

Just want to point out that the answer shown here is a snippet pulled in from the user-approved answer on IT Security StackExchange (see the "More at ..." link). Clicking on "Show More" will display the whole of the user

Even that censorship test understates the complexity of the problem. For example, "how to make playing cards" is not a superset of "how to make playing cards disappear".

That doesn't seem like a practical solution. One keyword can change the expected search results dramatically, for example: "red ford mustang" and "red ford mustang toy", "wall street 2015" and "wall s

Thanks for the details. I've reported the d20 ones - there was also !d&d that should go to the same site. For Zillow, it seems appending "_rb" to the end of the address makes it work so I've requested that. We do get

Now that's an interesting idea. It's already possible using the `\` trigger, e.g.: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=\getusermedia+site%3Astackoverflow... but a short syntax such as `\!so getusermedia` is a potential alte
