I mean it's not exactly privacy focused but if you just use it for spam then Google Voice or Skype numbers would work fine for this.

Oh man. If I could get unlimited 4G home internet and have multiple ISPs to choose from that would be the dream.

Politically speaking, it's probably not the best idea to have one organization issuing all SSL certs used on the web.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that FAANG stocks have "consistently" beaten the S&P 500. Most of the FAANG companies haven't even existed for long enough to draw meaningful conclusions from. The one that has

I think it's important to also remember that you can use Android without any of the Google services since it's open source. The same can't be said of iOS.

If you want to plant trees you could always pass your savings from Bing rewards onto a direct charitable donation. I'm only a moderate Bing user but still get like $10/mo in rewards.

What would be the business model of Android if they were an independent company? It's FOSS so they can't really charge licensing fees. But they'll still need to make enough money to keep up with iOS.

There is a Python library called Newspaper that is designed to do that. I believe this is what outline.com uses. There is also a JS library called readability which is what is used by Firefox's reader mode. https://newspaper

I have a theory that Apple chose the privacy route because it was their only serious way to compete. Apple simply doesn't have the AI chops to compete with Google. They were already years behind in ML when they started their privacy ma
