Whatever makes you happy as a user. If they make you think your privacy is respected, all the more power to you. It really boils down to this: Can you trust a small company that chooses to grow via smearing campaigns, provides sub-par resul

What was your query ?

No need to take my word for it, just search on both and look at the 10 blue links. Makes you think why they present Google as compromising your privacy, but they're dead-silent when it comes to Microsoft. Or Yandex, their other search

You do know that DDG just serves Bing organic results, right ?

No. In fact, in the end he shows a list of approaches one might think are related but turn out not to be, and computing convex hulls is one of them.

I've heard multiple times that for a startup to succeed, it needs an idea, a great team to execute it and funding, and that it is enough to have two out of these three. Invariably, the people that say the latter are the ones that have

this is an outrage: there are only 18,514 startup ideas in there.

FWIW, thank you for (re)posting. This is very intriguing and I did not know about it.

It is as if knowledge about them was methodically wiped off history, or more likely (since history is written by non-engineers) it was not understood well enough to write about it.

The Clickspring creator hasn't provided updates for months on his Antikythera reconstruction, but recently he updated his patreon supporters of the reason why: He has discovered something new about the mechanism, previously unknown, th

Sure. Some may even find your stance too sympathetic. There are countries where, today, executives would be jailed or executed for the harm they've brought upon their users. Such insane views are the norm for other countries, but not f

It's quite simple: 1. FB's market cap is $573bn. 10% is $57.3bn. 2019 Q2 profits were $1.6bn. 2. By your standards, it is perfectly fine for a government [entity] to tell a private company: "If you don't do exactly as I

FB's net profit for Q2 was $1.6bn. Close to a year's profits were wiped out from this fine, which is roughly 1% of Switzerland's GDP. I don't see how this is laughable. A fine of 10% of market cap is close to the company

Your conclusion makes no sense. Google had an obligation to report these fines. How else would they had done that ?

The apt name would be Microsoft/Linux. But that would give Stallman an aneurysm.

A car is significantly more complicated than its design language. It would probably make sense to contract for designing the next Tesla car, which he would not be able to do while at Apple.

This site is ancient (the printer used is from mid 2000s,) which makes this all the more impressive. PCBs with 1 mil traces are still quite expensive to prototype. OTOH, if you need such thin traces, you also probably need multi-layer PCBs.

I don't know what is more hilarious: the fact that you would pass judgement on a ~$1TN company based on the experience of a disgruntled employee [1], or that HR makes technical decisions in your company. [1] mind you, I feel Claire is

Weird economics for this one. They claim to produce one piece of plastic every 60 seconds. Probably with post-processing, this translates to a part per 2 minutes, or 240 per day at most. In this low volume, you'd need to be selling hig

Can't really call it a speedup trick, since it actually improves the performance of the embeddings but in terms of qualitative understanding, I see where you're coming from.
