I've made a promise to myself to start paying attention to this when I do searches, but so far that promise has gone unfulfilled.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that I think I see quite a few SEO hackers pop up on the first page, to the point that it's sometimes difficult to find anything meaty.

I'll try to keep an eye on it this week so the next time DDG comes up I can contribute something substantial (and substantiated).
The same reason that any ddg bang is useful: fewer keystrokes, one less page load.

What do you to accommodate people who aren't natural writers?
It's funny that someone responded to you with that, I was going to mention that HN'ers would deride you for taking a 2 hour commute.

I'm in a similar situation, though to be completely honest I don't mind it much. I lived in a big city with significantly more choices and while it was undeniably better, I don't really miss it.

> If I search for things like "car mechanic bristol", DDG comes up with lots of results from Bristol, Tennessee. It's not that DDG is worse than Google, it's just that DDG isn't tailoring the results to what it knows about me.

If I wanted a car mechanic in San Francisco, I would usually search for "car mechanic 94105" rather than "car mechanic san francisco". Regardless of search engine.

Do postal codes not work to refer to particular areas of the UK?
I love how you're getting downvoted for stating basic facts. 3 people in America own more wealth than bottom 50% of the population. Similar situation in Canada where fewer than 90 the richest families own more wealth than 3 provinces combined.

There was a brief period in the early 2000s when AMD had a clear performance lead in 32-bit and x86-64 datacenter stuff.

This was at the time of the first generation Opteron CPUs (single core), which could be configured in a dual socket motherboard in a 1U server. They had a good price/performance advantage over Intel, which was also at the time a single core per socket.

Around 2006 or so Intel started pulling ahead and AMD never really caught up.

With the development of things based on the zen/zen2 cores, now may finally be the time...
My experience with DDG has been exactly the same, not just with programming- and, in my case, math-related search terms but also when I look for personal websites of people in academia. On Google, it's usually the first search result but it often isn't even among the first 10 in DDG.
You're looking at this the wrong way: factories used to have the power to mandate unpaid leave under extraordinary circumstances in the past, like state of emergency. Should something like that be declared, you don't get paid, or, if you're lucky, you get state paid sick leave, like most European countries, which is way lower, than your salary.

In this case WFH really is for your benefit, for multiple reasons: staying away from people (eg not get infected that easily) and keep your salary be keep working.
I wonder how many sales they miss out on because you can't mix AMD and Intel in VMware clusters.
"They generally know your location via tower triangulation."

Correct, but to clarify - they know your SIM cards location. In my case this correlates to a corp name and no actual personal name (mine or otherwise).

"Also, I wouldn't be surprised if in the near future, KYC is required to buy any SIM that connects to the network."

I suspect you are correct and I think this is already de facto practice for a consumer purchasing mobile phone service in the United States. I suspect, however, that an EIN and a corp name will continue to allow SIM provisioning without associated PII.

Something to consider: we are promised many, many more 5G SIM cards on the network than there are people on the planet. Most of those SIMs will be provisioned by corporate entities and, therefore, the ability to procure and deploy SIMs with no PII will persist ...
It's a pretty poor study, to be honest. The pattern I tend to see on Hacker News with studies is that they go unread beyond the abstract (often not even that when a press release is linked, like here) and people just chime in with their anecdotes that confirm their own personal beliefs.

It's "remotely comparable" because it has been argued that the Soviet economy only worked as well as it did due to slave labor, i.e. that the gulag existed primarily for "slave/forced labour for economic gain". And people make similar arguments about the colonial powers.

> The colonial system is precisely the opposite: the main purpose is to extract value, through extraction, trade, industry, etc, from the colonies to the mainland.

That's your opinion; I don't think it's true. I think the point of colonialism is an attempt to guarantee the nation state's survival. Churchill:

> We shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

I don't pretend to know whether or not colonies were a net-benefit economically. But, either way, I don't think economic arguments provided the fundamental justification for colonialism. I think the colony exists for the same reason the family, the polis, the nation state, and the empire exist, which is a desire for immortality or, if you prefer, an attempt to prevent the achievements of men from being obliterated by time.
Home Depot lets you sign up to have your receipts emailed to you. Turns out if you do this they will send what you purchase to Facebook with your email, which was connected to my account.

I use Firefox to avoid being tracked by Facebook, and never login with Facebook. But it looks like I slipped up in signing up for email receipts!

Even if I didn't have a Facebook account, Facebook would still be building a profile on me using my email address /phone number in anticipation of the day I made an account.
> I want to be able to secure my computer (an ATM, say) against people with physical access to it. A root of trust (that the original purchaser of the device controls) allows for that.

Why not generate a unique key for each device on first boot? isn't it a fact that the original purchaser does not have control of the trusted computer platform. Trusted as in the OEMs trust they can control your computer.

I guess. But we already optimize these things. Without any specific domain in mind, I wonder how much better we could get. Like maybe amazon could find the global minimum cost to route, but right now it’s getting pretty darn close.

Or maybe that’s entirely naive and the potential for finding faster solutions to real time problems is huge
Children used to work because they had to in order to survive. The choices were work or starve to death. Taking away the option to work obviously makes them worse off. This plays out today when western countries force labor laws in countries like Bangladesh. When the children can no longer work in factories they often have to resort to prostitution.

The question of labor unions is a different issue. Labor unions do benefit their members who do get raises because of their actions. They do not benefit the people who will no longer get hired because the cost of labor is now higher. They do not benefit workers in other industries because the prices they will pay will be higher and displaced workers will enter their industry lowering their wages. Labor unions harm society at large in order to benefit their memebers.

I'm not super familiar with how Android does it's versioning, so I may be off base here.

The article mentions the S6 being vulnerable, but it had its last update 6 months ago. It also says versions below 7.0 are vulnerable, but the S6 supports 7.1. It also says the most vulnerable are phones from 2012.

I don't think it's unreasonable to say an 8 year old phone may have some security vulnerabilities. I personally don't know anyone with an 8 year old phone. I'm sure they exist, but I don't think this is an Android exclusive issue.

Further, Android is the defacto default OS for phones. Every shovelware burner sitting in a bin at the convenience store is running some version of Android. Saying "1 billion are vulernable" is surprising in that it's only 1 billion.

These include the phones that cops hack into by placing the phone in a machine that tries every pin combo between 0000 and 9999 until it unlocks.
Funny you should ask. This morning I was apparently talking in my sleep, angrily saying "Don't delete my fucking search terms!" I've been using DDG for about 5 years but I feel it's actually been getting worse in that it more often randomly deletes terms when whatever I'm searching for is too specific for it's heuristic. On the other hand, Google does the exact same thing.
This has always bugged me because not providing even security patches is straight-up malpractice in my book.

Given all the attention lightning cables get in terms of e-waste, someone should ask lawmakers worried about e-waste to consider the impact of Android's enforced obsolescence policy -- no security updates means the device is effectively vulnerable and not usable.

Google and all the big handset manufacturers (Samsung, Xiaomi, etc) could easily provide updates should they choose to -- some of them release multiple times a a year (e.g., OnePlus; and Samsung introduces new products throughout the year) but don't have the resources to provide security updates? Give me a break.

I'm hoping they do the right thing before legislation forces their hand.
That's the article author's clickbait headline, not a statement from AMD. So why the indignation at AMD?

That's different. Those are used in places where having a cord to a power source is impossible or impractical, so we accept the trade-off.

But if my assumption is true, you might burn a bunch of coal to make these windows, and then never offset that energy use (because the windows break/stop working after X years).
I hate this whole new way of handling receipts.

If you order via kiosk in Taco Bell, you have your receipt ONLY by text message or email. Yep. No print out option.

HOWEVER, if you order via cashier, you CAN print it out.
> Exactly. 9 out of 10 managers will give you more money.

I don't know - man. I've worked at a lot of places and this doesn't seem to be a common thing. It could be I've just worked at a lot of bad places but still. Asking for more isn't enough. It has to be the threat of leaving in order to get them to give more. At which point - the advice now for managers is, if they're threatening to leave unless you pay more then just let them leave.

You could do the math if you look up the half-life of caffeine. Via a quick Google search it looks like it is 4-6 hours. So if I understand it correctly, it's 4-6 hours for 100mg to become 50mg, then another 4-6 for 50mg to become 25mg, etc. So like if all you did was have a single cup of 100mg coffee, then its like 12-18 hours for it to go away. If you're me though, you drink like 3-4 a day. This seems to be about 28 to 42 hours. Withdrawals could take up to 2 weeks in my experience, and are proportional to how heavy my intake was.

Currently use YNAB and it drives me bananas. The way it refuses to reconcile budgeted money for a CC against the interest/fees for that card as monthly payments often go out BEFORE interest is assessed for the month, requiring a convoluted interest bucket and juggling. I'll give this a shot.
Pair programming was introduced with XP over 20 years ago. I think your perception of what’s trendy is miscalibrated.
> My mobile phone company has no idea who I am. It was trivially easy to purchase an iphone, at the Apple store, with cash and then purchase a Verizon MVNO SIM from US Mobile (which I prefer over StraightTalk because they allow tethering).

You may be able to do this in the US for the time being. However, in many countries already – a list that is steadily increasing – you cannot purchase a SIM card without showing ID, a copy of which is made and forwarded to state authorities. In other countries – I know of at least Chile – you may have to register the IMEI of the phone as well.
This is completely unreasonable. There is no network for uploading and matching customer phone numbers across businesses. Who owns this company, in your mind? They must have tens of thousands of customers and be making billions in revenue to have the kind of scale and reach you're describing.

It generally takes years for a big company to completely ingest the data of a company that they acquire, and even then everything is siloed in 20 different ways. People only wish that company X buying company Y meant that the two merged all of their databases synergistically. The world definitely does not work this way
If you're underperforming, and have the gall to ask for a raise closer to someone that isn't, that could be indicative of issues grasping reality/fit into the team.

I don’t think it’s that simple. Sugar is much easier to farm en masse than fat is.

So switching to a sugar rich diet may have saved millions of people from starvation, but at the cost of the health of the individual.

So it is “better” for the aggregate, but worse for the individual.
That's fascinating. If DDG's whole shtick is not profiling, what accounts for the difference?

WRT the android/ios app question: Why do you want to implement a native app?
Seems like a significant investment if you're already meeting user needs with your PWA offering.
No no. I think we agree that there are capitalist-driven incentives that may be at odds with providing the best nutritional advice.

Where we differ (it seems?) is the implication that a diet rich in animal products (meat, cheese, eggs, etc) isn’t part of the Big Ag industry, but pasta, bread, cereal, etc. are. Livestock consume far more grain than the human population. So again, if big ag had any say (which, of course they do), they’d profit most by encouraging the consumption of meat, cheese, and eggs, not encouraging people to eat bread, pasta, and oatmeal. The fact that the USDA recommends eating whole grains at all is implicit proof that it’s not entirely corrupted by big ag.
So, looking at the NIH conclusion, if I'm on a *saratan and read this:

"Selective blockade of either Ang II synthesis or activity induced increases in cardiac ACE2 gene expression and cardiac ACE2 activity, whereas the combination of losartan and lisinopril was associated with elevated cardiac ACE2 activity"

should I check in with my cardiologist?

> I'm surprised at how often the "About Us" isn't actually "About Anyone", there's no names, it's all just "Us" and "We".

I tend to assume that a lot of times this is because "We" is a lie, it's "Me" and they want to avoid revealing that it's someone's side project.

I could be completely wrong. I am a lot.
There is plenty of work showing that physical endurance increases after extended periods on keto. Athletes have carefully tracked their performance numbers day by day and demonstrated real changes.

And as someone who participates in activities that require large amounts of endurance, I know on keto my ability to perform for extended periods of time is higher. These aren't "I think" numbers, they are "polar heart rate monitor strapped to my chest" numbers.

The very nature of keto leads to improved endurance, fat is a much more plentiful energy source than glucose, it may be less efficient (lifting heavy on keto is a well known problem), but it /never/ runs out. If someone is doing an activity that doesn't cause excessive lactic acid build up or complete muscle fatigue, then a keto will give an endurance advantage.
> Around 2006 or so Intel started pulling ahead and AMD never really caught up.

...never really caught up until a couple years ago when Epyc was launched. Then, with the speculative execution security issues that have cropped up, Intel has not only stopped gaining performance but has actively lost performance. AMD has a significant improvement now in price, performance, and definitely price/performance compared to Intel. The biggest thing keeping Intel afloat right now is inertia.

The curse of being an expert is that experts tend to be more aware of the limits of their knowledge than people of lesser experience. It takes experience to know what it is you don't really know. Thus the old observation that someone new to a field tends to be full of certainty and those who are experienced in the field tend to be full of doubt.

Could that be the source of your increasing lack of confidence? If so, then perhaps you should focus on what should be the source of confidence for you: your ability to effectively problem-solve.
I've tried YNAB and use Mint alongside Lunch Money and I'm super sold. I started using it when she first launched on HN and have been in love with it so far because it's super speedy and not as manual as YNAB. The way she handles recurring expenses is what made it for me. I set a task in my todo app to reconcile my transactions every day (usually only happens every week).
I would agree with this, and concede that my original comment was not as accurate as it could be representing historical events that have led us to this point.

I don't really understand the briefing here; so would taking exogenous ketones also help mirror the beneficial effects of ketosis seen in this study? They did mention feeding their participants exogenous ketones but didn't say anything about those peoples' carb/fat ratios.

I'm all for jumping on the high fat/low carb diet; however, I love getting all my polyphenols and other beneficial compounds that are part and parcel with eating plants (higher carb). As many benefits we see from being in ketosis, we also have tons of data on the health benefits of eating plants, so I've been confused as to how to get the best of both worlds here.
