Maybe he could find out if a less extreme version of your idea works for him. People are motivated by different things. I like Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies as a key to unlock what motivates you. Some people are motivated by being told what to do; Some are highly demotivated by that. If you frame your goal in a way that works with your Tendency, you'll have better success.

For example, if you are a Rebel, you might say to yourself "Normal people are fat conformists. I'll boldly defy the odds and be fit, instead."

I found that searching was more difficult nowadays. Result from Google is becoming worse, filling with content farm and ads. In some sense, that gave opportunity to become a better search engine without any technical improvement, but better marketing.

Well, do you want to drink an open can of beer?

You go into a bar, you order the IPA you liked someplace else, you see they've got a heap of cans... the bartender reaches under the bar and hands you... an open can.

No right? You don't want that one. Why the hell is it open?
Google gives me bad results. It ignores some of the words in my queries, and the context boxes are generally spammy and irrelevant. Even if the correct information is somewhere in the results page, I bounce before I can find it.

From what I can tell from the article, this might be because I type too much stuff into the search bar, and because Google’s manually curated semantic web stuff is not relevant to me.

However, I’m really not sure why I can’t use Google anymore. It was better when I switched away, so I definitely used to be able to use it (I didn’t log in back then either).

Ddg is fine, and more respectful to its users. I don’t have a practical reason to figure out what the problem is.

nDPI is used for traffic classification and metadata extraction as it's the currently most reliable state of the art deep packet inspection library. The "Light Python wrapper" is provided as part of nDPI (python repository under nDPI repo).

nfstream is a framework to compute/aggregate network data in an easy manner using Python. The main goal is to shorten the path from networking space to data science space when building for example ML based traffic classification or anomalies detection.

A lot of folks here are using the term "intermittent fasting". This is a term that can make people struggling with eating disorders kinda lose their minds.

May suggest to replace this term with what's probably a better way of saying it anyway, because it's more accurate to what people are really doing when they say IF: Call it "time-restricted eating". You're eating the food you eat for a day in a smaller window. Not really fasting.

It used to be that Google would handle unstructured queries better for me, but lately things I'm looking for are, without explanation, invisible, or demoted to the fifth or sixth page.

For me at least, the average search result quality from DuckDuckGo for me is better than Google.

I think there three main difficult scenarios remaining with DuckDuckGo:

1) If your query is very abstract, and you don't know what to call the thing you're talking about, DuckDuckGo will less often be able to figure out what you're talking about.

2) If your query is not in English, Chinese, or Russian (and probably a handful of other languages which they/their vendors support well), it may have a hard time making your query general enough to return results.

3) If you really care about local results, you may not be satisfied unless you provide location information in the query, and maybe not even then.
The problem here is, from what doctors seem to be saying, there's a massive amount of the population that has or has had COVID-19 and will never know - since the symptoms in an otherwise healthy adult are similar to the common Flu.

So that death rate is likely far, far lower than what it seems. The flu kills between 15-60k people in the US every year, and it's around 1% fatality rate (and nobody seems overly concerned about that).
And no price listed, if that is all you were interested in.

Personally, I dislike PP

- hard for remote teams. Only good if everyone on the team can easily pair up.

- only good if everyone follows a strict schedule

- only good if everyone understands the problem and solution space equally. If one of us needs to go into a cave for an hr to read documentation or experiment, it all falls apart.

- very mentally intense. You're always on. Can only keep it up for a few hrs without some massive mental drainage.

Overall I like PP for small problems to help teach someone. I dislike it for day-to-day.

The problem to me is that it is increasingly difficult to find software that is just useful, without disrespecting users constantly.

There are tons of issues in the App Store off the top of my head that I would rather Apple solve first (“making advertising easier” is #67422 on the list). And incidentally, their changes to search have made it incredibly hard to find apps I want, while adding...advertising!

Now, every day at least, when I open an app because I want to do something immediately, at least one will instead disrespect my time by popping up some modal first. “New features!” ”Promotional offer!” “Don’t you want to give us your E-mail first!?!?” Actually, no: I launched your app because I wanted to get something done, and your ad has made it slower.

Same with notifications, especially if you have secured your lock screen so that the subject of the notification is not immediately apparent. I want useful things, and I want everything else to go away. This seems like another step sideways or backwards from useful software.

This was a struggle for us, and we decided not to pursue it. Trying to get our company, which is not in the logistics field, set up to receive EDI updates is a pain. Getting all freight forwarders to add you as a notifying party, paying for an EDI service or setting up your own. Getting approved by shipping lines that don't recognize you as part of the supply chain.

Instead I've opted for taking all freight forwarder PDFs and parsing them (with some ML) to build our own dashboard of what material is coming in.

Okay :) I had expected to hear more about crop science which seems like it would be applied in coffee production with the climate challenges mentioned, but actually am not sure if it really is (even though I'm currently working on a project which has to do with it).
I'm willing to bet there is a study about the effects of letting people who are elected be involved in the process of re-drawing the districts they are elected from.
I do not use DDG for map queries. Google Maps is still light years ahead of anyone else for maps. For non-map queries, DDG is now well ahead of Google except for long tail stuff, for example: technical error messages.
At the top of this thread is a link to a clear explanation in a post by umvi. Very easy to understand.
It's not just US-centric. DDG is just a little bad about local queries in general. With Google, if I'm looking for a local business, or something in the news locally, there's a decent chance I can just search for it and I'll find what I'm looking for. With DDG I need to explicitly tell it the locale I'm interested in.

On top of that I live in a small city that shares a name with a larger city. Google understands this and gives me results for my local, smaller city, but DDG needs to be explicitly told city name, state name.

This is the part of what you said that I agree with. Personal devices such as phones are far too much under the control of their manufacturers and not the owners of the devices.

What makes this "better"?
...For certain values of "people", sometimes. I sure don't, it is imprecise, more failure prone and generally gives worse results.

This reminds me of telcos trying to get in to content. "Humans appear to value short audiovisual bursts of stimulation. We shall conquer all by providing all the memes!" And then they knife Tumblr.

It isn't that "people" "want" one search method over another. The search grammar is not why they're there.

An example of a difference: I live in Bristol. 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. The solution is to be more specific: "car mechanic bristol uk", for example, does the job.
> I have LAN TIM 2 on my facebook account and I have never bought anything from spreadshirt.

Lan Tim 2 is likely a contract manufacturer. Spreadshirt outsources the production of their t-shirts to Lan Tim 2. Likely, many companies do this as well. Lan Tim 2 probably does more than just t-shirts.

It's like with most craft beer sold in cans. The individual breweries cannot supply the demand for their product, so they have another company that specializes in mass production do it according to their recipe.

The contract manufacturer is likely the one giving data to FB, not the spreadshirt.
My story is the same!
Also, when I want colouring pictures for my kids, DDG just lets met tap them and print them. That is nolonger possible using Google since some months. I also very much appreciate the code snippets when (already started typing "Googling"!) Searching for code related things.

That would rely on the senders tagging the pushes correctly, as "ad" vs. "not-ad", which would ultimately fall back to App Store review enforcement anyways.
Here in Germany a little known tidbit is that the routine sampling system that is already in place to observe influenza has started to check for SARS-CoV-2 as well. It's only a sampling of people sick enough to visit a doctor (not whole population random sampling), but at least this sampling is not limited to people with a known infection path which would completely blindside you to community spread. I don't think that this has been running for long enough to already have meaningful results, but it will eventually put an end to flying blind. Given the value of discovering undiscovered clusters and getting better statistics I think that this is a much much better allocation of testing resources than checking the most likely candidates whom you'd want to quarantine anyways due to the likelihood of false negatives during incubation.

A very similar test allocation might also be running in America without anyone but a few experts taking notice. Here in Germany it has technically been on the news but it was completely drowned out by the pointless shouting match between "it cannot be worse than a cold" (because it would interfere with my precious vacation plans) and "our healthcare wouldbe just as overwhelmed as in Wuhan" (because, I don't know, maybe I'm just not racist enough to assume that it will somehow only be bad in China)

I figured as much, but I feel pretty strongly that every piece of state needs to be accessible to a user or to the server, otherwise you lose control of it and that can war on.

I know that for performance reasons, or for privacy reasons, or even for time/effort reasons, that's not always possible, but I'm also always genuinely hopeful that there's some new class of data out there that doesn't fall into that (general) rule.

Does anyone know if there is a way to emulate DDG's bangs using Firefox search engine keywords?

I tried forcing myself to use keywords but apparently they only work on the address bar (and not on the search bar) and also only if you type them at the start of the query. DDG bangs also work on any part of the query, including at the end.
Well sure, but we could say that exact thing about the common flu too.

If you're sick enough to go to the doctor and be diagnosed with the flu, there's likely an increased chance of it being fatal (in that your symptoms are extreme or you're already high-risk, ie. elderly or in poor health).

Otherwise, like most folks, you just get better on your own in a few days.

With the flu killing 10's of thousands every year, and nobody bats an eye... I'm not particularly concerned about COVID-19. It's mostly a media PR stunt at this point - designed to whip up fear and clicks. Swine Flu anyone?

I run marathons and prefer running in ketosis. In ketosis I will follow a long run with some protein for muscle recovery with fats just to maintain ratios rather than carbs to refill depleted glucose stores.

For lifting/HIIT training ketosis may not be ideal. I have done it and its fine, basically I swap whey for hemp protein powder and continue using creatine post workout.

I think for most people unless they are competing or trying to gain mass they would really like the results of ketosis and lifting. You will lean out (both fat loss and less water retention) and maintain muscle mass, don't be afraid of losing your gains. On the down side the adjustment period will probably be a little longer/harder than a relatively inactive person and initially you will likely notice a decline in energy in the gym, but it will be temporary (again your body is learning to use ketones as primary fuel source and that takes time). That said once you adjust you won't find any trouble lifting heavy or running sprints, in fact you will probably be able to go longer. One benefit you really notice is lack of inflammation and soreness following workouts, in my experience the body recovers faster, though this is still about the actual food you consume (healthy omega 3s and green leafy vegetables) and not some automatic benefit of ketosis.

They are under because of a lot of shady practices like knowingly giving out bad loans, corruption and self dealing that enriched it's founder. He had been ordered by the regulator to step down 2 years ago, but that didn't prove to be enough to save the bank.

For example the founder and ex CEO was involved in a scheme where Yes Bank disbursed bad loans to a prominent business (Indiabulls) family, in exchange for which the family's business lent huge sums to Yes Bank's CEO and his children.

Beyond this Yes Bank loaned out several billions of dollars to companies that other banks were unwilling to lend. Most of that money never came back.
