We are in big trouble. I'll be blunt that even the best conceivable case is very bad.

As you say, we've had both "regimes", but never for very long, especially given that it takes an overwhelming effort to accomplish anything legislatively. A party in favor of the status quo can stop all change if it runs either house of the legislative or the executive branch -- and it needs only a 41 vote minority in the Senate.

The only way for change to happen is to vote for it over and over, consistently. The party that comes closer to your view on the environment has won two elections in a row exactly once in my lifetime. Even after they get into power they have to actually govern a large, fractious country, including genuine differences of opinion within themselves.

So you can make a perfectly consistent case for giving the fuck up as impossible. Even if your party wins in November, I can practically guarantee that they'll lose two years from now. I stresssed voting in the gp post because you need to do it every goddamned time if you want anything to change. I do think it is the only thing we can do, and yeah, we're in big trouble.
Yes I think it makes sense to consider the caller query to record the call as a tacit authorization for you to record it as well. (At least in my country it's interpreted that way)
I'm not a native speaker; does gay unequivocally relates to romantic preference? Or can it also simply mean "joyful"?

I think you didn't understand me. I do understand that Joe Average wants to use general-purpose computing to accomplish things. My point is that Joe Average does not understand the hidden costs of using computers that are spying on him, costs that might make him want to find some other way of accomplishing his tasks.

Thanks for the article, was useful to know. I never thought it could be so easy to do.

Good question. Knowing the "why" of things is important. My answers:

1. Focus - Opening a browser and clicking around takes more patience. It tempts me to go update my company's internal documentation about something irrelevant to my current task.

A CLI lets you pipe things to grep which lets you focus on specific information you care about.

2. Memory - I can write aliases to help me remember my common workflows.

3. Automation - I can have a script check PRs for me. This reduces context switching and enables greater focus and productivity.
I do the same, sometimes with more than 2 devices depending on the importance of the alarm.

Every time I read about an alarm bug, it makes me think about the iPhone New Year's Day alarm bug that caused a couple to miss their fertility treatments[1]. That story made me so sad, because anyone who has been through that process knows how important timing is, and how expensive the entire process is.

True but I remember reading books, or collections of articles, on construction as a kid in the 70's and 80's with imprints like Mother Earth News and (iirc) Foxfire and more mainstream ones by Readers Digest, Time-Life, and Sunset. They covered things like this. It wasn't entirely out of reach if you went to a library.
The main gripe here is, I think, that many people trade away privacy and flexibility without even understanding what they're doing.

Most people who read HN don't do that, even if they choose platforms that tilt towards those sorts of services and software.

For instance, I'm pretty firmly in the Apple ecosystem, but I could migrate to something else pretty easily IF I wanted to (I don't). I'm not locked in here. My data is stored locally (though I use Dropbox to make it available across multiple devices and platforms). I use proprietary formats very very sparingly. I feel pretty comfortable the "cage door" can't close on me without me changing these choices pretty drastically.

I'm sure there are Android/Windows people here who do the same thing. Sure, Windows does some invasive things, but if you're careful, you can avoid most of it, and preserve your ability to switch to something else without much difficulty. No cage door there, either.

The trick is to avoid getting SO enmeshed with a vendor that you cannot easily leave. This is one reason why companies like AT&T want you to bundle cell service and home Internet and cable and telephone, because it makes it harder to "fire" them when they screw up.

This "trick" is pretty easy, again, for the sort of person who reads this site. It's a lot harder for your uncle Larry who just wants to read ESPN and balance his checkbook and cares not one whit about the privacy implications of Google docs or whatever.

What about https://hub.github.com/ ?
I've been using DDG as my main driver for over 2 years now. Contrary to the vast majority of commenters here, I almost never use !g.

90% of of the time, if my first search didn't produce a useful result on DDG, I end up !stackoverflow or !stackexchange.

The other ~10% of the time I do use !g, it's almost always if I'm looking for something very specific, e.g. that one article on markov-chains from HN years ago.

Frankly I don't understand how someone can go back to googling after using the DDG interface for so long. There are so may ads on Google now it takes forever to get to the relevant results.
I want to stop for a second and appreciate how much I like websites like the one on the OP: no javascript; no ads; non-commercial, honest content; light, straightforward design. All in all, just a no-strings-attached personal site. That's what the Web should be all about.

I miss the late 90s' and early 00s' world wide web. Any search would direct you to a bunch of personal sites just like this one; now, you'd be lucky to find something similar among the typical pile of irrelevant commercial sites bordering on being straight scams that any search engine throws at you.

Better scripting / automation maybe? I don't have any specific example in mind right now, but being able to pipe things together with other utilities could make for interesting applications, and is easier than having to interact with a REST API.
Even if DDG starts invading privacy it will still be better than google. Google has access a lot of my data already.

It is better multiple companies have parts of my data than one company that knows where I am , who I meet , what I search , use , and even say in my house
Does anyone know how the outer shell of underground missile silo bunkers is constructed? Those go very far underground and presumably would be impermeable.
I wish we could just all reject SOC2, it's such a grift. Bankers come in to read some docs (that they don't understand), look at screenshots (that they don't understand), take up 100s of thousands in cash and time, and then write a document (that they don't understand) that no one will read or care about (except to fuel their own SOC2).

The harm is so significant. Tons of these due diligence terms are driven not by any security engineer, but by a legal or compliance team - I've even had members of the security team outright apologize for having to send it over.
When you type "elm list" into Google and it understands that you mean the language instead of the tree, it's because they have an extensive profile on you. Of course DuckDuckGo won't do that since that's their unique selling point.

I can see this being a legitimate gripe of an end user that just compares search engines, but I was under the impression that this crowd understands the proposition of DDG and doesn't complain when it's working as designed.

I have an underground house in the UK. Much of the same issues apply. I too have stalactites coming down from my ceiling!

The main issue is damp coming through all the damp membranes from the floor, the ceiling, and the walls.

If I wanted to solve it, I would knock all the internals of the house out, and then build a new house inside the current one. The outer house to keep the soil out, and the inner house for waterproofing. I'd have pumped air circulating between the houses to evaporate any water that manages it through the outer house.
Where in the world were these places? Our basement is just fine. But we are in Michigan where houses pretty much must have a basement due to frost. I wonder if the builders in areas like this have more experience with them.

Not sure if someone covered this already, but figured I would give my two cents since I worked in the industry. Usually the hardest part of electrical work is taking a circuit off-line long enough to fix an issue like this. The toughest projects were upgrading lines where customers are fed radially (one circuit). In more densely populated areas customers are fed by two or more lines, allowing the utility to schedule an outage and do repairs or upgrades. Utilities are judged on metrics that track outage time (I believe its called SAIDI), and they will do everything they can to use those lines until the end.

Anytime a utility decides to upgrade their system they have to think about a couple things. First they need money and that requires them to secure funding from their regulatory body, which will determine if they can raise the cost of electricity for the customers. Next they have to put proposals for work out for contractors. Normally utilities are not staffed to handle major projects so they might hire a 3rd party firm to manage the work. The utility must schedule outages, which requires planners to balance the needs for maintenance with the need for long-term upgrades. If they are going to replace lines, they might as well upgrade to a higher voltage, which may require the replacement of equipment in substations, which can take years depending on the size of the sub. Time of year must be taken into consideration because electrical usage in the summer is higher, and taking one circuit out add load to other circuits and could cause failures.

You might work through all these scenarios and find yourself at the mercy of nature due to endangered animals. Birds will nest on powerlines, and prevent any maintenance to go on for months. Even if you want to do hot-work via helicopter, you are prevented from encroaching the bird by a buffer to prevent disturbing the bird. I don't know how big PG&E's system is, or how much they are willing to spend/are spending now on maintenance but this is an industry-wide problem that some utilities are handling better than others. Maybe wireless electrical transmission will solve this?

Since one can add to and subtract from a pointer, it is only natural to be able to compare them. And the standard clearly states pointers can be compared, although it requires the two pointers to point to the same array (or last element+1) or to the same structure.

If USC can punish Greg Patton, free speech on campus is dead
I'm not in that camp, I think it's fine for more mundane queries and kinda bad for more obscure ones. That said I can try dig some out of my search history anyway:

"fiction perspectives" brings up an article titled "Fiction: Jewish perspectives on Niue" in DDG. In Google it brings up an info box titled "Here are the four primary POV types in fiction".

"US military clacker" (searching for the name of that thing the player often squeezes in first person shooter games to set off explosives) brings up "U.S. WWII D-Day Signaling Cricket Clicker Clacker" in Amazon.com in DDG. In Google it brings up the Wikipedia page for the Claymore mine and chooses to show the sentence "The M57 firing device (colloquially referred to as the "clacker") is included with each mine".

"lua_pcall example" brings up a thread titled "PCall function?" on the Roblox Developer Forum in DDG. In Google it brings up the page "Calling Lua Functions" from the official Lua manual.

Many of these are still usable. There are some articles about perspective in fiction writing further down but none that address the topic quite so directly. The clacker search on DDG has pictures of clackers (which Google does not) which you could click on and investigate to work out the name of it. The Lua DDG search has the right page as the third result. But those little imperfections do add friction and make me reach for the g! flag for those trickier queries.

Traditional house builders should have no problem building an underground house. It's not much different than building a basement, whoever built their house just did a shoddy job. If those builders made a traditional house with a basement with these same issues, you wouldn't come to the conclusion that traditional houses are bad or difficult to do.
Maybe you should try America's Got Talent show since you like ! She bangs all the time. You might end up like the poor Chinese guy or whatever nationality he is, and become famous. Google use to be good back in the day when what you typed, returned what you typed. Now its sad that you can take 2 different computers or phones on the same network and search the same topic and the end result is 2 totally different outcomes from what you searched. That's the current google. You should never have to use special characters to do a deep search for something of topic. I want something that returns the exact words I type to find specific information that's in context of what I search for. Not she bangs all the time.

Isn't it why they claim that the calls are "randomly" recorded, so that their lawyers would review the call and claim that the specific call you request was not recorded if it is deemed potentially damaging?

Sometimes people will say "I'm having a gay ol' time" to mean "I'm having a good time" with a bit of a subversive tint to it, since they know that everyone knows that gay to mean happy is completely outdated. The vast majority of the time it means homosexual, even for women.

> Waterproofing has to go on the outside surface to work.

He was fixing cracks, which is effectively waterproofing, and it did work, locally, as he mentioned the water was "rerouted".

It works like this:

- Injection ports are adhered and spaced along the crack.

- Epoxy is smeared along the crack from the inside, providing a temporary seal for the next step.

- Epoxy or polyurethane is injected into the ports, starting from the bottom and progressing upwards as material seeps out of the ports above

This works, but this guy just didn't take it far enough, probably for good reason.

If they are being censored it is clearly not working because the story is all over the news.

It is possible they are being censored in some places because they look exactly like an influence operation, and COVID-19 misinformation is a huge problem for online platforms right now.

Not just that, but I get super annoyed that I exclusively listen to YouTube music on my desktop, and exclusively watch shows etc on my Apple TV. And for some reason YouTube cannot figure out that no, I don’t want to watch these music videos on my Apple TV, and no I don’t want to watch this documentary on my desktop.

And yeah even within music videos, the recommendations seem really basic. Compared to Spotify, Google is looking like real amateurs when it comes to recommendations.
Do you not see how this is a self-defeating attitude? Do you recall when I suggested that you would be a great fit for leading an organization devoted to improving accessibility in free software?

I really wish you would step up and embrace the ideals you espouse, because I think that you could make an amazing impact if you applied yourself to it.
How you could create issue with git? Project on github is much more that just git repo
I totally agree. It's an overkill for most projects to fully separate the backend form the frontend. Django gives you everything you might need to build a fully capable app.

Putting Randomized Compiler Testing into Production [pdf]
As someone who used to do a decent amount of web and search engine results scraping in a past life, one thing I’ve never understood about DDG is how on earth this setup is economical. If they’re hitting (presumably) bing’s api a few billion times a month, surely they’re paying a lot of cash to do that, even at a heavily negotiated rate.

Also, so many folks here are saying they use the bang option to search Google, through DDG. So either they’re using google’s search api or scraping on the background, both of which are expensive in their own ways.

Beyond technical, at a business level, how are they actually pulling this off?

> This is challenging when the majority of products are headed in one direction, driven by market demand that companies can influence by advertising.

Exactly. The author says it's large corporations that are driving us there, and yet seems to be naive enough to believe that the very market forces that made those large corporations large and drove technology in this direction can be changed by an extremely insignificant minority. The vast majority of people want tech that's cheap and does what they want, as evidenced by Xiaomi being the biggest smartphone company in India. The only way to turn that around is to have a power equally as big as the companies - i.e. Government.
