I've heard a lot of about duckduckgo on here and on reddit. Are there actual compelling reasons to use this service over google? Is the only reason their privacy policy?

I saw a commenter on the linked site state that duckduckgo is great for programming, what does this mean?
There's a difference between, "didn't bend over backwards to retain a difficult customer," and "took to personally bashing the customer in public and willy-nilly terminating services due to public criticism."

Did the original Wolfenstein also feature the Horst Wessel Lied?

BTW, Castle Wolfenstein's scenery is based on Wewelsburg [1] which housed a SS 'school' before WW2.

The game is actually two dimensional in the sense that videos are considered three dimensional. The independent variables involved are the 1-D line and time.

(Sorry just got up from studying signal processing, couldn't help but point that out).
Even just listening to the audio was great.
Sewage is different, because it has a high concentration of WC water (urine), which in turn contains high level of hormone supplements (contraception). Some of the problem is, that these drugs can eventually find their way to fresh water.

The standard scientific (chemical) process is the mechanical separation and dilution mentioned, but there is no evidence that there is a safe level of hormone that can be absorbed daily. Not unlike DDT: actually hormones were cited as evidence during the fight for the ban. However, there is scientific evidence of sexual mutation in creatures living in water (frogs, fish etc. -- though many other things could be blamed for this, but none rule out the above)
From my perspective it's incredibly rare for a search engine to rival Google in a. the quality of the results and b. it's features.

DuckDuckGo generally has very good results and it's features (Privacy, Bang, etc.) and the like are good.
Waiting for Wolfenstein 4d.
its more common in the middle class. Actually most of th people having the phone over here are young people (think 20 somethings) irrespective of the financial bracket of their parents
The best reason for me is the quality. Between the disambiguation feature and the lack of spam and crappy sites, DDG is really good at finding what you want it to.
To be fair, if it were first-person, it would be 1d. You'd just have the one pixel of what was in front of you.

Shouldn't you be able to "delete" them by clearing your browser cache?
That already exists. It's called a corporate purchasing card. I used to sell new Fortune 500 accounts when I worked at American Express, so I'm quite familiar with them.

You can set myriad fine-grained controls like "only permit Office Depot purchases of paper reams, Monday thru Friday, in zip code 94304, $40 maximum per use." Stuff like that.

The account administrator gets a granular data feed with all the purchases pre-categorized, and reconciliation and reporting software.

The trouble competitors have is gathering the data at the point of sale. American Express blows away the competition on data, primarily because of card readers. Many American Express merchants have a separate card reader which can be programmed to force the merchant to filter transactions based on the controls set on the cardholder's account. Many companies won't buy from suppliers who aren't fully set up for American Express purchasing cards, which is why so many suppliers go through the trouble of uploading their product database and paying the high transaction fees.
Inspired by candyjapan - Subscribe to receive Indian handicrafts by mail
HN, I love travelling & collecting Indian arts and crafts items from across rural India.

I thought it would be a good fit to turn this into a business after I saw the candyjapan experiment and realised there would a lot of demand for Indian arts & crafts around the world.

So I made this website http://indianartfor.me/

Please let me know what you guys think
Great work DDG and yegg! I love DDG and have been using it for well over a year. The quality is just so good that anytime I get on computer set to search Google by default, I only get through a few searches before I'm compelled to head over to DDG.
I can see from your comment that you honestly don't understand why DDG is the #1 post on HN right now, so I'll answer it honestly.

You don't say which company you work for in this comment.

You don't use your real name in your HN profile.

You're not giving us a way to connect and root for you.

If you were more open. If you openly talked about your company and taught us what you learned, you'd give us a way to feel connected to you and your company. Then we'd probably all root for you too.

Give us a chance to get to know you and relate to you.

I once worked in a bank doing tech support and occasionally fixed a few things in the sealed-off internal finance room. The place was littered with red final notices - including utility, phones, everything. As a bank they could easily put to use any extra cash they had, so the official policy was to pay everything late. No doubt everyone knew they would pay eventually, but when you're big you don't have to.
From the FAQ:

Do some programming related searches on DDG and you'll see the difference. Google gives me a list of links, DDG gave me a function definition and description from a language manual... on the result page.

Ask HN: Photo sharing idea I had awhile back ...
My friend asked me recently: "Can I get global coordinates printed on the picture I take with my phone." I said "I dunno ... but I could quickly build an app for you."

Now the idea borne out of that convo was to create something like a global repository -- graph of pictures, connected together by coordinates of where they were taken.

One cool use I thought was to see/explore photos of areas I would like to visit (like fiji or amsterdam for e.g.).

I am interested in ...
* whether anyone thinks this is a good idea, useful and fun?
* other cool uses for this
* or, if it already exists in some form -- I assume there are photo sharing apps with these capabilities but in the extrapolated form I presented?
Motorola has 19,000 employees and can't consistently turn a profit. These two facts seem related in an obvious way, and this implies a way to turn a profit on it.

Cherry pick all the best research and software folks and bring them into Google, abandon MotoBlur and release devices with vanilla Android (thus eliminating the need for said software folks), and streamline operations with massive reductions in headcount. Possibly shutter unprofitable product lines like feature phones entirely, and focus the company on things Google considers strategic for them, i.e. Android phones and set top boxes.

Admittedly, Blodget is right that Google has no experience in performing this kind of maneuver, so there are a lot of risks, but considering that they bought a patent portfolio that happened to come with a company attached, there's no real reason to be afraid of downsizing the company to a point where Motorola can turn a decent profit and start growing again.

Or, as Blodget points out, they could just spin the company off as soon as they can and wash their hands of the whole thing.
Agree on you about the battery life, but I'm not sure about apps since I have never used an Iphone but ios is more mature so it had some head start so I guess its apps are also a bit ahead.

The cheapest Iphone here in kenya is about 450 USdollars compare that with the ideos at 80 dollars. With such a gap battery life ceases been an important issue for most kenyans.

What does the for(;;); at the front of AJAX response do?
In some domains. Whenever I give it a go, as soon as I turn to work it fails me (work is math for me).

What do you mean by this? I've always been able to send and receive texts through Google Voice in Canada, I can also call (only have it set up to call my gmail) using the web interface. What I've never managed to do is activate the app on my android phone to allow my send/receive texts there even if I couldn't do calls without a US phone number.
I'm much better at this advanced 1D version. :D
How many of you are using it as your default search engine? I am. I don't think it's as good as Google, but I think it's good enough, some things are useful, like the quick links, and at least the user interface is cleaner, there is no stupid auto-complete etc.

Most of the points seem to be "Google doesn't know hardware". This is a valid point, but the article mostly reads like this one point repeated over and over.

First, it discounts the fact that Google isn't inheriting a shell company; those former Motorola employees? They're still there.

Second, so what if they don't already have a dedicated hardware factory already? They've got a dedicated team, one that's proven. Danger, Inc.

Motorola Reveals Motorola DEFY+
Disagree. The companies' cultures are more similar than they might otherwise appear; Motirola has a strong engineering heritage and a good hardware pedigree but their software UI has been badly lacking. Not that the merger will be easy, but a colossal disaster? I think not.
Do we really need a third thread about this?
I love DDG but it seems to load more slowly then google (obviously, google takes 20 ms, DDG can take up to 5 seconds).

Yeah, it's a development server. I've got a cheap VPS (€4/mo with 512MB of memory) and I usually run the code I'm developing there.

My reasons: I don't have to pollute my laptop with various (sometimes mutually exclusive) servers - virtualenv &co are great, but can only go so far, and VMs are much harder on the battery; trivial for other people (colleagues, clients) to see WIP, even if my laptop is suspended.
Interesting take on the concept.

I'm not too sure about the target market (or in this case, the product offering). I really don't see very many people wanting an "artifact" like a vase or bowl showing up in their mail every month. With candyjapan, you get interesting new candy to eat and taste and there is a novelty to it. Arts and crafts however is a lot less functional, and I can't see anyone really wanting something like that.

However, I think maybe you could find a niche in Indian fashion items. Shoes, jewelry, shoals, interesting little pieces that people can share and show off. Maybe that would be more interesting to the consumer?
I've been using it as my default search engine for a couple of months now, and it's been great. The only thing I find myself missing from Google is image search.

What really makes DuckDuckGo so great is the bang syntax. Searching for '!foo bar' will automatically redirect you to another search engine for your search (e.g. '!cpan mechanize'). Here are a few I use frequently:
!google - Google
!images - Google Images
!cpan - Perl CPAN
!perldoc - The Perldocs

Duck Duck Go makes it so easy to search everything.
Beautiful A/B testing and web analytics
There is hardly any knowledge of human physiology behind most of the answers, just like the question was "what exercises do you like" and not "exercises for someone sitting by the PC all day". Sitting at a desk for 8+ hours tends to cause various posture problems through shortening and chronic contraction of some muscle groups (e.g. hip flexors) and weakening of others (e. g. glutes). Especially cycling strikes me as a bizarre recommendation, I would say 2 hours of cycling has the same effect on posture as 8 additional hours of sitting at the desk. The recommendation to do bench presses is a great way to further round ones already rounded (from all the sitting at the keyboard) shoulders. Swimming is great, but not everyone has warm weather all year long or likes swimming pools. For someone looking for gym exercises for people with desk-bound jobs I would recommend this more:

I deal with customer support on a daily basis. In my opinion it wasn't just the blog post that was bad. By then it was way too late.

The account auto-suspension may have been a bit harsh. But what they never should have done was explain it in public. The rest is just downhill from there.

Personally, I'd have responded to the friend's tweet with nothing more than, "Account questions should be directed to [email/url] where we can better assist." That way you take that stuff offline as soon as possible before it has a chance to foment into something nasty. And if it's really something private, there's nothing more you can say.

That aside, the tone in that blog post is all wrong. In paragraph one, "our side of the fence" draws lines and creates an adversarial tone right from the start. It's clear throughout that the author is taking this personally.

Paragraph two is mostly fine, but ends on a self-righteous semi-parenthetical, "We don't, for the record." As if they're going out of their way to be better than everyone else.

From paragraph three, the airing of dirty laundry begins. Beyond this, deleting 80–90% of the post would likely add to its value.

In paragraph five there's even some kind of victim mentality going on. They're being "baited" on Twitter, and "[attacked] for reasons unknown." The analysis is starting to get tedious.

All throughout, the message being communicated is: We did nothing wrong. It's defensive, and what facts are present play a secondary role to the message. Better to be proactive about the facts, leave out anything that hints of defensiveness, and just take your lumps.

Any time you're saying "what I intended," you've already lost.

But, again, a better blog post would not have needed to be written in the first place.
Why do you think the search engine market is so hard to penetrate?

"Any exercise" gets my vote. It seems to me that a lot of people - myself included - get wrapped up in the body hack mentality (4-Hour Body?) or in finding the "best" exercises, when the important thing is just to get moving and make it fun.
I did for a while and loved the bang searches like everyone else, but I missed the speed of Google searches -- so I eventually went back.

Yes, it's a relatively silly quibble, but that second or two more of loading feels pretty significant.
2) I don't understand. Just the threat of Google launching that missile at Apple and friends has to severely curtail patent litigation. If Apple knows that Google will soon have the ability to deliver a haymaker of their own, they are MUCH more likely to negotiate a cease-fire.
!google and !images also exist as !g and !i. Additionally, if you're concerned with privacy (as I assume you are, if you use DDG), then I can recommend !scroogle (or !s).
This article doesn't do anything other than describe how the current incarnation of the US patent system is an incumbent-protection racket and (weakly) attempt to justify that.
Handicrafts include a range of items including fashion "stuff".

I am not yet sure what will work and I intend to ask/look for a lot of feedback on that. I kept jewelry out of it because I wasn't sure what sex the users belong to and didn't want to make the registration process complex by asking for those details.

Right now, my focus is on unisex items. But I do agree that fashion might be a good niche to focus on. Thanks a ton for the feedback :-)
If a serves offers stuff for free, or against ridiculously low prices, the rule "if you're not paying for it, you're not the customer, you are the product" usually applies.

These aren't customers with an "odd mindset", these are people that believe that they are an essential part of your product, usually in the form of advertiser fodder, and therefor you owe them. The assumption that you somehow profit from offering something for free is not a strange one, hence there is nothing pathological about these people demanding service and respect in the same way paying customers do.

However, paying customers know more or less exactly what to expect, because they can relate it to the amount of $$$ they pay. Customers of "free" services have no idea how much they are worth, so they tend to "negotiate" by aiming high. Yes, this is unpleasant, but it's very naive to be surprised about it, and a little disingenuous to be offended by it.
> You're obviously getting downvoted, so I probably will too

Why the groupthink?
It wouldn't surprise me at all to see them spin Motorola right back out into a separate entity. It would actually make a lot of sense. Google gets their patents and a very cooperative manufacturer, without the worry of managing Motorola day-to-day.

That $12B will be quickly absorbed.
> They're great with what they encountered and had to try, but usually suck at even knowing of the existence of what lies just beyond the edge.

That is one area where the internet could use improvement.

Google can teach you anything... if you know what you're looking for; but there doesn't seem to be a good system for exploration beyond that. If you follow the right discussion/link services and keep a general watchful eye out, the stuff out beyond the edge will eventually flow to you, but there is certainly room for improvement.

I believe it is a solvable problem and the company that gets it right will have amazing growth potential.
When you do, totally check out MPESA and how widespread it is. Mobile payment traction that a US startup would die for.
