It literally just Googles the number and lets you figure it out by scrolling through the results. This technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Right, then the question is, what's Qwant's business model. Where do they get the money from to send to Mozilla? I'm just always so suspicious that the users are the ones getting burned

I've used it every day for years and I haven't noticed a difference

Why not use DDG?

Wtf is Qwant?

Edit: oh, OK, it's a search engine. Next questions, what is the nature of the "partnership" and how is this better or different than DDG?

You don't have to be a farmer to have chickens. Get chickens

The distinction here is not "suburb and non-suburb", it's "car-dependent suburb and non-car-dependent suburb" the large large majority are the former.

Take the percentage increase of those disasters caused by climate change

This is the problem. What's the increase? What's the baseline? The 1800's? Just because a storm is more powerful, does that necessarily mean it does more damage? Maybe so but maybe not. Maybe a stronger storm misses land altogether. Is the increase in damage proportional to the increase in power or does it go up by the square or cube?

It's impossible to calculate.

How is this enforceable? What marginal increase in a hurricane's destructivness is attributable to climate change versus how destructive it'd be otherwise. And how much did that cost in damage? It's impossible to figure out

That's exactly how I like my anal beads

This is one of those things where the answer is "it depends". Like what counts as traffic safety research and what doesn't. I'm sure depending on how you choose the end result is wildly different.

That's exactly the lesson he learned yesterday. If you bitch and moan and threaten to not pay they money, it'll get reduced. Why not do it again?

Be carful! There's an abbreviated version and an extended version!

Well, for the eclipse. For every other occasion you want the latter one.

Poor guy

I use pocket casts and I tried switching to antenna pod because of a thread like this one and came right back to pocket casts. The deal breaker for me was no skip forward 30 seconds (e.g. ads) from the lock screen.

Total bullshit

Apple says that it determined an Apple Watch with Android support wasn’t doable because of technical limitations. As such, it scrapped the idea.

What technical limitations? Smart watches that work with Android exist.

Floridians don't even have the freedom to sleep where they want. What kind of big government shit it this?

Why did you have to wait for your phone to ask you?

Sounds more like Stockholm Syndrome
