  • Being able to black list, downplay or uplift specific sources is awesome

    I've never heard of Kagi, but yeah, those features sound like a godsend. I'd love it if you could have that on a search engine that isn't pay to use.

  • As much as I've come to loathe Google, I think even that is a bit unfair to them. Search engine optimization is a result of the existence of search engines, because being at the top of the results is always worth good money.

    Back before Google was the top dog, there were numerous search engines, and I'm pretty sure people shared tips on how to get further up on the results even then, they just didn't use the term SEO yet.

    Google became the dominant search engine because it gave better results than anyone else, because it wasn't so easy to manipulate your ranking on the results. But there were always sites that wanted to be on top even when they shouldn't be. Google stayed ahead of their game for some decades, but now it looks like they can't or won't keep it up anymore.

  • You guys have to be memeing. I can sort of see the 4, although it's pretty subtle. But there's no way that's a 7. It clearly curves at the top, like a 2.

    Edit: Ok, nevermind. I just loaded up the image in an image editor and shifted the hue a bit. I can see the 74 then. I knew from previous color vision tests that I had somewhat less than average color vision, but I didn't think it would be this striking.

    Edit 2: Oh, and here's the edited image, for others who might have trouble seeing it (I hope you won't have trouble with this image, too):

  • Shaun made an excellent video on the topic, although you're going to have to invest a lot of time into watching it. It's got a good selection of sources, too, for those of you who love to hold on to the common narrative that dropping the bomb was necessary.

  • Hm yeah, competing with such loss leader printers would be difficult. But how come I've never heard of anyone making things such as bootleg printer ink? Or does the police barge into the doors of anyone who tries?

  • Well, I did say needlessly hostile. I definitely didn't mean that you should treat actually vile people with velvet gloves.

    I'm talking more about the overall culture on Reddit where you'd have someone making some innocuous mistake and getting torn into it for it.

    Although, yeah, that does also extend to general disagreements that tend to take on raised hairs where it really isn't warranted. Like, just of the top of my head, what happens whenever someone discusses the viability of nuclear power.
