When that happens, I usually just do a manual update on my filters. More often than not, someone has already updated it.
Worth pointing out then that DDG has a number of shortcuts built-in. If you don't care about passing a query through them, it already works. https://duckduckgo.com/bang The most-used is probably !g, which sends your…
Even programming questions. If it's something considered popular, you get awful results. Take javascript, I always append "mdn" when I'm trying to look up a language/api detail. Otherwise I'd be sifting through the top…
Large governments have access to Windows source code. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/securityengineering/gsp It's more about long-term strategy. China wants full control over their OS. They want features Microsoft…
Correct. The US only had net neutrality on the books for traditional ISPs. However, they were playing relatively nicely to avoid such regulation happening. The mobile arena was fought over data caps and exemptions…
Data exemptions are absolutely an example of a net neutrality violation. Similar things, like exempting partnered streaming music services from mobile data plans, have been shot down in Canada.
The fix was to block the botnets that were scanning millions of numbers and ban the associated accounts. Likely that includes some ongoing threat detection as well. That'll at least prevent scammers from collecting one…
Hiding counts makes it hard to identify imposter accounts and bots. Users need to be able to see account age and counts at a minimum.
No, it wouldn't work. It only works if people can discover you with the "find people you know from your address book" feature. A deleted number won't match. Or you can just turn it off in your discoverability settings.
So people don't generate thousands of accounts then sit on them until they want to spam with legit-looking seven year old accounts.
It's for anti-spam. Preventing people from generating millions of free accounts is valuable.
You can check it all you want. That won't change the physics of its dynamically unstable design.
Exactly. Using Mars as a second example is basically just doubling down on the "Elon isn't trustworthy" argument. That should be a giant red flag to readers.
Have you considered just creating multiple windows/mac accounts? Since you can switch without having to log off, it's really convenient. I understand partners sharing accounts and such but it's really just a better…
I use Temporary Containers (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...) to do this. You can customize how you want links handled when they target different domains. It takes some getting used to as…
Are you sure about that? I don't have Lyft where I live. But, about a year back, I was given a Lyft code for an interview. When I got the code, the instructions made it clear that I needed to register a credit card for…
Tools like this should be built into your IDE. No developer ever wants automated feedback at the end of the process in a code review. There are lots of academic ML review/suggestion tools. Those people come to the table…
It'll probably generate irrelevant stats on the engineers to send directly to their managers to use against them in their next review.

Current-gen devices provide an advertising id. It's unique to the device but can be reset to a new random value by the owner in the OS settings.
You can't include Baidu in the list and say Google has 90% market share. Saying Baidu has 1-3% without specifying "in the USA" is misleading. They've got a billion users in China.
I try to use DDG as my default but it's so awful at knowledge-graph questions. I find myself using !g for knowledge queries before even attempting it. An example would be something like "Rick and Morty episodes." I know…
Chrome is linked to your google accounts and saves your account auth tokens. When you use incognito, it doesn't immediately send that info. However, it does offer to sign you in. This is different from remembering…
