It is the best on the market but unfortunately they just use Google underneath plus their own blog index. And at least to me it seems it isn’t going in a better direction.

The US sounds extremely expensive. In the EU 1500$ a month will pay for a very nice apartment close to work.

I feel like the quality of her videos is way down but I am ND and found that video pretty neutral.

I skimmed a transcript just now because I wanted to understand why people are so disproportionately mad about it. She mentions Autism Speaks and does not immediately condemn it. Is that it? I wouldn’t say that counts as being wrong on everything.

I’m tired of (especially internet) discourse where shouting which camp you belong to is most important. One good example is when people accused Amnesty of siding with Russia because they reported on Ukrainian warcrimes. Nothing is truly neutral but I much prefer information or thought experiments over the virtue signaling that has taken over the internet.

You will not convince people to change their mind by shouting in their faces that your point of view is correct. Granted, you usually wont change people’s mind online anyway, except entrenching them deeper into their existing beliefs. I don’t think that is a good thing regardless of the side they take. It leads to seeing fellow humans as monsters just because they are wrong about something.

Indeed. You pay them for their work, not for what they do with their life.

it is better than the competition but it will never be like Google before 2019 because they’ll never build their own index.

The car/bus comparison is useful, the others aren’t because they travel at different speeds.

Probably walking can still move more people than cars. If walking is 5 kph and driving is 50, people need to take 10x less space to break even. They probably do, as cars need to keep distance.

You don’t need to cite, you need to provide source code. The point of GPL is to allow the user to inspect and modify the software. You can even sell it as long as you provide the modified source code under the same license.
