I suspect they'll get it perfect because it's in their best interest to do so. The purpose imo is obviously 1) more opportunity to present ad links into the user's query as the scroll continues, and 2) take advantage of the fact that infinite scrolling is a highly addictive pattern in general.
Was there a large difference in insurance premiums between the Toyota hybrid and a Tesla in your area?
Agreed, no reason to get amped up about this Voltage nonsense. Folks just need to resist.
True. The ZX80 was what got me soldering and tinkering on the software side since it was cheap. In a way it's what the Raspberry Pi should be to the younger generation today that only know scrolling Nicki Minaj tweets on an opaque magical piece of hardware. Devices that provide opportunity for curiosity by looking at what's really under the hood.
The boss wasn't happy the first five times I clicked on those brony.exe emails, this cowboy is too smart to get tricked for a sixth time.
Right? The other day my mom was telling me about how vaseline worked better than ointment, and I started getting ads...
Oh, never mind.
Mainframe enlightenment would be out of range for most, but guessing that the homelabbing trend is exposing a decent amount of PC-only folks to the world of server hardware. Similar in spec to what you got, I caught the bug a few years ago with a Dell R720 and it's been pretty addictive. The parallel rise of cheap auctioned hardware and VM technology in general dovetailed nicely over the last decade or so.
(Btw, yes, the NSA is indeed stealing my porn but the proof is too long to fit into the bottom of this post.)
Thanks much for posting that. Been looking for a modern and complete open source replacement to a 15+year temp email service I've been using. But also one that my non-tech family members could also adopt. Somehow missed this one, definitely looks like it checks off enough boxes to meet the criteria and a clear path to self hosting as a backup.
I suspect most do since credit cards have been around for a couple generations now. Which is why I suspect most don't think the same way about their information devices, they're less than a decade old and still magical mystery boxes to most. Willing to be proven wrong if there's good data out there, of course.
Isn't the real question whether the average Joe knows it's crucial to scrub+deregister any of these information devices whether it's easy or not? Does the shopping cart include a big huge red warning when you buy it that it's dangerous to not completely scrub these things when disposing? That it's not like tossing a broken toaster in the garbage?
Obviously in this example it's not so much that your Amazon account will get hacked, unauthorized purchases can be resolved via customer service or cc chargebacks as a last resort. The real issue is what info can be gleaned for social engineering use on the serious accounts in your life. I'd be surprised if many device buyers go through that thought process before posting on Ebay, let alone when they hit the order button for the initial purchase.
Probably too young to remember but the total lockup feature was indeed innovated way back into Windows 3.1. If you made it past that and to the BSOD screen then, congrats, you won.
(Yeah I know, also remember doing plenty of stupid pointer mistakes that weren't the OS's fault so sue me)
If they truly innovated by using the color Daffodil then we could make Marquis DSOD jokes about using Windows.
But they didn't. Sigh.
Well said, it's the way it should work and it appears they're not afraid to back it up by actually issuing fines. Not holding my breath for that to ever work out here.
Well, I'd pay $60 a year in a heartbeat with your caveat about privacy satisfied. The problem is itemizing all the ways privacy are exploited these days, then seeing if all of those ways are covered by the legalese in the privacy statement. A herculean task obviously.
Having said that, the privacy page is pretty readable and to my layman's eye there didn't appear to be any obvious gotchas, and included an automatic history deletion statement too (90 days).
Of course the bottom line is whether the results are good. But given how low the bar is compared to Bing (as useful as nipples on a guy) and DDG (close but no cigar), Neeva's pedigree might get them to an acceptable level of quality.
Going to give the trial period a shot, fingers crossed.
Slight correction to your post; for Q1 2021, page 6 of the 10-Q summary shows total assets =$163.5B of which $64.2B was cash and cash equivalents, not $1T.
Air pollution is really making us pay through the nose.
