null0ranje commented on I dumped Google for Kagi   arstechnica.com/gadgets/2... · Posted by u/thimabi

> It has been so long since I've had to !g something that I don't even remember the last time.

I use !g once a week or so in Kagi, and 100% of the time, google’s results are worse. It’s usually something bogus I’m searching for, and there really isn’t anything to be said about it, but when I search google for it, I get a ton more junk that is totally unrelated to my query.

Kagi’s results are better than google’s 100% of the time that I compare the two. It’s no exaggeration.

This is my experience as well. Whenever I !g as search, it is usually in desperation. I can’t remember the last time I found something on Google I couldn’t on Kagi.

Very little information about safety other than marketing speak "Utilizing the latest in advanced safety technology—sensors to predict and classify collisions before they happen, airbags, and structural technology—to make our vehicles safer for everyone on the road."

Have they never heard of a crumple zone?

null0ranje · a month ago
I'm pretty skeptical of the safety as well. It's also pretty hard to judge where there don't seem to be any actual photographs of the vehicle, only computer renderings.

I would love a small truck like this, but I would honestly buy an old Tacoma or Ranger before even considering buying this on spec.

*edit: digging around I did find some footage on YouTube with actual vehicles. I'm definitely skeptical on the safety now.

The company's products in my and other people's views have caused a significant wane in vegetarian and vegan burger diversity. Gone are the chickpea and black bean burgers on menus—your only choice is Beyond Meat-esque burgers.

As someone who doesn't actually really like how Beyond Meat tastes, it's unfortunate that it's the only option sometimes. As someone who likes food variety and practically needs it, eliminating choice is the worst.

I have to concur about processing as well. Indian cuisine has so many unprocessed and nutritious meals that are vegetarian. So does Ethiopian cuisine. Mediterranean foods, Tex-mex, and lots of South American food can be made vegetarian. There are great ideas for burgers from here too. See https://www.shopdeepfoods.com/product/aloo-tikki-141-oz?pid=....

I've wanted to try some of the NYTimes vegetarian and vegan burger recipes when I get the chance. My point is, Beyond Meat seems to reduce the better-testing and less processed competition.

Ive never understood the drive to make meat substitutes instead of celebrating vegetarian cuisine. I’m not a vegetarian, but if I eat some dish that is vegetarian, why wouldn’t I want to celebrate the vegetable itself made from instead of trying to make some fake meat that never quite hits the mark?

Isn't part of the reasons to run a public DNS to sell these hard earned info for profit to marketers etc but they just release publicly? Of course this is just the tip of the iceberg of the information they gather.

Really interesting to know though.

Some just look way high up and could mean buggy implementation without proper cache usage or persistently banging the domain.

Data in the aggregate is quite interesting and probably of little value to marketers.

Can you do it for just one stamp or do you need to weigh and label it?

You have to weigh it.

I mean, wouldn’t this be measured by actual threat model and just “vibes” or whatever?

I often can no longer ask for a menu at restaurants that expect me to scan a QR code. Well…I can ask, but they don’t have any to provide.
null0ranje · 6 months ago
I just leave restaurants that have gone to the online-only menu. It's usually an indicator that there are other terrible cuts in service and quality going on as well.

Reminds me of the old Deathrow cluster. Sadly it shut down years ago after a hardware failure.

bottlepalm · a year ago
Embarrassing, NASA has been downplaying the seriousness of this for months.

Boeing is cooked. SLS should be scrapped. There has got to be consequences for over spending, under delivering, and outright failing.

null0ranje · a year ago
It's a fixed-price contract, so Boeing is out $1.5 billion on this.
