IndexPointer··on Ask HN: Book recommendations for understanding financial systems?
I'll wait for next week to see if that's true before adding it to my list.
IndexPointer··on My Ordinary Life: Improvements Since the 1990s
I would really like to see that. I've heard it so many times and I'm sure it's wrong memories.
IndexPointer··on To get good, go after the metagame
I'm not sure I understand what he means by meta game.

Is it adapting to rule changes? Or simply focusing on abusing the rules instead of just being good at the fundamentals of the game?

IndexPointer··on "This community is available in the app"
I hope someone comes along and makes a less hostile alternative to reddit soon...
IndexPointer··on DuckDuckGo Traffic
The text in their help is confusing, but it kind of implies that their crawler is for answers only, and that web results come from Bing and yahoo (which is powered by Bing).
IndexPointer··on DuckDuckGo Traffic
I believe most phones are OLED now..
IndexPointer··on DuckDuckGo Traffic
I believe it's only Bing and yandex for web, and other sources for the other things, but I don't have a source right now.
IndexPointer··on DuckDuckGo Traffic
I don't know why they would, though. They get paid and it doesn't steal traffic from them. Unless Bing releases its own anonymous mode and DDG becomes a competitor. Then they could charge more or force DDG to display "powered by Bing" in the logo. That would be the end of DDG.

I remember reading that it uses only Bing for web results and their crawler for Wikipedia only.
