This is no mere political news, but an ominous sign of the times - of today's broken system. It might/will directly affect more than half of the hackers and indirectly all of us.

It seems that on first request it query google for unique client ID (getting NID Cookie)
Requests to safebrowsing are not anonymous. All of them signed with cookie, getted on the first 2-3 requests
EDIT: You added those two sentences. The guy claims changing the default search engine didn't change this behavior.
Reading about the volumes, I see sentences like new ingredients such as gelling and thickening agents, emulsifiers, and foams have found their way into every corner of Modernist cuisine.
Ever want to infuse liquid smoke into lettuce or noodles? Ehm, no, not really!
using prehydrated starches and hydrocolloids to thicken hot and cold liquids; making edible films
I won't touch this pretentious book with a ten-foot pole. Cooking is an art, a lore, not science or mathematics. And I want something more than "edible films" on my plates.
In the medium run this will only benefit Google.

It will make your mornings so much more enjoyable and give you a precious moment of self-care and contemplation every (other) day.

The height can be adjusted either manually (hydraulic system) or with a motor. It works better than it sounds. You can adjust the height even with a loaded desk easily.
The only question is: Would I remember to change my posture regularly?
Are hackers going to post every calculator they come up with?
I can't imagine how this is not deliberate.

The techniques that I'll discuss in this article generally fall under the heading of behavioral psychology. Best known for the work done on animals in the field, behavioral psychology focuses on experiments and observable actions. One hallmark of behavioral research is that most of the major experimental discoveries are species-independent and can be found in anything from birds to fish to humans. What behavioral psychologists look for (and what will be our focus here) are general "rules" for learning and for how minds respond to their environment.
I for myself prefer tap water (capital city, central Europe).
A parallel factor to consider is that companies these days just do not run out of money. That is not a function of an abundance of capital as much as it is a function of how damn cheap it is to run a company. Burn rates of $4500 for three guys are the norm in my portfolio. Thus, there is not a dependency on seeking a Series A.
This is how our small startup is working and we didn't even need any funding besides FFF. Our budget is very tight, but the emphasis on being break-even very soon helps us focus IMO.
What bothers me is not the dumb post, but the fact that the author doesn't even try to explain the difference and apparently people behind Rescuetime defend the post here at HN as if it was real research.
No trend can be read out of this data.
