definitely protonmail for sure

> if I grouped google products, I think successful and launched before 2006 would be the same

In October 2006, YouTube was bought by Google for $1.65 billion.[11]

Google Maps was launched in February 2005.[2]

These are the last 2 Google products I use

Search got replaced by DDG then Ecosia Chrome by Firefox Gmail by my own mail server My Pixel 2 ran out of security coverage and sick of buying a new phone every 2 years I went to an iphone xs

Youtube and Maps are the only two sticky products left and both came about when I was in high school

> Also, they have used their own encryption algorithm in the past (I don’t know now)

why not just look this info up before replying ?

I think this is exactly the type of post the OP was talking about

there's also a billion times where i've clicked on a twitter link which is a useless summary and a link to the actual article

no ty!

funnily enough i was looking for 'benefits of marriage for women' yesterday but for some reason all the links kept coming back to how men get so many positive benefits from it but we're opting out of it en mass and how because all the benefits go to men, women are opting out as well!

i'm still interested if anyone has links or studies on the benefits for women

That was a bunch of malarkey, I don't know if it's irony but funnily enough they did it to make their devices last longer...

Our goal is to deliver the best experience for customers, which includes overall performance and prolonging the life of their devices. Lithium-ion batteries become less capable of supplying peak current demands when in cold conditions, have a low battery charge or as they age over time, which can result in the device unexpectedly shutting down to protect its electronic components.

Last year we released a feature for iPhone 6, iPhone 6s and iPhone SE to smooth out the instantaneous peaks only when needed to prevent the device from unexpectedly shutting down during these conditions. We’ve now extended that feature to iPhone 7 with iOS 11.2, and plan to add support for other products in the future.

Cheaper than free electricity from your solar panels? Heat pump + timer seems like the cheapest

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, looks like we both had a similar path around the same time. I tried DDG very early on maybe 2012/13 and the results were awful but I tried it again in 2017 and found it works fine.

I have since moved to Ecosia a year or two ago as I found the results were very similar and have no issue with it.

How did this get to the top of HN?

when was the last time someone was arrested for possession of pornography?

The reply: It's all going to be fixed in 4.5.1 anyway.

could it somehow get access to the subtitles and then use them to answer queries?

also i hope this comes to ecosia, would like to experiment and try it at least

In this case it seems like it's just an online version of magic which retains the card trading: https://godsunchained.com/

As someone who went from Google to Duckduckgo to now Ecosia have to say I have no issues using Ecosia with the bing backend, do I wish I got a great result first time everytime? sure but it's not like I was getting that with Google either

Looks like a black swan to me, prices steady and trending downwards over the previous 20 years until Covid/Russian invasion which resulted in insane Euro demand

We can see that renewables are soaking up a lot of the increase in demand, for example you can see South Australia go from coal and gas making up 100% of supply 10 years ago to just gas making up 16% and with the installation of new batteries and hydrolisers in the next few years to drop even further.

It just so happens that SA went hard on renewables because they had some of the most expensive power in the world. I'm sorry that it's not impressive to you. :(

You can also see my home state of Queensland: https://opennem.org.au/energy/qld1/?range=all&interval=1M

Increases in power demand are being met by renewables and it's now taking a bite out of fossil fuels with the largest ever investments by a long shot this year. I've never seen so much money thrown at an issue.

They are also all connected to an Australian grid which connects SA, VIC, NSW, QLD and TAS together, so when for example SA has excess cheap renewable power it can export it to another state reducing their power costs and thus their fossil fuel usage.

> obviously that state is still burning a lot of gas to generate electricity.

Yes but the point is that it has gone down significantly over the last 10 years and this is happening all over the world.

We'll also soon be helping power Singapore:

> is not going to cut it for climate change though.

At the end of the day if China/India/Vietnam and Indonesia seek to continue to build coal power plants then that's on them and I will continue to push against buying things made in those countries.

Is coal dead? no definitely not, will renewables have replaced significant amounts of coal in the next 20 years, I'd bet the house.

This is a bit like saying mp3s will never take off after napster got shut down and cd sales briefly went back up

You're using a black swan event (russian invasion of ukraine) like it's a baseline of what to expect in the future, ignoring that the world has invested more money into renewables this year than ever before

The world is definitely moving on from coal and gas and I reckon this coal crisis will be the last, I expect to see a lot more articles like this coming up around the world:

sanctions against a privately owned website eh? I've seen sites blocked because of illegal content etc but never because a website banned certain users

Why do you still use it? Is it just because it's cheap?

Doesn't https://mycroft.ai fit this purpose?

Looks like you can ssh in: https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/mark-ii/advanced/ssh-access

and has python running on it:

Has anyone got one though?

this comment does nothing for me, it's like saying the internet is a terrible idea and then no explanation why you think so.

True but if female nurses are having issues lifting patients that would then be an opportunity for private enterprise to invent machines/tools that assist with this

I'd say 95% of people on this website haven't received one and even Bumble said it's around 0.1% of users which is not comparable to spam levels at all

is this an out of season april fools joke?

Yes it can, I've saved tons of pictures... why do you think it can't?
