The market kept seeing huge gains despite the inflation and recession narrative circa Dec 2022-Jan 2025. This one should be interesting too. Truth is, we're in a bull market. NPR is CNBC is NPR
The original uploaded file is always available for download, without any processing. Agree that the processing they apply for derivative files is often dated and awful (and they don't let an uploader opt out). And the broken torrent files they've been serving for a decade with corrupt and missing files is absurd.
But raw DVD RIPs of commercial DVDs, FLACs of the most popular albums of all time, and seven perfect copies of every Nintendo Switch game ever made, curated by seven different warez groups are also available.
> Ironically this is also why there is so much existential fear about AI in the media. LLMs will do to them what they do to primary sources (and more likely just cut them out of the loop).
Maybe.. not. LLMs may just flow where the money goes. Open AI has a deal with the FT, etc.
The AI platforms haven't touched any UI devolution at all because they're a hot commodity.
Google’s biggest threat is their own deteriorating search results. Gen Z/alpha are interesting barometers, because many of them probably can’t remember a time when Google search didn’t suck.
I would use Google if there was anything to find. At this point, just figure out if you’re looking for a reddit post, a Wikipedia article or a github repo and go to the source — or let Claude do it for you.
Google sucking isn’t google’s algorithm getting worse; it’s the internet getting more competitive and polluted. If you magically turned on the recommendation algorithm from 2010 but with today’s internet, the results would be far far worse.
It's their algo getting worse. They have pushed search results below the fold and filled the whole top part of the page up with ads. They are optimizing for engagement, you searching repeatedly trying to find the right keywords/phrase is better for them than you actually finding what you are after.
There are many search engines that don't have an issue with the internet being "competitive and polluted". So you want me to believe that the people (Google) with the most experience and knowledge about search just can't handle it. While it seemingly is no issue for most of the upstarts? That's just not believable.
That is like computer viruses, the biggest vendors get the most attacks targeted at them, so using a less well known OS makes you safer even though the big vendors spends way more on safety.
This really doesn't seem like a good idea. If people like the idea of browser independence they just need to stop brigading Ladybird with frivolous nonsense[0].
Legally, yes. Practically, the EU still has borders and barriers. Language, pension systems, degree equivalence, etc.
Oh and also remember that the EU has freedom of movement for labour, not necessarily people. If you don’t have enough money, you can’t just move to another EU country and hope things work out.
