Apparently, that address does not exist.

> Monotheistic religions, atleast the unfabricated

Ummmm.

Are there any unfabricated religions?

Oh. In that case I got DDG and StartPage confused.

Maybe StartPage still displays Google's ads? They display some ads.

From /r/darknetmarkets (so grain of salt is needed):

> yeah it was about 6-9 months before it shut down if I remember correctly, it was pretty highly upvoted and a lot of chatter about it on the SR forums. though I think there were at least a few bugs that they had to shut down for once they realized that their asses were on the line.

So yeah, apparently this was an actual bug.

As far as I know, DDG doesn't have a crawler and just uses other search APIs (Google, Bing).

edit: OK, I was wrong - https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckbot

Not if you build the extension yourself; but then you don't have the updates.

Nobody is sure how they did it. Or even if it comes from iCloud.

The leakers themselves claim it was from iCloud (the actual leaker only bought it online from various hackers though, again according to him).

Sorry if it's a dumb question. But how does this workflow work?

Are the html/js/css generated on my local pc, or on the github server? I don't get it.

(I have no experience with Jekyll. I have some static pages on github pages.)

Everything looks better with Gotham, whether it's Obama, DC Comics, Twitter or USPS.

I also like Montserrat, free typeface kind of similar to Gotham, yet kind of different.

I take issue with the presenting of this.

The prime itself is kind of useless. What is useful is the number, plus the instructions about what to do with it, how to run it, how to apply it.

This is similar to saying "Book is just a collection of letters, but you can distribute the actual letters one by one and it's allright, isn't copyright absurd?".

"I am not trusting Google with my data, because it's in bed with US government too much.

Instead, I will trust BaiDu, that's even more in bed with far more oppresive goverment."

I don't know about that.

Well first it uses .edu domain name, indicating that it's something else than it is.

Then it lures you in with a "download thesis" tease, with a big DOWNLOAD HERE link. Then it forces you to fill in pages and pages and pages and pages of things that you have no interest in filling. Then it automatically "follows" tons people that you have no interest in following. Then it starts sending annoying e-mails.

Just because you wanted to download that one file, you are suddenly in a "network" you had no interest of entering in the first place.

As one Czech saying goes, "you give then a finger and they bite away your whole hand".

I got reminded of academia.edu.

I hate that site. Way more than I hate LinkedIn. And that's something.

Sorry for derailing.

This seems to be the original Linux Foundation video, with way more views. (But exactly the same content.)

I don't want to sound negative, but when I look at the "latest public documents", most of them seem to be copyright infridgement.

But good luck anyway.

Yeah, I don't think there is a conspiracy. I think you are full of it.

edit: see, that was a critical thinking.

This is called "bikeshedding" and it's inevitable.

This one I agree with, but telco is basically an oligopoly anyway (created by a necesitty).

There needs to be a regulation, because it's not a free market. You cannot just created a new operator because everything is licensed.

I wanted to recommend ZOHO as India-based company.

But Zoho is still US-based, apparently ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZOHO_Corporation ).

There is probably something by Yandex (Moscow-based company, that is officially registered in Netherland).

As a citizen of EU, I very much doubt it.

Most of the technical revolutions in the past decade(s) was brought to us by the giants. Never by the governments.

The most that will happen is more variants of the demented "cookie law" and "Google deletion law".

I think this flies in the face only in the conspiracy theory "they are watching us because they are evil".

I don't think they are. I think the dragnet did started with good intentions, does bring some useful intelligence and is kind of useful.

The problem is the collateral damage is just too high, and the debate should be around that.

I very much doubt there is any child porn website, available on clearweb, indexed by google.

(I am not talking about eepsites/tor hidden services here. But those are not indexed by Google.)

Does the US constitution matter with respect to non-US entities though?

Why should US-based agency care about rights of German citizens, for example?

OK, I am going to play a devil's advocate.

- The job of three-letters agencies is to find out all various enemies of the state. That includes terrorists, but also various gangsters, officials of sort-of-enemy states (like Russia). That's why they exist.

- Following US nation interests has higher priority than rights of citizens, especially in other countries.

- People, that US have a reason to spy on, probably will use Tor/Tails, or at least try to find something about it. It makes sense for NSA to filter those people and focus their spying on them specially.

- Not all Tor interested folks will be evil, but the percentage there will be much higher than in just random internet. So it makes sense to focus on them. Just like it makes sense for a local police to be in a neighbourhood, that's known for a higher criminality.

So I understand why NSA does this, and why do they single out Tor-interested folks.

There are too many Show HNs all of a sudden!

LibreSSL is yet very experimental and OpenBSD-focused.

Which is not wrong, but I wouldn't say it's right now well-baked for inclusion in major Linux distributions.

Obamacare argument was inevitable, wasn't it.
