I've been using Kagi over the last few days and have actually been pleasantly surprised with it performing better than both Google and DDG for my use cases. It's still free during the beta so might be worth giving it a shot.

Our platform involves ingesting and modeling hundreds of thousands of high-resolution smart meter timeseries and surfacing analyses and insights to our users at utilities and energy suppliers. We're looking for a senior front-end/full stack software engineer to help us build our user facing applications.
Our stack uses Python (Flask), React, and Google Cloud Platform. You'll be responsible for building user-facing products on top of Python APIs and interactive React visualizations. The product work revolves around transforming smart meter and weather data into exploratory insights for enterprise customers. Visualization expertise (D3) is a big plus, and if you have an eye for product - even better.
Our engineering team is still quite small, so the right candidate can have a big impact on our tools and infrastructure. We are strong supporters of open source and we encourage our employees to publish and give talks about the work they do at Amperon.

Rent sucks, yes, but I live here because I like it here, not because I need to for my job.
I think the last thing the United States needs is more people glorifying the horrendous car culture that has been built up in this country.
Seriously, the whole blockchain industry reeks of technologists who don’t understand business needs and business people who don’t understand the technology. Having worked in the industry myself for long enough to hit this realization I’d highly recommmend others to steer clear and not try to base their career on this stuff.
Conflictingy, I do think it’s worth most programmers’ time to at least read up on how blockchains work, as it is certainly an interesting and worthwhile academic experience in applied cryptography.
Is this just a way to fundraise or do you have other ideas to make your product ‘decentralized’ aside from using a cryptocurrency?
For the record, everything else about the product looks amazing and I’m really excited to see an open and privacy conscience alternative in this space :)
The main downside, as someone else has mentioned here with org-mode, is the lack of a good mobile editor. This is something I’ve wanted to find time to fix for years but still haven’t had a chance.
That said, sometimes I wonder if Apple will ever make the plunge and make an iOS version of Xcode. The thought of a mobile version seems scary, and obviously this would only be practical on the iPad, but at the same time if they ever try to make the iPad replace the professional workhorse that the Mac currently is that'd be a natural direction to go in.
Orrrrr a good amount of racism lead to a great White Flight[1] which trapped minorities in downtown areas that were left to rot.
Here we are, 4 years later, and while I think I saw a surface level societal change at that point, I completely missed the bigger picture of society being actively manipulated by companies, governments, etc. through tech for their own gain.
Crazy times we live in.

This might be exactly what you're looking for :)
That being said, perhaps a better comparison would be Ryanair vs Spirit, but American budget airlines are still pretty limited in routes and aren't nearly as entrenched as their European counterparts.
Frankly, if we're going to die out because of "natural cycles" so be it. I just don't want our species to die out because of something we could have prevented by being less selfish/exploitative.
What exactly are you referring to here? The sun expanding and becoming hotter as it ages? If so we're talking about the timeline of a few billion years. Climate change is something that has already begun to affect us and will continue to worsen over the course of the next few decades, which makes this issue far more pressing than whatever "natural warming" you're referring to.
I've yet to see any sort of metric (certainly not the US Census) that supports that claim.
I really don't see the appeal of hooking up my tv to the internet if the only thing I'll get in return is buggy service integrations and, worse, the tv spying on my viewing habits. This is on top of the added potential for security exploits on a poorly maintained device connected to my home network.
Were you not watching this latest election cycle?
My anecdotal data point: the homepage only seemed to have a video explanation, I dropped off right then because I didn't want to watch a 2 minute video about how this works.
