I'd rephrase that as moving back toward search.
Google wasn't always there, and even after it became popular, some time passed before the name was used as a verb.
Personally, I Ask Jeeves to Lycos it.

Learned something new, pedantry FTW!

Clearly in over my head on this, I'm just going to stop using the term altogether.
The side of your case that has the motherboard's backplate (where you plug everything in) is the bottom. On the vast majority of towers, the plate is on the right side, meaning left is up.
EDIT: right/left when looking at the front of the case.
Speaking out against something is battling it, battle is a verb in this context. Both Oxford and Webster agree [0,1].
Forceful suppression of pseudoscience can be achieved through law and education, see the Scopes Trial [2]. This is another with thousands of examples, from women's right to vote, to smoking cigarettes.

Each facet of nonsense you've mentioned is being battled by one group of skeptics or another. Off the top of my head, there's the work of James Randi, Richard Dawkins, Brian Dunning, and Steven Novella. Those people aren't fighting ideas they're afraid are true, they fear the harmful outcome of misplaced beliefs.
If people weren't battling pseudoscience, you'd see a lot more of it in your day-to-day life, and society as a whole would be much worse off. That's not speculation, it's a solid fact.
Put it in the context of operating systems, and the guy was saying "This is the next Windows." That would be laughable.
Again though, good for him, fight the giants. But, he's got to expect some eye-rolls and giggles when making such lofty claims.
This is how populism works, and it's only going to get worse.
EDIT: The original misguided pedant has now changed "worse" to "worst" in both instances; after downvoting me, of course.
All of these third-parties surely have nothing but the best of intentions when executing code in my browser, but I'd still appreciate a simplified alternative for viewing the content.

Reading your comment caused me to log in to my security server and make sure I'm not nuts about the ease of viewing Motion feeds. Viewing its feeds in a browser is simple, from anywhere on the network. I'm curious what problems you had.
On a similar note, I stuck with plain-old Motion because of its super-low overhead. GUI aside, is Motioneye much of an upgrade? How does its resource footprint compare to Motion's?
Easiest way to find the RSS feed on most sites is to search for "RSS" in the page source; there's usually just one instance, and it's a direct link.
These days, many sites don't advertise their feeds, but it's still in the source (and is often broken in one way or another). If it is botched, a friendly email to their web admin with a link to the W3C Feed Validator [1] can go a long way; most times it's an easy fix for them.
Forgot that this is Hacker News and not Tumblr; I don't even know where they keep the pitchforks and torches around here.
Apologies for wrongfully flagging your comment. I wanted to hide it, in case you didn't know the context and were signed out for the day. I'm with you 100% on whitewashing and censorship, even though that seems to be exactly what I was doing.
Cheers for the friendly response. I'm going to have to check out that book.
That's the crux of my argument. There is no scenario where one can continue to drive a car with a coolant leak. This kills the engine.
Our discussion feels like a mechanic arguing with an engineer. Probably because that's exactly what's happening.
The average operating temperature of engine coolant is around 200F, the only reason it doesn't boil over is because of the aforementioned pressure, which is usually around 15PSI (bringing the boiling point to just above 250F).
The rating on 50/50 antifreeze relies on coolant system pressure, it (ethylene glycol) will boil like water if put on a stove. The key to antifreeze is in its name: anti-freeze. It does raise the boiling point of water a little, but that's just a side benefit and is of no real significance (plain water transfers heat better).
These readily available facts contradict the comment above. The person is certainly trying to make a point, but they seem to have the fundamentals completely wrong.
I always have some tomato cages ready as backup, because even if the corn is big enough to support the beans, a gust of wind can blow it all over.
Also, deer eat corn shoots. Damn you, deer. Damn you.
They spend big on politicians, for even bigger profits. Just look at the mess our Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is creating with Net Neutrality at the moment (and for the last few years, over-and-over).
Nearly all of the crap that consumers have to put up with in the states is due to lobbyists, and the telecom industry doesn't cut corners in that department.
Now I need new words. Damned kids and your identity politics!
Would someone please explain what this means, wouldn't an anti-regressive be a progressive? If so, why not state it that way?
Also, I thought the term "skeptic" had been hijacked by conspiracy wackos. When I think of a classic skeptic, I look to James Randi and the like; critical thinkers who expose quackery. But, for the last 15-20 years, conspiracy theorists have taken the term over (e.g. vaccine/climate/GMO skeptics). I fall into the Randi group of skeptics, but I sure as hell don't describe myself using that word, for fear of being lumped in with the second lot.
Real skeptics tend to be progressive, conspiracy skeptics tend to be regressive.
Based on the spelling, I'll assume emsy is a Brit... maybe things are different over there, but Randi was always more popular in England than in the US. I'm missing something.

Here's a HN discussion regarding a Harvard study on the subject, from 7 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=199394
Please provide some evidence that these studies are insignificant and incorrect.
Redshift seems to be the top choice for Linux users though, because f.lux lacks some basic features (like being able to turn it on during daylight hours). The trade-off is that f.lux is easier to install and has a smaller footprint.
Also worth noting is that Redshift is FOSS, and f.lux is not (though there are forks on githib, so I must be missing something).
Personally, I have no interest in sacrificing my privacy for "free" services. I'm not important, nothing I do is controversial or of any significance, but having my activities logged and monitored by a giant all-seeing eye is still uncomfortable. It's disturbing, to me, how accepting of these things people have become.
Also, how is a Raspberry Pi (hardware) going to be reproduced in a shell (software)?
I must be misunderstanding something here.
$400-$600, for a device from 2013. Wow.
That said, geothermal activity isn't confined to the park borders, and there may be a suitable spot outside of the park. But again, politics. Building a geothermal plant in the middle of natural gas country would be a challenge.
Small note about Iceland- My web host (1984) is located there, and the servers run on 100% geothermal. That, in combination with the stellar privacy laws, make Iceland a nice fit for me.
