We don't plan on sharing any info. Our ads would be more inline with DDG's, and based only on the user query.

Can you share your search query? Thank you!

There are a lot of factors that go into our search algorithm, but in brief, we crawl the web, check various sources for ratings, and we also do sentiment analysis when possible.

Oh, and we just hardcoded some popular recommended searches in the search field.

It looks like some terms have slipped through, which we learned about only because of user searches. XD

"best boobs" "best hentai"

Yeah, I figured we'd lose a lot of people there, but what can you do? Maybe we'll add it in the future when we have some kind of "safe search" option.

Exactly. When I'm feeling stressed and overwhelmed, I like to envision zooming out of myself on Earth to our solar system and beyond to remind myself of how small I am, along with my stressors.

The green can be very helpful during video productions where screen replacement is needed in post production. Though, it’d be even more helpful to not only be green, but to have tracking markers as well.

It sounds like you need to read or reread Walter Isaacson's biography on Steve.

Sure he was an asshole, but there is still a lot to be learned from the man.

Are you in the market to buy a startup? My guess is that most people wanting to legitimately buy a business will have a LinkedIn account.

I’m curious how you’d vet users if you were running the platform.

Here’s a good interview with the founder.

When you ask a company a question via MA, they can look at your LinkedIn account before turning over any info.

Has anyone mentioned this footage being shot over green screen and a jungle composited in the background?

Gotta love this addition to make it seem like this monkey is living the life.

Nah, more like the kind that spends his money on drugs and alcohol rather than providing the essentials for his family.

Check out https://www.thesyndicate.com/. I just joined, as I’m in a similar boat.

I love this idea!

Agreed! Mine was too busy abusing drugs and alcohol.

Ultimately, the CEO should take responsibility for everything. Finger pointing is not a leadership skill.
