Brave, DuckDuckGo to unplug Google's AMP where possible

rpark
FAIL

“Bypassing the AMP cache goes against the choice sites have made to deliver a fast, high-quality experience for their visitors." - uh-huh, Google generously provides 'choices' for a free and unmonopolized internet, primarily where it benefits Google's monopoly- what a 'swell' company !

...40MB, holy smokes ! - I still 'pine' for the Iomega 10MB (8") cartridge and 'side by side' drive days, or the IBM Tempest PC System w/10MB Syquest removable cartridge drives (that mostly never worked well)- they were a particular favorite at the Pentagon.

Not our fault

“Our industry will come back, but it will take some years to return to what it was just two months ago.” - particularly when you keep reducing staff due in part to your own self-inflicted quality control failures, and the FAA's inability to protect/ cover for your egregious failures resulting in the death of 100's.

That this AI can simulate universes in 30ms is not the scary part. It's that its creators don't know why it works so well

Dark matter

...Shirley Ho believes Dark Matter is an entirely separate category from the particle simulation (dogs, cats, elephants) leading to her confusion. The particles originate from the Dark Matter and resolve back into the 'Dark Matter' - DM isn't separate from 'regular matter' it originates it.

DataCenter UPS

Re: @cyke1 Hope they win.

...My Techicolor TC8305C router is an 802.11n (single band Wi-Fi 802.11n - 2.4GHz 3x3 with optional 200mW high power) but, if you have the TC8717 (dual band concurrent high power Wi-Fi - 802.11n 2.4GHz and 802.11ac 5GHz 3x3) then your bandwidth dilution will be minimal. I TOTALLY agree with you though, because its like being raped in your sleep and then finding out about it later-- you were still violated (but you apparently agreed to being raped, in your sleep, when you signed the disclaimer).
