Yes, Tor was developed by the US Government for US spies in Russia.
GPS was developed by the US Government.
RSA was classified by the US Government.
Lots of other stuff is also connected to the US government.
The title is misleading.
Now I am in a debate.
Is this bad because he is trying to associate more things with the USA, or good because America is two whole continent where Mexico is just a country.
Check out this media bias chart.

Hint: though some search features are paid etc. There is raw data in JSON format in the raw HTML code.

Google News works decent.
My problem is that very few media are right leaning, so bias meditation via counterweight is impossible.
Note: I've had this post drafted for 3 YEARS!!! It's finally time to publish it.
Did you say that just so we could imagine the world where you published it earlier?
Thanks anyway, and nice site!
I though he would try to net profit through probability by requesting to regenerate the file and hope to get a compressible one in at least 5000/100=50 times. (Though I don't think that would work.)
`curl hashbang.sh` to see script without running
Why exactly not?
`before:2023`
Exactly the same problems as with shipping container homes.
Who is making the fake info generator for all of these?
There has been a discussion on HN regarding TOS if you think that's important: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34713133
Thank you so much for making this.
I am still figuring out how exactly the filter works. The guide you linked is great, but I was confused how to replicate the steps in your editor.
Fur purposes of playing around, it would be great if you linked some good images/examples. The ones in my download folder are kind of bad.
Daily reminder that the world is still on fire.
More people die of Suicide than Malaria aparently.
Somehow what actually kills people, is different from what you think kills people.
Someone should make a search engine for these.
Edit: Someone already made something, but it is crappy: https://legacy.awesomelists.top/#/
FYI: Schools have firewalls that block social media, but kids learn to use VPNs.
Some schools ban phones but allow laptops and tablets. It is the phones specifically that are the problem, not social media. (apparently)
My phone usage dropped after I got a personal laptop and an eBook reader. So did pretty much every one else's. The phone is just really inconvenient for anything other than doomscrolling.
In my opinion, the lack of alternative activities is overlooked. It is a ban and a prayer that the problem will solve itself.
Fairly useless project in my impression.
Wikipedia can give the same or better answers.
You would need to be have insane quality control especially on the "Learn more" sections. The articles linked right now are nowhere close to good enough.
My first search result was thehotline.org, and it does have a button that redirects to google.com. (But that's a US site)
You can quickly leave this website by clicking the “X” in the top right or by pressing the Escape key twice.
And it does have some kind of Escape key functionality.
The gov.uk page has some listed hotlines by nation (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/domestic-abuse-how-to-get-help#g...), but none of them are actually using that exact red button:
- https://www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk/ uses green bookmark in bottom right and redirects to google.co.uk
- https://dsahelpline.org/ has a green area at the bottom right
Post mortem:
janreges is according to the website (siteone.cz) one of the top 3 people at his company, and the tool and website look well made. By "non-professional" I meant that there is some kind of mismatch between my expectations and the style he replies to people here.
I was trying to establish the oddity of the situation to encourage more digging, and didn't express my point clearly enough.
My apologies to janreges. I know my own expertise and social sense are bad, so please don't take any of this to heart.
For some odd reason, the tool didn't get any replies on Reddit, HN, AlternativeTo.net or GitHub, despite looking fairly sophisticated. The dev is also non-professional.
Maybe I am bad at digging, but I couldn't find anything about siteone.io. The entire situation is strange.

I always notice these patterns on HN.
Always gives me dejavu and that feeling you get when you suddenly start encountering some new topic or word in suspiciously large amounts.
Some big sciency/techy outlet puts something interesting out, and suddenly related topics start popping up everywhere else. I am guilty of a few of these myself.
It was already posted 3 years ago, and you should read the thread. Apparently Wikipedia can give you randoms from more specific categories.
I screwed up the link. I intended it to be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
I will pretend this was supposed to be XKCD 221 https://xkcd.com/221/
For Android I recommend "OSS Document Scanner" it is just as good as MS Lens and CamScanner in my experience.
Tell him about Enhancer for YouTube Chrome Extension, it can go past 2x.
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/enhancer-for-youtub...
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-...
And I totally agree with your son, YouTube and Podcasts are sometimes just slow or waste time with irrelevant/boring information, and changing the playback speed is a highly underrated way to deal with it. You do get used to 2x after a while.
What are you guys writing that your thinking speed outperforms your writing speed to the point where you have to optimize your software and hardware?
In my (very minuscule) experience in writing 99% of the time is spent switching between browser, scratchpad, notes, and standing up to take a walk and think about it.
Start with the minimum possible format you can (plaintext) and step up a standard when necessary. The simpler the standard, the more software there is that just works with it.
Just so you know, there have been tones of discussion of AdNausea on hn:
https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
It is a fork of uBlock origin.
The concept sounds great: support the websites you visit while screwing the advertiser. (Did I even understand this correctly?)
But I have a strong feeling like there is a caveat somewhere in here. I see only positive things about AdNausea, but good technology should be well discussed from both sides.
Also, I have a hunch like it is incompatible with privacy browsers out of the box.
Modern educational videos/films feel lower quality (in terms of content) even with all the modern tech at their disposal.
Better technology doesn't seem to improve education. The quality of the content is 99% the skill of the teacher.
