- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 5 months ago:
DDG pays Bing to use their API. DDG makes money by placing ads in the results.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 5 months ago:
It’s great that DDG doesn’t track a users searches. It really is.
But at the end of the day, it’s still just an ad platform being used by companies to sell you things.
And here you are complaining about someone explaining an alternative ad-free search. Just think about that for a moment. - Comment on What's a word that means a common saying which is arguably untrue? 6 months ago:

- Comment on Panera founder says employees today aren't motivated by the idea of making money for shareholders: 'Nobody cares' 6 months ago:
They might know people will infer that. But that’s still not in the text itself. And insisting it is requires mind reading.
One should always keep Hanlon’s Razor in mind.
- Comment on Panera founder says employees today aren't motivated by the idea of making money for shareholders: 'Nobody cares' 6 months ago:
To be fair, there isn’t really anything in the title to imply that. It’s just what people are primed to infer.

The 4th season is all about this question. - Comment on A manufacturer tried the 4-day workweek for 5 days' pay and won't go back 7 months ago:
I work 12hour shifts. 3 days a week. I’m telling you, that’s way better. Sure the shifts are long. You won’t do anything else thise days. But you gets used to it in a month or two. Once you do adjust, having 4 day weekends each and every week is life changing. I could never go back.

- Comment on Historic change for tipped workers: Subminimum wage to end in Chicago restaurants, bars 8 months ago:
Currently the subminimum wage in Chicago ranges from $9 to $9.48 an hour plus tips.
Restaurant servers and other tipped workers are paid a “subminimum wage” which acts as a base pay and is bolstered by tips.
Chicago does tips on top of the wage. That hasn’t changed. So that might mean eliminating tips to some patrons.

- Comment on Why The Government Has Infinite Money 8 months ago:
Okay. My last try.
That’s a way of saying there is no specific value that is the end. The “Limit” is endless.
If we created a currency with 10^100 units. There would me more units than the atoms in a billion universes. And it would still be infinitely far from infinity.
So if the currency’s unit value is inversely proportional its proximity to infinity, the value of every unit of currency we could ever make is infinite. Even if we made 10^100 of them.
- Comment on Why The Government Has Infinite Money 9 months ago:
A limit isn’t infinity though. Infinity has no limit. Its the oposite of a limit.
However high you may count, there is still infinitely more you could count. And an infinite number of fractions between each and every number you counted. And all of that is included in infinity.
- Comment on Why The Government Has Infinite Money 9 months ago:
That’s not how infinity works. It’s not a number you can ever reach. It’s not a number at all really. It’s more a set of all numbers.
The value of the currency will never approach zero.
- Comment on Original ‘Daredevil’ Showrunner Calls Out ‘Disney Scam’ of Naming New Series ‘Daredevil: Born Again’: It ‘Resets Contract Terms Back to First Season’ 9 months ago:
It’s going to be some kind of a soft reboot. It won’t be the same show. It’s not even going to have Karen and Foggy.
I don’t know if it’ll be good, or not. I just know, it won’t be a 4th season of The Daredevil we know.
