Killed by Google VS duckduckgo-locales

Google has a reputation for killing off applications at will, and it's no suprise it would do the same for hardware.

Yeah, something similar to "Killed by Google". Maybe we need a template on Github for such sites to catalog bullshit, lord knows there's a lot of categories of bullshit we can catalog...

Oh actually they do have their source available: https://github.com/codyogden/killedbygoogle

Google kills another thing? Shocking! https://killedbygoogle.com/

I didn’t even know YouTube had stories, still add this to the Google Graveyard.

Google has a lot of talent but it also has a history of misusing it's talent and abandoning projects that are halfway implemented. There is an entire website, Killed By Google which highlights 285 projects, tools, apps, and services Google has abandoned.

Google? Our lead innovator got so caught up in their own ass that they literally develop and expand nothing. Focus on new projects means they never have anything stable and anyone who uses their apps must remember that those can be killed at any moment. Their main product is advertisements now.

It's certainly not hardware, they haven't innovated on phones in years. Their AI offering is a joke. They bin every interesting service ever, to the point where there is a meme website listing the google graveyard. Services that they haven't killed are getting worse, noticeably YouTube, and their cash cow, Search, is fucking awful and getting more unusable by the day. They're slashing and burning their userbase for quick and easy ad revenue instead of sowing the long term fields here.

I hear this a lot but Reddit obviously fills a niche in online space. Hell half my google searches these days have Reddit appended to them.

Ok, stealing is wrong. But you're taking a narrow view of theft. Amazon is "stealing" from the entire planet in the form of labor and resource exploitation. Stealing merchandise from Amazon an be seen as a form of self defense.

You don't think Amazon is doing anything unethical? Why, because everything it's doing is legal? Laws are not 1:1 with morals or ethics, that's why they change. But uh, I also feel the need to point out that Amazon does not operate according to the law any more than it can get away with[1]. So if breaking the law to steal value from thousands of employees/customers is ok, but breaking the law to steal one copy of a game is not... that's not a system of morality I want to live in.

This reminds me of the guys in the warez/music scenes back in the day. One well documented example was Dell Glover. Interesting reads. Kind of a halfway point between the motives in the story.

My personal recommendation would be to cover functional programming from the ground up. I consider the benefits of learning this as enormous for me.

> In general i would ask the pro's, e.g.: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Mathematics+Reading+List+Cambridge

This isn't good advice because the linked pages are mostly the reading list for BEFORE you attend and the reading list per class is not found like this, so I suspect the poster hasn't actually followed their own advice in this instance.

On the other hand you can go directly to video lectures a MIT open courseware, and others, and most recently a great resource for pure mathematics is:

wherein the courses are split by the old term names/tripos:

This seems incredible to me. The raw results are obviously very close. I get the same results in the same order for searching 'uefi hack':
