Sure, it is kind of true for any service. But the resources needed to scrape and index the entire web are so enormous that, AFAIK, only 2* companies are doing it. Every other search engine goes through them. Kagi only indexes the “small web”. It’s such a large difference in degree that it becomes a difference in kind.
*There was something about Qwant and Ecosia building a third. Haven’t read up recently.
A search service is different from the Linux kernel or a web server though. You can release the perfect open source search engine, but running it will be expensive. If we, as users, aren’t paying for it, then someone is going to have to extract value from us to pay for it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I also have an opportunity to study abroad in Iceland. Is that also a good choice?
4·4 days agoThe industry thing is sad though. They’re kind of economically deadlocked
I have no idea where you’re getting this from. Iceland is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Per capita, obviously.
And I think you’re getting your bubbles mixed up.

3·4 days agoIf I had one of these, I imagine I would be really frustrated to be going slower than I could cycling, so I’d probably disable the limiter myself, too
If this is anything like in Europe, then the limit is where the assistance stops. You’re still free to pedal as fast as you like

9·4 days agoElectric mopeds exist, depending on where you are on they’re great. But we want there also to be slower ebikes that don’t need all that licensing and which can be used in bike lanes.

5·4 days agoThat said, with GPS and traffic sign recognition, we can now use dynamic limiters to adjust to match the speed limit imposed where the vehicle is currently driving.
In theory. In practice the car picks up signs from the slip road or GPS location for the parallel local road or doesn’t know what the “in caso di nebbia” text under the 50km/h sign on the motorway means.

You’ll have much less variability in the length of the day though. If you transported Estonia to North America, it would extend from the northern border of British Columbia and about a quarter of the way down to Vancouver. The shortest day is 5h36m in Tallin vs 9h17m in Redding, for a northern CA town. That sun will also be much lower in the sky in Tallin.

politics @lemmy.world•Dems with anti-trans views are on the ballot. What should pro-trans voters do with them?
4·9 days agoYou can replace any number of subjects for trans and the argument always holds. It’s a shitty situation but it’s an unavoidable consequence of first-past-the-post voting.

Opensource@programming.dev•I rewrote the "tldr" in C, it's 20 times faster.

Well, it’s neither. This is not about to be used in the tower per other comments.

The Autogrills are absolutely great for a motorway stop but you’re over selling them just a tad. After all, you’re now comparing them to restaurants in the Italian cities at either end too.
Anyway, we’ve got 150+ kW chargers at most stops now, at least in the north. And signage for stops indicates if there are chargers. An espresso and toilet break is usually enough to keep going.
