> But the most important feature is that DuckDuckGo is the search engine that doesn't track you.

Any evidence to suggest that most people care? Most people just want the best search results, quickly.

Or is this a conscious decision to keep DDG serving a 'niche'.

> and so at DuckDuckGo you are not the product, search is.

Is DuckDuckGo a paid for product then? Users pay to search do they? If it's ad (Or VC) supported, then the user very much IS the product.

The bigger problem is that Google use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Instead of removing the videos, Google will shut down your whole google account - emails, google drive, docs, all gone - They'll do it without telling you, without recourse, no appeal, nothing. No chance of contacting a real person to discuss it.

It's so odd that the left who are so up in arms about 'fascism', white supremacists, trump etc, are the very people being violent, suppressing free speech, and behaving like fascists. It's especially a shame to see it so prevalent in Hollywood and Silicon Valley which should be bastions of freedom and expression.

It's funny you mention this: anyone who supported "not Her" during the election was silenced and ridiculed at every turn.

Cutting lego bricks? Eugh. There's specific bricks that would have worked exactly.

Don't worry, I discussed this with the folks at LEGO already and we're good: http://imgur.com/dOkyl4S

But yeah, after this post some nice folks showed me how a <2mm wall can be achieved without slaughtering bricks (special wall pieces, mounted sideways to allow for the left side of the display's board to disappear in in the Mac's frame).

What bricks are those? I don't really see how you would build that wall. It looks like it needs to be thinner than 1 unit.

Also can the floppy slot be used for the microSD card?

This brick:

I think there others too

Um. Did you mean to post a link? All I see is garbled text.

Rule #1: don't cut LEGO

Yeah, it... Kind of misses the entire point of LEGO lol.

and catastrophe*. Not OP but I just have to

I very much prefer 'catastrophy' - it's well-earned failure.

I (o _ o) when I saw the picture. GorE.

Definitely an illegal connection...

Not to pour water on things, but after 8 years or so I'm not sure it's growing that well...

After 6 years, Google was doing 200m searches a day.

Google now does something like 4 billion a day. So duckduckgo, after 8 years of growth, has captured about 0.3% of the search market. At that sort of rate, it'll take decades to get any meaningful share, and that's assuming Google stand still, which they won't.

That's assuming you have to own the market. You don't, you just need more income than outcome. It would appear DDG is achieving that. Good for them I say.

That's not a bad share of the market. Their strategy is fairly smart/standard chasm crossing. Capture programmers/tech oriented users first. As long as they have solid growth in that department I wouldn't worry.

But Google also more or less owns the market now. Back then it was anyone's game (and internet usage in tdeveloped countries was growing rapidly, making the market a bit more volatile).
