I find DDG results to be lower quality than Kagi, have never liked Bing's index. I also frequently use the personalized site rankings feature in Kagi to strip out known junky sites
Article highlights a looming issue in the US, but why open the article with an example of a high income earner living alone who is spending beyond her needs? Makes you wonder if the author has some kind of bias...
Whats the right metric to consider credit card debt bad, or degrees of badness? When looking at nations, we look at debt compared to GDP. So for individuals, it would be debt compared to income? So someone who makes 20k and has a 10k credit card debt, is in the same bucket at someone making 200k with 100k in credit card debt. But, the 100k in debt person is in more trouble than someone who makes 500k and has 200k in debt.
Possibly. Though these days, I wouldn't be surprised if the WSJ was A/B testing versions with different opening examples, while showing 99% of their audience the current "max. clickiness" one.
Occam's razor: They wanted an short debt-scenario that reads as somehow unexpected and unusual so that visitors keep reading, versus a true but depressingly-common one.
I mean, I just have to say something like "single-parent slipping further behind each month"... and I bet most of y'all are already familiar enough with the concept that you're imagining it without prompting.
Neat! One frustrating bug in the app is the forced ability to search states by two letter abbreviation. For example, if you start typing "Montana", your typing will be cut off, and Missouri will be selected, as the abbreviation for Missouri is MO.
Custom points would be great too, sometimes the search feature built in couldn't find the locations I was looking for.
Custom points was something we considered but hadn't implemented yet. That'll be coming in a future update so keep an eye out! We had a similar issue with the search bar when we were using our custom search key api. Made the switch to Apple's search and that issue got resolved (at least on our end). Thank you for pointing that out as well, we'll start looking into it. Appreciate all your input!
I've been told my old stomping ground (Houston) is extremely competitive. I've not eaten Vietnamese outside of Texas, so I can't really compare. It was shocking to me, when I moved to Portland, OR, to not have easy access to pho, banh mi, and vermicelli dishes. They kinda make up for it with poke bowls?
preface: not of VN extraction, I just like the food.
Houston has excellent Vietnamese cuisine. I guess it's Southern Vietnamese style? (can't help but notice the ARVN veterans memorial on Bellaire Blvd.).
In the East, Falls Church in VA has excellent food. But I think the best would have to be Louisiana. No name places with a shrimp boat out back, on the coast, east of New Orleans. I'm told a lot of Vietnamese refugees were resettled there and went into the fishing industry, southern Louisiana and the Mississippi river delta being somewhat similar to Vietnam.
There are so many Vietnamese restaurants in San Jose it's really more similar to the Hanoi recommendation: you just have to experiment until you find the ones that resonate with your personal tastes. I recommend searching reddit for "best pho in San Jose" -- you'll find a number of threads, many of which feature similar sets of restaurants.
Funny how Anthropic's press team has been working overtime to ensure the public they're the AI on the right side of history, yet that's anything further than the truth...
When you choose to serve the American military, knowing both its history and the fact that it's been facilitating at least one genocide over the past few years, you can't just claim "we didn't want anything bad to happen".
