• Google has been lying about their search results [video]

  SEO "experts" and scammers are salty. Define a metric and people will game it, how will bots and promoted content be filtered out now? A new set of problems.

• The EU regulates that by 2027, all phones be equipped with replaceable batteries

  The submission title has almost nothing to do with the meat of the announcement.

• The Bleak Genius of Michel Foucault

  If you're looking for an intellectual critique of Foucault, one of the best is Jean Baudrillard's book Forget Foucault from 1977. Baudrillard both admired the depth of Foucault's historically informed philosophical analysis but questioned its objectivity especially given Foucault had little to say about how power evolved with mass media & technology - and was in a sense always fighting the last war: > "If Foucault... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Did people really use "burner phones"?

  I'm also curious because it seems like using a phone with no strings attached today seems almost impossible unless you get an actually old phone, which either works poorly or costs a lot as part of a retro collection or something.

• I'm back and the chair has never been stronger.

  You can also take this poll over at bettor edge, and whichever team gets the most votes, will get an extra 5k donated to their respective charity (the loser will still get a 1k donation). So if you are so inclined, head over there and vote for the huskers and Team Jack. Right now we're losing 65% to 35% to the gophers on who should get the extra donation so vote if you can! Note they ask for a phone number to... Source: 11 months ago

• Why is Whatsapp so popular in India?

  To be very frank, I was also thinking that another reason people tend to use Whatsapp is that it’s not really tied to any actual account as in the case of iCloud, right? It’s just a phone number that’s required, and so if you want to stay private, or just log in with a fake account, you can use a free phone number for verification, just as you would do with some disposable temporary mail when you want to log in to...

• Has anyone used temporary phone numbers for app registration worth it?

  While searching for another way out, I stumbled upon a service called quackr.io. It claims to provide temporary phone numbers for registration confirmation purposes. Using fake numbers for app verification is quite tempting, and I read that it's a savior when it comes to website registration. Still, I'm unsure if it's worth the effort because I also read many claiming that temporary phone numbers don't work with... Source: 12 months ago
