Can you explain to me what I am looking at here? (curl -o 1.htm... >2.htm)? And how I can use it to view an AMP page?


It's two separate lines.

The first line uses curl to download the AMP file to 1.htm

The second line use sed to replace some elements in the HTML and writes it out to 2.htm


It saves the page after the filtering that is done in the command and you can open the 2.htm to view the page.


I've seen that message even when google is my default search engine. So I think it might just be something that shows up for everyone. I was using firefox though, perhaps Chrome + Default google will get rid of the message.


That's a fairly normal thing though, generally every operating system ensures there is a browser that can always be used for internal functions. Android has chrome (previously webview I think).


This must be fixed.


Urinals MUST count. Assuming that women's bathrooms have more sit-down toilets than men's, we are biased. It is unfair and sexist to allow female dominated companies more than their fair share of project managers!

Do women's bathrooms have more sit down toilets than men's?


Generally, though less toilets in total because you can cram more urinals into the same space. A common small office toilet space has room for three stalls so in the female room that is what you'll find. In the male variant the space of one of the stalls will instead be given to two individual urinals or a small "urinal wall" that comfortably houses two people or you can get three into if people are desperate. Larger rooms offer greater flexibility, but ultimately urinals take less space than stalls so you get more of them.

Of course that doesn't always mean more people going at the same time as some people don't like urinating so close to someone else so the second spot goes unused, and some of us prefer to sit for a no.1 anyway unless in a rush.


Usually, yes, in the space occupied by urinals in the men's toilets. But you can fit more urinals in that space.


I spoke with a Firefox dev, I was told that due to accessibility settings, multithreading with touchscreens wouldn't come until the current Beta build is released to stable. Technically it should already work on the beta build but it doesn't seem to work for me.


AFAIK, accessibility support, including touchscreens, should be enabled in Firefox Beta 52 now:

In the meantime, you can force Firefox to enable multiprocess, even if you have a touchscreen by creating a new about:config pref "browser.tabs.remote.force-enable" = true.


How is it possible for DuckDuckGo to offer google search results legally? Aren't Bing and Google constantly sniping at each other for implementing each other's results?


It just redirects to a Google page. It doesn't host the results.


It redirects to encrypted.google.com. Here's a good overview of what that means:

Unfortunately the majority of grads are unemployable. India definitely produces high quality engineers but they are limited to a few good schools and occasionally an exceptional student from somewhere else. You only need walk down the street in India to see ads for private engineering colleges run in shacks.

What are Indians going to do when there few good colleges.


There is also a really good book called Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson that has a lot to do with Bletchley Park and WW2 in general. Less informative but more entertaining.


um, you know that book is fiction, right?


It's fiction, but there was a lot of interesting information in there about codes and codebreaking.


"The Code Book" by Simon Singh is the non-fiction book to read if codes and codebreaking interest you.
