Ask Jeeves was a “question answering service” back then. They had a staff of human editors who curated answers to popular questions. Nothing they answered back then was done via search.
Source: I worked for a search engine startup in the 90’s that was acquired by Ask Jeeves when they realized they needed a true search technology since human editing wasn’t scalable.
Ask Jeeves was doing this before Google existed…
Reminds me of The Password Game…
Warning: you have been warned!
If you’re in the Boston area or nearby suburbs the all the sewage goes to the Deer Island treatment plant which eventually pumps the treated water out into the Atlantic…
My understanding is that the lava house became an attraction more than a personal home. Folks would hike in there to stay a few days, B&B style, to get married there, etc.
They did that in Hawaii decades ago when Kīlauea covered Chain of Craters road and others.
Kīlauea said “Fuck that” and covered the roads again and again, along with entire neighborhoods. The Hawaiians just let it all go back to nature now. You can drive roughly 10 miles of Chain of Craters Road now, which is in Volcanoes National Park, until it ends very much like the road in this picture.
Speaking of Kīlauea, you might be interested in reading about Jacks Lava House which survived for years as the entire neighborhood around it was reclaimed by the volcano. It was eventually reclaimed by Kīlauea as well about a decade ago.
Dude sitting on the left also has six fingers. And all the hats are gibberish.
I’m just curious, but what type of content would you be watching on YouTube?
I literally use it almost exclusively for how-to styles of videos. I had to replace the throttle cable on my riding lawnmower last year. I found an awesome step-by-step video. Stuff like that…
The Post Office in the town I used to live in, only 10 miles or so from downtown Boston, still has its fallout shelter sign on it.
These people should read up on well known bunkers like Project Greek Island at The Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia. A secret bunker was built at the resort during an otherwise routine renovation in the 1950s as a shelter for Congress. It was decommissioned in 1992 after The Washington Post revealed its existence.
I’d mail my younger self a list of dates when I should invest in various stocks, and when to sell.
I thought people didn’t want trailers that gave away entire movie plots…
Just support contactless payments. Then people can just tap their phone, Apple Watch, credit card, etc.
This sounds to me like a solution looking for a problem…
That’s an optional software upgrade. It’ll cost you $12.95 a month.
Tesla has both a gigafactory and a Supercharger factory in mainland China. Any semi-competent CEO would recognize that publicly advocating for tariffs on China would have a good chance of backfiring. China could easily turn around and slap 100% tariffs on everything coming out of those two factories in retaliation.
She’d just argue that it’s “art” probably…
My last breakdown was when all the transmission fluid in my car drained out because the mechanic that did my tuneup didn’t replace the drain plug properly. What tools should I carry in my car to do a complete transmission replacement while on the side of the highway?
That truly depends on how secure Ecobee made it… I’ve seen some smart devices that use SSL (https) for all communication and do some sort of certificate authentication, making it virtually impossible to decrypt its communication protocol without a valid private key…
Having said that, it’d be nice if Ecobee took the initiative and opened up these older devices, if they could do so without comprising the security of all their others.
My wife and I plan 6-12 month out, and sometimes more. At least for the dates of our vacations. My wife runs a small dog boarding service out of our home, and limits the number of dogs she boards. As a result she has clients that will schedule boarding up to a year in advance. So we need to block out our vacation time early enough to prevent clients from making reservations at those times.
At some point after we block out the time we’ll figure out where we want to go.
