Looks like they are using Bing / Microsoft for their search


They list their data sources here: https://hilfe.nona.de/features/datenquellen

Bing for Web+Image (and I assume News+Video) Search, ListenNotes for Podcast, OpenWeatherMap for their Instant Answer weather results, etc.

I like their UI, and as far as I can tell then their icons are custom made, at least I can't find them anywhere.


Seems like most new search engines are “bing + some other sources.” Just wondering, does Bing charge for this use?

Personally, in the past month I’ve noticed a significant degradation of results from DDG, and since I don’t know what’s going on I just blame Bing. Because of that, each time we have posts about alternative engines I first check to see if they’re not using Bing. But they all are!


Yes, Bing charges for use of their API. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/apis/pricing


Regardless, they return far better search results for queries in German than Google does. For example, if you look for something about a changing legislation in the Bundestag, they will have articles published in the past 30 minutes, where as Google won't surface the same articles for a few weeks.


Yes and a few other data sources for weather, stocks and so on (https://hilfe.nona.de/features/datenquellen). And it's made with Symfony (https://hilfe.nona.de/ueber-nona/technik-tools).

If you haven't tried DeepL, its like Google Translate, but a lot better.

Things I always wanted to know:

> If you eat beans and fart a lot, do you ever get rid of the smell?


"In addition to exhaled CO2, people also emit small amounts of other gases. [...] Activated charcoal filters are the primary method for removing these chemicals from the air."

From an article about managing air on the ISS: https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2000/a...


that is good question, why down vote it ?


I didn't downvote, but maybe because it is an insipid and disgusting question?

FWIIW in high altitude aviation where digestive gas could cause debilitating pain or even life threatening injury, the solution is to eat food that doesn't make you fart; usually steak and eggs. I'm sure the astronaut nutritionist types have this issue under control. People forget how many zillions of dollars went into the early space program to figure stuff like this out.


Even though it is a disgusting issue, it is a real issue, pretty much on topic.

And despite zillions of dollars wenting into it, if it would be just the smell, I believe it is possible someone just would have said, deal with it, there are bigger concerns in space, like keeping people alive.

(but charcoal filters work, like someone else pointed out)

And since you cannot really shower in space, I doubt the smell is the nicest up there.


> it is an insipid and disgusting question

A little gross, yes, but definitely not insipid. And yes, we assume that there's some solution (or that it's not a problem) somehow, but it's reasonable to be curious what the solution is.


Overview of the most notable new features (in my opinion):

- Improved Memory Management and Configuration

- Reworked job submission (allowing things like Zeppelin or other interactive notebooks)

- Native Kubernetes integration (there's now multiple ways to submit Flink to K8s)

- Hive integration: Use your Hive tables, UDFs etc. in Flink SQL

- Full TPC-DS coverage for batch: this basically means Flink supports a lot of SQL syntax

- PyFlink supports user defined functions (based on Apache Beam's portability framework). This makes Flink's Python support really strong

... there are many more features in the announcement (1200 tickets were resolved)


For some reason, Google also marks "Google Alerts" notifications as spam. They contain spammy search results, but the email comes from Google. At least they are consequent in not white-listing their own services :)


Gmail also marks messages from gmail or other google services as spam. Gmail also marks all legitimate mails from Paypal as spam (phishing). I use several email addresses and google accounts, but in the end I forward most mails into the same gmail box. Their spam filters cannot handle the concept of forwarded mail correctly.


And down goes the GDP and tax income for the society


Doubt it. This program only started 3-4 years ago.


I dont't think there's an easy way to push incremental backups into Sia


What's actually going on with CrashPlan? Why are they shutting down their Home offering?
