Lower is what I meant, it was a typo. And that is not what I'm referring to in my parent comment, which is still valid.

Developed countries offer alternative life goals. This, education and entertainment provide enough reasons not to have a family. Lower birth rate is a good thing in the long term, and getting non-developed countries into developed stage will accomplish that. See Gates' yearly letters.

DDG is the fastest of all the privacy-respecting engines, but it consistently gives me the least accurate results. It works if you search for mainstream keywords, otherwise it mostly doesn't.

For most people it is just search and email. Replacing email is easy, but search is harder since only Google has really accurate and relevant results( besides other giants that also snoop ). The best way to replace search is to use engines that respect privacy and if you need relevant results, those that convey Google's results to you.

We've designed app graph to exclude apps that appear to be especially sensitive, such as ones dealing with your health, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs.

I was alarmed until I read this. It is really nice of them to choose to keep our sensitive private information private. Thanks Twitter!

( Of course I completely trust Twitter to make the right decision on which apps are considered sensitive. )

The quote( not your comment ) is a logical fallacy. Even if was not accepted as hard evidence in the court, it was spoken, and has influenced the jury.

Perhaps a longer version would have more character development, but then backers would say it was boring. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a maximum limit on the number of lines spoken before a special effect or an action scene must be played.
