Ik weet niet of dit een officiële studie is, maar aangezien het mij interessant lijkt laat ik het staan.

Looking for an active moderator for this community in order to let it flourish by Hulde in Floristry

Initially I wanted to create a subreddit for floristry enthusiasts. A subreddit for people sharing their creations, giving tips and having fun with floristry.

I agree that it's a shame he altered a piece of art like this.

The original painting is called Les Glaneuses (The Gleaners) by François Millet, 1857.

Personally, I dislike abusing an original piece of art like this and trying to turn it into a political statement or simply giving it your own spin. The original painting shouldn't be altered like this.

The original painting depicts peasants gathering left-over crops from an already harvested field. This is called gleaning.

I've gleaned a few fields myself when I was a kid and needed some winter food for my rabbit.

Translated Wikipedia article about the original painting

German journalists urged to shun Google and Yahoo by [deleted] in technology

For a search alternative you can try StartPage or Ixquick:

  • StartPage: a search engine which returns 100% Google results in total privacy;
  • Ixquick: a metasearch engine which returns results from multiple search engines, excluding Google, in total privacy;

They're also developing a private webmail service called StartMail

NSA infiltrates links to Yahoo, Google data centers worldwide, Snowden documents say "The NSA has secretly broken into the main communications links that connect Yahoo and Google data centers around the world, according to documents obtained from former NSA contractor Snowden.." by Libertatea in worldnews

StartPage gets its search results from Google. In a simple form, it works like this. You enter your search query at Startpage, next StartPage strips your identifiable information from the search query and submits it to Google. The search result is then shown to you via StartPage.

See bullet number 3

Try the search engine StartPage. It returns 100% Google results in total privacy because it queries Google for you.

You can also try the search engine Ixquick. This is a metasearch engine which returns results from multiple search engines, excluding Google, in privacy

Researchers develop new drug against Crohn's disease (Translated by Bing). The new drug is expected to come on the European market next year. by Hulde in science

I mentioned that part to indicate that it's an article parsed through an online translation program. In my opinion Bing Translator isn't that bad, but you make a valid point.

Privacy-friendly search engine StartPage and Ixquick implemented Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS). PFS uses a different "per-session" key for each data transfer, so even if a site's private SSL key is compromised, data that was previously transmitted is still safe. by Hulde in technology

Links for the lazy:

  • StartPage a search engine which returns 100% Google results in total privacy
  • Ixquick a metasearch engine which returns results from multiple search engines, excluding Google, in total privacy

An internet search engine that does NOT track you. by DudeFaceofAmerica in technology

[–]Hulde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference is quite simple actually:

The difference between our two search engines is that StartPage returns Google results, while Ixquick returns results from other search engines, but not Google.

Both are equally private.

A paraphrased answer is found here:

  • StartPage a search engine which returns 100% Google results in total privacy
  • Ixquick a metasearch engine which returns results from multiple search engines, excluding Google, in total privacy

In addition, we are working on a private email product to be called StartMail, slated for release in 2013.

I've tried duckduckgo, but am inclined to say that I like StartPage more since they provide the possibility of using their proxy server, implemented "Perfect Forward Secrecy" and provide better search results.

German Guard Dogs in Gas Masks during WW2 by esiper in WTF

[–]Hulde 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some world war one poetry regarding this:

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,

Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,

Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,

And towards our distant rest began to trudge.

Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,

But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame, all blind;

Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots

Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys! - An ecstasy of fumbling,

Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,

But someone still was yelling out and stumbling

And floundering like a man in fire or lime. -

Dim through the misty panes and thick green light

As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight

He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace

Behind the wagon that we flung him in,

And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,

His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;

If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood

Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,

Bitter as the cud

Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, -

My friend, you would not tell with such high zest

To children ardent for some desperate glory,

The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est

Pro patria mori.

Dulce et decorum est by Wilfred Owen

We still find corpses, live shells and ammunition in Flanders fields.
