I was searching for the best computer monitor in 2022 and a guy in a werewolf mask cut me off in traffic. He's a bad driver, I decided. EDIT: A few people have replied to my comment, so I'll clarify. Yes, I was using Google to search while driving. I figured it would be harder for Google to track my location if I'm always driving over the speed limit. I did scoff at the guy. When I realized he looked like a werewolf, I assumed he must be from London. It gave me closure and allowed me to look down on him because he was not from the same geographical location as me.

I remember being in school for marketing around 2004, and in one class we discussed how an up-and-coming search engine called Google just might give the industry giant Yahoo a run for its money. People really liked how simple and streamlined Google was, whereas Yahoo was getting cluttered with ads and irrelevant search results.

Had to be earlier than 2004. The Google engine had over 60 million pages catalogued in 1999 while in their Palo Alto (Altavista) offices. By 2004 they had the beginnings of the Adsense system churning out money. They'd already bought up Blogger. And Yahoo! officially split up with them. Any marketing program only just then getting on the Google train was half a decade behind.

@Huntracony

2 жыл бұрын

@@OphionTheTitan Yeah, that's interesting. Thing is, Google does index pretty much the entire internet, and half a billion results sounds reasonable. Here's my educated guess for roughly what Google does and where those numbers come from (based on one university course about search engines): - Google already has pre-made lists for pages that contain the words 'potato' and 'chips' or synonyms thereof (though in this case it might only be one list for 'potato chips') - The intersection of those lists (the amount of pages in both lists) is the half a billion number - Google then ranks every one of those pages based on the search query - While ranking, it only keeps track of the number of pages it needs (10 for the first results page, 20 for the second, etc.) - Afterwards it sorts the results and shows them to you This all only takes a little more than half a second on the first results page. You know this is true because, with good internet, Google doesn't take multiple seconds to load. On the 25th results page, however, it has to keep track of a lot more pages and sort a lot more, which is why it takes longer (it also just takes longer to load). Beyond that, Google just refuses. It takes them too long and you probably weren't actually interested in the results at that point anyway. So the numbers come from somewhere, and it's still impressive, but they indeed haven't assembled and ordered all half a billion results for you in less than half a second, because you don't actually need half a billion results.

A "fun" way to pass the time while dealing with insomnia circa 2004 was after everyone else fell asleep to go on Yahoo Answers and google the answers to people's questions and rack up internet points. Song lyrics were an especially easy to rack up points if people knew even one full line. Now whenever I have a song in my head but can't think of what it is, even using quotes the search results are just whatever song is the most popular/record company pays them the most that has lyrics sort of similar to what I'm searching for 100 times in a row. "Showing results instead for", no bitch algorithm, I used quotes for a reason.

@@ZacharyShade Exactly! Instead of finding those words, in that order, on a website, it keeps trying to decode the lyrics into something. I searched for song lyrics, put them in with perfect punctuation and never get results. Yet whenever I finally find the song and search its name: right there in the description will be the lyrics exactly as I typed them. Get your shit together Google, you were better than this.

You can still search this way, but they hid the option a bit. To do a search where "all the words in quotation marks MUST be in results" you do the search as normal, then when the results pop up click Tools on the far right and instead of All results select Verbatim.

Love this! Spot-on.

The trick is, for tech, to know what features you want and using pc parts picker and other information sources to narrow down the choices to what you need/want in the price range your comfortable with. Having direct knowledge of why some things might be better then others for what you need helps a lot.

I love how the deals monitor sale encourages you to buy “laptops and monitors that might not fall apart.” I recently discovered that Ryan modifies images and it makes things so much better.

Was recently looking for reviews on a GPU, found 3 vids using Google, 2 of them said "good GPU, you can use it, definitely good bang for your buck" and the last said "this specific GPU is shit, here are some benchmarks to prove it" and lo and behold it was a previous revision of the exact GPU I wanted. Good thing that KZread removed likes and dislikes so that I couldn't see that that third video had 400 likes to 1500 dislikes and the comments on it brought up some good points about how the benchmarks were not done properly otherwise I'd have bought that GPU... On an unrelated note, I recommend the "Return KZread dislikes" extension to fix greedy and dumb corporate decisions made by out of touch executives.

The trick is to critically analyze posts. One line posts can be ignored, in depth ones are likely more trustworthy. A high end user calling something garbage might mean it's adequate for a budget user, one negative review among hundreds of positive ones is probably a fluke, if two users are arguing over which is best both are probably fine, etc. Of course, to keep things complicated, the exact same product from one year might not be the same quality as the exact same product from another year. Also factor in country of origin, varying manufacturers, quality of subcomponents in given years.... ...At the end of the day, nothing beats a low budget youtuber showing a product on camera. Especially a highly opinionated one that cares more about criticizing brands than marketing them.

One with a reputation for unbiased reviews, and the other an Ad site, making the Ad placement extra helpful and relevant. 4) Not an ad in sight on the Rtings webpage, and only a banner and side scroll for relevant products on PCMag.

This is even funnier to watch because my wife used to work as an editor for a company that specializes in search-engine optimization. The entire company revolved around helping small business write their articles and advertisements in a way to appear higher on google's search results. It is a very profitable enterprise. She learned a lot of interesting miscellaneous stuff while editing said articles. It has kind of reached a point where a lot of companies live or die depending on how soon they appear on a search engine.
