Who is Facebook's mysterious βLan Tim 2β? β This is an example of how much data Facebook collects about users. Almost all sites online embed the βfacebook pixelβ into their site, this combined with advertisers manually uploading CSV of your contact information, covers a lot of your activities (both offline and online). Luckily, they have this tool to see what data they have on you.
DuckDuckGo is good enough for regular use β I started using DDG in place of Google about 6 months back and I am impressed. The results are getting better over time. But when I am searching something really specific and canβt find it, I just use their Bangs feature to use google search. Google results are full of ads that are almost indistinguishable from their results. In contrast DuckDuckGoβs results page is pretty minimal and it doesnβt track you.
This indie game called Hidden in Plain Sight. Itβs a fun local multiplayer game. The aim is to blend into the crowd of AI characters and eliminate the other players before they eliminate you!
I originally had this on Xbox360 but it was just released on Nintendo Switch.

STARTUPS ETC
Why to Start a Startup in a Bad Economy β A good essay by PG from the last crash, still very relevant considering the current market.

Debuggex: A visual regex debugger β And if you; like me, donβt know much regex then this site is cool to learn it.
