“So, in a way, it's been ruminating for like 20 years. Like I had wanted to and started writing different versions of this book for a while, but it would literally lapse for like five years. I could get into them if you want. But then what happened was maybe four years ago, Dr. Go started to more take off and we have not really hired a lot of people from outside the company. We've really tried to grow people within the company. And so we have this executive team that was needed to step up and learn more. And I was trying to understand, okay, how do I train our executives? Like, what do they need to do to really actually make good strategic decisions more of the time? Because that's really what executives do. And I got to thinking, okay, what I really think it is, is”

“It would be great. There's a few sites online that I've tried. There's one called ProCon when we're researching for this. Vox does an interesting. They have these explainers, you know? Which is pretty good, but nothing really captures this the way I think it should be. So, to answer your question, I think yes, I think it is possible. Nothing's really hit upon it yet.”

“methodology of that study or whatever it is you know but you're having a much more reasoned debate and if you if you approach a topic you can come in and say okay here's all the different parts of this i can get up to speed on this topic Really easily And that's kind of the idea. Whereas some of these topics now, it's just you don't even know where to start.”

“Would be kind of ideal. That would be like embedded of this software that this gentleman's building, he was calling a context, you know? To really give you context on the argument. And then once you get into a premise, then it's like, okay, well, what are all, then you can have more reason discussion because you can be like, okay, what are all the evidence, pro and con or different aspects of this premise? And then you can cite where the sources come from. And people can comment individually on those sources and say, like, okay, well, the main fact that everyone's behind on this is here and that people can be like, well, I disagree with the.”

“And so, like, in any particular argument, what you really want to do is, or what I try to do at least, is if you really want to have an engaging debate with somebody, Want to start with the premise that suppose that you think you disagree on something, you want to find breakdown the argument into premises and find which one you actually disagree on. With something like climate change, there's like a ton of different underlying premises. And so you have to go down and be like, oh, do we agree on that? Do we agree on that? Do we agree on that? Do we agree on that? That's not generally what happens when you have a public debate. What happens is people throw out their fact and maybe someone else throws their other fact and they're arguing totally different things. And so you can't have a productive debate unless you're arguing on the same premise. And so that's what I was hoping this kind of software or ultimate debate would do. It would help people zoom in and figure out what do you really believe on this topic? Which premises do you believe or not?”

“Yes. Which part of the argument are you in? Like, okay, do you believe it's man-made? Okay, do you believe it exists? If you believe it's man-made, do you believe we can do anything about it? Do you believe there's harm? Do you believe it's intimate harm?”

“I don't know. I don't know exactly what that means because it's just so many people, you know? We were kind of envisioning is part of the problem of bunch metal models in here, but like people effectively just talk past each other and a lot of these kind of debates. And so take something like climate change. There's actually 10 different debates within climate change, probably more. I made a flowchart one time to try to isolate, okay, if you're going to argue about climate change.”

“Moderate, debate. It's really good. And it's totally civil discourse. We actually listen to it with our kids a decent amount. 10 and And yeah, so I think something like that would be good. I've worked on a project with somebody else who's been working for a couple years on this very topic and have been going back and forth with different ways you can kind of do that. I don't think he's really hit the nail on the head yet, but I do think it's possible, to your point.”

“They've done maybe 200 of these. It's a structured debate, podcast. They have a topic. They've had a bunch of social media ones, like is social media good for you or bad for your kind of thing. They have 4 really good experts on.”

“Yeah, yeah. And it was just like, it wasn't constructive debates. It was like ad hominem attacks and things like that. And that just a lot of negativity. And so it's like you're cutting out negativity. I think that's always a good idea. It's kind of like there's another mental, like the closest of the five friends you hang out with kind of thing. You are what you eat in a way. And so if you reduce negativity and replace it with positivity, you're just going to be happier.”

“Yeah, I mean, I think it would be interesting, so I'm not the expert I've done the research. But my guess is twofold. One is there's just an opportunity cost of your time. You were just spending a lot of time wasting time on Facebook. That time is substitute with something else, which is probably better time spent that makes you happier, whether that's talking to other people or reading something, something else that's better. At least that was certainly the case with me. The second is the actual content that you were engaging with is sometimes pretty toxic. And so like there's kind of two effects of that that have been talked about a lot. One is you're seeing this kind of Instagram, other people's awesome life effect. You're seeing other people being seemingly happier than you or something like that. But it's often a kind of a ruse because they're posting like the fake photos or the best things that are coming out of their life. The other is just like, you know, I remember just seeing endless political debates that were very...”

“So I do. I will say that I have it to more mental models, but I really try to go with the thinking gray model of not totally making my mind on anything, but all the research that I've seen and haven't in-depth read all the studies, you know, show that Quitting Facebook has had very positive effects for people. So not only the ear wallet effect, which we talked about earlier, but just people feel less isolated. You know, they feel less lonely and a counterintuitive way when they quit Facebook. And so I”

“No, so I quit Facebook, I want to say like seven years ago, maybe more. It might have been like 2010. And I don't use Instagram. I don't really use my social media except I use Twitter.”

“That's awesome. Yeah, so I mean, those are the things. I think if you want to get more extreme, there are other things like we talked about using Tor or something like that. But in terms of just no sacrifice, very seamless, you know, I would use something like TechDicko, like a tracker blocker, private search, encrypt more encryption, and then tweak your settings.”

“Yeah, you want to separate your kind of data as best you can Independent of all of that, there are a bunch of all these like people sites that you look up your name and you see like Shea and Parish or whatever age, whatever. You can opt out of most of those. There are some services that will do a paid, but there are some lists where you can just go through and just request your removal.”

“Helps you not put all your eggs in one basket. And so for email, there's like ProtonMail. We use something called Fastmail. Proton mail is very private. Fastmail is not just built for privacy. They're just an alternative paid email provider. Know, and so moving your email off of Gmail on something else.”

“Yeah, so DuckTow wise, that's been our goal is to give the one download you need. And so on iOS, Android, Chrome, and Firefox, you can download either browser extension or our browser. And it has all the kind of essentials for search and browse. In addition, we have a blog at spreadrivacy.com that has a device tip section. And so for any major device you have could be laptop, desktop, or phone, there's a set of settings that you should probably change on your iPhone or your laptop that would generally help you. That kind of helps you on the main search browse use the internet side. Then there's like all the other services that you use that kind of aren't search browse like email. And for all these services, they're generally like more private alternatives, sometimes really private, but also just getting off of Google and Facebook.”

“Yeah, exactly. And then even that the subset of the employees who are making lots of money is lower. And that's very different than, say, like a Walmart who employs like a million people or something in the US, you know. And so over time, the rise of online and bigger companies has created some of the wealth inequality, at least that's the theory.”
2019-05-14 · The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish · Gabriel Weinberg: Practical Steps to Safeguard Your Data and Identity Online · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“Yeah, there's a direct tie to inequality there in a couple of respects. The biggest one is that a lot of the newer companies, especially online companies, have a lot less employees than the older line companies. It's taken less, there's just more leverage online because digital has no marginal cost generally. And so it takes less employees to reach the same market cap. And so there's less people benefiting from that.”

“It just ends up being scale. So, like, it's all the same effects. Like, people get bigger, they buy up other companies, there's been a lot of acquisitions, you know. And nothing nefarious necessarily.”

“No, I mean, there are definitely equivalent ways to get noticed, but what you're basically saying is, which I think is generally true, is Our capitalism in general has scale effects in a number of ways, you know, just economies of scale, network effects, et cetera. And that is a feedback loop that makes things bigger, unless there's some disruption that happens. And I think that naturally happens. And there's a good argument to show that that's happened a lot, at least in the US markets, in the past 20 years.”

“But even then, like if we're not here yet because it's not like this case in every country, but you can imagine if you were really into Amazon versus Target or something and we give you a choice, would you rather prefer Target results or Amazon results or Yelp or TripAdvisor results? You had like a favorite Could choose and then be like, okay, see more of that on when you get those type of consumptive answers.”

“Exactly, well, then it's like you can't give a Dropbox of 100 things because you'll just confuse people. And so at some point, you do have to make choices. We've been trying to work with the biggest partners that have the most breadth and best results.”

“So, what we've been trying to do, but we haven't had the luxury because we don't make our own ones all the case, all the time, is try to give people choice. And so when we have map results, for example, people can choose which provider they want to. Do the directions when they go off of Duct2Go onto a direction provider. And so that's the model I think would be good is giving people more choice. But even that has its own problem because there are hundreds of providers. You can't the paradox of choice mental model just like or Hicks law. It's like. Give people a billion choices.”

“There's a big AKIN role, and I think that's been a bunch of the competitive complaints. That's an argument in search right now of like the user experience is arguably better if you give somebody one result, but it's a gatekeeping role.”

“Yeah, definitely mobile. Voice has been slower than I think people predicted, but it's definitely a new thing. Like people aren't searching less on mobile and moving to voice. It's just like other queries. So that's one thing. The second thing is the rise of instant answers and just like more instant, more like not wading through results has just continued and continued. And I imagine that'll keep continuing.”

“So, what's interesting about the history of search is those trends are real, but they've never supplanted earlier search queries. So the rise of mobile search queries has been great in the last 10 years, but desktop search queries actually haven't decreased.”

“Immediately, we don't store it at all. We just use it to bring you back the local restaurants around where you are, and then it's gone. So there's no location history or anything like that.”

“Well, there's some location built into your IP address. So whenever you connect to anything, you're sending your IP address over. And so you can get a rough location based on that. You also have something called the browser location and like sites request. Can you use your location with this app or this site? That'll send a more granular location based on GPS on your phone. And so on duck.co, if it's a very hyperlocal query, we'll ask for that. Would you allow us to use the location? But we promise to...”

“One thing about local, which is interesting, is you can do that without tracking people on duck.go because your location is generally sent over by your browser automatically. And we can also do that contextually and throw away the location after that query.”

“Yeah, they're super relevant. So what ends up happening is you really need to first decide what domain this thing is in and then apply different rules, different relevancy rules. And search rules per that domain and kind of do different things with it.”

“And same thing with the what, like is pizza a category or is that a name of a restaurant? And so on these verticals, you have different indexes and different rules. And so for like Stack Exchange, for example, the stack overflow as another example, which is programming incident answers, that has a lot of special characters that you have to do stuff with. People type in programming like pluses and less than greater than signs and in other contexts you would ignore those. But in the program”

“And so like for that one, once we do those local search, we have to figure out like the what and the where and like pull that out kind of semantically from the query and then do different things with them, like figure out what the location is. And even that gets more complicated because if you like Paris something in Paris, are you talking about Paris, France? Are you talking about Paris, like Indiana, and there's a bunch of Parises in the US? I don't know if I find it in India.”

“Structured would be is like here is the person's name and their age and everything like that. Wikipedia is edited by anybody and it's got all these different rules, but it's basically just a lot of text with some markup on it. And so if you index it, you have to like figure out all the different edge cases for all the different markups. Somehow extract your name and age and all that stuff.”

“So we have a bunch of these we actually have to do ourselves, but we also work with all these other partners and then try to, on any given search, figure out, is this a local search? Is this a programming search? What kind of search is this? And then give you results back. And then we have to make decisions of like how newsy is this search? Like where should we display news results? Should it be? The beginning, should it be in the fourth result, that kind of thing.”

“We currently don't work with Google at the moment, but there's still Yahoo, Microsoft. We work with Google on YouTube because it's the only place where the videos are. So, video search is another big one. We work with Yelp and TripAdvisor, and there's literally like 400 different partners because it goes into all the different long tail stuff. Some of the stuff we still have to build ourselves. So we still use Wikipedia and build it ourselves, Stack Overflow, that kind of stuff. We build our index of that.”

“To maintain it, arguably maybe a billion, and most of the indexes went away. And so what we've decided to do, also the individual verticals have gotten more expensive. So like Yelp is the best in class for restaurants and you have maps. There's only a couple maps providers. So what we've decided to do instead is maintain privacy at all costs, but try to work with the best partners and all these different verticals. And so then our basic technology, therefore, is getting a query trying to figure out what is the best instant answer provider and who are all the providers we need to work with to get to deliver you the set of results. And in any given search, it might be two or three different providers to get the website.”

“No one was doing that when we started. So what I originally figured out was I'll just try to not spend all my time on the web index and focus on incidents and answers. And so the first thing that I focused on was indexing Wikipedia and getting really good knowledge graph answers. Over time, so the other ended thing I ended up doing, this was way back in 2007, there was a lot of spam in web search back then. There was like all sorts of content forms and things like that. So we did crawl the web and looking for spam results and then remove them from the index. It was like a negative index. In any case, what's basically happened is we're a small organization still, we're like 65 people. And now it's gotten so much more expensive to crawl the web and make that deep index. It's probably hundreds of millions a year. Maybe to make”

“Yeah, right. Crawling the whole internet, basically. And I realized a few things. One is there were a bunch of companies who raised a bunch of money all trying to do that, basically compete with Google at their core game and realize it's somewhat unnecessary because there were a few different web indexes at the time that existed. And they had reached diminishing returns in quality. And so you could get good web index results from Google, from Bing, which wasn't Bing at the time. It was MSN. You get it from Yahoo, Endexes at the time. Ask Jesus was still crawling. There were a bunch of ones. And I realized that”

“Interesting. I'm interested in general public policy of all kinds. So talk about the mental models book. I'm interested in like everything and have this degree in general public policy and technology policy. I started this company and kind of backed in to search privacy in particular. I had sold my other company and was trying to find something that I really wanted to do. And I got really interested in search in general and eventually started this search engine that wasn't initially private. I hadn't thought about it. It was more just trying to make better results. And then I got some initial messages after launching about like, well, what's your policy on search privacy and stuff? And so I myself, out of just interest, took more of a deep dive on it and decided, oh, wow, this is really personal data. Arguably the most personal, like what you search, you kind of...”
