The abstract: “ It is proposed that happiness be classified as a psychiatric disorder and be included in future editions of the major diagnostic manuals under the new name: major affective disorder, pleasant type. In a review of the relevant literature it is shown that happiness is statistically abnormal, consists of a discrete cluster of symptoms, is associated with a range of cognitive abnormalities, and probably reflects the abnormal functioning of the central nervous system. One possible objection to this proposal remains--that happiness is not negatively valued. However, this objection is dismissed as scientifically irrelevant.”

The Search Engine wikipedia article [1] has a section on Russia and East Asia market share, which confirms that the roll up used for world wide counts is off, unless the number of people using the Internet is drastically different in some of the countries.

Russia

  * Yandex: 70.7%
  * Google: 23.3%

  * Baidu: 59.3%
  * Other domestic engines: "smaller shares"
  * Bing: 13.6%

  * Naver: 59.8%
  * Google: 35.4%

It may be impracticable to share the crawled data, but from the stand point of content providers, having a single entity collecting the information (rather than a bunch of people doing) would seem to be better for everyone. Likely need to have some form of robots.txt which would allow the content provider to indicate how their content could be used (i.e research, web search, AI, etc.).

The people accessing the crawled data would end up paying (reasonable) fees to access the level of data they want, and some portion of that fee would go to the content provider (30% to the crawler and 70% to the crawler? :P maybe).

Maybe even go so far as to allow the Paywalled content providers to set a price on accessing their data for the different purposes. Should they be allowed to pick and choose who within those types should be allowed (or have it be based on violations of the terms of access)

It seems in part the content providers have the following complaints:

  * Too many crawlers (see note below re crawlers)
  * Crawlers not being friendly
  * Improper use of the crawled data
  * Not getting compensated for their content

Why can't Microsoft retain Bing traffic when it's the default on stock Windows installs?

  * Do they not have enough crawled data?  
  * Their index isn't very good?
  * Their searching their index isn't good
  * The way they present the data is bad?
  * Google is too entrenched?
  * Combination of the above?

Lucky you. :P

* discussions regarding if the glass is half full or half empty (it is of course, neither; it's full... part with liquid and part with air... unless of course it's in a vacuum.)

* what appears to be the (what appears to be common) tendency to look at / dwell on the negative things.

Vault for Saving in preferences is set to Primary.

If I select a specific vault to view in 1 password, then end up on a website and create a password, 1Password mini has the viewed vault as selected when it asks to save the password, not the vault I've specified as where to save new passwords.

This has been long standing behavior in 1 Password.

Still on 7 because I'm using a mix of vault locations and while I'm using both teams and personal 1password, I have other vaults in other locations.
