Cryptocurrency exchange, first result on Google

Don't forget that Google personalizes your search rankings. Not everyone will see the same results you see.

DuckDuckGo gives me the same thing (I think that avoids personalization right?)

I'm sure they and the rum vendor spend a lot of money on SEO, too, so it'll fluctuate over time. My point was mostly that the snark wasn't helpful and if you wanted to contribute something of value you could have suggested searching for the domain name which is more accurate.

I figured the original comment was snark, since it seems so trivial to answer the question oneself..

It was a joke, like "What's cracking?"

I'd wager that DDG results are skewed towards tech, since it's mostly tech people who use it.

That's interesting because I use DDG by default but I find it terrible for tech searches. I wind up using it for everything except tech stuff.

Google might also personalize his results.

I like it when somebody asked in comments here and there is an answer already, saving me and probably a bunch more people the some seconds of time.

I like it when instead of asking, someone Googles on their own behalf, and then shares the answer because they realize that others may also be curious.

The requests for spoonfeeding are always irritating.

It was a pun on "What's cracking?"

Isn’t there also a git client called kraken?

I was like, why does a git client need access to the vendor server?
