Hovering over a checkmark will display a message that explains “Google’s signals suggest that this business is the business that it says it is,” which is determined by things like

I guess this due diligence cost time and money. And doing this due diligence for every ad customer might affect their bottom line.

Nice Climbing Aloe, bro

Every time a train rumbles to a stop, the energy generated by all that friction is converted to electricity

Friction is how classic braking work, and all the energy that goes into friction is lost. Regenerative braking typically rely on magnets and rotors to slow a train. When a train brake, it uses part of its kinetic energy to spin a rotor, which generate electricity using spinning magnets.

The article is otherwise interesting, it's just unfortunate they got the basic physics wrong.

I guess integration with Google Drive is a big convenience for users.

But yes, if the cost of getting access is to high for indie developers, then it make sense to avoid Google Drive. Creating and maintaining your own cloud sync service for a specific app may not be worth it, they should investigate integration with existing Google Drive competitors/alternatives.

What about winning hearts and minds?

Fighting ennemies while antagonising civilians create new ennemies. I fear that strategy is fueling an endless war, rather than ending a war.

Translation: We're extremely short staffed, so we are shaming our employees into sacrificing their vacation

China’s Ministry of Commerce said Tuesday that PVH Corp. must provide documentation and evidence within 30 days to show it did not engage in discriminatory practices

That's one way of saying they want this US company to provide proof they don't comply with US sanctions.

I don't understand what they're realistically hoping for. Forcing them to pick between operating in the US or operating in China?

At least this is putting a spotlight on the genocide of Uyghurs.

fines of up to €50,000 ($55,580) for supporting “the refusal to have children.”

I'm sure the law is absolutely consistent and grant the right to adopt to gay couples, right? Right?

That sounds promising for anyone with a weak immune system, who is unable to benefit much from vaccines.

This hasn't gone through clinical trial yet, according to this article, so it's going to take more time, money, and luck.

Yes

The electromagnetic force from the atoms' respective electron cloud probably help prevent atom from getting close to each other. And the strong nuclear force also help prevent atom from splitting.

NOYB has the right to send a complaint if it think a company infringe upon right to privacy. Mozilla isn't entitled to special treatment or special notice before filling a complaint.

Mozilla should have expected this. They claim to defend users privacy so they should understand why consent for data collection is important. Also there was public outcry and criticism of opt-out, and yet they haven't backed down.

If Mozilla resolve these issues, NOYB could ask for the complaint to be dropped. I hope they do resolve this, and do drop the complaint.

Why not mandate that 3 meals a week have at least X g of protein and Y g of fiber?

That'd be a better way to ensure healthy meals with proteins without requiring meat.

They're looking for a way to save the live of people in respiratory distress, such as intensive care patient with Covid19 and damaged lungs.

Doctors and biology researchers need to move passed the ick factor sometimes to make progress. Joking about it is a good way to do that.

Link to other sources are welcome.

I searched for sources and picked this article as it's both relatively exhaustive, and one of the firsts ones published on this topic.

China's really being a champion of peace and stability /s

That's a good point. The legal defense fund might still be a good idea, with enough publicity it could get donations.

An idea: use some of that money to start or contribute to a legal defense fund for drags and queer people.

There's so much lies and hate in some places/groups. If more victims had access to a decent lawer to defend themselves, politicians would think twice before launching random accusations.
