Breaking the rules is in big tech's blood – now it's time to break the habit
From the young Bill Gates and Paul Allen plundering software companies' garbage bins for source code listings. Gates writing a snotty letter to computer clubs a few years later complaining about software copying, and Ballmer calling Linux a cancer, to Windows having an embedded Linux layer, Microsoft has shown a very variable attitude to intellectual property.

Despite the Kremlin’s attempts to create an alternative to Western platforms, “Platforma” has not been able to attract a significant number of viewers and remains little known even in the Russian Internet space

CNN Fires Hamas-linked Gaza Freelancer Exposed by HonestReporting
Throughout the Israel-Hamas war, CNN has given a prominent platform to news reports by Sabbah, who has also worked for the Associated Press, and the exposure of his links to the terror group casts a long shadow over the network’s vetting procedures and journalistic standards

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the early 20th century provides arguably the most compelling evidence of the Jewish people’s enduring connection to their land and heritage.

Earth’s core has slowed so much it’s moving backward, scientists confirm. Here’s what it could mean < < was the headline grabbed my attention 😆
But not all are convinced that the matter is settled, and how a slowdown of the inner core might affect our planet is still an open question — though some experts say Earth’s magnetic field could come into play
https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/05/science/earth-inner-core-rotation-slowdown-cycle-scn/index.html
it supports the 2023 proposal that this core deceleration is part of a decades-long pattern of slowing down and speeding up.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-022-01112-z
The new findings also confirm that the changes in rotational speed follow a 70-year cycle, said study coauthor Dr. John Vidale
Meanwhile: #Science
New research confirms the rotation of Earth's inner core has been slowing down as part of a decades-long pattern. How this slowdown might affect our planet remains an open question.
Research published June 12 in the journal Nature not only confirms the core slowdown
