_up··on Amazon knew seller data was used to boost company sales
I am not from the US but I think Amazon has much more market dominance than Costco. If Amazon had 20% market share nobody would mind, but they don't have real competition that comes close.
_up··on Man fined for sharing a Facebook link ruled as defamation in Singapore
Doctors told people smoking is healthy in the past. Harvard apologized for pushing sugar as healthy 60 years ago. Flat Earth was the accepted truth at some time, and Round Earthers considered nut jobs. Not being able to questioning anything "science has settled", would basically kill advancement.
_up··on Manim – an animation engine for explanatory math videos
Looks to me more like they used a compositor like AE or Blackmagic Fusion/Resolve.

Apparently they don't use gas at all.

_up··on UK warns people with serious allergies to avoid Pfizer vaccine
Have you never heard about the word "Virtue Signaling"?
_up··on UK warns people with serious allergies to avoid Pfizer vaccine
You are wrong.

"The notion that COVID-19-vaccine-induced population immunity will allow a return to pre-COVID-19 “normalcy” might be based on illusory assumptions."

_up··on UK warns people with serious allergies to avoid Pfizer vaccine
No thanks, the pre alpha test can do other people. On top of it you still have to wear the mask it doesn't stop you spreading the virus. It just reduces the severity for the people vaccinated.
_up··on Apple’s M1 silicon is all about platform control
Can you leave these beautiful Japanese Gardens once you decided to enter or are you getting jailed there? Because you can't just leave Apples ecosystem unless willing to switch devices+ecosystem of course.
_up··on YouTube will now show ads on all videos even if creators don’t want them
Will this also affect your youtube embeds into your Website?
_up··on U.S. Senate tech hearing becomes political tussle
It's not the same though. You can be at the same time for minimizing Government involvement and even allowing ISPs to decide how they prevent/censor business models, but draw a line when they begin to censor political speech.
_up··on U.S. Senate tech hearing becomes political tussle
How do you do that, if all the big platforms you use are beginning to censor political information that would threaten their power.
_up··on QAnon website shuts down after NJ man identified as operator
It's still strange coincidence even if the id's aren't determistic, they still should be random.

Here is the prediction [1], there was also a post shortly before his death that referenced this and hinted that the month [30] and minute [:28] will be relevant in the future, but it seems to be missing in all archives. Only the QAnon post [2] mentioning this additional info after the death is avaiable.

_up··on QAnon website shuts down after NJ man identified as operator
We are talking about someone involved with a popular index site for QAnon posts, not QAnon or the operator of the "Image Board" QAnon uses to post his messages.
_up··on QAnon website shuts down after NJ man identified as operator
Wouldn't be that suprising if he got death threads and got scared.
_up··on QAnon website shuts down after NJ man identified as operator
A lot of things Q says isn't verifiable yet, and maybe to most not believable but that doesn't make them categoricly "false". He predicted Christ Church hours before it happened and even said it will probably be a mass shooting this time outside the US. Although he claimed Europe as the country it might happen. He also predicted the El Paso shooting 48 hours in advance but wrongly claimed it happens in the next 24 hours. These are very close predictions and you also have to consider that an exact prediction would start people wondering if he couldn't have prevented them.
_up··on QAnon website shuts down after NJ man identified as operator
An Image where people around Trump make a Q symbol thats starts with a phrase that probability of occuring is less 2^30. I would say is more than just luck. QAnon posted on 25.07.2018 4:28pm a image of McCain with his hands up and with a black backdrop. McCain died 25.08.2018 4:28pm. A day before QAnon also stated that McCain's dog days are over and to Compare the minute and month of the previous post. Qanon also stated month in advance that McCain will get in secret the death panalty, but only people following him will know.

_up··on Inflammation might be the root of preventable disease
Did you take in enough Electrolytes? Like Salt, Potassium and Magnesium? Because you lose a lot of Water and Minerals when doing this diet.
_up··on Inflammation might be the root of preventable disease
I had the same problem and then started Keto/IF and also switched to better Oils (less Omega6)for cooking and also eat a can of cod liver (packaged less than 6 months before) which has lots of Omega3 and Vitamin A every two weeks. I have the feeling that everyone is different and there isn't one solution that works for everyone. But sugar, processed foods, and too much Omega6 are a big factor in a lot of illnesses.
_up··on Turning the Puzzle Sideways: Sleep, Diet and the Brain-Gut Connection
You won't find any centenarians that eat vegan. India is one of the countries with the highest diabetes numbers and vegan. Japan, on the other hand, has the most centenarian and they eat basically unprocessed food and low carb.

_up··on Getty Images Sued Again for Trying to License Public Domain Images
Not everything is copyrightable. You certainly can't draw a circle and claim copyright infringement to any other circle. So it depends on the Font. Is it really copyrightable if you take a public domain typewriter font and convert it to a sans serif font. I don't think it is enough.
_up··on Getty Images Sued Again for Trying to License Public Domain Images
Adobe also claims that Fonts are Software. Because most Fonts wouldn't be copyrightable beyond the Name of the Font because they lack innovation. Software, on the other hand, doesn't require innovation.
_up··on Boeing 737: Australia joins Singapore in barring Max planes
The bigger engines are more economically, that's the reason why airlines want it in the first place. But they had to move them forward to fit under the plane which brings the plane out of balance. The alternative would have been changing the height of the plane, which probably also results in other problems.
_up··on Boeing 737: Australia joins Singapore in barring Max planes
In a German forum, I heard the rumor that it has more to do that the new Engines don't fit under the wing so they are moved forward. And this brings the plane out of balance it is corrected via software but might not work, if the sensors have problems. So the pilot would have to not only deactivate the autocorrection but then correct manually the whole flight to prevent stalling. Changing back the software to the old behavior might be even more dangerous.

It's HGH.

_up··on The text of Article 13 and the EU Copyright Directive has been finalised
What about open source chat apps if the developer can't enforce the use of copyright filters he would be liable too?
_up··on Reddit's user uprising against China because Tencent will invest in the platform
But this still needs money for development and growth. I don't see how a non-profit, magically needs less money for that.
_up··on Reddit's user uprising against China because Tencent will invest in the platform
Sure, but the argument was about what would be different if it was run or even started as a non-profit? Tencent, for example, could still become a "sponsor" and board member and try to influence everything.
_up··on Reddit's user uprising against China because Tencent will invest in the platform
If this hypothesis where true couldn't you just build a niche Reddit clone that is run as a non-profit. People certainly would switch if it is so much better.
