Were they supposed to spend the entire summit talking about Ukraine?

Maybe an excuse to set two different prices, but charge more overall.

AMP is a project started by Google, Accelerated Mobile Pages, which ostensibly speeds up loading web pages (primarily news websites) by consolidating them to a single set of servers. This was always a lie, however, as the bottleneck with mobile devices is almost always the mobile connection itself, not the back end interconnections between different news websites' servers.

In reality the goal is to consolidate web traffic to make it easier for Google to track users. Google also strong armed websites into using it, as if you didn't use it then your articles wouldn't show up in the news ribbon at the top of search or in Google Now voice search. Supposedly they don't do this anymore, however they no doubt still require it in the terms of other services they provide.

Yeah I'd like to think AOSP doesn't have that flaw.

No worries at all. FYI you can also edit posts in lemmy, so you could still remove it.

If you see the word "amp" in the url, please do everyone a favour and delete it. Usually that's all it takes.

Yes, because that's the whole point of war. Always has been. There might be a tangled web of parties involved, but money is always the consistent thread through it all.

Heavily decorated veteran Major General Smedley Butler was campaigning about this nearly 100 years ago.

Hamas has been e.g. shooting Palestinian civilians who want to leave the front lines

Do you have any credible reports of this?

Research indicates that lead and cadmium get into cocoa in different ways. For cadmium, it appears that the cocoa plant takes it up from the soil. Lead, however, can be deposited on the cocoa beans after harvest, potentially from dust and soil as beans dry outdoors.

Sounds like this potentially affects nearly all chocolate.
