It isn't an American ship, the ship has literally nothing to do with America.

America isn't blowing up Palestine. That is a fascist talking point, to try and shoehorn the US and NATO as the villains into any and every situation.

Plymouth, home to major naval bases for centuries, was one of the most heavily bombed cities in Britain during the World War II. Fifty-nine separate air raids killed 1,174 civilians, according to local officials. The raids destroyed almost 3,800 homes, and heavily damaged another 18,000.

There would've been a lot of destruction and rubble. It isn't hard to imagine that some of it would have been built over.

The ground is also not static, things move from their original position over time.

If it's an optional feature why are you complaining that the other businesses are refusing their option to federate with Facebook?

The issue is simple: Facebook will work to leech users away from other services, strengthening their position into a monopoly (if it isn't already in some places). It is not a good thing for Facebook to get access to more users and steal their data.

The relevant points:

The filing reveals some details we already knew about DuckDuckGo — for example, that it’s been profitable since 2014 and that its source of operating revenue is currently search advertising, namely search ads provided by Microsoft in the U.S. However, Google’s proposal also attempts to paint a picture of a startup that didn’t invest in search innovation but instead focused on returning investment to its shareholders.

But it contradicts this point, too, noting that a third of DuckDuckGo’s 50 employees in 2018 were working on improving the search engine, for example.

It also dismisses DuckDuckGo’s approach to privacy as one of its failures, claiming that the approach leads to “significant trade-offs to search quality,” by not utilizing data like search sessions, a signed-in experience, and more. If anything, though, these details and others the filing includes show how difficult it is for a competitor to build a search business to rival Google’s.

Neeva was generating less than a million dollars in subscription revenue at the time and was growing, but was still a small part of the search market, the filing also informs us.

The startup exited to Snowflake for approximately $184.4 million in cash, more than double the amount that had been invested, the filing states. This is slightly higher than previous reports that had pegged the number at $150 million.

There's a bit of editorialising that's a little too disguised in between facts, but that's not unusual for Tech Crunch. They're apparently trying to push against Google's filing and the arguing that they are indeed a monopoly - not that they're wrong, mind.

The common centre is the galaxy they both ~~orbit~~ spiral around together.

Then, the galaxy moves around some other point along with other galaxies.

Then, a bunch of aliens are playing with marbles.

I don't know if this is so much them being scared, the vibe I'm getting here is that the anchor finally feels like he can get away with being a bit of a real journalist, when before he would be reprimanded by the network.

Argentina is where a surprising amount of zero day exploits are written.

It might not violate GDPR, but there's still copyright to it. Reddit haven't provided consideration in exchange for the rights they claim to your comment - access to the website is offered free of charge, regardless of whether you post.

Granted, that's a different avenue entirely, you'd have to take them to court for selling your work to train AI.

If they still have your comments on the site then you still have a claim.

If they don't have the comments on the site, they probably do still retain the content secretly and technically you would have a claim, but it would be impossible to prove.
