On the flip side, in Europe extreme right parties are mostly being propped up by young men, while in other age groups men and women vote relatively similarly, which supports this finding.

That's not even a Chinese innovation. At least the Chinese gave Mao a proper burial instead of desecrating his corpse Christian saint/Lenin style.

They will always have slave labour as an "unfair advantage" (to use management-speak euphemisms), so prices might remain low.

So most people officially didn't care either way. That doesn't make it better.

Exactly, ~~7~~ is a boy in continental Europe, but Anglo-Saxon soyboys transgenderized it into 7. (/s because I'm sure otherwise someone would take it seriously)

If anyone else offered to pay what Google pays Mozilla would drop Google like an hot potato (like they did Yahoo).

So I wouldn't count on any mythical alternative unless Microsoft decides to waste more money promoting Bing (which wouldn't really be an upgrade privacy wise).

Then why don't these search engines pay for being default?

If you know you hit a parking lot 500m east of your target you aren't going to miss the next shot.

That the exact location of where rockets land was always treated as sensitive information everywhere to make it hard for the other side to adjust their targeting? During WW2 the British government went as far as coordinate fake news about where the V2 rockets landed with the media to make it harder for the Germans to hit anything.

It naturally contains some of the buzzwords of the time, such as fourth-generation programming language (4GL). If you’re not familiar with that term, suffice it to say that the Wikipedia page lists several examples, and Cobol has outlasted most of them.

Lots of 3GL outlived most 4GL languages, C, C++, C# Java, Ruby, Python, and even newer languages like Rust and Go are 3GL. In fact so did plenty of 2GL (assembly languages).

Programming language generations are about usage and level of abstraction not about being obsolete.

A new study published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics suggests the satellites are emitting "unintended" radiation from the electronics onboard the satellites.

These low-frequency radio waves, are being picked up by telescopes designed to scan that frequency range. That's because this range also happens to be instrumental to deep space observations.

New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate's submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely played a role in the submersible's tragic demise.
