The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill currently working its way through the UK Parliament could see Meta (as well as Alphabet) labeled as holding Strategic Market Status (SMS) and therefore asked to financially contribute to content creators to ensure fair competition in the digital market. The amount paid would be decided under arbitration, with the Competition and Markets Authority issuing fines for companies who refuse to pay. Similar systems are under consideration in Malaysia, New Zealand, and the US; the EU already has a law in place that has led Google to sign revenue-sharing deals with more than 300…

A reconstruction of Homo longi, also known as dragon manChuang Zhao The following is an extract from Our Human Story, a newsletter about human evolution. Sign up to receive it for free in your inbox every month. There are a lot of different kinds of uncertainty in science. Sometimes the uncertainty comes from having very little data. For instance, we know very little about the first couple million years of hominin evolution, because from that time period we have only a few specimens: the 7-million-year-old Sahelanthropus tchadensis, the 6-million-year-old Orrorin tugenensis and … Read The Full Article Here

ThirdLove Form Seamless Shortie ($9, originally $16) Modeled after men’s briefs, boy shorts take on a more rectangular shape than most panties. While similar to the hipster, the key difference is that they have a lower-cut leg. In fact, some styles’ legs extend a short way down the thigh. When to wear them: When fitted properly and made from the right fabric, boy shorts can actually serve the same function as a thong in being worn under formfitting clothes without visible panty lines. Longer cotton boy shorts, however, can even be worn as loungewear or pajamas. This particular style from…

“I don’t really know how this plays out,” Sam Sharps, executive director of policy at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, says. “And whether the reassurances they give—even if today, they meet the best standards of investigations of data protection authorities around Europe—are at a political level going to be enough.”TikTok has around 150 million users in Europe, many of whom are committed to the short-form video platform, spending around 90 minutes or more on the app every day, according to the company’s own data.

As the summer winds to a close, and we reluctantly trade beach days and late sunsets for cooler weather and school or work, we also have to confront the reality that COVID will remain a part of our lives.

So many people may be wondering when they can get another COVID vaccine. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the updated fall COVID booster will likely be available around mid-September—once the agency authorizes it. The…

Rick Astley has one of the more deceptively deep voices from the ’80s pop world. Type O Negative’s Peter Steele also definitely thrived in the lower register. But what if you mixed the two together? YouTube sensation Denis Pauna recently experimented with Astley’s signature song, giving it the Type O Negative makeover it so rightly deserves.This gothic Rick Roll is ridiculously good, stripping away the pop sheen of the ’80s hit and dirtying it up with chugging, slow-burning guitar, bass and keys. Pauna showis off his own lower register aping how Steele might have approached it. And honestly, now it’s…

I grew up in a family of secrets that I wasn’t supposed to reveal. Of course, because they made such great stories, I did anyway, but I did it in fiction, writing about my parents, my sister, always changing their names, their appearances. “It’s no one’s business what goes on here,” my mother warned me. My mother was Bea in my first novel, Meeting Rozzy Halfway, an unhappily married woman struggling to raise two very different daughters, and pining away her life for the man who jilted her when she was just 19. She never recognized herself in my books.…

We’re talking about AI in a very nuts-and-bolts way, but a lot of the discussion centers on whether it will ultimately be a utopian boon or the end of humanity. What’s your stance on those long-term questions?AI is one of the most profound technologies we will ever work on. There are short-term risks, midterm risks, and long-term risks. It’s important to take all those concerns seriously, but you have to balance where you put your resources depending on the stage you’re in.

DNA’s 3D shape — its twisted ladders complexly curled into coils and loops — and other features beyond its genetic code may influence where “hotspots” of cancer-causing mutations accumulate.That’s according to a new study of how “genomic topography” affects cancer mutations. Genomic topography broadly refers to elements of the genome beyond the sequence of molecules that make up DNA. That includes variations in how tightly our DNA is wound and which genes are “activated” in different cells. The study, published in August in the journal Cell Reports, catalogs associations between topographical features of DNA and known patterns of cancer-causing mutations across…
