“The number of URLs containing child sexual abuse imagery since 2015 has also risen significantly.” - very disturbing. This is recorded data as well, not taking into account content that still flies under the radar.
Summed up my thoughts on this right here. Reading the article it doesn’t exactly detail what the headline explains and, as you said, selves into the ethical debate surrounding its use. Sigh.
"My heart is overflowing with happiness, and I'm deeply moved," said Yoshifumi Kai, head of the Japan Small-Type Whaling Association. "People have hunted whales for more than 400 years in my hometown."- Just because something has long-standing traditions, doesn't mean that should be continued.
We used to burn people for witchcraft and did so for a long time.
This is the perfect rejoinder to "but muh cultural heritage". If you want to break out the "400 year old tradition" argument, you shouldn't get to use modern industrial whaling technology.
It's got some great footage, but it's really not. In intersperses shots of mission control with footage of what's going on in the mission itself in such a way that it's hard to get a good idea of what's going on in mission control.
I was disappointed that in a 90 minute documentary they didn't show the three stages of the rocket launching in anything like real-time. It only took around 10 minutes until they were in Earth orbit[1].
Instead the 1st stage launch is shown in pretty much real-time, so you get a good feel for how long the 1st stage took. Then they show stage separation of the 2nd stage immediately followed by the separation of the 3rd stage around a minute later (in reality it took 6-7 minutes). You never see the 2nd stage light or do any work.
"The charity Guide Dogs - which had complained it was difficult to hear low-emission cars approaching - welcomed the change, but said electric vehicles should make a sound at all speeds."
I think this is a point worth noting - for people with visual impairments, this could be a potentially life-threatening situation they have to deal with on a day-to-day basis.
My girlfriend's family are visiting relatives in France at the moment. They've been going for the best part of 20 years and they cannot believe the temperature.
It's quite scary. Even in the UK, it's been unnaturally warm for most of this year and there were times in February and March where it was unseasonably temperate.
Plenty of competitors that are more than willing to cash in on any changes. Can twitter afford to lose out in this regard..?
