Just a day after receiving a roughly $140 million fine, X has terminated the ad account of the European Commission. Nikita Bier, X’s head of product, accused the European Commission of using an exploit to artificially boost the reach of its post announcing the major fine.In the post, Bier said that the commission “logged into [their] dormant ad account to take advantage of an exploit in our Ad Composer” and posted “a link that deceives users into thinking it’s a video and to artificially increase its reach.” Bier explained in a separate post that the exploit has “never been abused…

It can do it all—jazz up a salad, sauté vegetables, add a nice crisp to some noodles, and more. Humans have been using olive oil for about 8,000 years, so archeologists often report olive oil residue on excavated pottery. However, the prevalence of this wonder food might have been overstated in certain environments. For decades, archeologists may have misidentified olive oil in Mediterranean ceramics, possibly missing other plant oils or mistaking olive…
More than 400 years ago, the English colonist and explorer John Smith wrote in his journal that there were Indigenous villages along a major river in what is now Virginia. But the reported sites of the villages were later forgotten, and their existence was disputed.Now, archaeologists excavating along the Rappahannock River have discovered thousands of artifacts — including beads, pieces of pottery, stone tools and pipes for tobacco — that they think come from the villages described by Smith centuries ago.”The presence of these artifacts confirms both oral histories and documents that suggested settlements were located here in 1608, when…

Mars was once home to wet, humid areas that received heavy rainfall, similar to tropical regions on Earth, a new study of unusually bleached rocks suggests.Researchers were intrigued by peculiar light-colored rocks that NASA’s Perseverance rover discovered on the Martian surface. Upon closer inspection, the rocks turned out to be kaolinite, an aluminum-rich type of clay, the scientists reported in the study, which was published Dec. 1 in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.On Earth, kaolinite almost always forms under very warm, steamy conditions, such as those found in tropical rainforests. It typically forms in rocks that have been stripped…
If you’re a Fubo subscriber, you’ve certainly noticed that NBC and all NBCUniversal-owned channels have gone dark on the platform. For over a week, customers have gone without NBC programming like the Today Show and The Voice, and for the second week in a row, customers will have to find alternate methods of watching this week’s Sunday Night Football game, too. It’s all because Fubo and NBCUniversal are having a contract dispute, so channels like NBC, USA Network, Telemundo, and Bravo have been unavailable on Fubo since Nov. 21, and as of now, there’s no projected date for their return.A…
Popular genetics tests can’t tell you much about your dog’s personality, according to a recent study. A team of geneticists recently found no connection between simple genetic variants and behavioral traits in more than 3,200 dogs, even though previous studies suggested that hundreds of genes might predict aspects of a dog’s behavior and personality. That’s despite the popularity of at-home genetic tests that claim they can tell you whether your dog’s genes contain the recipe for anxiety or a fondness for cuddles. This is Max, and no single genetic variant can explain why he is the way he is. Credit:…
A unique “sacrificial complex” discovered between two burial mounds in Russia has revealed new information about the funerary rituals of nomadic people in the south Ural Mountains nearly 2,400 years ago.This past summer, researchers from the Institute of Archaeology of the Russia Academic of Sciences excavated the space between burial mounds at the archaeological site of Vysokaya Mogila, a necropolis with a series of high-status burial mounds scattered across 3.7 miles (6 kilometers). The necropolis was in use between the fourth and third centuries B.C., and a number of artifacts have been discovered both in the burial mounds and outside…
Before anything else, you’ll have to decide between ink and laser. I’ll get into the details when it comes to each model, but the most important consideration is paper type, because it’s a limitation rather than a benefit. Laser printers use heat in the bonding process, which means if you regularly print on windowed envelopes or photo paper, you’ll need to either use an ink printer or change to a thermally safe alternative, which can be cost prohibitive if you print a lot.Inkjets are the most common flavor of home printer, and they work like you might expect, by boiling…
“In general, we are noticing many of these shoes have more of a road running influence than they do trail,” says Bodin. “So, there will be a mix of foams, midsole geometries, less attention to fit, and a more subtle outsole pattern compared to trail shoes.”What Are the Benefits of Gravel Shoes?In a word: versatility. You can lace up a gravel shoe at home with confidence that they’ll handle whatever lies ahead, provided you’re not hitting a really technical trail or ankle-deep mud.“Many of the shoes in this category can run well on roads, gravel paths, and light trails,” says…
