Google Maps, their traffic data has no rivals, unlike gmail which has plenty of good competition. It's the one thing I couldn't easily replace yet.

While she is of Jewish ancestry, she is not religiously observant.

and then

While welcoming the dialogue with Sheinbaum, members of the Jewish community do not consider her to be part of their ranks, in part because Sheinbaum herself has rejected any such connection. “Claudia has actively tried to say: ‘This is not me,” Schlosser said. “It must be respected when a person does not want to be identified in one way or another.”

... and more of that.

Seems like this article is more preoccupied with her religion, which she clearly states is not a big part of who she is, rather than her policies, which I'd be more interested in hearing about.

TL;DR: Your usual sensationalized headline.

The first one was a genuine bug, the second a malicions backdoor. The only common thing is they are both open source projects. I agree with having more oversight and funding on critical open source software, but suggesting that these two vulnerabilities are the same in some way is a bit of a stretch.

Once again a misleading headline: No, Nissan isn't evil trying to force people to buy a new car (Edit: well maybe a bit, see replies). Those older cars rely on 2G connectivity, which is soon to be shut down in the UK, so they are sunsetting support for the features relying on it..

TL;DR: The 2G network they rely on is shutting down.

I love linux and been using it for decades, personally and professionally, but no, linux doesn't have "hot patching" the same way as that article describes it. At most it can live patch the kernel (and only few distros actually use that), but definitely not for the last 20 years, and definitely not running processes. However, it does usually restart background processes after an update without requiring a reboot, but in my experience, often times the system becomes unstable after several such updates and rebooting is effectively necessary (though not forced, and that's why I like it).

They said the "most transparent" genocide, not the most brutal, or the quickest one, or the one with the most people killed.

the mainstream media continue to limit criticism of Israel to humanitarian issues arising from its conduct of the “war,” paying virtually no attention to the near unanimous ICJ rulings, and to the dehumanization of Palestinians by the language and tactics relied upon by Israel. Without using the word “genocide,” they reconfirm in word and deed the genocidal character of the assaults on Gaza

I think what they mean by "mosy transparent" is that it's the most widely reported by the media, as well as downplayed as it happens.

This is the right answer. No tool can detect AI generated content with zero false positives, but someone using AI to cheat won't actually know the subject matter.

Didn't they start as a non-profit? But I guess, as someone I know used to say, there's one god everybody worships: the money god.

At this point, I have to conclude that Musk is actively trying to kill Twitter.

"The reality is that fossil fuels aren't going away for at least 100 years," said Nenad Miljkovic, a professor of mechanical science & engineering at UIUC and the project lead.

The reality is that either they go away much sooner, or we better start enjoying hurricanes, wildfires, rising seas and droughts a lot more than we do now.

I doubt it ... first, it's electric, and second, you cannot install a lift kit on it.
