Since 2020, TikTok executives have repeatedly tried to reassure people that Chinese staff cannot access the data of non-Chinese users.

But in 2022, ByteDance admitted that several of its Beijing-based employees did access the data of at least two journalists in the US and UK to track their locations and check whether they were meeting TikTok employees suspected of leaking information to the media.

We need to make ban pay low wages to overseas.

If the min wage is 12 dollars per hour. You should not be able to pay a worker overseas for less. It basically bypassing the law.

Why have two cons when zero cons do trick

But then came Love and Thunder, for which Hemsworth still cant forgive himself. I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness, and I became a parody of myself, he says. I didnt stick the landing.

Im now thinking of an abes odyssey game where Abe is actually Abe Lincoln.

Hey Blinken!

I like the Blue Morpho one.

Also The Venture Brothers didn't deserve to end the way it did. The last few seasons and movie felt so rushed and didn't have a satisfying ending. You could argue that Venture Brothers was never about the story, but that doesn't mean that the constant cancellations didn't affect the

Tech geniuses are going all in on a product that can't be left alone without doing crimes.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Millennials could become the richest generation ever by the year 2044.

That's according to The Wealth Report by global property consultant Knight Frank.

The research says that generation is expected to inherit roughly $90 trillion worth of assets over the next 20 years. There is an obvious catch: these millennials have to come from families with healthy financial portfolios.

Which spider man though. It would be a crime to not have Deadpool not pull some homowrotic moments for a cheap laugh. I prefer Tom Holland but while I understand he's an adult he doesn't look it and none of them portray an adult Peter do they?

The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995[1] is a public law of the United States passed by the 104th Congress on October 23, 1995. The proposed law was adopted by the Senate (935),[2] and the House (37437).[3] The Act became law without a presidential signature on November 8, 1995.

The Act recognized Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel and called for Jerusalem to remain an undivided city. Its purpose was to set aside funds for the relocation of the Embassy of the United States in Israel from its location in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, by May 31, 1999. For this purpose, it withheld 50% of the funds appropriated to the State Department specifically for "Acquisition and Maintenance of Buildings Abroad" as allocated in fiscal year 1999 until the United States Embassy in Jerusalem had officially opened.[4]

Despite passage, the law allowed the President to invoke a six-month waiver of the application of the law, and reissue the waiver every six months on "national security" grounds. The waiver was repeatedly renewed by Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama.[5] President Donald Trump signed a waiver in June 2017. On June 5, 2017, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution commemorating the 50th anniversary of reunification of Jerusalem by 900. The resolution reaffirmed the Jerusalem Embassy Act and called upon the President and all United States officials to abide by its provisions.[6] On December 6, 2017, Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital,[7] and ordered the planning of the relocation of the embassy.[8][9] However, following the announcement, Trump signed an embassy waiver again, delaying the move, as mandated by the Act, by at least six months.[10][11] Legally, however, the U.S. embassy can be moved at any time without reliance on the Act.

On February 23, 2018, President Trump announced that the US Embassy in Israel would reopen at the Arnona consular services site of the then US Consulate-General in Jerusalem. The United States Embassy officially relocated to Jerusalem on May 14, 2018, to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Israeli Declaration of Independence.[12][13]

The US Chamber of Commerce is not the government, it is a big business lobbying group.

I think this logic sort of treats the problem as being giving the game an overall score when that's just not the issue. The issue is that gamers have such an unhealthy relationship with their product of choice that they stake their own pride and mental wellbeing on whether the game they want is recognized as being good by others. And they already decide the game is good from the trailers or series name, so if a review contradicts their expectation at all then it becomes a personal insult against that gamer. And that's even putting aside when the culture war angle flares up like with this one.

The only meaning any kind of score has to these people is as either validation for their constructed reality or an assault on their values/childhood/beliefs. Breaking it down into smaller scores won't change how the gamers who get mad about them interpret them.

Gamer review culture is a dumpster fire.

Since last week, protesters at Columbia - partly organised by a group called Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) - have called on the university to fully divest its finances, including its endowment, from companies and institutions it claims profit from Israel's "occupation" of Palestinians.

A committee that advises the university on socially responsible investing rejected these demands earlier this year, saying there was a lack of consensus in the Columbia community over the issue.

CUAD also calls on the university to cut links with Israeli institutions such as Tel Aviv University, to formally call for a ceasefire in Gaza, to end policing on campus and to "sever ties" with New York police.

In the wake of last week's arrests, another demand was added: amnesty for protesters who are facing disciplinary action from the university. Some have lost their meal plans and housing, forcing them to find alternative accommodation.
