It’s the day after Zawe Ashton’s 38th birthday when we speak. She’s wearing a bright red, Regency-inspired, rose-covered headdress; she’s had it on since her celebrations with friends and family the night before. “I’ve worn this all weekend. And I thought: ‘Shall I act cool and take it off for Liv? Or will she appreciate it on some level?’” she says with a laugh.Ashton is still buzzing from the birthday love – as well as, perhaps, the early praise for her leading role in the period film drama Mr Malcolm’s List. She…

Marred by a pandemic, a war, political division, and seesawing economies, the past two-plus years have disrupted life as we know it.  If all these have taught us anything in the world of SEO, it’s that even the most sound, effective strategies are subject to re-evaluation.  Even in industries that aren’t directly connected to world events, SEO strategies and goals need to reflect the reality of the times and news cycles.  Let’s look at the role of SEO in a turbulent global…

In a post-Roe world, now that abortion is illegal and restricted in most states, Americans have grown concerned about the privacy protections their favorite period and pregnancy apps provide. It appears that concern is warranted, as a report from Mozilla has found most popular cycle tracking apps don’t protect their users’ privacy at all. Researchers at the Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit organization best known for the Firefox browser which now works to promote an open internet, analyzed 25 reproductive health apps…

Most popular period and pregnancy tracking apps don’t have strong privacy protections, according to a new analysis from researchers at Mozilla. Leaky privacy policies in health apps are always a problem, but issues that fall into this particular category are especially concerning now that abortion is illegal in many places in the United States. Period and pregnancy tracking apps collect data that could theoretically be used to prosecute people getting abortions in places where it’s illegal. Data from period tracking…

Amongst thousands of impressions in a large rock surface, one stood out from the crowd. The imprint of a tough tubular exoskeleton topped with waving tentacles, now frozen in time, looked strikingly familiar, unlike any of its neighbors.  It looked just like a relative of corals, anemones, and jellyfish from a sediment layer dated 20 million years before Cnidaria like these were thought to exist."It's nothing like anything else we've found in the fossil record at the time," says paleontologist Frankie Dunn from the…

Google shows a short section right under the main snippet for some search results that says “30-day returns” or “15-day returns” and so on. What it looks like. Here is a screenshot that I was able to grab of this in action: How does it work. It is unclear exactly how to show this return attribute in Google Search but I suspect it is from the…

Mark Zuckerberg stared into his webcam, trying to make yet another remote meeting seem urgent. Since Facebook started, he’d made a habit of frankly addressing employees directly at a weekly Q&A. Almost no topic was off-limits. But as the company grew, these sessions had become more scripted. He’d stopped showing up every week, instead letting other executives field the most upvoted questions submitted by employees. The raw Zuckerberg persona was back on June 30th, though. Sometimes he sounded like a general…
