that "Google made their search results worse on purpose to get more ad impressions" article that's going around is based on an internal email chain from a legal filing, in which an employee mentions this potential approach for increasing engagement metrics... as an example of a bad approach and not something they'd be comfortable doing.
based on my reading, there's nothing in here that says they actually did it. I can't see anything in there that supports that claim.

I swear they did and then rolled it back, but I don’t want to read all of that again.
My takeaway was a sharp reminder that google, like meta, are advertising companies that have various web services as well.
The email chain is sad. Like the slow death of a passion for technology getting fisted to death by greed. Like bowels perforated dead.

That is one goofy-ass robot but also goofy is how those guys are risking ricochets by firing directly at it while she's clutched in its goofy robot arms.
Clearly this story was written by a robot. Robot Moore Williams to be precise.

> Anti-nazi sticker spotted in a bin in Danville, Pennsylvania
L'immagine mostra un bidone della spazzatura di colore blu scuro, con una rete metallica a griglia. Sul bidone è attaccato un cartello giallo con il testo "DON'T BE A LITTER BUG" in nero, seguito da "THANK YOU" in nero. Al centro del cartello c'è un'illustrazione di una persona che getta un simbolo di swastika in un bidone della spazzatura. Il bidone è posizionato su un marciapiede, con una strada visibile sullo sfondo. Il cartello è un messaggio di educazione ambientale che incoraggia la pulizia e il rispetto per l'ambiente.

El exasesor de seguridad nacional John Bolton declaró en una entrevista reciente que el presidente ruso, Vladimir Putin, podría correr el riesgo de "exagerar" con el presidente Trump en medio de las conversaciones para poner fin a la invasión de Ucrania por parte del Kremlin.
Bolton, un crítico acérrimo de Trump, afirmó que Rusia sigue "sufriendo" económicamente por las sanciones impuestas por Europa Occidental y Estados Unidos durante la guerra de tres años en Europa del Este, pero argumentó que Putin aún se encuentra en una posición política "muy fuerte".
"Pero a medida que esta guerra se prolonga, creo que su posición se debilita. La verdadera pregunta es si, entre los esfuerzos de Estados Unidos y los de Europa para lograr un alto el fuego entre Ucrania y Rusia, este se logrará", declaró Bolton durante su aparición en el programa de radio de John Catsimatidis, "Cats Roundtable", en WABC 770 AM.
“Putin ya ha obtenido muchas concesiones para lo que desea. Quiere conservar el territorio que Rusia ha confiscado en Ucrania… pero creo que, a estas alturas, podría correr el riesgo de exagerar con Trump”, dijo Bolton.

The image depicts a woman standing in a futuristic control room. She has short, wavy brown hair and is wearing an orange, high-necked, long-sleeved jumpsuit with white accents. The jumpsuit has a zipper at the neck and a square patch on the chest. The woman is looking directly at the viewer with a neutral expression.
In the background, there is a large monitor displaying a yellowish image, possibly a schematic or map, with a control panel featuring various buttons and switches below it. The room has a high ceiling with visible structural elements, and there is a window or transparent wall showing a view of the outside, which appears to be a bright, open space. The overall color scheme of the image is a mix of warm and cool tones, with the orange of the woman's jumpsuit standing out against the more muted background.

okay, so i've been trying to find a big repository of old web banner ads for a long time, unfortunately it seems nobody's really ever wanted to archive them (probably because they have a negative connotation), but looking back at them, they're certainly a big part of internet history that i think should be archived
anyways, i found nearly 400 of them from an archived banner ad making website, funnily enough it seems that they stored them by putting each person's full email address in the URL, which is very much not secure at all lmao
