What is your point? It's not plagiarized, and the WHO 'article' is a press release. Which is literally published for other journalists to use as primary sources and statements on events. WHO made their statement to explain their involvement in this event and provide information about said event, so it can be disseminated to a wider audience.
Don't throw such accusations around when they so unfounded.
We have 40 email accounts on our custom domain and pay $0 per month for both sending & receiving emails on our custom domain.
We have very simple tech for that. We use the free email forwarding option from our domain provider. This allows us to receive emails sent to our custom domain. To send emails we use the free sendgrid SMTP servers configured for that same custom domain email account in our forwarded email account.
Maybe not the most elegant solution, but we can run upto 100 free custom domain email accounts using this.
Having lost a loved one recently, I can say that never ever underestimate the effect of sharing grief with the family in-person. Just drop into Pete's home in Scotland and spend an evening with his family & loved ones. They must all be deeply in grief and your physical presence to talk to them about Pete would mean the world to them.
We have a banking website which refuses to login when I connect on the 5G Wifi but allows me to login when I connect on the regular 802.11 WiFi (non-5G mode). How does the website login know which WiFi speed am I connecting on?
Google is aggregating search queries. And they are selling my search query to the highest bidder with whom I'm not having a direct relationship. That sounds like a search broker to me.
"Existing law, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, beginning January 1, 2020, among other things, grants a consumer a right to request a business to disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information that it collects about the consumer, the categories of sources from which that information is collected, the business purposes for collecting or selling the information, and the categories of third parties with which the information is shared."
The new law requires companies to tell us who are they sharing our personal information with. Applying common sense law -- this sounds like anyone who sells my personal information to a third party with whom I'm not having a direct relationship - that gets covered.
The Ad I see on the top of my search query seems based on personal information that was sold to a third party.
The ad you see in the search results was put their by google after an advertiser said “advertise to someone who searches for X, and also likes hacker news”. Google wouldn’t share that data to the advertiser. Once you click the ad... that’s another story.
Why else would you click on the link, except to go to the website of the business at the other end?
Certainly visiting the website of a business is a consented action, when you were searching, and then clicked a link, for relevant keywords to that business.
The law has a lot of requirements for every company that collects data about you. It has additional requirements for companies that are data brokers. The quote you provided is about the former. The list linked in this post is about the latter.
Correct. While this law certainly enables you to send “nightmare letters” and generally make yourself a PIA for Google and all other companies, it does not require them to register as a data broker because of the consumer’s direct relationship with them.
Loneliness, when used for turning the search light inwards, can turn out to be a very rewarding experience. Most of the enlightened souls have spent a decade or more in solitude and looking inward. If the time of aloneness is used well, it can help find many answers. Eventually people do end up spending time with others, but those interactions turn out better when the time of being alone has been gainfully spent.
I am pursuing a self-sponsored PhD at one of India's leading institute of science and technology. I have about 15 years of work experience, including building a product which has seen a good amount of commercial success.
Validation of idea's was one of the reasons I decided to enrol in the part-time doctoral program. Also, vetting of technologies I planned to use in my work was another reason to become a part of a central govt. funded institute. It is easier to collaborate with faculty members when you are part of academia than otherwise.
Having said that, I am now of the opinion that independent research is the most optimum way to pursue one's own ideas. If you are working in the space of citizen impact or developmental projects, engaging with journalism editors has a far more positive impact than engaging with academic faculty. The science editors are able to articulate and help you present your work better than most other people.
Another group of people, I feel, might be helpful are "true incubating mentors". If you are looking at taking your work to the next level, I feel an incubator/mentor will provide you with the right direction (I've myself not experienced this but have seen people benefit from this).
The air pollution event that the article refers to was for a very short duration & was an episodic event due to a meteorological phenomenon.
The dust storm in the western region started on 13 June around 18:00 hrs and ended on 16 June around 05:00 hrs. The data from the official monitors in one of the western regions of Delhi NCR can be seen here:

The headline in the above article is over-dramatic & is lacking a proper understanding of the actual ground-level monitored situation of those two days. What is more harmful is sustained levels of 500 ug/m3 of PM2.5 pollutants rather than a couple of spikes (each lasting less than a few hours) of 999 ug/m3.
