Google should break up digital ad business, European regulators say

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:22:55 GMT

BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union regulators hit Google with fresh antitrust charges Wednesday, saying the only way to satisfy competition concerns about its lucrative digital ad business is by selling off parts of the tech giant's main moneymaker.The unprecedented decision to push for such a breakup marks a significant escalation by Brussels in its crackdown on Silicon Valley digital giants.The European Commission, the bloc's executive branch and top antitrust enforcer, said its preliminary view after an investigation is that “only the mandatory divestment by Google of part of its services” would satisfy the concerns.The 27-nation EU has led the global movement to crack down on Big Tech companies — including groundbreaking rules on artificial intelligence — but it has previously relied on issuing blockbuster fines, including three antitrust penalties for Google worth billions of euros (dollars). Five takeaways from Trump’s arraignment It's the first time the bloc has told a te...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:22:55 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – Instead of playing it close to the vest, a number of TikTok users are sharing their latest secret for avoiding airline baggage fees.The “packing hack,” as demonstrated by multiple travelers, involves taking all of the items you might keep in a carry-on bag — e.g., toiletries, electronics, a change of clothes — and instead stuffing them into the pockets of a fishing vest, which can then be worn on the plane. Marlon Wayans blasts United Airlines after issue with bag gets him barred from flight Chelsea Dickenson, the travel vlogger behind Cheap Holiday Expert, was one of the earliest to tout the hack on TikTok back in January.“I'm sure others have had the same thought path in the past — no idea is truly original and all that — but after going viral … I've seen lots of people in fishing vests both online and in person and it always makes me smile to see it,” Dickenson told Nexstar.In her viral TikTok clip, Dickenson demonstrated how she packed her fishing vest’s pockets wi...

What is the 15-minute city?

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:22:55 GMT

(The Hill) -- The 15-minute city is either an urban-planning epiphany or a totalitarian nightmare, depending on whom you ask. The concept, credited to a Sorbonne University professor, promotes self-contained communities where residents live, work, shop and play within a radius of 15-minute travel by foot or bicycle. A new iteration of old demographic ideas drew attention in 2020 as a pillar in the campaign platform of Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris.  Not until this year, though, did the 15-minute city reap its 15 minutes of global fame. In early 2023, the concept became swept up in a swirl of conspiracy theories. Social media posts warned of citizens being imprisoned in their neighborhoods and separated from their cars, a distinctly un-American prospect. The societal conversation about 15-minute cities “emerged as part of the COVID experience,” said Lisa Benton-Short, a professor of geography at George Washington University.  During the pandemic lockd...

AUSTIN (KXAN) - Fossils that have been making "fools" out of scientists for decades are getting a new look. Researchers with the University of Texas' Jackson School of Geosciences published a paper in Earth Science Reviews showing that fossils commonly thought to be coated in pyrite, also known as 'Fool's Gold," had been deceiving scientists for decades."There's a lot of work being done in paleontology that relies on assuming that we're seeing everything. And we're very rarely seeing everything," said Rowan Martindale, Ph.D., an associate professor with the Jackson School. She oversaw the team that did the research.The study, led by Drew Muscente, a former Jackson School postdoctoral researcher, examined fossils found in Germany."These iconic fossils, so many of them have this beautiful, sort of golden sheen," Martindale said.Fool's Gold and FossilsThe fossils are of creatures from the early Jurassic period, about 165 million years ago."It's the time where organisms were dying, goin...
