Measurements of the muon magnetic moment strengthen a previously reported tension with theoretical predictions, ushering in a new era of precision tests of the standard model.
Hackers can now use a JavaScript exploit to trigger Rowhammer attacks remotely on modern DDR4 RAM cards.
In an attempt to better track users and predict their search habits, Google Chrome has developed FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts). FLoC provides visibility into user data to any website that desires this information.
In fact, FLoC places each user in an ID group to help websites recognize and target individuals. In response, the alternative search engine DuckDuckGo has come out with an extension for Chrome that can block FLoC tracking. Furthermore, users now have the option of using either the DuckDuckGo application or extension to entirely opt out of FLoC monitoring.
Google first implemented FLoC in order to offer all users advertisements based on their demographic and search trends, but without including third-party cookies. However, the company waited only a short time before deciding the tracking method would apply to all Google Chrome users regardless of whether the user chose to opt in or not. Understandably concerned about privacy, many users have expressed wanting to learn more about alternative search engine options.

I saw this on several sites and it both infuriates me and makes me really sad. A half million barrels of DDT dumped right off the california coast in the 1940s, about 3k meters below on seafloor. Metal barrels corrode fast in salt water so you can assume its been poisoning the plankton and fish all this time.
The lasting effects of DDT contamination are killing an alarming number of California sea lions.
