"A third laid-off Google employee told Insider that a team midway through an off-site at the Chicago office discovered that two of their team members had been laid off when they were unable to badge into the office with the rest of the group."
Companies act like this to people and then folks get offended that employees don't feel like giving their employers 2-weeks notice and putting themselves at risk anymore.

I designed the 12-bit rainbow palette for use in my data visualisations. It consists of twelve colours chosen with consideration for how we perceive hue, chroma, and luminance. The palette uses a 12-bit colour depth, so each colour requires only four characters when specified as a hexadecimal colour code in a CSS or SVG file. For more details, see iamkate.com/data/12-bit-rainbo…

1.2 *million* year old workshop for making cutting tools (hand axes) from obsidian found in Ethiopia. Until now it has been the consensus that making tools from obsidian was rare until the comparatively recent Middle Stone Age (mesolithic).
This was long before modern humans (homo sapiens) emerged, so this was a trained process by one of our ancestor hominins.

Why Elon Musk and the billionaire space bros want to put people in space cages forever
Space colonization is not at all about gadgets and rockets and planets
againstmars.substack.com/p/why…
(Manu basically calls it: Mars colonization is an fetish of the ideologically motivated right-wing eugenics movement. The likely outcome if it happens on Musk's terms will be a living hell for the victims, i.e. 99% of the colonists. And especially the women, because there's a male-supremacist subtext in there.)

Plus, it introduced tabbed email view, new account setup wizard, and... wait for it... auto-downloading of IMAP folders! 😀
