YouTube will no longer limit ads on videos that drop the f-bomb early

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-15 20:45:19

YouTube has changed its ad guideline policy surrounding swear words, allowing creators a bit more freedom than before. In a video announcement, YouTube's head of monetization, Conor Kavanagh, said that videos containing stronger profanity such as f-bombs in the first seven seconds are now eligible for full monetization. In 2022, YouTube introduced a policy that would flag videos using profane language in the first several seconds as ineligible for advertising. It relaxed that rule a bit in 2023.

Survey of 1,000 Experts Shows Quantum Physicists Still Can’t Agree on Anything

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-15 17:00:10

In July 1925—exactly a century ago—famed physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to his equally famous colleague, Wolfgang Pauli. In it, Heisenberg confesses that his “views on mechanics have become more radical with each passing day,” requesting Pauli’s prompt feedback on an attached manuscript he’s considering whether to “complete…or to burn.” That was the Umdeutung (reinterpretation) paper, which set the foundation for a more empirically verifiable version of quantum mechanics.

The healthy soda trend doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon. Last week, Pepsi announced that it will launch its very own soda packed with prebiotics in fall 2025. In March, the company also purchased the prebiotic soda brand Poppi for $1.95 billion. If such a major player in the regular soda market is jumping on the healthy soda bandwagon, the healthy beverage movement doesn't seem to be simply succeeding -- it's also growing.

Tesla has a new battery cell supplier. Although the automaker is vertically integrated to a degree not seen in the automotive industry for decades, when it comes to battery cells it’s mostly dependent upon suppliers. Panasonic cells can be found in many Teslas, with the cheaper, sturdier lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells being supplied by CATL. Now Tesla has a new source of LFP cells thanks to a deal just signed with LG Energy Solutions. According to The Korea Economic Daily, the contr

This was supposed to be the year of the MDMA revolution. About this time last year, prescription MDMA looked like a sure thing. After decades of clinical research, political wrangling, and aggressive promotion, the popular underground club drug was set to be tamed and medicalized, with a stamp of approval from the US Food and Drug Administration. Then, it wasn’t. In a stark change of course, the FDA rejected the MDMA therapy it had been considering by a 10-1 vote. The decision derailed psyched

US fertility rate fell to a record low in 2024, mirroring a global trend

In a nutshell: The CDC released data this month that shows the US fertility rate fell to an all-time low in 2024, but the number of babies that were born last year increased YoY.
