Google Discover may finally stop hiding the links it shares (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-29 00:34:25

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Earlier this year, Google implemented automatic link shortening for stories shared through Discover. If you’d rather keep the full URL intact, it looks like Google is developing an option to disable the shorteners. Right now we’re able to activate an early preview of the toggle, but it’s not yet operational. Google is absolutely no stranger when it comes to controversies, but they don’t have to all be big “federal antitrust case” scale for us to take not

‘Rick and Morty’ Creators Address That Hilarious New Plot Hole

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-11-29 04:30:49

The latest entry in Rick and Morty season eight skewers holiday celebrations. It starts off with a similar approach to Solar Opposites‘ riff on a Santa Clause-style rule for Halloween, then flies off the rails by by enmeshing the hapless Jerry in an ancient drama involving the Easter Bunny, pseudo-Christian aliens, and the plot of Alien prequel Prometheus. Amid all the weirdness, however, one dialogue exchange between Rick and Morty caught our attention—and bugged us so much, io9 asked showrunn

I'm standing in a drafty room with several hundred people in London's Truman Brewery, all of us shaking our hands above our heads, woo-wooing our way to the end of another day at SXSW. I won't lie –– I'd hoped something like this would happen at some point during the week. Weird, offbeat moments such as this really separate a fun conference from a boring one.

Is gravity just entropy rising? Long-shot idea gets another look

news.ycombinator.com George Musser 2025-11-28 22:36:41

Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his law of universal gravitation. For decades after publishing it in 1687, he sought to understand how, exactly, two objects were able to pull on each other from afar. He and others came up with several mechanical models, in which gravity was not a pull, but a push. For example, space might be filled with unseen particles that bombard the objects on all sides.

Cyborg Embryos Offer New Insights into Brain Growth

Scientists have created cyborg embryos by implanting electrode arrays into the developing brains of frogs, mice, and salamanders. Although the researchers reject implants in human embryos as unethical, they suggest their technology might one day help study and treat neurodevelopmental conditions in children. The stretchable technology at the core of the electrode arrays could record brain activity while remaining soft enough to accommodate the children’s growth. Recording the activity of neuron

The Algebra of an Infinite Grid of Resistors In a previous note we discussed the well-known problem of determining the resistance between two nodes of an “infinite” square lattice of resistors. The most common approach is to superimpose two “monopole” solutions, one representing the field for one amp of current entering a given node and flowing “to infinity”, and the other representing the field for one amp of current being withdrawn from a given node flowing in from infinity.
