Mark Zuckerberg's Meta just made a huge mistake. Or more accurately, a bunch of huge mistakes, which have drawn the wrath of lawyers for Meta's peers Apple, Google, and Snapchat. The issue is that during the latest phase of its massive antitrust trial, Meta lawyers presented slides revealing information it held about other companies. Though technically redacted, third party details compiled by Meta were accessible by anyone with the file — because the redactions were easily reversible. Luckil

In high school Earth science, you likely learned that hailstorms form when strong upward winds push water droplets to freezing altitudes, where they solidify and gather additional layers of ice as they cycle up and down the storm cloud. When they grow too heavy, they plummet to the ground. For once, however, new research suggests that the truth might be simpler than what we were taught to believe. An international team of researchers has shed light on the formation and growth of hailstones in s
