Meta’s Big Reckoning Is Here | WIRED
Meta is in court again over child safety, and this time it’s a landmark case that could force significant changes to core features of Facebook and Instagram. (The same arguments could be applied to ads).
O’Neill emphasized that throughout the trial, the jury would be shown just “how many features work both individually and together to keep people in the apps. To draw them in and keep them in for longer. Meta has used these features to draw kids onto the apps, and to keep them coming back.”

This would be for an experimental reversal of my Excel to HTML Table the results to be tested would be from "Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)" -- https://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm

Expect problems with resulting CSV file since csv does not have cell merging that I am aware of. At least I do not merge any cells vertically.

The one I would try first would be Browser Extensions: Install a Chrome tool like HTMLtable2CSV to scrape and download tables directly from the page with one click.

It would probably be better and faster to just process the table html code using Notepad and using ^ instead of commas c all <TABLE ...> </TABLE> to NULL c all <TH...> and <TR...> and </TD> to NULL c all </TH> and <TD...> and </TR> to ^ regular expressions should handle ellipses

Chinese court sentences Evergrande founder to life in prison
The Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court has sentenced Hui Ka Yan, the founder of China’s Evergrande real estate group, to life in prison Thursday for large-scale fraud.

The court also fined Evergrande Groupe 8.82 billion yuan ($1.31 billion) and Evergrande Real Estate an additional 7 billion yuan ($1.04 billion), according to a statement the court issued.

Everyday there are scammers taking advantage of people. I call them to waste their time, walk people through their "script" and lies, report info when I can, and otherwise make light of a dark situation.

New Jersey Has A Secret NOBODY Talks About - YouTube [23:00] geology

This video reveals New Jersey's surprisingly complex and "wild" geography, showcasing 35 facts that highlight its ancient origins, volcanic past, glacial transformations, dynamic coastlines, and the vast Pine Barrens, presenting it as a far more fascinating region than its suburban reputation suggests.

Key Takeaways New Jersey's geological history stretches back billions of years, featuring ancient mountain roots and some of the oldest exposed rocks in the eastern U.S. Significant volcanic activity shaped the landscape, creating formations like the Watchung Mountains (from dinosaur-era lava flows) and the Palisades cliffs (from cooled underground magma). The state is shaped by powerful erosion and tectonic forces, exemplified by the Delaware River cutting through an ancient mountain and its location on fault lines susceptible to earthquakes. Glacial activity dramatically altered New Jersey's geography, splitting the state into distinct regions and leaving behind glacial lakes. The Jersey Shore is a constantly evolving environment, with events like Superstorm Sandy dramatically reshaping the coastline and barrier islands frequently disappearing. The Pine Barrens represent a vast, protected wilderness larger than many national parks, with a unique ability to "swallow" abandoned towns and holding the distinction of being the first National Reserve in U.S. history. The video hints at intriguing hidden phenomena, including the possibility of undetected asteroid impacts within the state.

China’s $3 Glasses Just Killed a $165 Billion American Monopoly [25:55]
China’s $3 Glasses Just Killed a $165 Billion American Monopoly [25:55]
Have you ever wondered why a pair of glasses that costs $5 to $8 to manufacture ends up selling for $250 or more? The answer lies with EssilorLuxottica, a $165 billion empire that quietly spent 60 years buying up nearly every piece of the global eyewear industry. Founded by Leonardo Del Vecchio, an orphan from Milan who started out stamping metal hinges in a small workshop in Agordo, Italy, the company grew into the most complete monopoly in consumer goods. Luxottica acquired brands like Ray-Ban for $640 million and Oakley for $2.1 billion, purchased retail chains including LensCrafters and Sunglass Hut, signed licensing deals with Prada, Chanel, Versace, Burberry, and dozens of other fashion houses, merged with lens giant Essilor in 2018, and even owns EyeMed Vision Care, the second-largest vision insurance provider in the United States with 43 million members. But right now, a city in eastern China called Danyang is breaking that monopoly from the inside. With fewer than 1 million residents, Danyang produces over 400 million spectacle lenses per year—50% of every lens manufactured on Earth—along with more than 100 million pairs of frames annually. More than 1,600 eyewear companies operate there, employing over 50,000 workers and generating approximately $2.8 billion in yearly revenue. The lenses coming out of Danyang feature multi-layer optical coatings, blue light filtration, UV protection, and precision grinding that independent lab tests confirm match or exceed the performance of premium brands at 10 to 20 times the cost. Online eyewear companies like Zenni Optical, founded in 2003 and now with over 50 million pairs sold, offer complete prescription glasses starting at $6.95. Warby Parker, launched in 2010 with $95 frames, went public in 2021 at a valuation exceeding $6 billion. Online eyewear sales in the United States have risen from under 3% in 2015 to more than 15% in 2025, and 4.4 billion people worldwide who need corrective lenses are finally starting to ask the question EssilorLuxottica never wanted anyone to ask: why does this cost so much?

Japanese Technology for GROWING Teeth. What Don't Dentists Tell You? [17:16]
Imagine losing a tooth and growing a new one instead of getting a dental implant. It sounds like science fiction, but researchers in Japan are testing a drug that may help the body start growing teeth again. It is not available in clinics yet, and it is not a miracle cure — but it is one of the most interesting ideas in dentistry right now. In this video, we explain it in simple words: can humans really regrow teeth, who this technology could help first, why it is much harder than it sounds, and whether it could replace dental implants in the future. In this video: — can humans grow new teeth? — what is the Japanese tooth regrowth drug? — why don’t teeth grow back naturally? — who could this help first? — can adults regrow lost teeth? — could this replace dental implants? — why this is not ready for clinics yet If you have ever wondered why humans cannot grow a third set of teeth, this video will make the topic simple and interesting. -------------------------- Follow me on Instagram:   / riat_eng   -------------------------- 00:00 Tooth Regrowth: Can Humans Grow New Teeth? 00:53 Why Everyone Is Talking About Tooth Regrowth 01:48 Why Growing New Teeth Is So Difficult 03:15 USAG-1: The Protein That Blocks Tooth Growth 05:20 How Tooth Regeneration Could Work 06:11 Why a New Tooth Could Be Better Than an Implant 06:53 Tooth Regrowth Is No Longer Just Mouse Experiments 08:13 The Key Question: What Can Actually Grow Into a Tooth? 09:16 Who Tooth Regeneration Could Help First 10:13 Can Adults Regrow a Lost Tooth? 12:27 Why Simply “Growing a Tooth” Is Not Enough 13:13 What Human Trials Are Testing Now 14:42 Will Tooth Regrowth Replace Dental Implants? 15:35 Final Answer: When Could We Regrow Teeth?

Actually can't replace TV in the manner described. Viewers cannot surround hologram from opposite sides unless they can see thru the hologram in which case neither side can view solid surfaces (in colors). For instance a ball with different imprints on both sides, a landscape, a volcano. A background for one person would block viewing from other angles. Good for one person viewing
