This isn't quite out yet: it's in Chrome trunk [2] and still under review in Firefox [3].

I realize there's no publicly available way to tell that yahoo.com and yimg.com are the same entity, but it would be good to at least note this as an issue with the analysis.
(Now if you had said AGPL...)
I take "fighting for justice & fairness" to indicate that she approved of the reversals.
However, now with the reverse split you now only have
1000 shares. The stock still opens at $20 and still
closes at $60.
The only reason splits exist is that people have an irrational attachment to the value of a "share" and expect to see it in a certain range, even though the total number of shares available is a number chosen more or less arbitrarily by the company.
Which makes sense, since a CT scan is basically enough X-rays that you can make a 3D picture.
it's really good to own internal combustion cars where no one lives
Google allowed the advertiser to easily discriminate
With demographic targeting in AdWords, you can
reach customers who are likely to be within the
demographic groups that you choose. Demographic
groups that you can choose from include:
* age
* gender
* parental status
For example, if your business caters to a
specific set of customers within a particular
age range, gender, or parental status, you may
want to target your ads to this audience because
they’re more likely to be interested in your
products or services.
No applicant will be favored or treated differently,
and no one can buy their way onto the whitelist.
Everyone has tocomply with the criteria and everyone
has to go through the same process before the ads
qualify as "acceptable."
Do companies pay you for being added to the list?
Whitelisting is free for all small- and medium
websites and blogs. However, managing this list
requires significant effort on our side and this
task cannot be completely taken over by volunteers
as it happens with common filter lists. That's why
we are being paid by some larger properties that
serve non-intrusive advertisements that want to
participate in the Acceptable Ads initiative.Or is there something else that makes this bad that I'm missing?
1. Test accounts that visited substance abuse websites were much more likely to be shown ads for Watershed Rehab but nothing shows up on the ad settings page indicating the change.
2. Test accounts where the ad settings page has gender=male were much more likely to be shown ads for the recruiter careerchange.com, which offered "$200k+ Jobs - Execs Only".
The first case sounds very much like retargeting. The substance abuse website would drop a cookie and get a small payment from a central db for telling them that this cookie is associated with viewing substance abuse websites. Then Watershed Rehab wants to advertise to substance abuse website visitors, so they pay the central db for a list of cookies, which includes this one. Then Watershed sets up an ad campaign with Google and asks to target visitors with cookies on this list. This can't show up as an "interest" on the ads settings page as "substance abuse" because the association was made by third parties; Google doesn't have enough of the picture to see what happened. You can opt out of retargeting by turning off "interest based ads" at https://www.google.com/settings/ads
The second case sounds like careerchange.com submitted an ad campaign that looked at the gender field. Advertisers have tried to target specific genders for a long time through color and where they advertise, but the internet does make it much more explicit. Still, this is a very small sample to be drawing large conclusions about, especially as careerchange.com stopped doing it (observed in their May run but not the June one).
Disclaimer: I work at Google, on open source software, and I don't know anything about these specific cases.
"The legal issues surrounding model releases are complex and vary by jurisdiction."
"Although the IRS attempted to use Boyter in several subsequent cases that dealt with divorces allegedly entered into to lessen tax liability, courts have sided with the IRS only in cases where the couple remarried after the taxincentivized divorce. In cases where the couple remains divorced, the sham transaction rationale is not available. For example, in U.S. v. Taylor, the government sought to satisfy a tax lien against a man by going after his pension plan—90 percent of which was transferred to his ex-wife in their divorce proceedings—by contending that the man had obtained a sham divorce in order to shield his assets.115 The court distinguished Boyter, noting that while the couple remarried in that case, in the present situation the couple remained divorced.116 Thus, the test that appears to operate in the tax context is a “divorce-plus” test: we know that a divorce is fraudulent if it is followed by the “plus” of remarriage."
For example: different taxation, different financial aid, etc.
You could get rid of all these, but that is a big change.
Specifically, before getting married you can (have a friend) check with the college in question to confirm that they don't require parents financials for independent students.
When can a student fill out the PROFILE as an
independent? A student is considered independent,
for financial aid consideration, if he or she is
or has at least one of the following: is at least
24 years old as of Jan. 1 of the academic year,
is married, is a graduate or professional student,
has a legal dependent other than a spouse, is a
veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces, or is an orphan
or ward of the court (or was a ward of the court
until age 18). If not, the student is considered
dependent. A parent refusing to provide support
for his or her child’s education is not sufficient
for the child to be declared independent.
Financial aid eligibility is, in part, determined
by a student’s dependency status. Independent
students are treated differently from students
who are dependent on their parents. However, some
schools and programs require parental information
on the PROFILE even if the student is considered
independent based on the criteria above.

I.e., is it the goal of hydrogenation to produce
a more solid form of oil, and the trans fats are
a byproduct?
Partially hydrogenated oils do not exist in nature
That aside, I'm still not sure your classification for "processed" or "natural" makes sense. The key step in partial hydrogenation is mixing hydrogen with the oil, [1] while a step in canola refining is mixing hexane with the oil. [2] How does your naturalness heuristic tell us one is ok and one not?
[1] Which makes it surprising that this would create trans double bonds, since the effect is to reduce the number of double bonds. The problem is that with all that hydrogen available some bonds flip from cis to trans.
[2] As you alluded to by saying "processed chemically".
The idea that `name` is short by a byte isn't protected, just the literal code.
(It's quite likely that this particular change is too trivial to be covered by copyright, but the chilling effects reach wide enough here that it might not be worth risking it.)
