I wonder if any G Suite customers had their accounts closed.

I've been using a blank new-tab:

While it's less offensive than Google Glasses, this doesn't look like "normal" glasses.
SO actually allows this, Q and A from the same account. Some people use sock-puppets though.
A good example is the armed forces, where recruits are forced into a very regimented routine.
My father was in the marines, and by his description they turned him from someone who lacked discipline and was not fit into the exact opposite.
When he retired, he kept up his routines: rising early, keeping fit. He's tried to instill the same discipline in his daughters - it's not as effective when it's not mandatory however.
Jeff Atwood on the other hand thinks it's a great way to filter out "developers" who can't program their way out of a wet paper bag:
I think our obsession with short/cool handles is strange, and even stranger is people building their "empire" on something that can be taken from you so arbitrarily.
It's the same as people expecting to get free-speech on Twitter/FB/Tumblr.
Even domains, which can't be taken from you on a whim, can be made far less "valuable" with the introduction on new TLDs.
Bigger companies will even force you to take it once you've accrued a number of hours, as it can be a liability on the books (as unused holidays roll over indefinitely).
The US is an outlier in this regard.
No point being animated then, as it's unlikely to be accurate.
I always wonder how accurate the WR line is for swimming events... is it linear, base on splits, or more granular?
So Google will still get to log and analyse your search terms, but they will be aggregated with all other users of Startpage - lots of noise.
This year was much the same as last, and there's been a lot of grumbling worldwide.
Will NBC lose their stranglehold? Will athletes be able to compete in more suitable times, rather than when NBC prime-time is?
Although sometimes not quite neutral, Mike Masnick at Techdirt offers a lot of insight on these topics: https://www.techdirt.com/
I'm not a national of Australia but spent a significant amount of time there in the lower echelons of the auto industry; There the government could see that the local auto manufacturing industry was being priced out by lower-cost SEA operations, and not wanting to have "hard-working Aussies" lose their jobs while in power, were pressured into heavily subsidising (> 40%) some factory workers' salaries.
A couple of party changes later and this was wound back, and almost immediately the two largest employers in the sector announced they were pulling out.
The net result was that instead of some workers losing their jobs gradually, or the plants freezing hires and people seeing this an being incentivised to look at alternate industries for light-labour positions, several thousand workers are expected to be laid off all at once some time next year - fodder for a media shit-storm.
It's a bit off the topic, but the question is, where would those workers be if the government subsidies were instead used for educating/re-training?
