You might take a soccer ball or perhaps a cone to place underneath your leg. Here’s a start: It might shock you that the circus is still a wildly popular business. You might even spot an alternative to that boring holiday sweater you usually purchase. Twitter announced on April 25, 2022, it accepted Elon Musk’s offer to purchase the social media platform for $44 billion.

This could make Twitter a sort of freewheeling opinion site for paying subscribers. Because of Musk’s other businesses, Twitter’s ability to influence public opinion in the sensitive industries of aviation and the automobile industry automatically creates a conflict of interest, not to mention affects the disclosure of material information necessary for shareholders.

Twitter’s ability to shape real-time discourse, as well as the ease with which data, including geotagged data, can be gathered from Twitter has made it a gold mine for researchers to analyze a variety of societal phenomena, ranging from public health to politics. Twitter announced that the public company will become privately held after the acquisition is complete.

The best talent is selected early-on, in some ways lowering the level of expectations that your son will become a professional player, and easing your desired outcome for this weekend’s game. There are numerous ways to retrieve deleted tweets, which allows researchers to study them.

Twitter’s own algorithmic bias bounty challenge concluded that there needs to be a community-led approach to build better algorithms. Now, to learn more about this process, and to better understand how humans could harness this information, a group of scientists recently developed a long-distance, passive way of listening in on tornadoes. In Operation Desert Storm, the Strike Eagle proved it could successfully fight its way past enemy planes, hit several ground targets, and then fight its way out of enemy territory.

Immediately put it to work in the Western Desert. The average half-life of a tweet is about 20 minutes, compared to five hours for Facebook posts, 20 hours for Instagram posts, 24 hours for LinkedIn posts and 20 days for YouTube videos. A very creative exercise developed by the MIT Media Lab asks middle schoolers to re-imagine the YouTube platform with ethics in mind.

Musk’s description of a platform free from content moderation issues is troubling in light of the algorithmic harms caused by social media platforms. Without having to worry about attracting and retaining advertisers, Twitter would have less pressure to focus on content moderation.

If that wasn’t daunting enough, he also faced the added pressure of replacing Liverpool idol Billy Liddell. Real boss Ancelotti will now manage a record fifth Champions League final as his side faces Liverpool in a repeat of 2018’s final. With the population growing and techniques improving, that number will only increase.

Social media analysts talk about the half-life of content on a platform, meaning the time it takes for a piece of content to reach 50 percent of its total lifetime engagement, usually measured in number of views or popularity based metrics.

Approximately 60 percent of the world population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. And yet approximately 72 percent of vaccine doses were administered in high- and upper-middle-income countries – and only 1 percent in low-income countries.

CORBEVAX uses recombinant DNA technology that many countries already have the infrastructure to produce. Wealthy countries are giving boosters, and even fourth doses, while first and second doses are not available to many worldwide.

The Italians, who are now on a team-record 33-game unbeaten run, advance to their fourth European Championship final and second in the last three editions. While some studies show significant personality differences between users who delete their tweets and those who don’t, these findings suggest that deleting tweets is a way for people to manage their online identities.

After-school games for kids are the perfect way to get outside and have some fun. Austria pushed Italy to the limit, but the Azzurri still found a way to win in extra time, barely getting past the Austrians 2-1 in their Round of 16 matchup. In January 1939, Sindelar and his girlfriend were found dead in their Vienna apartment from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Studies of bot-generated activity on Twitter have concluded that nearly half of accounts tweeting about COVID-19 are likely bots. Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has seen over 314 million infections and over 5.5 million deaths worldwide. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo finally stole the Champions League thunder away from Karim Benzema’s rich vein of form in the two legs of the semi-final win over City, with the Brazilians scoring three of Real’s six goals – including two in as many minutes to rescue the tie in Wednesday night’s dramatic showdown.

In a series of deleted tweets, Musk made several suggestions about how to change Twitter, including adding an edit button for tweets and granting automatic verification marks to premium users. It’s likely that his idea of cooking was adding hot water to ramen noodles.

Musk has already been accused of delaying disclosure of his ownership stake in Twitter. Twitter data has been used to predict asthma-related emergency department visits, measure public epidemic awareness and model wildfire smoke dispersion. Tweets that are part of a conversation are shown in chronological order, and, even though much of a tweet’s engagement is frontloaded, the Twitter archive provides instant and complete access to every public tweet.

Alarming gap in global access to these vaccines. Analyzing deleting behavior can also yield valuable clues about online credibility and disinformation. Similarly, if Twitter adds an edit button, analyzing the patterns of editing behavior could provide insights into Twitter users’ motivations and how they present themselves. Editing tweets could allow users to selectively distort what they said, or deny making inflammatory remarks, which could complicate efforts to trace misinformation.

However, it’s possible to extrapolate from previous research that analyzed deleted tweets. Research has shown a host of these harms, such as algorithms that assign gender to users, potential inaccuracies and biases in algorithms used to glean information from these platforms, and the impact on those looking for health information online.
