For those who want to read more about it, I did the work and found the article.

https://news.yahoo.com/woman-discovers-her-sons-bride-182017135.html

A woman in eastern China had the shock of her life when she found out that her son was marrying her long-lost daughter. The reunion occurred right at the would-be spouses' wedding in Suzhou, Jiangsu province on March 31, according to Sohu News. The shocking discovery was made after the woman noticed a birthmark on the bride's hand, which looked strikingly similar to that of her long-lost child. Determined to uncover the truth, the woman mustered the courage to ask the bride's parents whether she was adopted. After explaining her story and the identical birthmark, the bride's parents eventually confirmed that their child had been adopted. Details were quickly ironed out and the bride confirmed that she was, indeed, the woman's long-lost biological daughter. It turns out she went missing as a child and was picked up by her adoptive parents on the roadside some 20 years ago. The wedding could have been called off at this point, but the woman also revealed that her son — her now-daughter's groom — was also adopted. The wedding proceeded as planned, but the shocking twist is one detour their guests will never forget. In photos that went viral on Chinese social media, the bride can be seen breaking down and hugging her long-lost mother tightly. It's unknown how exactly the daughter went missing, but some are raising the possibility of human traffickers being the culprit. It's also unclear whether the woman's adopted son — now her son-in-law — will be searching for his own parents.

After Trump said she won't be his VP, all gloves are off. She is now fighting slightly more aggressively. Good for her. She should have done it from the start. I mean, she won't win and will take votes from Trump. So I'm rooting for her so Biden will have a higher chance of winning.

Just installed Mint to try it out because it looks similar to Windows. Don't judge me.

Well, Apple stole a patent after they were presented with it when they lied about wanting to do a "collaboration ". Then literally GUTTED their engineering team with crazy sign on bonuses while using what they saw from that meeting and bypass their "collaboration".

I agree that patents suck IF there was no end date. But I'm totally ok with Apple getting in trouble for blatantly doing something like this.

Fuck Apple. They deserve this and more for being fucking too big to get in trouble.

I quit my job because my boss demanded RTO. They asked me to come back after they rescinded the RTO.

Web Manager here. Some good answers here. Let me add a few more.

Engagement. If you land on a page and don't engage on the page and leave, Google doesn't even count you as a User. The more things you do on the page, Google will rank you higher.

Data analysts: we are testing if the article is valuable or not. If nobody is clicking continue, we know that we might need to rework the article.

Page load: The biggest and I mean biggest reason someone leaves a page is page load speed. If you're deep in researching some information, regardless of your internet speed or if the fault is on the user side and your page load is over 3 seconds, you will leave the site. Loading only 1/4 of the page helps with this along with other tricks like caching at the CDN and lazy loading.

There are tons more reasons, but we found that with the "Continue" button, it wasn't detrimental to the site performance.

Visited Japan(Osaka) recently with my 5 year old son. While there is infrastructure setup for people with kids such as stroller only elevators, kids/elder section on the train, nobody, I mean, nobody followed the rules. Regularly the stroller only elevators were full and nobody got out. Or able body adults didn't even glance up to let my sleepy child sit in the kids designated seats.

There were glares at us when my son was having a hard time, almost like we were inconveniencing them.

In my week-long experience there, people in general are not tolerated for children. No wonder nobody wants kids. I wouldn't want to if I was treated that way.
