Qzih Scientists Find Mammoth Seemingly Butchered by Humans on Arctic Island
Last year, a scientific debate began when a team of scientists announced they had detected phosphine, a gas that is produced by some microorganisms and thus considered a biosignature, in Venuss聽atmosphere. Further studies immediately complicated that result, and earlier this year another team said the gas wasnt phosphine at all but sulfur dioxide. The recent teams findings, published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, indicate that Venus could have active volcanoes, something planetary scientists have long been unsure about. The principle is this: Venuss deep mantle could contain phosphorus compounds, called phosphides, which could be belched into the atmosphere by the planets volcanoes in the form of volcanic dust. With enough explosive force鈥攖he researchers described the necessary force as that of Earths Krakatoa or even the Yellowstone supervolcano鈥攖hat dust could be blasted high into the planets s

Vaoc Report: Firm Tracking Purchase, Transaction Histories of Millions Maybe Not Really Anonymizing Them
The new feature is called pending transactions. How it works is that users can opt to receive a transaction code, which they can then bring to a local convenience store. Once there, they can simply show it to a cashier and then pay for their purchase using cash. In the I/O presentation, Googles Stephen Fulwider explained that in addition to cash, pending transactions will also work with bank transfers and direct debits. Google also plans to add in-app transaction capabilities but didnt clarify as to when w

When it comes to refunds, however, cash-only users will be limited to Play Store credit. Right now, the cash option is available in Mexico and Japan鈥攂oth countries where cash is the payment method of choice. While Google added carrier billing years ago and has expanded it to over 170 carriers worldwide, its not a feature thats universally accessible to every user.
