I don't see this mentioned in any of the other comments: the repulsion between atoms that causes the movement to propagate through the stick is actually communicated via photons. So your push really generates the same kind of particles that your light torch is generating, and they travel at the same speed. Except in the stick it is slowed down by repeated absorption and excitation by the electrons of the atoms.

Obviously that's not going to make one iota of difference. They're an American company and they have been ordered by the president of the country to do this. They already do similar things in other authoritarian countries like China and Turkey, because anything else would risk the safety of Google employees.
If you don't like it, change to a non-American product and/or vote for a different president.
I got the Pixel 9P for this reason. It's actually notably smaller than the previous models.
Astrology daughter might have her heart in the right place but she's still stupid, and her prejudiced woo-woo beliefs are going to end up hurting people and society.
X has an estimated market cap of $9.4 billion, whereas Nestlé has a market cap of $219 billion. That's a corporate superpower with no qualms about monopolizing freshwater or bait- & switching breast milk formula from babies. And it's just one of the companies they're taking on, with a shitty case to boot. So yeah... if I was Elon I would keep my head down.
Exactly. I see no evidence in the article that this is a trend - that seems to be a naive interpretation by an incompetent reporter. They've just confirmed something that has always been true.

While teens may or may not track these tech news headlines as closely as their adult counterparts, this overall shift in sentiment is affecting them, too.
Uh no, it's the adults who are out of touch here. The old media news headlines don't represent reality very well.

Thought about body made of lip skin for 7 seconds
Lip skin is extremely thin, lacks most sweat glands and hair follicles, and has capillaries near the surface. If your entire body were covered with lip skin, you’d lose much of your normal protective barrier. You’d be extremely vulnerable to dehydration, temperature changes, and infections, and your skin would likely dry and crack constantly without constant moisturizing. You’d also appear reddish or pinkish all over, and physical contact could be painfully sensitive. Overall, such a condition would be debilitating and practically unlivable.

Well, that's apparently for the courts to decide. In the meantime they have an executive order to contend with. Google has reclassified the U.S. as a "sensitive country" along with other authoritarian regimes and I'm convinced that this is partly out of concern for the safety of Google employees. Who knows what maga cultists might do if they don't comply.
