They removed it because photographers and publishers complained about how easy it was for the average person to just take images from the results and use them elsewhere without attribution. The funny thing is, all you need to do now is to right-click on the image and open in a new tab. But based on your change in behavior I guess that little bit of obfuscation was a lot more effective that I thought.

Perhaps a new forest, but plants in general (current conditions may favor grassland, or something else). It's "re" because there was an ecosystem there before, and now it's returning. Contrast with, say, a brand new island that is the result of volcanic action. Then it'd be just plain old colonization by way of wind-blown seeds, or seeds that survived a bird's digestive tract.

I would expect food production to be area-related. Rotterdam is Europe's busiest seaport, and one of the busiest seaports in the world, so I'm not the least bit surprised that the Netherlands is one of the world's top food exporters.

People spend thousands on a dress, a bottle of wine, a watch, a handbag, an engagement ring, and many other things.

Safari on both mobile and desktop started doing this years before AMP was a thing.

Safari has been doing this for years. The justification is partly because it makes the domain more obvious, especially on a mobile device where you have limited screen width. https://www.netflix.com.evilcorp.com would simply show up as evilcorp.com if only the domain is shown.

Safari has been doing this for a while now, yet no one is up in arms about it.

The officer is playing the music knowing that an attempt will be made to distribute the video, while hoping but not knowing for sure that the video will be blocked from distribution. The video could appear on one of many other sites that do a poorer job of screening media or that don't even attempt to do so.

I take it you still stick to the original definitions of "fun", "garbled", and "terrible", then? Good on you.

That offer included Yahoo's stake in Alibaba, which was split off after Microsoft's bid fell through. Yahoo owned 30% of Alibaba at the time. Alibaba's current market cap is north of $600 billion.

I suppose Sony Interactive Entertainment is different from Sony Music, but once upon a time Sony thought that, if you had the audacity to play one of their CDs on your PC, it'd be a good idea for them to install a rootkit on your computer. After the initial outcry, they released a tool that purportedly removed the rootkit but in reality simply hid it.

T-Mobile currently offers home internet access in some areas, and they have a new streaming video service called TVision.
