Google has been attacked over reported plans to launch a "censored" search engine in China. Amnest International has launched a petition against the plans, arguing that the apparently launch should be cancelled. Human rights campaigners claim developing a specifically censored search engine would be in conflict with the company's values and that it will limit freedom of expression. They also point out that Google's own staff appear to disagree with the plans. There are a lot of Easter Eggs hidden in Chrome, and more and more are discovered each year.

I have completed Bachelor of Engineering (mechanical stream). I am currently working in the aerospace service industry and am eagerly looking forward to switching to Data Science. Two reasons behind this thought are: I am pretty good in mathematical and analytical skills, while Data Science is one of the remunerative jobs and this industry is expected to grow exponentially.

SHANGHAI/HONG, KONG – A Chinese researcher's claim that he successfully modified the genes of human embryos may force the country to make a stark choice about the future of its burgeoning biotechnology industry -- one with significant implications for an emerging technology arms race with the West. He Jiankui, an American-educated scientist based in Shenzhen, announced on Monday that he'd used Crispr, a powerful gene-editing tool, to make recently born twin girls resistant to HIV. He's statement, which was not backed by peer-reviewed data and hasn't been verified, prompted widespread condemnation from scientists in China and elsewhere, with many calling it an irresponsible use of a technology whose long-term effects are still poorly understood. Yet whatever the veracity of He's claims, it's likely that China, with its aggressively entrepreneurial start-ups and less stringent regulation, will be the country where researchers most rapidly test the currently accepted boundaries of genetic manipulation. That presents its leaders with a dilemma: Whether to follow the U.S. and Europe in strictly regulating its application, or take a more hands-off approach, catalyzing rapid innovation in a strategic industry at the cost of what could be serious risks to patients.
