There's an update buried at the bottom of the article. Ton Roosendaal tweeted[1] that they sent Blender a contract to enable monetization. I can see why he doesn't want to do it based on the principles of the Blender Foundation. Sounds to me like Youtube is holding these creator's content hostage because they don't want to put up ads.
I think this article is a bit misleading. According to the original article[1], they're not getting rid of the self checkout lanes, they're getting rid of "Mobile Scan & Go" which is using a mobile app to scan and checkout.
I only noticed recently as they seem to have gotten even more aggressive about it. I often watch things fullscreen at 4K at my desk(49" TV being used as a monitor, it's basically 2x2 24" monitors) and 1080p streams, like Amazon, still look great but recently Netflix took a nose dive in quality and I couldn't figure out why. Using the Windows 10 app instead of my browser fixes the issue.
Can a consumer even initiate a partial chargeback on their card without the original merchant being involved? I don't think they can, so you probably have nothing to worry about as far as fraud lists or something.

As my brother used to say when he was in the Marines in a non-combat position: "They literally pay me to move sheets of paper from the left side of the desk to the right."
Amazon forces 1-click use in places like Kindle and Video purchases. I find this is a detriment if I want to purchase multiple things from these areas since each results in a credit card charge and too many similar charges or too little time between will result in my card getting flagged and locked out.
As far as I understood, the "fake" part of these fake eclipse glasses is calling them eclipse glasses with the implication that they are safe when they are not or not made to the proper standards, not that they were forging real manufacturer information.
Assuming you got paper glasses, on the inside of the arms of the glasses should be information about the ISO certifications and who manufactured it. Compare this against NASA's approved manufacturer list. If there's no info or they're not on the list, don't risk using them.
It's weird but I've got a co-worker who bought some cheap Chinese ones and actually block more light from a phone's flash LED than my legit, approved pair. I'd still never use them since my test is very simple and I don't understand enough about the properties that make for good solar filters.
> because the registrars knew perfectly well that the outcome of refusing service within 60 days after a transfer was that the owner would be locked out of their domain.
This is a bit disingenuous, the rule was established well beforehand. It's not like they made it up for this specific instance.
> "The persons who habitually smoke marijuana have been shown to have higher blood pressure levels when compared to the general population"
It's not even this, it reads as if it was a simple "Have you ever smoked marijuana?" and that's what the conclusion was drawn from.
"Yankey said were limitations in the way marijuana use was assessed -- including that researchers could not be sure whether people had used the drug continuously since they first tried it."
That would be like asking "Have you ever intentionally hurt someone's feelings?" and concluding that people were three times likely to be anti-social.
Presumably they were contacted but the home owners association failed to keep an up-to-date mailing address with the tax authority. It's not the city's responsibility to determine if mailing addresses are accurate, especially for a three decade tax bill of less than $1000.
