Google exposed the personal information of hundreds of thousands of users of its Google+ social network, the company announced in a blog post this morning. The news, originally reported by The Wall Street Journal ahead of Google’s announcement, means that Google+ profile information like name, email address, occupation, gender, and age were exposed, even when that data was listed as private and not public.

本庶氏、妥協許さず厳しい指導 「疑問にこだわれ」口癖 (日本経済新聞 2018/10/1 21:54)科学者に贈られる至高の賞に輝いた本庶佑さんは「疑問にこだわれ」が口癖。… 父や叔父、祖父も医師で京都大医学部に進む。入学後、遺伝子組み換え技術の可能性を示した「生物学の革命」(柴谷篤弘著)に刺激を受けて研究者の道を志した。学部生時代から、日本の生化学を切り開いた京大の早石修博士の研究室に出入りし、研究者としての基礎を学んだ。研究では厳しい指導でも知られた。「とにかく厳しい。弟子はみな『一日も早く辞めたい』と思っていた」。大阪大大学院教授の仲野徹さん(61)は、京大医学部で本庶さんの助手を務めていた25年ほど前を振り返って笑う。本庶さんの口癖は「Stick to the question!(疑問にこだわれ)」。他人の理論に注意を向けるのではなく、自分自身が設定した問題に集中するように口酸っぱく説いたという。「とにかく一つ一つの事象を厳しくチェックされる。社会のためになる研究かどうかを追求し、求められるレベルも非常に高かった」 研究を離れると厳しさとは違った一面も。「面倒見がよく、弟子から慕われる存在だった」(仲野さん)京大の研究室で指導を受けた奈良先端科学技術大学院大准教授の石田靖雅さんも「極めて才能豊かで重要な部分を指摘してもらった。研究に対する集中力は爆発的で、すごいエネルギーだ」と振り返る。妥協を許さず指導する姿が印象的だったという。

High-Pitched Device Drives Away Teens (CBS News April 23, 2008, 5:15 PM) The device, called the Mosquito, is audible only to teens and young adults and was installed outside the building to drive away loiterers. The gadget made its debut in the United States last year after infuriating civil liberties groups when it was first sold overseas. Already, almost 1,000 units have been sold in the U.S. and Canada, according to Daniel Santell, the North America importer of the device under the company name Kids Be Gone.
The sound that repels troublemakers (BBC 2006/4/4) It was named the ‘Mosquito’ because the sound resembles that of a buzzing insect. And it works by emitting a harmless ultra sonic tone that generally can only be heard by people aged 25 and under. In trials, it has proven that the longer someone is exposed to the sound, the more annoying it becomes.

Some students are downloading a ring tone off the Internet that is too high-pitched to be heard by most adults. With it, high schoolers can receive text message alerts on their cell phones without the teacher knowing.

There’s only one problem with this story: It just may be that Zhuo-Hua Pan invented optogenetics first. Even many neuroscientists have never heard of Pan. Pan, 60, is a vision scientist at Wayne State University in Detroit who began his research career in his home country of China. (He may have invented one of neuroscience’s biggest advances. But you’ve never heard of him By ANNA VLASITS SEPTEMBER 1, 2016 STATNEWS)
Pan presented his work at a conference in 2005, a few months before Boyden and Deisseroth published their paper. But Pan struggled to get his work published in a journal until a year later.
