Open access rail operators are not permitted to compete with franchisees (on the same routes/proposition) - there's a test that is applied before granting a license to ensure that the services will be "not primarily abstractive" - that is, that the operator will generate new revenue rather than simply taking away from the franchisee.

MLS is currently being adopted by Google Messages for RCS (https://security.googleblog.com/2023/07/an-important-step-to...)
(I'm a Google employee, but don't work on this, not speaking for the company, etc etc etc)

It's still there, although it too got rebranded: https://sitereport.netcraft.com

It does if it has to go through the Windows Defender check. Enough that sometimes I end up launching the same thing multiple times because I get gaslit into assuming I haven't launched it.

According to the first post in the linked thread, the switch to clang is transparent enough that the VS IDE-based debugging experience still works.
My guess (not being a Chromium developer myself) is that this is an exercise in consistency across platforms - I can imagine that using the same compiler on all supported platforms makes the language features supported consistent and removes the risk of one compiler generating much worse output for the same code. But I'm just postulating, I don't actually know for sure.

As long as the other application is Firefox, Safari, IE11/Edge, or Opera, then it probably has a HSTS preload list that is at least in part generated from the Chrome one.
Firefox have some scripts which go through and check to make sure everything still on the Chrome list is still announcing the preload headers, and will autoremove if that isn't that case, IIRC. I wouldn't be too shocked if Apple/Microsoft were doing something similar.

As an interesting, although unrelated aside: platform data is available in the UK's National Rail's feeds, but the terms and conditions[1] explicitly prohibit displaying platform numbers early, as mentioned in their developer guidelines[2].
I guess the wording doesn't technically ban you from displaying historical platform information, but that would likely be a bad-faith use of the data anyway...

[2] http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/static/documents/Developer_Gui... "Occasionally Time-Bound Data will become available through NRE feeds before it is ready to be published to the public. [...] One such example of Time-Bound Data is platform numbers. Early display of platform numbers, particularly at origin and destination stations, can lead to platform overcrowding and/or staff not having sufficient time to prepare the train for oncoming passengers. In some instances, platform numbers will be available in Darwin before being displayed on screens in stations."

That might be because they're the CA underlying Cloudflare's automated SSL issuance - at least for free tier customers.

Google's also been looking to limit the maximum validity lifetimes in general through the CA/B Forum[1] in a ballot that ended up not passing (with hints[2] that Chrome would end up enforcing something similar itself even if it wasn't part of the Baseline Requirements).
This seems to be indicative of the general indication that Chrome wants to head in anyway[3].

There's a 2 swapped with a 3:

Someone else was reporting that it's not showing up - I use unlock Origin on desktop and it was appearing for me.

Some examples of these seem to be:

I'm referring to the postings with the photo and the checkmark and the "On Google" text, not the ones pulled from news sources, like the ones for "trump issues"

From what I remember, Polymer before 1.0 had some severe performance issues on browsers that didn't have native Web Components support, because it shipped with a polyfill that tried to emulate the shadow DOM properly.
I suspect (but have no evidence) that this caused lots of people to dismiss it because of that, and they might not have taken another look at it since 1.0 released.
