Yahoo Answers, one of the longest-running and most storied web Q&A platforms in the history of the internet, is shutting down on May 4th. That’s the day the Yahoo Answers website will start redirecting to the Yahoo homepage, and all of the platform’s archives will apparently cease to exist. The platform has been operating since 2005.

Yahoo, which is now part of Verizon Media Group following the company’s sale to the telecom for nearly $5 billion in 2017, announced the change at the top of the Yahoo Answers homepage. The message links to an FAQ, which details the timeline of the shutdown. Starting April 20th, the platform will no longer accept new submissions, the FAQ explains.

Users will also have until June 30th to request their data or it’ll be inaccessible after that. That includes “all user-generated content including your Questions list, Questions, Answers list, Answers, and any images,” Yahoo says, but “you won’t be able to download other users’ content, questions, or answers.

Note how amount of any sites and platforms allowing user input in text form is shrinking and this is quite fast process.

Plastic axis and less plastic overall.

Ever more cheap are simpler and less efficient roller mops

Currently, Economics and Statistics Administration - ESA, is considering the possibility of including in the GDP the provision of sexual services by US citizens to each other. Today Department of Statistics will consider the scientific work of the statistician, the official of urban statistics of St. Pete, Pinelas County, Florida, Archi G. Karr, with extremely detailed collected data and calculations based on statistical data on the cost of sexual services in different states, the frequency of sexual contacts, depending on age, gender of the US resident, the indicator "provision of sexual services in families and partnerships" is calculated. Of course, homosexual couples are also included.

Particular attention in this scientific work is paid to leveling racial differences: despite the fact that statistical studies show that African Americans are more sexually active, data on the racial composition of the population are not taken into account, but the state averages are taken.

In particular, according to calculations results then these data will be taken into account in statistics, already in 2021, the US GDP may grow by 12% compared to last year.
