Originally less than 4% of female elephants were born without tusks, but due to evolutionary pressure from poachers, 98% of female elephants in Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa are born without tusks. Males need tusks because they use them to fight over females. Tusks are still useful for females to strip bark from trees, so these new tuskless females may have to compensate by expanding their range to make up for their lack of foraging ability." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Elephants are evolving to be tuskless after decades of poaching pressure" } ]

The hack only required him to visit any website. Using the hack, the attackers could access all the data on the phone, listen to calls and monitor video conferences, and even turn on the camera and microphone to monitor the journalist at any moment. Network injection attacks leave virtually no trace, making it impossible to determine what weakness was exploited to gain access to the phone.

In 2014, Oracle sued Google for re-implementing APIs from the Java programming language. An appeals court ruled in Oracle's favor in 2018. Google continues to fight the case, claiming that restrictions on APIs would stifle software innovation. Every significant computer program uses APIs, so restricting them by copyright could create legal landmines for many companies.
