Perhaps a headline of “Scrutiny of Drop of FIFA Bribery Charge After Trump Given Peace Prize” would be better?

3·9 months agoAllowing more things through, if I understand your analogy correctly in this case, is broadening the exceptions – things not matched by the definition.
But, I’ll bite, let’s dive in. In a Venn diagram, substances with a minimum of 2 fully fluorinated carbon atoms is a subset of substances with a minimum of 1fully fluorinated carbon atoms, yes? Similarly, M&Ms with only red and green colors is a subset of M&Ms of any color, yes? If a person was to change their personal definition of acceptable M&Ms from any color to only red and/or green, would you call that broadening that definition?

15·9 months agoFrom the first article:
Worse, there is no firm definition of exactly what a PFAS is—at least in the United States. The Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which works with 38 member nations including the U.S. to foster international cooperation and economic growth, defines PFAS as industrial chemicals that have at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom—which is a carbon atom with two or three fluorine atoms attached to it. There are about 15,000 species of chemicals that meet that standard. But the EPA has pushed back, broadening the definition to two fully fluorinated carbon atoms. “The final definition does not include substances that only have a single fluorinated carbon,” the agency wrote in its formal report in 2023—during Joe Biden’s presidency. That change is worrying.
A minimum of 2 fully fluorinated carbon atoms instead of 1 is NOT broadening the definition. That’s narrowing it.

I’d’ve thought EA is just an abbreviation for Electronic Arts.
Back in the day, a couple of people I knew abbreviated it as EOA to more closely match their original logo.

People can use StreetComplete and other software to enhance existing data (e.g. building heights/floors) and overall improve the underlying OpenStreetMap data that it (in part) uses.
Some of the data it uses is based on OpenStreetMap. There was a viral story about a 212-story building due to a typo.
