Saudi authorities said Monday only people immunised against Covid-19 will be allowed to perform the year-round umrah pilgrimage from the start of Ramadan, the holy fasting month for Muslims.
The hajj and umrah ministry said in a statement that three categories of people would be considered "immunised" -- those who have received two doses of the vaccine, those administered a single dose at least 14 days prior, and people who have recovered from the infection.

Comment →Supreme Court has released its opinion on GOOGLE LLC v. ORACLE AMERICA, INC. Read it for yourself here.
There are a couple of good threads about it. Here is the more technical one:
GOOD morning, everyone -
Google v Oracle is out. I'm going to walk through the decision for you now. This is a quick first read, without even a skim.

All should be well. Please report any problems you might see.

Before I changed jobs and moved a bit downtown, I used to walk that block of 34th Street everyday — it really is busy, and this sounds like a great plan. The sidewalks are always extremely crowded, and the traffic is always heavy. Plus, since I’m all for pedestrian areas and making transit more commuter (as opposed to driver) friendly, sounds like a good idea to me.Report
