翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: You just finished lunch and now you’re eating such a big bowl of ice. Aren’t you afraid of getting an upset stomach?
Huahua: I can’t help it; the weather is just too hot! Even the air conditioning can’t cool me down. Eating ice is the only thing that works.
Qingqing: That’s true, but eating too much cold stuff is bad for you. You should try to control it.
Huahua: Everyone says that, but I really don’t understand why eating ice is bad. Can you explain it to me?
Qingqing: According to traditional Chinese medicine, while ice can lower your body temperature, eating too much of it increases moisture in your body, which can cause aches and pains and affect your digestive system and circulation.
Huahua: That serious? But it’s so uncomfortable being this hot. Does that mean I can’t eat ice at all?
Qingqing: You can choose milder ice treats, like fruit slushies or tofu pudding ice. Adding some other ingredients to make it less cold might be better.
Huahua: Alright. I’ll remember that and try it next time. Thank you!

Colorado has taken a pioneering move towards protecting consumer privacy in the age of brain-computer interfaces. With the rise of neurotechnology, which involves technology that monitors and interacts with the brain, data privacy concerns are coming to a head. In response to growing anxieties, Colorado has become the first state in the US to pass an amendment that safeguards the privacy of human brainwaves. On April 17, Colorado announced an update to its Privacy Act, which went into effect on August 6. The new Colorado Privacy Act classifies brainwaves as “sensitive personal information,” offering them the same protections that
The Australian government will legislate for a ban on social media for children under 16, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Thursday last week, in what it calls a world-leading package of measures that could become law late next year. Australia is trialing an age-verification system to assist in blocking children from accessing social media platforms, as part of a range of measures that include some of the toughest controls imposed by any country to date. Albanese cited the risks to physical and mental health of children from excessive social media use, in particular the risks to girls from harmful depictions of

However, many new devices that can record consumers’ brainwaves or analyze the brain in other ways have been launched in recent years. Often marketed outside the realm of medical equipment, these devices evade the existing safety and privacy standards for healthcare devices. Experts are raising concerns about this lack of oversight, fearing the potential for these tools to become mind-reading devices without users’ consent or knowledge. Other US states are considering similar regulations to protect their citizens in regard to neuro data gathered by technology companies. Colorado’s
