How much should a man pay his ex-wife for home chores in their divorce settlement? Well, according to a recent court ruling, the sum is 50,000 yuan ($7,700). Last month, Fangshan District People's Court in Beijing ordered a defendant to pay his ex-wife that amount as compensation for the housework she did during their five-year marriage. It was the first verdict the Fangshan court had made with reference to a new legal provision－compensation for unpaid domestic duties－under the Civil Code, which took effect on Jan 1. According to the code, a spouse is entitled to seek compensation in a divorce if he or she bore greater responsibility for raising children, caring for elderly relatives or assisting their partner's work. Moreover, the courts should decide the amount if the two sides are unable to agree on a figure. Media reports on the landmark ruling generated great public interest, especially after a hashtag was created on Sina Weibo, China's Twitter-like service.

National legislators have welcomed the first batch of judicial interpretations of the Civil Code, regarding it as a strong step in promoting a fundamental and comprehensive civil law. The first batch involved seven interpretations of laws, including some related to property, labor disputes, marriage and family, and inheritance. They were released by the Supreme People's Court, the country's top court, at the end of last year. The interpretations and the code took effect on Jan 1.

China's grain output has exceeded 650 million metric tons for six consecutive years and the country has basically achieved self-sufficiency in terms of grain seeds, political adviser Wan Jianmin said during an interview before the opening of the fourth session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference on Thursday. "We have enough food to eat and can buy rice and wheat flour whenever we want," said Wan, who is also the vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He added that 96 percent of plantations in the country are using domestically cultivated crop varieties, and some of the rice varieties have already reached the same standards found in other rice producing nations such as Japan and Thailand. But there are still shortfalls still in some varieties and in market regulation, which should be enhanced with targeted policies and technologies to further ensure food security and help people eat well, Wan said. ... » Learn More about Self sufficiency ‘basically achieved’ in grain seeds

In recent years, artificial intelligence has been attracting increasing attention, money and talent. But much of the hype is the result of myths and misconceptions being peddled by people outside of the field. For many years, the field was growing incrementally, with existing approaches performing around 1-2 percent better each year on standard benchmarks. But there was a real breakthrough in 2012, when computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton and his colleagues at the University of Toronto showed that their "deep learning" algorithms could beat state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms by a margin of 10.8 percentage points on the ImageNet Challenge (a benchmark dataset). At the same time, AI researchers were benefiting from ever-more powerful tools, including cost-effective cloud computing, fast and cheap number-crunching hardware (GPUs), seamless data sharing through the internet, and advances in high-quality open-source software. Owing to these factors, machine learning, and ... » Learn More about Get real about artificial intelligence

The Supreme Court's query asking a rape accused whether he would marry the victim was based on 'judicial records' containing an undertaking of the man that he would marry the minor girl, a relative, after she attains 18 years of age, it was stated on Wednesday. The remarks by a three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde on Monday during the hearing of a plea of the accused, who had challenged the cancellation of his anticipatory bail by the Bombay high court's Aurangabad bench, had invited sharp reactions. Communist Party of India-Marxist politburo member Brinda Karat wrote to CJI Bobde and urged him to withdraw his remarks, saying that courts should not give an impression of supporting such 'retrograde' approaches. Several women's rights activists, eminent citizens, intellectuals, writers and artistes had also written an open letter to the CJI demanding an apology and retraction of his remarks. An apex court official termed the criticism as unfair and ... » Learn More about CJI’s ‘will you marry her’ query was based on judicial records: Official

NEW DELHI: India's northern state of Haryana , where several automakers, component suppliers and big tech firms are based, faces an investment and development crisis from a new hiring rule to tackle high unemployment, lobby groups warned on Thursday. The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry ( FICCI ) said the policy, which requires 75% of all low to mid-paying private-sector jobs to go to locals, would spell disaster for Haryana's "industrial development and private investment". The 10-year rule, applicable to jobs paying up to 50,000 rupees ($690) a month, came into effect this week in the state as it faces worsening unemployment as a result of the coronavirus crisis. Haryana's rule affects firms including India's biggest carmaker Maruti Suzuki and business process outsourcing firms such as Genpact. Apple , Facebook and Alphabet's Google also have their corporate offices in the state, which is ruled by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party. ... » Learn More about Indian state’s hiring rule spells disaster, industry group warns

New Delhi, Cyber security researchers have found a new malware that is tricking Google into treating hacked websites as trustworthy sources and presenting innocent users with apparently "perfect matches" to their search queries on the platform. The hackers are using the malware dubbed as "Gootloader to lure "well-meaning users" into installing the malware on their devices, putting them at ransomeware risk, according to the report by Naked Security, which is global cyber security firm Sophos's threat intelligence unit. The Gootkit malware family has been around more than half a decade -- a mature Trojan with functionality centered around banking credential theft. However, in recent years, almost as much effort has gone into improvement of its delivery method as has gone into the malware itself. This is how the modus operandi works. The hackers break into hundreds of web servers and implant artificially generated content containing phrases that search engines are likely ... » Learn More about Hackers lure users, install malware via Google Search
