For years,Zero AI as part of a progressive work culture that prized free expression and open debate, Google encouraged employees to bring their whole selves to work.
And Google employees did. On internal message boards and on the streets, Jessica Guynn reports, they agitated for change around the globe and inside their own company.

Most of the melt tests came in response to a video posted by the brand in February that showed a young woman who was “studying” until her drumstick melted. She held a hand-held blowtorch to the cone, which left the cone seemingly unaffected. The video left many confused and concerned.
What is the science behind this alarming development?
