From TFA:

If this cooperation agreement isn't in place, the only alternative left for law enforcement is to issue a European Investigation Order (EIO), but responses for these can take up to 120 days, which isn't ideal when you want to catch a drug dealer who's only in the country for a weekend.

So, instead of campaigning to get those responses speeded up they want to do away with the entirety of PET.

There's something to be said for not charging "too fast" as it will mean the battery/phone getting hotter whilst that happens. Pixels have a feature where it'll learn your nightly habits and aim to be 100% charged something like 30 minutes before you'll wake up, trickle charging the whole time.

I suggest you go to TFURL that I linked and read the details of the experiment, rather than us going back and forth with me pasting relevant parts. For instance all participants were still receiving the other support they normally would have. That's both a confounding factor for the money side of the study and also a possible explanation for the gains by all groups.

Again, there were differences in the groups that received more money, just not in all areas.

Now, the actual project's own reporting does echo this:

The number of participants who reported stably housed doubled in all payment groups from enrollment to the ten-month mark. This jump was statistically significant amongst all groups.

But, you appear to be ignoring:

And participants in those two groups reported an increase in full-time work, while the control group reported decreased full-time employment.

Specifically Group A ($1k pcm) 18% to 23%, Group B (Lump Sum) 24% to 37% and Group C ($50 pcm) 26% to 21% (a decrease).

And do I actually have to point out that $50 pcm is not nothing. For some of these people that alone could have made a difference. I'm guessing the researchers judged that they needed to offer all particpants some remuneration to help gurantee their continued involvement, hence not having a "paid nothing extra" control group.

Also the tier of Prime Video you'd be on with a free trial is the one with embedded ads. Drove me nuts watching a few things recently.

I tried DDG searches periodically throughout the Bing outage.

Initially they all returned a flat out error message, after a timeout. Literally no results. No way to "try again with ".

Later on there was a message about having problems, with hints about how to have DDG just go query Google (or some others I forget). For Google it was to start the query "!g ". I believe it then literally just performed a redirect to that other search engine.

So, yes, it does seem that in order to return any results DDG was 100% dependent on Bing on that day. Obviously they might be rethinking that now.

Can you tell I was typing that reply on my phone at the end of a long day ?

Despite those statements DDG search was entirely hamstrung when Bing search was down. So, even if the statements are true in the sense that other sources are used to augment results, and possibly used solely for certain classes of queries, of Bing is returning "bad" results then DDG if likely to do so as well.

... if you use any sort of browser configuration or extension to initiate searches then it appears that:

udm=14

in the URL query parameters selects this new 'Web' option.

Of course we can fully expect Google to change that at some point in the future to rug pull the trick.

Whilst there was a time period where DSA was recommended over RSA, DSA was subsequently found to have its own issues and has been deprecated for years. Although that's in part because OpenSSH has hardcoded the key size at 1024 bits. See https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurity.stackexchange...

Yeah, I think this is the journalist/author of TFA just abusing 'GPS' to mean "any form of location tracking".

This will have nothing to do with actual GPS location determination. It's just using the cell phone towers' idea of a phone's location (trilaterate on the distance, derviced from signal delay, versus 3+ nearby towers).

And yet another term gets abused into being nonsense.

Also, for anyone else in the EU not able to RTFA because of a geoblock: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.archive.org%2Fweb%2F20...

Case in point, what is the example in TFA ?

"Vulcan (Salute)" "Rocket/Space" "Web" "Look" ? Something to do with the Vulcan Centaur rocket ?

Ah, and reading other comments I see that it's more like:

Sea's "Free Fire" Among Apps (that) India Bans on China Security Fear.

This, so much this.

"(Sea's) (Free Fire Among Apps) that (India Bans) (on China Security Fear)" is about the best conclusion I could come to.
