Not aware of having seen any statements from the EC itself on the topic (it was approved by the EMA for all ages), but I think it unlikely the EC itself would have said anything, if only for one simple self-centred reason: It would be shoot

Based on the UK's approach to "first dose first", and the results of their early data from those who have been vacinated with one dose, the results are promising. Given the public policy goal is to prevent hospitals being ove

One of the challenges the EU often has when negotiating is dealing with the need for consensus among their 27 member states, and trying to reflect so many diverse political desires in negotiations. While the result is a "civil service&

I assume Rosetta 2 is downloaded as a .pkg installer on first use. Perhaps someone can capture the URL from network logs on a clean install. There might also be a way to find the files from the filesystem, if there is an "installer rec

People with access to low or zero cost surge electricity capacity, in areas near to where the ASICs can be manufactured, to minimise the lead-time between production and use. If you can get access to hydro electric energy, you can adapt you

Agreed, consider lucrative in air-quotes. The ineptitude of the current leadership has meant they've been less than lucrative! Destabilising the current fiasco would certainly be an improvement in my view.

A simpler alternative might be to place Nominet under clearer supervision from a more active government departmental supervisor. Ofcom already has many regulatory functions and is being pushed to expand into online harms as well now. Perhap

Nominet has been hell-bent on trying to get into lucrative side areas. They seem keen to heavily position themselves in anything they feel they can trade in their reputation as the UK's NIC. Anything involving a database or cyber-secur

I wouldn't assume a "unanimous" statement from the board was genuinely unanimous at this point. It's clear the executives at Nominet are hell-bent on trying to cling on through any means possible, including deception. Th

In a way this shouldn't be too important. Even if the second resolution can't be put at the EGM, the first can still pass and remove the people who are the root of the problems. I don't think anyone is really concerned about

Seems sensible. Interestingly, there's no persistent unique identifier on a UK passport (short of the personal details, which will be unique). But there's no SSN or equivalent on them, and no address. Passport number is a relative

There are some routes in government (that don't involve crapita or their ilk) for getting access to good people where there's a need to pay more than standard civil service rates. If you want to bring top-level talent in house, ra

Pricing transparency might be a sensible approach, but I imagine you'd need international agreement to do so in lock-step, to avoid unintended arbitrage between countries. Such a setup could also perhaps favour non-value-adding middlem

I wonder if this is the start of a course-correction that recognises search/basic discovery of information is probably "infrastructure", and that (perhaps) large social media platforms are becoming "public places".

I think the intention is to fund riskier investments that traditional VC would turn its nose up to and say "come back with an MVP and a customer". The internet is probably a cliche example, but it came out of DARPA as a resilient

The best workaround on recent android versions (although I agree on the limitations being quite annoying) is to (ab)use the private DNS feature for this - it lets you set a custom DNS server that is used for both WiFi and cellular data. Sam

This sounds like the modern OAuth-based sign-in flow (for IMAP and SMTP connections, authenticated by OAuth). This helps avoid app-specific passwords when you use 2FA, and lets users use their regular sign-in flow (which could include enter

FairEmail was made from scratch, and has modern (from the ground up) sync logic, that works well with modern battery saving measures in Android. Push mail by default, and low power consumption during sync. I believe it actually works better
