This is what BBC news articles look like nowadays: Every single sentence is its own paragraph, and I absolute cannot stand this “style” at all. I suspect the editors only care about making articles look nice in the mobile app.
IMHO, paragraphs are specifically meant to intuitively communicate which sentences belong together because of content/meaning. Just separating any sentences is what full stops do. If actually no two consecutive sentences belong together, the article is just incoh…

DraftKings acquires predictions platform Railbird
The sports betting giant is preparing to launch a new platform in the coming months called DraftKings Predictions.

““We visited a dark factory producing some astronomical number of mobile phones,” recalls Greg Jackson, the boss of British energy supplier Octopus.
“The process was so heavily automated that there were no workers on the manufacturing side, just a small number who were there to ensure the plant was working.
“You get this sense of a change, where China’s competitiveness has gone from being about government subsidies and low wages to a tremendous number of highly skilled, educated engineers who are innovating like mad.””

Fair Vote Canada is pleased to announce the Teacher Resources section of our website. The first teacher resource has now been added.
A Fair Vote? Rights, Responsibilities, and Decision-Making in a Democracy is an exciting new resource for Grade 5 Social Studies teachers, which was developed by the Elementary Teachers of Toronto and Fair Vote Canada.

Check out my latest CSO piece, which provides the key takeaways from the 2026 NDAA compromise bill released earlier this week, chief among which are provisions that protect the mobile communications of top brass and requirements to safeguard AI systems from digital threats.

Careless Whisper: Exploiting Silent Delivery Receipts to Monitor Users on Mobile Instant Messengers
With over 3 billion users globally, mobile instant messaging apps have become indispensable for both personal and professional communication. Besides plain messaging, many services implement additional features such as delivery and read receipts informing a user when a message has successfully reached its target. This paper highlights that delivery receipts can pose significant privacy risks to users. We use specifically crafted messages that trigger delivery receipts allowing any user to be pi…

Optimal Real-time Communication in 6G Ultra-Massive V2X Mobile Networks

Optimal Real-time Communication in 6G Ultra-Massive V2X Mobile Networks
This paper introduces a novel cooperative vehicular communication algorithm tailored for future 6G ultra-massive vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks leveraging integrated space-air-ground communication systems. Specifically, we address the challenge of real-time information exchange among rapidly moving vehicles. We demonstrate the existence of an upper bound on channel capacity given a fixed number of relays, and propose a low-complexity relay selection heuristic algorithm. Simulation results…

Bummed, I just noticed the Space Invaders: World Defense app doesn't really work anymore-- it doesn't connect to the servers or high scores, it errors out when you try and play outside.
Space Invaders: World Defense came out in 2023 and was really cool, it had an AR aspect, you could go outside and see the ships coming down in the real world. I messed around with it some back then and took some photos, but I can't find them. Should've messed around with it more then. I…
