Or, how about: someone tipped off the suspect, and then watched the news to see the fireworks. If the FBI knows the suspect received a call, that would give them a timeframe. Just one theory I can drum up.

The FBI already narrowed the scope to a 35 minute window before making the request. If that's the least-intrusive search and they can justify the need for the search, then they'll get their data.

Sure there is. If they didn't respect rights then they wouldn't be going through open court, they'd be using a dark court as is done w/ FISA. Or they would be requesting all records, not merely IP records for a very narrow 35-minute window.

Our rights aren't unlimited; they can be overridden by a court when compelling evidence is presented. As far as I have read, the FBI keeps referring to the deceased as a "child porn suspect" but never reported finding any evidence of that after the raid. For all we know, this was a situation similar to SWATing and they've got supporting evidence justifying why they think one of the people reading that article may be implicated. That's only one of many hypotheticals I can think up for why the FBI needs that info. All we've heard is the facts USA Today has chosen to share, even as they admit they don't know why the FBI wants the info.. and that's kind of the point: the FBI only has to divulge the specifics to the court, they're under no obligation to divulge investigation details to, nor convince USA Today of, the validity.

This. Twitch doesn't directly employ anyone because it gives them a deniable way to profit illegally from copyrighted works, while shifting the culpability to third parties. They aren't merely a streaming platform recouping their infrastructure costs.. they're actively promoting their specific brand and reaping significant profits from the streams.

They don't have to erase the video, they only have to stop the infringing distribution. This is why YouTube simply changes the video to private until you respond to the claim.

I don't disagree with copyright holders enforcing their copyrights against Twitch; I do however think that Twitch itself should be prosecuted over this. They've created a platform where streamers can create a brand, making a lot of money for themselves and Twitch. The media they're streaming, such as games, has embedded audio which violates the artist's copyright, and when the complaints are filed Twitch tries to pass the buck, blaming the streamers even though Twitch itself is fundamentally structured to exploit copyrighted works without authorization.

Yep. Suing your own clients is a sure-fire way to drive away new business.

...this is a joke, right?

I use Signal for a lot of conversations, but >90% of mine are in Hangouts because that's the platform my family and friends have converged upon. Works on both iOS and Android, plus the web interface is better than most.

Yea.. no. A huge swath of cellphones come with barometers, and have done for years.. and not simply flagship phones, not by a long shot. There's several reasons; yes, it does accelerate GPS acquisition, however the main purpose is increasing GPS accuracy. Having a secondary source of altitude information allows for higher-accuracy GPS fixes by serving as a correction factor. If you don't understand why, there's plenty of articles explaining. This is especially important for indoor GPS, which is increasingly common. Lots of multipath error there, and barometers allow for both direct estimation of your elevation, as well as sufficient correction to turn nearly-useless GPS fixes into sufficiently-accurate ones.

Thanks, I came here wondering wtf was up with that. It obviously couldn't mean it ran at 50 F ambient, because that would make it the only charger which got *colder* while in use. And given the ratio of C to F is 9/5... yea, 18 degrees.

That's still a trifle, unfortunately. I'd love an EV, but I would need an assigned EV parking space in the garage so that I could reasonably be confident in recharging every night. Possibly a rotation with another resident if we share two spots and have alternating days -- maybe. Depends on a lot. But regardless, I think a big hindrance to uptake is the unpredictability not only of finding charging points while traveling, but also of being able to charge at home or work due to the scarcity of the number of chargers available relative to the number of EVs already extant.
