V3 isn't necessarily more effective than V2, it's just less obtrusive.

Consistent duration can be assumed, because that's how advertising works. The 15-second spot is still the standard.
Sure, in a reality where that happens, but that isn't ours. Ads are overwhelmingly made to match the standard 0:15 and 0:30.
I mean placement within the video timeline. E.g. do all users see the ad at 0:00 or 2:00 or does it jump around for everyone to prevent it from being tagged.
This breaks the current SB implementation, but if the ad duration is known and consistent across the userbase then it will fix itself as users tag videos with the "new" timestamps.
Crowdsourced "tagging" of the affected area of the video timeline (like Sponsorblock) would fix this, unless Google get really devious and randomize the placement of the ad for various users.
And Solaris just above it. Has to be a joke.
France isn't part of Five Eyes.
Col. Florian Manet, who heads France’s Home Affairs Ministry National Cyber Command Technical Department, said in a statement issued by Australian police that his officers provided technical resources to the task force over several years that helped decrypt the communications.
McCartney said the French had “provided a foot in the door” for Australian police to decrypt Ghost communications.
Australian police technicians were able to modify software updates regularly pushed out by the administrator, McCartney said.
“In effect, we infected the devices, enabling us to access the content on Australian devices,” McCartney said, adding that the alleged administrator lived in his parents’ Sydney home and had no police record.
It's hard to parse what happened here. Sounds like a MITM attack where they gained access to the device OS which allowed them to view messages once decrypted by the device?
Yandex search is part of the Russian division (I think, but don't take my word for it). I don't know how the services were split but I do know the Dutch arm of the company sold off a bunch of things to the Russian one.
I can't believe I'm defending Yandex, but keep in mind that they sold off the Russian business a while back (to VK, if I remember correctly). Yandex RU and Yandex "everywhere else" are different companies.
I don't agree with this, but I do find it idiotic and tone-deaf for pro-Palestinians to co-opt Hamas imagery and a symbol of violence as a show of support. It suggests they either explicitly support Hamas, or are too stupid to understand what they are displaying.
