I wrote about Oura's security and privacy practices earlier this year for this.weekinsecurity.com, and found:
• Oura rings *don't* end-to-end encrypt users' health data;
• Oura *can* access its users' data;
• Oura told me that the company *has* received U.S. government demands for users' data.

I will be on RTE's The Business tomorrow morning to discuss my work on the gender pay gap. Show starts at ten and I expect to be the first guest on. Per usual, they'll have folks ringing in to say I'm talking nonsense, so if you're listening, please consider dropping them a message to say I'm not :D

In this paper, we provide the first comprehensive analysis of Grokipedia and compare it to a dump of Wikipedia, with a focus on article similarity and citation practices. Although Grokipedia articles are much longer than their corresponding English Wikipedia articles, we find that much of Grokipedia's content (including both articles with and without Creative Commons licenses) is highly derivative of Wikipedia.

Do I know anyone who know local history in Rathgar? Various bios of economist W. M. Gorman say that he went to "Mount Temple School, Rathgar" or "Mount Temple College", before 1941. I can't see a school of that name in Rathgar, and it is too early to be The High School or Mount Temple Comprehensive.
