Australia said on Sunday it will push for greater powers to tackle the use of encrypted messaging services used by terrorists and criminals at an upcoming meeting of ministers from the “Five Eyes” intelligence network.The United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, will meet in the Canadian city of Ottawa next week, where they will discuss tactics to combat terrorism and border protection, two senior Australian ministers said.Australia has made it clear it wants tech companies to do much more to give intelligence and law enforcement agencies access to encrypted communications.“I will raise the need to address ongoing challenges posed by terrorists and criminals using encryption,” Australian Attorney General Senator Brandis said in a joint statement.“These discussions will focus on the need to cooperate with service providers to ensure reasonable assistance is provided to law enforcement and security agencies.”

Best Pokémon to evolve and power up in Pokémon Go — Updated for new Gyms! | iMore

Pokémon Go has revealed the big Gym redesign and here are the Pokémon you want to evolve and power up to attack, defend… and raid it!Update: Pokémon Go has seriously disadvantaged high CP Pokémon in the new Gym system. Any Pokémon over 3000 CP will now lose motivation at a rate of 10 CP an hour. Pokémon under 3000 CP will only lose motivation at a rate of 1 CP an hour. That, and other changes, will require us to redo our recommendations. While we’re testing and making an updated list, here’s your quick cheat-sheet: Blissey or Snorlax up to 2999 CP are currently the best defenders in the game by a mile. Elite attackers remain unchanged but you’ll need a wider variety of type matches due to the wider variety of Pokémon currently found in Gyms. When in doubt, Dragonite, Tyranitar, Vaporeon remain excellent generalists against anything and everything other than their direct counters.

U.S. Muslim group launches cellphone app to report hate crimes | Reuters

Hoping to get an accurate count of anti-Muslim hate crimes in the United States, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on Friday launched a mobile app allowing victims to report bias incidents.The group launched its Making Democracy Work for Everyone app a month after it reported a 44 percent surge in the number of hate crimes reported by U.S. Muslims last year. Concerned that the 260 hate crimes CAIR learned of last year represent just a fraction of the actual total, the group intends the app to increase reporting.”In a moment of trauma, you’re not thinking that I need to go online and enter something, but your phone will always be in your hand,” said Corey Saylor, who runs the group’s anti-Islamophobia efforts.The application allows a user to file a description of an alleged incident, whoch CAIR staff will then investigate. If the group concludes the incident was the result religious bias, it will include it in its reporting, and if it believes the incident was criminal, it will share the details with local police.
