That Fox News piece actually understates how big of a screw-up this was. The key quote that supposedly showed Trump Jr claiming his dad's possible real estate deal in Russia had faded away by 2016, the one that was supposedly contradicted by Cohen's court testimony about ongoing negotiations, was in response to questioning about any possible deals other than the one Cohen was involved in - and in particular one specific potential deal with a different group of people. It's not just that it was brought up elsewhere in other answers that NPR missed. Merely looking at the immediate context of that key quote, the most basic thing we should expect of old-fashioned fact checking, should've been enough to flag the problem. The fact those other negotiations had in fact been brought up was literally the whole basis for that line of questioning.

Those licenses made it effectively unavailable both to most countries which imported their rice and most countries that were self-sufficient. I think the two countries that had early trials may well have been the only two that were both eligible to make use of it and able to do so, and in at least one case that was a result of an error which resulted in them being counted as eligible when they weren't. They mostly seem to have been a PR stunt, something big biotech could point to and claim that they'd given the world a free solution to vitamin A deficiency that was being blocked by evil anti-GMO campaigners that wanted kids to go blind.

For context, there's been a huge amount of anger in the UK that was basically kicked off by the Guardian about how the UK's seas and rivers are catastrophically polluted with sewage by our water companies, we're supposedly the dirty man of Europe now, privatisation and Brexit has ruined everything and it's all getting worse, to the point it's likely to influence the next election. One of the big headline stories involved a British windsurfing champion leaving because it's like "surfing in a sewer"... and moving to Tenerife, where sewage treatment is objectively far worse and as mentioned there are sewage systems that just dump all their sewage out into the sea basically everywhere. (This is something that was fixed in the mainland UK decades ago post-privatisation, and in fact seems to be one of the big infrastructure improvements that privatisation was done to get funding for.) The rest of the coverage has been about as founded in reality as that.

When looking for information on this, I even ran across people that were presumably from there complaining on a forum about this and how it'd probably only get fixed if British tourists found out about it and started objecting. Guess there's little chance of that.

Most decent modern-ish receivers tend to have pretty speedy aquisition time without any assistance data. For example, the reasonably ancient GPS running watch I use can usually get a GPS lock in a couple of minutes from cold with no internet access (in a wrist-sized device running on battery!), and even the two decade old SiRFstarIII chipset is specced to have a sub-minute cold start time without assistance and much shorter with - though I think that chipset was pretty advanced for the time.
