Super impressed so far

A hacker group with connections to China maintained unnoticed access to the computer network of the Eindhoven-based chip manufacturer NXP for over two years.

Ooooof

I’d completely forgotten this happened. Wild stuff.

The q&a is super interesting, strongly recommend reading past the headline here

I always understood tire deg to be microplastic/rubber not pm2.5. Brutal for the ecosystem around roadways and water bodies. Ultimately adding to the micro plastic pollution globally.

Of all the things in Canada that needs fixing such as health care, educational funding, climate change mitigation, green energy pivot, housing, cost of of living, they decide to bully the few children trying to live their best life. Fucking wild. And truely disappointing.

I think it’s trying to say that the gasoline cars have no fuel in them when transported (thus less fire risk) versus the batteries which can still burn when “empty” (which I doubt they are)

At least the front didn’t fall off

> Introduced by US representatives Warren Davidson and Sara Jacobs, the amendment, first reported by WIRED, would prohibit US military agencies from “purchasing data that would otherwise require a warrant, court order, or subpoena” to obtain. The ban would cover more than half of the US intelligence community, including the NSA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the newly formed National Space Intelligence Center, among others.

I guess I’m not surprised, but I didn’t realize they had warrantless access to these data. With the attacks on e2e in the UK this really drives home how important encryption.

I have, just many moons ago. I’ll take another read. Very pertinent

I don’t get it. It’s so strange.

Which book is this from?

Deserts are no joke. The great read of the missing Germans exemplifies the danger of these areas.

Detecting real video as fake seems problematic where it might lead to apathy – folks just don’t believe any video anymore. Similar to Trump’s “everything is fake news” approach

On Saturday night, flood water from a burst river bank poured into the underpass, quickly trapping people in their cars and commuters on a bus.

Ya that’s nightmare material

The main mystery is the fact that adults of the same insect species don’t have any gearing—as the juveniles grow up and their skin molts away, they fail to regrow these gear teeth, and the adult legs are synchronized by an alternate mechanism (a series of protrusions extend from both hind legs, and push the other leg into action).

Burrows and Sutton hypothesize that this could be explained by the fragility of the gearing: if one tooth breaks, it limits the effectiveness of the design. This isn’t such a big problem for the juveniles, who repeatedly molt and grow new gears before adulthood, but for the mature Issus, replacing the teeth would be impossible—hence the alternate arrangement.

Well that’s exceptionally neat

You may find this article helpful in why it still matters:

“My country’s emissions are so negligible, it doesn’t matter what we do. It won’t make a difference”. It’s true: the emissions of many countries in the world are completely dwarfed by a few big players. We see this in the chart below. But there are several reasons why rich countries with ‘negligible’ emissions need to step up to the challenge. What they do does matter.

Individual actions, while inconsequential, can help signal the market ( eg demand for ev infrastructure) and can add up when combined with federal regulations.

Oh damn you’re right. I got them confused sorry
