Bluesky blocks Mississippi due to its new age verification law

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-04 04:30:49

Users with Mississippi IP addresses can no longer access the Bluesky app. The decentralized social media network has explained in a post that Mississippi's new age verification law for social networks "would fundamentally change" how it operates, and it wouldn't be possible to comply with its small team and limited resources. Bluesky says that while it does follow the UK's Online Safety Act, it works very differently from Mississippi's approach to age verification. In the UK, it's only required

Scientists Propose a Smarter Way to Hunt for Alien Radio Signals

gizmodo.com George Dvorsky 2025-11-04 03:00:31

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has yet to detect alien technosignatures like radio waves, but the cosmos is vast, and there are plenty of places left to look. New research suggests refining our search parameters by using our own broadcasts into deep space as a helpful guide. Research published earlier this week in Astrophysical Journal Letters suggests we search for alien signals by studying how we beam strong, directed transmissions during two-way communication with our de

Lightning declines over shipping lanes following regulation of sulfur emissions

news.ycombinator.com Chris Wright 2025-10-30 19:35:49

If you look at a map of lightning near the Port of Singapore, you’ll notice an odd streak of intense lightning activity right over the busiest shipping lane in the world. As it turns out, the lightning really is responding to the ships, or rather the tiny particles they emit. Using data from a global lightning detection network, my colleagues and I have been studying how exhaust plumes from ships are associated with an increase in the frequency of lightning. For decades, ship emissions steadil

Should the web platform adopt XSLT 3.0?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-05 04:56:12

What is the issue with the HTML Standard? Background This is a follow-up to #11523. That issue raises concerns regarding security issues, code maintainability, and the complexity of aging browser code currently used for rendering XML with XSLT stylesheets. I highly recommend reading through that issue first as it includes a good background of XSLT on the web as well as the specific concerns that may lead to deprecating XSLT as the most prudent option for browser vendors.

It’s uncommon, but not unheard of, for a GitHub issue to spark an uproar. That happened over the past month or so as the WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group, which I still say should have called themselves a Task Force instead) issue “Should we remove XSLT from the web platform?” was opened, debated, and eventually locked once the comment thread started spiraling into personal attacks. Other discussions have since opened, such as a counterproposal to update XSLT in the web

Why recycling isn’t enough to address the plastic problem

And looking into the future, emissions from plastics are only set to grow. Another estimate, from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, projects that emissions from plastics could swell from about 2 billion metric tons to 4 billion metric tons by 2060. This chart is what really strikes me and makes the conclusion of the plastic treaty talks such a disappointment. Recycling is a great tool, and new methods could make it possible to recycle more plastics and make it easier
