Minerals represent potential biosignatures in the search for life on Mars

Chemical and sedimentological data indicate that reduced iron and sulfur were generated, mobilized and precipitated following the deposition of fine-grained oxidized iron- and phosphorous-bearing sediment. Except when found in authigenic nodules and reaction front rims, phosphate is not associated with a mineral phase (for example, there is no indication that apatite or merrillite are present; Fig. 4c).

Court rejects Verizon claim that selling location data without consent is legal

Verizon lost an attempt to overturn a $46.9 million fine for selling customer location data without its users' consent. The US Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit rejected Verizon's challenge in a ruling issued today. The Federal Communications Commission fined the three major carriers last year for violations revealed in 2018. The companies sued the FCC in three different courts, with varying results.

Even more so than the first time around, Melania Trump’s tenure as first lady thus far has been more notable for her absence than her presence. But that’s beginning to change.

A closer look at the AirPods Pro 3: ANC, Live Translation and heart-rate tracking

The AirPods Pro 3 are a big upgrade over the AirPods Pro 2. Even though Apple has continuously added new features to those earbuds over the last three years, it hasn’t changed the design or shape of the earbuds since the first model arrived in 2019. With the AirPods Pro 3, you might not notice those tweaks until you remove the new ear tips, and the most impactful upgrades are all on the inside.

What is Dotter? Dotter is a dotfile manager and templater. Dotfiles are configuration files that usually live in the home directory and start with a dot. Often times, it is desirable to have a backup of all the configurations on your system, which is why a lot of users have their dotfiles saved in a git repository, then symlinking them to their target locations using ln -s .

‘Traumatika’ Puts a Gruesome Spin on the Idea of Facing Your Demons

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-03 02:00:16

The new indie horror film Traumatika opens with a title card informing us of the “five forms of childhood trauma,” unsubtly announcing what’s about to happen over the next 80 minutes. Then we’re in the Egyptian desert, circa 1910, watching an anguished man bury a sinister-looking figurine in the sand. Only then do we arrive in the 21st century, where terrible things are very much afoot. The flashback adds a little bit of context, but it feels unnecessary; a cursed object is a not-uncommon horro

Jeff Kaufman shared some data around contra dance attendance as a function of requirements on wearing surgical masks. He compares this data to survey data, which is a useful way to validate in both directions. I found the plot compelling for a different reason – depending on how we look at it, we can draw wildly different conclusions from it. On the one hand, if we draw boxes around consecutive pairs of dances, it’s fairly obvious that mask-optional dances are more popular. Tickmarks at the top

According to court filings and reporting, the attacker repeatedly phoned Cognizant’s service desk, obtained repeated resets without meaningful verification, and used the resulting access to move quickly toward domain-admin footholds.
