Meet the cement transport ship that makes cement ingredients while sailing

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-07-26 14:11:50

Shipping has a pollution problem, but one company has a solution that does more than just eliminate a boat’s carbon dioxide. London-based Seabound has developed a carbon capture system that transforms CO 2 from the engine into limestone, a key ingredient in cement. Fittingly, the company has installed it aboard the UBC Cork, a cement carrier currently sailing through the Mediterranean Sea. When the ship docks in Norway, the limestone created from the voyage will be offloaded and used to make m

Six Years of Gemini

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-27 08:37:37

2025-06-20 - Six years of Gemini! Today is the sixth anniversary of the public announcement of Project Gemini! It's been a quiet year at geminiprotocol.net thus far. I've let two "Apollo days" slip by without a word. I'm about as disappointed in myself for this as I expect many folks are unsurprised by it. I do still have plans and clear ideas for finalising the minor oustanding spec issues. I'd tell people to look forward to something by Apollo 15 day (2025-11-03), but at this point, who'd be

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-07-28 14:53:08

An international law enforcement action dismantled a Romanian ransomware gang known as 'Diskstation,' which encrypted the systems of several companies in the Lombardy region, paralyzing their businesses. The law enforcement operation codenamed 'Operation Elicius' was coordinated by Europol and also involved police forces in France and Romania. Diskstation is a ransomware operation that targets Synology Network-Attached Storage (NAS) devices, which are commonly used by companies for centralized

Data brokers are selling flight information to CBP and ICE

news.ycombinator.com Paige Collings 2025-07-30 12:02:36

For many years, data brokers have existed in the shadows, exploiting gaps in privacy laws to harvest our information—all for their own profit. They sell our precise movements without our knowledge or meaningful consent to a variety of private and state actors, including law enforcement agencies. And they show no sign of stopping. This incentivizes other bad actors. If companies collect any kind of personal data and want to make a quick buck, there’s a data broker willing to buy it and sell it t

I Found Out Ring and Nextdoor's Rules on Posting About ICE Raids, Police and More

In a surprise trend of the year, a growing number of communities are using apps like Ring Neighbors and Nextdoor to discuss and track ICE immigration raids. These security apps and associated security cams and video doorbells weren't exactly intended to follow federal agents, but it's proven to be a popular effort in areas like California. While law enforcement retains the ability to request home security videos with a warrant, they aren't used to being on the receiving end of this technology.

Terra CO2 cements $124M Series B to slash concrete’s carbon footprint

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-08-17 18:49:51

Concrete has been around for millennia, but Terra CO2 thinks it has a better way to make the ubiquitous building material, and investors appear to agree. The Golden, Colorado-based startup recently closed a $124.5 million Series B to help bring its low-carbon cement replacement to market. Cement — the stuff that binds aggregate together to form concrete — weighs heavily on the climate. The CO 2 released by the chemical reaction that makes Portland cement, the most common type of cement, and th

Here’s why you should probably steer clear of Samsung’s online-exclusive colors

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-18 10:17:11

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung reportedly requires authorized service centers to color-match replacement parts, including internal components. As a result, users with Samsung-exclusive colorways have faced unexpected repair delays due to limited part availability. This raises concerns about the practicality of choosing Samsung-exclusive finishes. Samsung typically releases exclusive colors for its flagship devices, which are available only through its official web store. T

2025 has seen a growing home security practice unheard of a few short months ago: Neighborhoods are using their security cameras and doorbells to track police activity in their area, like ICE raids in California, and share the information via apps like Ring Neighbors. Law enforcement, which has grown accustomed to requesting home security videos for its own purposes, does not appear to be a fan of it used against their activities.

Android phones could soon warn you of “Stingrays” snooping on your communications

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-23 22:00:50

Smartphones contain a treasure trove of personal data, which makes them a worthwhile target for hackers. However, law enforcement is not above snooping on cell phones, and their tactics are usually much harder to detect. Cell site simulators, often called Stingrays, can trick your phone into revealing private communications, but a change in Android 16 could allow phones to detect this spying. Law enforcement organizations have massively expanded the use of Stingray devices because almost every

How to Write Compelling Software Release Announcements A release announcement showcases how the user’s experience is better today than it was yesterday. That sounds obvious, but most release announcements seem to forget that there’s a user at all. So many release announcements just enumerate new features in a way that’s totallly divorced from how real people use the software. The announcement is essentially just a changelog with better writing. For example, here’s a “changelog” style of annou

The US is on the brink of enacting rules for digital assets, with growing bipartisan momentum to modernize our financial system. But amid all the talk about innovation and global competitiveness, one issue has been glaringly absent: financial privacy. As we build the digital infrastructure of the 21st century, we need to talk about not just what’s possible but what’s acceptable.
