    Carbon capture more costly than switching to renewables, researchers find
    https://techxplore.com/news/2025-02-carbon-capture-renewables.html
    These benefits, the authors say, could be realized at a fraction of the cost of implementing technologies that remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and capture it from stationary emitters like industrial smokestacks.

    Evolving intelligent life took billions of years − but it may not have been as unlikely as many scientists predicted
    https://theconversation.com/evolving-intelligent-life-took-billions-of-years-but-it-may-not-have-been-as-unlikely-as-many-scientists-predicted-249114
    Or maybe these innovations did happen only once, but because they could have happened only once. For example, perhaps the first evolutionary lineage to achieve one of these innovations quickly outcompeted other similar organisms from other lineages for resources. Or maybe the first lineage changed the global environment so dramatically that other lineages lost the opportunity to evolve the same innovation. In other words, once the step occurred in one lineage, the chemical or ecological conditions were changed enough that other lineages could not develop in the same way.

    Audio of Titan submersible's final moments before implosion released by Coast Guard
    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/02/12/titan-submersible-implosion-audio/78456914007/
    A new audio recording released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration appears to have captured the 2023 implosion of the Titan Submersible. In the 23-second-long clip released by the U.S. Coast Guard on Friday, listeners can hear a static-like sound grow louder and then a rolling boom. The audio goes silent seconds later. Officials called the noise the "suspected acoustic signature" of the implosion.

    Trump revokes $80 million from NYC after threat to claw back FEMA cash used to care for migrants
    https://www.nydailynews.com/2025/02/12/trump-revokes-80-million-nyc-after-threat-to-claw-back-fema-cash-used-to-care-for-migrants-musk/
    The Trump administration has revoked more than $80 million in funds from New York City bank accounts after Elon Musk earlier this week threatened to claw back FEMA money he claimed the city used to house migrants in “luxury hotels,” prompting City Hall to raise the possibility of legal action. The city received a payment of $80.5 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Shelter and Services Program on Feb. 4. But on Wednesday morning, city Comptroller Brad Lander discovered that FEMA abruptly canceled the disbursement, making the money disappear from the city’s coffers — a development Lander said he’d never before seen. Liz Garcia, a spokeswoman for Mayor Adams, confirmed the allocation was gone and said Adams’ office has “requested an emergency meeting with FEMA to try and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.”

    New York doctor says he'll continue providing transition care despite Trump executive order
    https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/new-york-doctor-says-continue-providing-transition-care-trump-executiv-rcna191289
    A New York City doctor said he will continue providing gender-affirming treatments to his patients younger than 19 despite President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to ban such care, because, the doctor said, these patients’ lives depend on it. “Until somebody calls me away, I’m just going to keep doing it,” said Dr. Jeffrey Birnbaum, a pediatrician and adolescent medicine specialist. He doesn’t think that will happen, he added, noting that New York Attorney General Letitia James issued a statement Monday telling doctors that state law requires them to continue providing such care. Birnbaum said Trump’s executive order seeking to restrict care, along with another that describes the idea that someone can be trans as “gender ideology,” denies the realities of the people he treats every day. “If somebody says the sky is green, just because they say it, doesn’t make the sky green,” Birnbaum said. “I’m looking at the medical literature, research that’s been done. I’m looking at real people in front of me. I’m not looking at some right-wing, religious ideologue who is referring to this as ‘gender ideology.’ It’s no ideology. They have the ideology. I’m dealing with science and medicine.”

    How Elon Musk and his DOGE goons are following the private equity playbook
    https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/elon-musk-doge-private-equity/
    For some, the chaos wrought by Elon Musk and his ironically-named Department of Government Efficiency feels strangely familiar. Mysterious outside consultants roaming the halls? The kind who appear to know nothing about the business they’re supposedly auditing for efficiency? Who push cuts into what they presume is fat, but is actually muscle, connective tissue, and Medicaid? The whole thing smells a lot like private equity.

    EXCLUSIVE: Hackers leak cop manuals for departments nationwide after breaching major provider
    https://www.dailydot.com/debug/lexipol-data-leak-puppygirl-hacker-polycule/
    Hackers leaked thousands of files from Lexipol, a Texas-based company that develops policy manuals, training bulletins, and consulting services for first responders. The manuals, which are crafted by Lexipol’s team of public sector attorneys, practitioners, and subject-matter experts, are customized to align with the specific needs and local legal requirements of agencies across the country. But the firm also faces criticism for its blanket approach to police policies and pushback on reforms. The data, a sample of which was given to the Daily Dot by a group referring to itself as “the puppygirl hacker polycule,” includes approximately 8,543 files related to training, procedural, and policy manuals, as well as customer records that contain names, usernames, agency names, hashed passwords, physical addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers. Among the manuals seen by the Daily Dot, agencies include police departments, fire departments, sheriff’s offices, and narcotics units.
