[40]Methane Emissions From Gas Flaring Being Hidden From Satellite Monitors
[41](theguardian.com) [42]13

Posted by [43]BeauHD on Friday May 03, 2024 @11:30PM from the
now-you-see-it-now-you-don't dept.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian: Oil and gas equipment
intended to cut methane emissions is preventing scientists from accurately
detecting greenhouse gases and pollutants, a satellite image investigation has
revealed. Energy companies operating in countries such as the US, UK, Germany and
Norway [44]appear to have installed technology that could stop researchers from
identifying methane, carbon dioxide emissions and pollutants at industrial
facilities involved in the disposal of unprofitable natural gas, known in the
industry as flaring. Flares are used by fossil fuel companies when capturing the
natural gas would cost more than they can make by selling it. They release carbon
dioxide and toxic pollutants when they burn as well as cancer-causing chemicals.
Despite the health risks, regulators sometimes prefer flaring to releasing
natural gas -- which is 90% methane -- directly into the atmosphere, known as
"venting".
The World Bank, alongside the EU and other regulators, have been using satellites
for years to find and document gas flares, asking energy companies to find ways
of capturing the gas instead of burning or venting it. The bank set up the Zero
Routine Flaring 2030 initiative at the Paris climate conference to eradicate
unnecessary flaring, and its latest report stated that flaring decreased by 3%
globally from 2021 to 2022. But since the initiative, "enclosed combustors" have
begun appearing in the same countries that promised to end flaring. Experts say
enclosed combustors are functionally the same as flares, except the flame is
hidden. Tim Doty, a former regulator at the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality, said: "Enclosed combustors are basically a flare with an internal flare
tip that you don't see. Enclosed flaring is still flaring. It's just different
infrastructure that they're allowing.
"Enclosed flaring is, in truth, probably less efficient than a typical flare.
It's better than venting, but going from a flare to an enclosed flare or a vapor
combustor is not an improvement in reducing emissions". The only method of
detecting flaring globally is by using satellite-mounted tools called Visible
Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite of detectors (VIIRS), which find flares by
comparing heat signatures with bright spots of light visible from space. But when
researchers tried to replicate the database, they saw that the satellites were
not picking up the enclosed flares. Without the satellite data, countries were
forced to rely mostly on self-disclosed reporting from oil and gas companies,
researchers said. Environmentalists fear the research community's ability to
understand pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector could be
jeopardized.

[46]US Official Urges China, Russia To Declare AI Will Not Control Nuclear Weapons
[47]44

Posted by [48]BeauHD on Friday May 03, 2024 @08:50PM from the human-decisions
dept.
Senior Department arms control official Paul Dean on Thursday urged China and
Russia to declare that artificial intelligence [49]would never make decisions on
deploying nuclear weapons. Washington had made a "clear and strong commitment"
that humans had total control over nuclear weapons, said Dean. Britain and France
have made similar commitments. Reuters reports: "We would welcome a similar
statement by China and the Russian Federation," said Dean, principal deputy
assistant secretary in the Bureau of Arms Control, Deterrence and Stability. "We
think it is an extremely important norm of responsible behaviour and we think it
is something that would be very welcome in a P5 context," he said, referring to
the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.

[51]Apple Announces Largest-Ever $110 Billion Share Buyback As iPhone Sales Drop
[52](cnbc.com) [53]18

Posted by [54]BeauHD on Friday May 03, 2024 @08:10PM from the latest-numbers
dept.
Apple [55]reported fiscal second-quarter earnings that topped estimates, despite
a 10% drop in iPhone sales. The company also announced that its board had
[56]authorized $110 billion in share repurchases, "a 22% increase over last
year's $90 billion authorization," notes CNBC. "It's the largest buyback in
history, ahead of Apple's previous repurchases". From the report: Apple did not
provide formal guidance, but Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC's Steve Kovach that
overall sales would grow in the "low single digits" during the June quarter.
Apple posted $81.8 billion in revenue during the year-ago June quarter and LSEG
analysts were looking for a forecast of $83.23 billion. On an earnings call with
analysts, Apple finance chief Luca Maestri said the company expected the current
quarter will deliver double-digit year-over-year percentage growth in iPad sales.
What's more, he said the Services division is forecast to continue growing at
about the current high rate it's achieved during the past two quarters.
Apple reported net income of $23.64 billion, or $1.53 per share, down 2% from
$24.16 billion, or $1.52 per share, in the year-earlier period. Cook told CNBC
that sales in the fiscal second quarter suffered from a difficult comparison to
the year-earlier period, when the company realized $5 billion in delayed iPhone
14 sales from Covid-based supply issues. "If you remove that $5 billion from last
year's results, we would have grown this quarter on a year-over-year basis," Cook
said. "And so that's how we look at it internally from how the company is
performing".
Apple said iPhone sales fell nearly 10% to $45.96 billion, suggesting weak demand
for the current generation of smartphones, which were released in September. The
sales were in line with analyst estimates, and Cook said that without last year's
increased sales, iPhone revenue would have been flat. Mac sales were up 4% to
$7.45 billion, but they are still below the segment's high-water mark set in
2022. Cook said sales were driven by the company's new MacBook Air models which
were released with an upgraded M3 chip in March. Other Products, which is how
Apple reports sales of its Apple Watch and AirPods headphones, was down 10% year
over year to $7.9 billion.

[58]Humans Now Share the Web Equally With Bots, Report Warns [59](independent.co.uk)
[60]18

Posted by [61]BeauHD on Friday May 03, 2024 @07:30PM from the dead-internet dept.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Independent, published last month:
Humans [62]now share the web equally with bots, according to a major new report
-- as some fear that the internet is dying. In recent months, the so-called
"[63]dead internet theory" has gained new popularity. It suggests that much of
the content online is in fact automatically generated, and that the number of
humans on the web is dwindling in comparison with bot accounts. Now a [64]new
report from cyber security company Imperva suggests that it is increasingly
becoming true. Nearly half, 49.6 per cent, of all internet traffic came from bots
last year, its "Bad Bot Report" indicates. That is up 2 percent in comparison
with last year, and is the highest number ever seen since the report began in
2013. In some countries, the picture is worse. In Ireland, 71 per cent of
internet traffic is automated, it said.
Some of that rise is the result of the adoption of generative artificial
intelligence and large language models. Companies that build those systems use
bots scrape the internet and gather data that can then be used to train them.
Some of those bots are becoming increasingly sophisticated, Imperva warned. More
and more of them come from residential internet connections, which makes them
look more legitimate. "Automated bots will soon surpass the proportion of
internet traffic coming from humans, changing the way that organizations approach
building and protecting their websites and applications," said Nanhi Singh,
general manager for application security at Imperva. "As more AI-enabled tools
are introduced, bots will become omnipresent".

[66]Sony Will Soon Require 'Helldivers 2' PC Gamers To Link Their Steam Accounts To
PSN, Angering Users [67](gamesradar.com) [68]35

Posted by [69]BeauHD on Friday May 03, 2024 @06:50PM from the
thanks-for-the-heads-up dept.
"Players who made Steam purchases of Helldivers 2 are now, months after the fact,
being told by Sony that their games [70]will be useless unless linked to a PSN
account," writes longtime Slashdot reader [71]Baron_Yam. From a report: Publisher
Sony Interactive Entertainment [72]announced today that Helldivers 2 players on
Steam will soon be required to link their in-game profiles to a PlayStation
Network account -- a feature that was optional at launch due to "technical
issues" -- or risk losing access to the game. SIE explained that account linking
allows players to take advantage of "safety and security" provided by
PlayStation, as it can more easily protect folks from "griefing and abuse by
enabling the banning of players that engage in that type of behavior".
Many Steam players haven't responded well to the news. As of the time of writing,
over 2,500 negative user reviews have been submitted to the [73]game's storefront
page today, blemishing an otherwise spotless "Very Positive" rating. Some reviews
cite data harvesting and security concerns as potential worries. Others point to
the fact that Sony waited months after launch to make account linking mandatory.
How this affects players in regions that don't have access to the PlayStation
Network is a bigger concern, though. In the Helldivers 2 Discord, community
manager Thomas 'Twinbeard' Petersson said they aren't yet sure what these rule
changes meant for players in areas without PSN access, which could be another
factor contributing to the negative downturn.

[75]Senators Want Limits On TSA Use of Facial Recognition Technology For Airport
Screening [76](pbs.org) [77]22

Posted by [78]BeauHD on Friday May 03, 2024 @06:10PM from the cease-and-desist
dept.
A bipartisan group of senators, led by Jeff Merkley, John Kennedy, and Roger
Marshall, is [79]advocating for limitations on the Transportation Security
Administration's use of facial recognition technology due to concerns about
privacy and civil liberties. PBS reports: In [80]a letter on Thursday, the group
of 14 lawmakers called on Senate leaders to use the upcoming reauthorization of
the Federal Aviation Administration as a vehicle to limit TSA's use of the
technology so Congress can put in place some oversight. "This technology poses
significant threats to our privacy and civil liberties, and Congress should
prohibit TSA's development and deployment of facial recognition tools until
rigorous congressional oversight occurs," the senators wrote.
The effort, led by Sens. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., John Kennedy, R-La., and Roger
Marshall, R-Kan., "would halt facial recognition technology at security
checkpoints, which has proven to improve security effectiveness, efficiency, and
the passenger experience," TSA said in a statement. The technology is currently
in use at 84 airports around the country and is planned to expand in the coming
years to the roughly 430 covered by TSA.

[82]AI Engineers Report Burnout, Rushed Rollouts As 'Rat Race' To Stay Competitive Hits
Tech Industry [83](cnbc.com) [84]27

Posted by [85]BeauHD on Friday May 03, 2024 @05:30PM from the
speed-above-everything dept.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNBC: Late last year, an artificial
intelligence engineer at Amazon was wrapping up the work week and getting ready
to spend time with some friends visiting from out of town. Then, a Slack message
popped up. He suddenly had a deadline to deliver a project by 6 a.m. on Monday.
There went the weekend. The AI engineer bailed on his friends, who had traveled
from the East Coast to the Seattle area. Instead, he worked day and night to
finish the job. But it was all for nothing. The project was ultimately
"deprioritized," the engineer told CNBC. He said it was a familiar result. AI
specialists, he said, commonly sprint to build new features that are often
suddenly shelved in favor of a hectic pivot to another AI project.
The engineer, who requested anonymity out of fear of retaliation, said he had to
write thousands of lines of code for new AI features in an environment with zero
testing for mistakes. Since code can break if the required tests are postponed,
the Amazon engineer recalled periods when team members would have to call one
another in the middle of the night to fix aspects of the AI feature's software.
AI workers at other Big Tech companies, including Google and Microsoft, told CNBC
about the [86]pressure they are similarly under to roll out tools at breakneck
speeds due to the internal fear of falling behind the competition in a technology
that, according to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, is having its "iPhone moment".

[88]Germany Says Russia Will Face Consequences For 'Intolerable' Cyberattack
[89](france24.com) [90]26

Posted by msmash on Friday May 03, 2024 @04:50PM from the tussle-continues dept.
An anonymous reader shares a report: Relations between Russia and Germany were
already tense, with Germany providing military support to Ukraine in its ongoing
war with Russia. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Russian state
hackers were behind a cyberattack last year that targeted the Social Democrats,
the leading party in the governing coalition. "Russian state hackers attacked
Germany in cyberspace," she said at a news conference in the Australian city of
Adelaide. "We can attribute this attack to the group called APT28, which is
steered by the military intelligence service of Russia".
"This is absolutely intolerable and unacceptable and [91]will have consequences,"
she said. The Russian Embassy in Germany on Friday denied Moscow was involved in
a 2023 cyberattack. In a statement the embassy said its envoy "categorically
rejected the accusations that Russian state structures were involved in the given
incident ... as unsubstantiated and groundless". The Council of the EU later said
that Czechia's institutions have also been a target of the cyber campaign. In a
statement by the EU's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, the bloc's nations said they
"strongly condemn the malicious cyber campaign conducted by the Russia-controlled
Advanced Persistent Threat Actor 28 (APT28) against Germany and Czechia". Further

[94]Florida Bans Lab-Grown Meat [95]141

Posted by msmash on Friday May 03, 2024 @04:10PM from the big-beef dept.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill this week banning and [96]criminalizing
the manufacture and sale of lab-grown meat in the state. From a report: The
legislation joins similar efforts from three other states -- Alabama, Arizona and
Tennessee -- that have also looked to stop the sale of lab-grown meat, which is
believed to still be years away from commercial viability. "Florida is fighting
back against the global elite's plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a
petri dish or bugs to achieve their authoritarian goals," DeSantis said. "We will
save our beef".
Lab-grown meat, also known as cultivated meat, has attracted considerable
attention in recent years as startups have raised millions of dollars to improve
the technology meant to create a climate-friendly alternative to traditional meat
sources. Cultivated meat is usually grown in a metal vessel from a sample of
animal cells. They multiply in a container called a bioreactor while being fed
with water, amino acids, vitamins and lipids -- a process that can be difficult
to do at scales large enough to create enough food for commercial sale. Still,
some companies have made strides, with two California startups receiving approval
from U.S. regulators last year to sell lab-grown chicken. Those companies said
Florida's bill stifles innovation in a space that is becoming competitive
globally.

[98]Britain's Climate Action Plan Unlawful, High Court Rules [99](theguardian.com)
[100]12

Posted by msmash on Friday May 03, 2024 @03:41PM from the closer-look dept.
The UK government's climate action plan is unlawful, [101]the high court has
ruled, as there is not enough evidence that there are sufficient policies in
place to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. From a report: The energy secretary,
Claire Coutinho, will now be expected to draw up a revised plan within 12 months.
This must ensure that the UK achieves its legally binding carbon budgets and its
pledge to cut emissions by more than two-thirds by 2030, both of which the
government is off track to meet. The environmental charities Friends of the Earth
and ClientEarth took joint legal action with the Good Law Project against the
Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) over its decision to approve
the carbon budget delivery plan (CBDP) in March 2023.
In a ruling on Friday, Mr Justice Sheldon upheld four of the five grounds of the
groups' legal challenge, stating that the decision by the former energy security
and net zero secretary Grant Shapps was "simply not justified by the evidence".
He said: "If, as I have found, the secretary of state did make his decision on
the assumption that each of the proposals and policies would be delivered in
full, then the secretary of state's decision was taken on the basis of a mistaken
understanding of the true factual position".
The judge agreed with ClientEarth and Friends of the Earth that the secretary of
state was given "incomplete" information about the likelihood that proposed
policies would achieve their intended emissions cuts. This breached section 13 of
the Climate Change Act, which requires the secretary of state to adopt plans and
proposals that they consider will enable upcoming carbon budgets to be delivered.
Sheldon also agreed with the environment groups that the central assumption that
all the department's policies would achieve 100% of their intended emissions cuts
was wrong. The judge said the secretary of state had acted irrationally, and on
the basis of an incorrect understanding of the facts. This comes after the
Guardian [102]revealed the government would be allowing oil and gas drilling
under offshore wind turbines, a decision criticised by climate experts as "deeply
irresponsible".

China [107]launched an uncrewed lunar mission Friday that aims to bring back
samples from the far side of the moon for the first time, in a potentially major
step forward for the country's ambitious space program. From a report: The
Chang'e-6 probe -- China's most complex robotic lunar mission to date -- blasted
off on a Long March-5 rocket from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in south
China's Hainan island, where space fans had gathered to watch the historic
moment. The country's National Space Administration said the launch was a
success. The launch marks the start of a mission that aims to be a key milestone
in China's push to become a dominant space power with plans to land astronauts on
the moon by 2030 and build a research base on its south pole.
It comes as a growing number of countries, including the United States, eye the
strategic and scientific benefits of expanded lunar exploration in an
increasingly competitive field. China's planned 53-day mission would see the
Chang'e-6 lander touch down in a gaping crater on the moon's far side, which
never faces Earth. China became the first and only country to land on the moon's
far side during its 2019 Chang'e-4 mission. Any far-side samples retrieved by the
Chang'e-6 lander could help scientists peer back into the evolution of the moon
and the solar system itself -- and provide important data to advance China's
lunar ambitions.

Posted by msmash on Friday May 03, 2024 @01:30PM from the how-about-that dept.
An anonymous reader shares a report: A software engineer has been [112]keeping
nearly 7,500 Firefox tabs open on her Mac computer for over two years -- and
doesn't plan on closing them anytime soon. The Firefox power user, who goes by
the pseudonym "Hazel" online, posted a screenshot showing 7,470 tabs open earlier
this week after finding the browser initially unable to restore all the tabs.
Hazel was able to bring the tabs back to life via a Firefox profile cache,
however, and tells PCMag that reloading the full session took "no more than a
minute".
"I feel like a part of me is restored," Hazel wrote on X once the Firefox tabs
had returned. The Firefox fan tells PCMag in a message that she keeps so many
tabs open for nostalgia reasons. "I like to scroll back and see clusters of tabs
from months ago -- it's like a trip down memory lane on whatever I was
doing/learning about/thinking about," she says. Surprisingly, all those tabs
haven't impacted the computer's performance. "Firefox is quite memory efficient
and isn't actually loading the websites unless I click on the tab -- so it's not
very resource intensive," Hazel says.

[114]Microsoft Overhaul Treats Security as 'Top Priority' After a Series of Failures
[115]47

Posted by msmash on Friday May 03, 2024 @12:40PM from the fwiw dept.
Microsoft is making [116]security its number one priority for every employee,
following years of security issues and mounting criticisms. The Verge: After
[117]a scathing report from the US Cyber Safety Review Board recently concluded
that "Microsoft's security culture was inadequate and requires an overhaul," it's
doing just that by outlining a set of security principles and goals that are tied
to compensation packages for Microsoft's senior leadership team. Last November,
Microsoft announced a Secure Future Initiative (SFI) in response to mounting
pressure on the company to respond to attacks that allowed Chinese hackers to
breach US government email accounts.
Just days after announcing this initiative, Russian hackers managed to
[118]breach Microsoft's defenses and [119]spy on the email accounts of some
members of Microsoft's senior leadership team. Microsoft only discovered the
attack nearly two months later in January, and the same group even went on to
steal source code. These recent attacks have been damaging, and the Cyber Safety
Review Board report added fuel to Microsoft's security fire recently by
concluding that the company could have prevented the 2023 breach of US government
email accounts and that a "cascade of security failures" led to that incident.
"We are making security our top priority at Microsoft, above all else -- over all
other features," explains Charlie Bell, executive vice president for Microsoft
security, in a blog post today. "We will instill accountability by basing part of
the compensation of the company's Senior Leadership Team on our progress in
meeting our security plans and milestones".

Posted by msmash on Friday May 03, 2024 @12:02PM from the moving-forward dept.
[124]Plumpaquatsch writes: Investigators teamed up with colleagues from the
Balkans and Lebanon in raids set up by months of intense surveillance.
Authorities say the operation [125]thwarted over 10 million euro in damages and
led to 21 arrests.
Dubbed 'Operation Pandora,' the sting began in Germany in December 2023, after a
suspicious bank teller contacted police when a 76-year-old customer from Freiburg
sought to hurriedly withdraw 120,000 euro ($128,232) from her savings account to
hand over to a fake police officer. When real police investigators tracked the
internet-based telephone number that had been used to lure the woman, they
discovered a veritable goldmine.
Rather than shutting down the number, authorities instead went on the offensive,
setting up their own call center in which hundreds of officers from
Baden-Wurttemberg, Bavaria, Berlin and Saxony worked around the clock monitoring
some 1.3 million calls in real time, as the number from the initial scam was tied
to an entire network of fraud call centers. Police were able to trace and record
data from the calls, as well as warn potential victims of what was in fact
happening, in turn winning valuable time to put together the April 18 sting.
Police say their efforts allowed them to thwart some 10 million euro in damages
in roughly 6,000 cases of attempted fraud.

offers anonymity with the option for the state auditor to contact submitters for
