New comment by guidoiaquinti in "Electric cars produce less brake dust pollution than combustion-engine cars"

guidoiaquinti — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 09:42:41 +0000

I came across a really interesting video yesterday (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aubi3cK8Ym0) that touches on brake-dust pollution. It also explains how regenerative (kinetic-energy) charging can cut down on heat pollution, something I hadn’t realized before. That’s actually a big deal for underground metro systems; for instance, the London Tube keeps getting hotter every year.

New comment by guidoiaquinti in "Nationwide IT Chaos in the Netherlands After Defense Ministry Network Outage"

guidoiaquinti — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 11:06:24 +0000

A massive network outage at the Dutch Ministry of Defense has led to widespread IT disruptions across the Netherlands, grounding flights, crippling government services, and forcing police to resort to texting. The cause is still unclear, and authorities have yet to confirm whether it’s due to a cyberattack.

In 1984 KenThompson was presented with the ACM TuringAward. Ken's acceptance speech Reflections On Trusting Trust (http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html) describes a hack (in every sense), the most subversive ever perpetrated, nothing less than the root password of all evil.
