Looking at the reconstruction, it's somewhat surprising there weren't more fatalities considering the size of the drop. https://youtu.be/PoX4dTM9qvo?t=112

Judging by the demos[1] they've shown and changes they've made to the Oculus software like homes, it seems like their long term goal is for it to be the basis of a google glass like system that's more environmentally aware an

50,000-120,000 might be small enough of a selection to be difficult to detect in a population of 2.5 million in 1776 when transportation ended.

It sounds like they're talking about the Rockies to me as well. I think the thought is perhaps everything between California and Oklahoma = Midwest.

A emerging secondary capability seems likely to be the ability to quickly launch low orbit or temporary platforms, either on board a rocket or via something like a Pegasus xl strapped to a plane, or flying objects like balloons (Loon) or dr

It makes a lot of sense to me in the realm of experimental and classified aircraft. Easier to leak junk designs and call sightings UFOs than keep things secret squirrel. According to the CIA half of the UFO sightings in the 50-60s were U-2s

There's been a similar amount of shutdown on 5G tower conspiracies after they resulted in vandalization, arson and even a shooting. 17 towers were attacked in New Zeland alone[1] for example, and plenty elsewhere.[2] As a result 5G gro

One potential example is the seeded Supermicro chipsets that bloomberg ran a big piece on, though that's still somewhat up in the air as far as I know. Generally though it's quite hard to tell what's real.

In school when learning to type we had keyboard covers that looking now seem to be called "speedskins", that went over the keyboard and kept you from peeking. It looks like they make them for Macbooks as well. They never quite fit

It's a bit of a tortured metaphor, but I think RPG stats are a fairly good analogy. Most people or characters get their stats distributed fairly evenly, and get about the same amount of points to distribute, whereas some people get the

The roll out of the current system was fairly slow and based on response to changes in TF2. Initially weapons were tied to in game achievements, and later a random drop system as well. Cosmetic hats were added to the drop pool in 09, and in

In a small group your social relationship with every other person matters, as you're going to be seeing them again, and you're also more familiar with them as a person. It's kind of like being rude to someone living in a smal

I don't want to jump in on the topic of whether Sweden's response was correct, but there is data to indicate that there is likely some other factor, possibly vitamin D deficiency, at play in addition to social factors. In the UK t
