Facebook has been exposed as utter garbage yet again. The company allegedly hired a political research firm to spread a conspiracy theory about its critics. And yes, the conspiracy theory reportedly involves George Soros. The yeezy New York Times has the bombshell new story about the way that Facebook has conducted damage control in the wake of reports about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and the Cambridge Analytica scandal. And the enormous story includes this interesting tidbit [emphasis ours]: While Mr. Zuckerberg conducted a public apology tour in the last year, Ms. [Sheryl] Sandberg has overseen an aggressive lobbying campaign to combat Facebooks critics, shift public anger toward rival adidas campus 80s companies and ward off damaging regulation. Facebook employed a Republican opposition-research firm to discredit activist protesters, in part by linking them to the liberal financier George Soros. It also tapped its business relationships, persuading a Jewish civil rights group to cast some criticism of the company as anti-Semitic. According to the report, Facebook used Definers, an oppo research firm, to take on bigger opponents, such as Mr. Soros. The story describes a research document circulated by the oppo firm as having cast Mr. Soros as the unacknowledged force behind what appeared to be a broad anti-Facebook movement.

The Fort Worth Police Department must have someone there who really, really likes Star Wars, or they just want to capitalize on Disneys new annual tradition.

In the first video, released in December 2015, Darth Vader interviewed for a job on the force but was rejected for his overuse of The Force. This time around, he sent a Stormtrooper in his place, to try and land a spot on the squad with some target practice. Only problem is, stormtroopers cant shoot for shit. Sure, that trope might be the oldest joke in the book, but hey 8230;its fun to watch the guy slowly inch forward as he tries to get close enough to reach the target.

It is important to note that, while this video mi air max 2 ght be fun and uplifting, the Fort Worth Police Department like many other police departments has been known to share alleged crime videos on Facebook, which have the tendency to publicly shame someone before theyve even been brought into custody.

So no, the image above isnt a movie still: Its real scene from the new Fawn fire. The Fawn fire began on Wednesday in the Mount yeezy ain Gate area near the city of Redding, which is located on Interstate 5 about two and half hours north of Sacramento. By Thursday, the fire had consumed more than 5,000 acres, threatened 2,000 structures, destroyed 25 structures, and prompted the evacuation of 4,000 people in Shasta County. The situation has affected 30,000 people, with Sheriff M asics gel ichael Johnson declaring a local county emergency early Thursday. According to the latest update from Cal Fire, the Fawn fire is burning in steep, rugged terrain, which makes it difficult for firefighters to contain it. In addition, the department stated that windy conditions overnight on Wednesday caused the fire to spot in many areas. The Fawn fire is currently 5% contained. Although a Cal Fire Shasta Trinity聽unit spokeswoman told the Los Angeles Times that the cause of the fire was still under investigation, the department said in a news statement that it had arrested a woman suspected of causing the fire.

This weeks Doctor Who saw the Monk trilogy come to its end, as team TARDIS found themselves battling through a dystopian Britain literally being brainwashed by fake news. Its a timely take on our modern world, but The Lie of the Land disappointingly threw out its most interesting premise by committing the exact same sin. The first 15 minutes or so of The Lie of the Land are honestly quite amazing. Not since Marthas journey ac skechers arbeitsschuhe ross the Master-ruled Earth in The Sound of Drums/The Last of the Timelords has Doctor Who really thrust its companion into a miserable, occupied Earth on their own for a trip through the emotional wringer. But crocs absatz Marthas journey was about hope, about enacting a plan to save the world herself; Bills journey is about having hope in the Doctor, only to have that hope brutally snuffed out. The whole premise of the episode is that the Monks have convinced humanity that theyve been there helping and guiding Earth for millennia, a false truth that allows them to eliminate all dissidents and oppress the world. Worst, the Doctor himself is spreading their propaganda. When Bill and Nardole, dragged along for the ride finally gets the break she needs to find the Doctor and free him from the Monks control only, shes gut-punched by the reveal he is willingly working with them, in one of the darkest moments of Doctor Who this entire season.

Finding a new podcast you actually like is easier said than done. Its a task that requires tim adidas samba donna e, effort, and a good chunk of your attention. Spotify wants to make this tedious process easier and is betting that podcast discovery technology developed by a startup will help its users find and get hooked on new shows. The company yeezy foam announced on Thursday that it had acquired the podcast discovery platform Podz, a startup that developed a so-called audio newsfeed that features 60-second clips from different podcasts. Heres where the technology comes in: Instead of simply reproducing the clips chosen by podcast creators, Podz uses a machine learning model to select clips of shows bes adidas campus herren t moments. This allows users to preview a variety of podcasts in minutes rather than listening to entire 30- or 60-minute shows. Spotify said that combining Podz with its 2.6 million podcast repertoire, learnings from its previous work in music discovery, and current investments in podcast recommendation will allow it to take podcast discovery to the next level. Altogether, the company maintains that it will be easier for users to find shows they like and for podcast creators to build a fan base. Spotify has had machine learning experts focused on improving audio discovery for almost a decade, but there is more work to be done, the company said in a news announcement. We believe that Podz technology will complement and accelerate Spotifys focused efforts to drive discovery, deliver listeners the Irli Ford Just Patented an Absurd Movie Screen Windshield For Driverless Cars
To learn more about why some germs seem harder to kill in near-weightless conditions, scientists aboard the ISS recently doused a batch of bacteria with antibiotics鈥攁n experiment which resulted in a series of startling physical changes that may be helping the bacteria to survive and thrive in space. Whether we like it or not, bacteria are going to be our air force 1 partners as we venture out into space. Its imperative, therefore, that we learn as much about these microorgan salomon xt 6 isms as possible in the event an astronaut develops a life-threatening infection, or to prevent problematic biofilm formation inside the ISS and other spacecraft such as a ship en route to Mars . As previous studies have shown, bacteria behave differently in space, in some cases acquiring mutations that make them better at reproduction and more resilient to the effects of antibiotics. A new study published in Frontiers in Microbiology is the first to track the physical changes in bacteria, specifically the E. coli strain, after exposure to antibiotics. The new research is providing fresh insights into how bacteria adapt to antibiotics, and its helping scientists find ways to thwart their high degree of adaptability. In an experiment conducted aboard the ISS, researchers with CU Boulders BioServe Space Technologies exposed cultures of E. coli bacteria with various doses of the antibiotic gentamicin sulfate.

Last December, an astronaut with NASA was fired for submitting over $1,600 in fake reimbursements for taxis they didnt take. And strangely enough, we dont know who it is. Gizmodo filed a Freedom of Information Act FOIA request with NASAs Office of the Inspector General OIG on the incident after reading about it in the latest Semiannual Report to Congress. The name of the astronaut has been redacted by NASA.

Apparently, the astronaut submitted 15 receipts from 2012 through May 2015 claiming reimbursement for commercial transportation rides and taxis that they didnt take. The total submitted by the unnamed astronaut was $1,635.70 and they were reimbursed $1,265.31.

Amid the life-threateningly urgent climate crisis, its bad enough to pollute the planet with聽greenhouse gases. But to add insult to injury, some of the people and firms responsible for that pollution have tried to dress themselves up as climate heroes. You know the type: the ones who spent 2020 hiding behind gentle, Earth-friendly language to hide their Earth-destroying agendas. These are some of the biggest climate grifters of 2020. Jeff Bezos and Amazon Ah, Amazon, a true climate hero.

All of the orangutans in the world would probably only fit into a college football stadium. Today, scientists are announcing that just one of the sections of that stadium is actually an entirely different species. And its already in danger. The international team identified Pongo tapanuliensis based on skull shape and genetic data from an isolated population of 800 orangutans in the Sumatran Batang Toru ecosystem. This number was almo reebok st certainly much larger in the past. The scientists had few samples for their research, but the robust analysis convinced them of the differences in this tiny group. We realized that these guys were special, study author Michael Kr眉tzen from the University of Z眉rich told Gizmodo. Hints to a new orangutan species began popping up i samba rose n genetic data a few years ago, explained Kr眉tzen. P. tapanuliensis has genetic markers in its mitochondrial DNA, a special set of DNA passed only from mothers to children, that looked more similar to the聽Bornean orangutans than the nearby Sumatran ones. The team also acquired a P. tapanuliensis skull, whose shape seemed to differ substantially from the skulls of the other species. A genetic analysis revealed that the new species likely split from the rest of the Sumatran population around 3.4 million years ago. They intermingl af1 ed with the other Sumatran species occasionally, but this seemed to stop completely between 10 and 20,000 years ago. Female orangutans typically stay put, so any genetic material flowing bet
