The VR revolution hasnt swept the world like a lot of people thought it would adidas samba schuhe , and though I still have confidence in the medium as a whole, modern VR also has a lot of room for improvement when it comes to comfort, optics, and affordability. Enter the Reverb. Designed for both commercial and home use, while HPs handset doesnt entirely solve some of the biggest issues with todays VR headsets, it offers a number of improvements in those three big areas. Starting with the headset itself, both the enterprise and consumer vers adidas samba uomo ions feature essentially the same design with a few minor tweaks. On the consumer version, the Reverb gets a removable, machine washable cloth face mask that should help prevent the headset from getting extra funky. The commercial model opts for a pleather face mask thats easier to quickly wipe down between users, and a dual-pronged cable with short an yeezy slide d long cords that make the Reverb better accustomed to working with VR backpacks and traditional tether desktop rigs. Compared to a Vive Pro, the HP Reverb is significantly lighter and less bulky. Photo: Sam Rutherford Gizmodo But more importantly, both feature a slimmed down chassis thats around 33 percent lighter than a Vive Pro. And when you combine that weight savings with easily adjustable velcro straps and a halo style headband in back, for me at least, the Reverb feels like the most comfortable VR headset yet. The Reverb also features built-in spatial audio headphones that support 3D sound, though Rver After 5 Seasons, Syfy s The Magicians Will Cast Its Final Spell

Dyof Former Google Engineer Blasts Company s HR Practices After Sexual Harassment Revelation
A poisoning outbreak traced to synthetic cannabinoids sickened at least 52 people in Utah and sent 31 to the emergency room this past winter, reveals a new report released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But unlike other recent outbreaks, the victims werent trying to buy synthetic weed: They had bought what they thought was cannabis oil that only contained cannabidiol CBD , the non-psychoactive ingredient of weed. And many had purchased these products from traditional smoke shops. Around the beginning of last December, according to the CDC report, the Utah Poison Control Center came across five cases of people visiting the ER with symptoms of seizures, confusion, and hallucinations. Just before the symptoms began, the patients had all taken a product ma air max rketed to contain CBD. Products that contain only CBD are created to not have the psychoactive effects commonly associated with THC. Eventually, state and federal health and law enforcement officials formed a task force that found at least 52 similar cases had occurred within the state from October 2017 to af1 the adidas samba end of January 2018. CBD is thought by some to help treat certain conditions, such as pain and depression though evidence to support many of these claims is lacking . This April, a committee of outside experts assembled by the Food and Drug Administration unanimously voted to approve the first CBD-based drug to treat certain epileptic seizures.

Travis Kalanicks skechers sicherheitsschuhe brother from another mother, Anthony Levandowski, has officially stepped down from leading Ubers self-driving car division. Levandowski is a key player in a lawsuit adiletten original filed by his former employer, Google, that claims he stole tech that Uber is incorporating into its cars. This isnt a minor legal proceeding. It could prove to be fatal for the ride-sharing startup. https://jalopnik/the-engineer-in-the-go ... 1794001559 Business Insider was the first to report the news of Levandowskis demotion based on an internal email that Uber confirmed is authentic. In the email, Levandowski explains that he will no longer be involved in the unit of Ubers Advanced Technologies Group that develops the LiDAR system that is crucial for self-driving cars.

In the last year Lucasfilm has announced its intent to bring Star Wars to a broader range of gaming developers, ahead of a decade-long exclusivity deal with EA Games that ends in 2023. But just because Lucasfilm has altered the deal doesnt mean its not working with the develope adidas samba herren r on more Star Wars adventures. Lucasfilm and EA officially announced today that the companies are working on three more Star Wars games with developer Respawn Entertainment, a studio best known for the Titanfall and Apex Legends shooter franchise. One of the games is a long-assumed sequel to Respawns own Star Wars title, 2019 Jedi: Fallen Order, which follows a young former padawan named Cal Ke adidas samba stis Gothams Cameron Monaghan as he re-discovers his Jedi roots in the post-Clone Wars era. Respawn will also develop a new Star Wars first person shooter, and work with new studio Bit Reactor formed from former veterans of the XCOM and Civilization studio Firaxis to develop a strategy title set in the galaxy far, far away. The three games join at least one more in-development Star Wars title at EA: Biowares highly-anticipated remake of the beloved RPG Knights of th adidas campus damen e Old Republic, announced late last year.

At NYCC in October, a beautiful merperson told me about Flame Con, the first-ever queer comic con to be held in New York City. On Saturday I arrived in Brooklyn, unsure of what Id find. Sometimes, skecher new conventions need time and growth to get their legs. But Flame Con was a total delight. Heres what I saw. adidas originals Flame Con was held at the Grand Prospe salomon xt ct Hall in Park Slope, a Victorian palace of a building dating back to 1892. New Yorkers know the Grand Prospect for its over-the-top commercials that have been running for decades, urging you to have your wedding there. Id never been, and was excited to see the building, which didnt disappoint. Fantastically ornate and wonderfully gaudy, the old-fashioned banquet hall was the perfect backdrop for Flame Con, which advertised as flamboyance encouraged. The Halls giant main ballroom, ringed by balconies and topped by chandeliers, set the stage for a unique convention the moment you stepped inside and ascended the staircase. Inside, suited attendants directed you to the ticket tables. This was a far cry from the giant, impersonal Javitz Center where NYCC attendees gather in increasing hordes each year. The lavish, fun-to-explore Hall was part of what Flame Con so great. Anyone who has participated in large cons knows that the host space often leaves something to be desired. Flame Con felt comfortable, welcoming and accommodating, from the friendly, abundant staff and volunteers to the affordable food and drinks to multiple spaces to

Science fiction makes flying cars and hoverbikes seem like the ultimate way to get around town, and one day they might be. But for now, the limits of technology mean you really want to avoid climbing aboard a flying bike, as this unfortunate crash of the Russian Hoversurf Scorpion demonstrates. A couple of years ago, the Dubai Police force announced they were investing in Hoversurfs technology and would be adding the Scorpion hoverbike to their lineup of police vehicles. The announcement sounded more like a PR opportunity than a genuine way to boost the police forces capabilities, but this video, released yesterday, shows that the Scorpion is still actually undergoing testing in Dubai鈥攐r at least it was. The electric-powered Scorpion can hit speeds of over 40 miles hour and is deigned to fly at heights of around 16 feet, but this incident occurred with the hoverbike flying about 100 feet in the air. The crash itself wasnt as scary as it could have been; the pilot managed to right the craft moments before it hi adidas campus herren t the ground which appears to have greatly reduced its impact speed. Whats terrifying is watching the pilot get tang nike dunk high led up with the wreckage, which included four unshielded spinning propellers.

Shanghai Disney Resort opened its gates to the public today, and hoka winterschuhe in every single aspect its the cr adidas campus own jewel in a Disney Princess theme park tiara. But it wasnt enough to build a $5.5 billion megapark thats four times the size of Disneyland. Disney also used the opportunity to gain a greater foothold in China鈥攚hich was not always so easy. A New York Times report gives insight into the intense negotiations between Disney CEO mizuno laufschuhe Bob Iger and the Chinese government to introduce Mickey to Communism. In a way, its easier to build a park in a Communist state. The Chinese government has a significant stake in the resort, which means it also controls the development and management of the resort itself. So getting hundreds of peoples homes torn down to build the Magic Kingdom No problem! State-run construction companies cleared a 1,700-acre tract to build the resort, which will ultimately include two additional Disney theme parks and thousands of Disney hotel rooms, analysts say. Authorities have relocated residents, moved graves and closed more than 150 polluting factories. The government built new infrastructure, including a subway line that goes directly to the parks front gate. But some of the other stuff was not as simple. Usually, when Disney builds a new theme park in a new country, part of the pitch is that Disney will also bring a broadcast network and licensing deals along with it. But as talks began, China was still peeved about a little film named Kundun. After Disney rel

Long before the two deadliest pandemics in history鈥攖he Plague of Justinian and the Black Plague鈥攁n ancient strain of the bacterium responsible for these scourges, Yersinia pestis, may have already wreaked havoc among Neolithic European communities over 5,000 years ago, according to a controversial new study. New research published today in Cell describes a newly identified strain of Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that causes plague. The DNA of the new strain was extracted from a woman who lived in a Neolithic farming community about 4,900 years ago in what is now Sweden. The bacterium is unique in that its the oldest genome of Y. pestis ever discovered and, at a genetic level, its the earliest plague strain ever discovered. More controversially, the authors of the new study, led by metagenomics researcher Simon Rasm ugg ussen from the Technical University of Denmark and the University of adidas samba adidas Copenhagen, say this bacterium may have spread around Late yeezy slide Neolithic European communities, creating plague-like conditions that contributed to the decline of these settlements and setting the stage for the ensuing Bronze Age. Whats more, the plague was not introduced by settlers from the Eurasian steppe, the researchers argue, but instead had an eastern European origin. Other experts are unconvinced, however, saying more archaeological and genetic evidence is needed to support the claim.

We all know 2020 wasnt exactly a good year for movies. Thats not to say good movies didnt come out鈥攖heres Nomadland, Minari, Judas and the Black Messiah, just to name a few. But for those hoping for genre fare in awards season, studios for the most part decided to hold their big-budget, potentially big-earning nerdy blockbusters for a time when the plague wasnt running rampant and people could pay $10 a ticket to see them. As a result, this years Acad yeezy slide emy Award nominees are rather lacking, at least in terms of genre entertainment, but there are things worth noting among the nominees. The late actor Chadwick Boseman and The Walking Deads Steven Yuen grabbed Best Actor noms for Ma Raineys Black Bottom and Minari, respectively, as did Rogue One and Venoms Riz Ahmed, for Sound of Metal. Yuen and Ahmeds nominations are particularly historic: Yuen becomes the first ever Asian-American considered in the Best Actor category, while Ahmed, who is of British and Pakistani descent, joins him as just the fourth actor of Asian descent to be nominated in the category. https://gizmodo/all-the-nerdy-things-yo ... 1846378974 Director Chlo茅 Zhao was nominated for Nomadland鈥攚hich makes it even crazier her next adidas samba project is Marvels Eternals movie鈥攁longside fellow nominee Emerald Fennell marking the first time multiple women have been nominated in the category.

Virtual reality, a dream of s adidas originals hombre cience fiction writers for decades, is the closest to a tru skecher e reality than its ever been. Multiple headsets are on sale to consumers, and while some arent exactly affordable to the common person, such as the HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift, and others work better than others,the upcoming years will only bring more innovation to the industry. This isnt limited to just video games either, although that is certainly the biggest market for VR right now. People across different media are using the technology to tell stories and take users on journeys into far away places. For many of us, affordable, viable VR is still a few years away, but we can sit back and appreciate the efforts of others who want to make these experiences as broad as possible. 1.

Ive spent a lot of time looking at past predictions of the future over the years. But every once in a while I uncover something thats so accurate, its almost spooky. This video from 1960 is just such a video. The short film, published by British Pathe, depicts what fashion will be like in the year 2000鈥攆orty years into tomorrow. But unlike the aviation-themed fashions of the 1920s, the radio-inspired fashions of the 1930s, or the space-themed fashions of The Jetsons in the 1960s, the predictions from designers in this short film are weirdly retro. Its not very often that we see futuristic predictions that rely so heavily on the past. Although certain buildings are timeless in their appeal, the same cant be said for clothes, the narrator of the 1960 film explains. What was fashionable yesterday, is often ugly today. And yet fashions undoubtedly travel in cycles. With this in mind, we wondered what clothes would look like in the year 2000. https://gizmodo/future-fashion-from-the ... 1457000194 As the narrator notes, the designs are by Harry and Monty Moss of the Moss Bros. fashion firm.

Well, this is awkward. Flickrs seemingly impressive image recognition system is making some embarrassing slips when identifying black people and air max 2 concentration camps, according to the Guardian. The newspaper explains that the new algorithm, which is designed to tag and then filter images by content, is misfiring frequently. It describes how a portrait of a black man named William got auto-tagged as blackandwhite and monochrome along with animal and ape. Incidentally, a picture of a white woman also got the same treatment. Elsewhere, pictures of the Dachau concentration camp were tagged with jungle gym and sport , while one of Auschwitz was also tagged as depicting sport. But its worth pointing out that such mistakes are natural鈥攁nd useful. Flickr uses a machine-learning approach to identify images, comparing new pictures to ones mizuno running that reebok sneaker its seen in the past to try and identify what they show. As a result, it wont always get them right, so an important step is for users to delete inappropriate tags so that it can learn from its mistakes. In other words, it can learn faster by making a few mistakes and then having them corrected. So, yes, the slips that Flickrs algorithm has made are embarrassing. But theyre also going to make it less awkward in the future. [Guardian] FlickrimagesPhotographs
