I thought we were finally free. The 2016 Ghostbusters movie was released, it exists. Now, theres going to be another Ghostbusters movie.

Kcsa What Happens to Facebook s Mind Reading Project Now That Its Leader Is Gone
Twitter is known as the internets online swamp for a reason, a reputation most users can attest to, although the company desperately wants that to change. To help speed things along, the social media network has launched a new symptoms-first reporting process to help users report bad behavior. In the past, the onus was on the user to determine what violation had been committed, which could be both frustrating and confusing. Under the new system, described by the company as more empathetic and supportive, Twitter will first ask users airmaxplus what happe yeezy slide ned, or the symptom, and then use that information to suggest the type of violation that may have occurred. The new process, which is now available globally on the web, iOS, and Android, aims to make it easier for users to report others when they break Twitters rules, be it by posting misinformation or engaging in hate speech, among other violations. According to Twitter, the number of actionable report adidas samba s it received increase by 50% in tests with the new system. In moments of urgency, people need to be heard and feel supported. Asking them to open the medical dictionary and saying, point to the one thing thats your problem is something people arent going to do, Brian Waismeyer, a data scientist at Twitter that led the development of this new process, said in a blog post聽in December.

Mixing corn starch and water makes for a crowd-pleasing staple of science demos.

Now physicists think theyve figured out just whats going on when this unusual material switches from a liquid to a solid, hopefully ending a long-running debate. They described their findings in a new paper in Physical Review Letters. The mixture goes by many names, but the most common one is oobleck, a nod to the classic Dr. Seuss story, Bartholomew and the Oobleck. Its really simple to make your own.

On a trip to Indonesia, gemologist Brian Berger purchased an opal that appeared to have an insect entombed inside. Insects trapped in amber are a common-enough sight, but in a slow-forming gemstone like opal Some researchers werent sure it was possible, Berger told Gizmodo. Now we know its possible. Is it likely Extremely unlikely. Berger had the stone analyzed by the Gemological Institute of America, which confirmed its authenticity. He published a blog in Entomology Today about his finding and is looking for entomologists to further analyze it.

Its a bit of a mix of the two, with stunning illustrations of gian salomon zapatillas t robots and flying machines along side snippets of an alternate world that hes created of 1980s Sweden. Theres a basic story: in the 1950s, the Swedish government ordered the construction of a particle accelerator, which ran through the mid-1990s. The surrounding area was awash in technology, and the narrator recounts a range of short episodes from his childhood in this environment. While reading through this book, I couldnt help but shake the feeling that I was reading something comparable to the brilliant novel Roadside Picnic by B airforce oris and Arkady Strugatsky: theres technology everywhere, but its been cast aside, abandoned, ripe for exploration. Theres also a real sense of nostalgia rooted in this book, of a person looking back at their childhood and the simpler times.

The Transportation Department just banned all Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphones from any flight in the United States. Anyone caught attempting to evade the ban may face criminal prosecution, in addition to fines. The ban goes into effect at noon on Saturday, though its unclear how effective it will be at keeping the devices off of aircraft since the TSA wont be actively searching for the devices at checkpoints. The Transportation Department says that if youre caught with the device, it may be confiscated and you mi dunks shoes ght face fines. And dont even think about trying to sneak it into your checked luggage. The department says this could lead to increased risk of a catastrophic incident and anyone caught doing that could face prosecution. The ban is a collaboration between the Department of Transportation, the FAA and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. We recognize that banning these phones from airlines will inconvenience some passengers, but the safety of all those aboard an aircraft must take priority, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said on Friday. We are taking this additional step because even one fire incident inflight poses a high risk of severe personal injury and puts many lives at risk.
