This is a Scale Model of the Solar System Like You’ve Never Seen Before (http://www.universetoday.... ) http://i0.wp.com/www.univ...

9 years ago from Bookmarklet - Comment - Hide - - -

"This is exactly what filmmaker Wylie Overstreet and four of his friends did in 2014, spending a day and a half on a dry lake bed in Nevada where they measured out and set up a scale model of the Sun and planets (not including Pluto, don’t tell Alan Stern) including their respective circular orbits. They then shot time-lapse images of their illuminated cars driving around the orbits. The resulting video is educational, mesmerizing, beautiful, and overall a wonderful demonstration of the staggering scale of space in the Solar System." - Nils Sandin - -

Signs of neutrinos from the dawn of time, less than a second after the Big Bang | Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/sc... ) http://cdn.arstechnica.ne...

9 years ago from Bookmarklet - Comment - Hide - - -

"The first 400,000 years after the Big Bang are inaccessible to us by using light; the material that filled the entire cosmos made it opaque. However, neutrinos interact very little with ordinary matter, so they could travel right through the opaque mess. Lots of these low-mass, fast-moving particles were formed in the first second after the Big Bang, so they could provide a sensitive probe of some of the very earliest moments in the Universe." - Nils Sandin - -

"For years nuclear scientists have talked about a revival of molten salt reactors, which are powered by a liquid fuel rather than solid fuel rods, that will help spark the long-awaited “nuclear renaissance.” Recent developments indicate that this alternative nuclear power technology is finally making gradual progress toward commercialization." - Nils Sandin - -

Shock European court decision: Websites are liable for users’ comments | Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/te... ) http://cdn.arstechnica.ne...

9 years ago from Bookmarklet - Comment - Hide - - -

In a surprise decision, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg has ruled that the Estonian news site Delfi may be held responsible for anonymous and allegedly defamatory comments from its readers. As the digital rights organization Access notes, this goes against the European Union’s e-commerce directive, which "guarantees liability protection for intermediaries that implement notice-and-takedown mechanisms on third-party comments." As such, Peter Micek, Senior Policy Counsel at Access, says the ECHR judgment has "dramatically shifted the internet away from the free expression and privacy protections that created the internet as we know it." - Nils Sandin - -

"The Electronic Frontier Foundation's legal analysis is the best, easiest-to-understand and most comprehensive article I've yet seen on the ruling. The tldr is: 1. When Congress gave the NSA the power to gather "relevantÃ¢ÂÂ information and do so for an Ã¢ÂÂinvestigation," they didn't mean "gather everything and store it forever in case it becomes relevant later."" - Nils Sandin - -

Cops have killed way more Americans in America than terrorists have - Boing Boing (http://boingboing.net/201... ) http://i2.wp.com/boingboi...

9 years ago from Bookmarklet - Comment - Hide - - -

"Police have killed more Americans on U.S. soil since the year 2000 than the Islamist terrorists. At Vox, Anand Katakam created an interactive map with data from Fatal Encounters, a nonprofit working to build a national database of police killings. This database, and the map Vox created, shows that US police have killed at least 5,600 people since the year 2000. That's many more than have died in terrorist attacks on American soil." - Nils Sandin - -

FBI would rather prosecutors drop cases than disclose stingray details | Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/te... ) http://cdn.arstechnica.ne...

9 years ago from Bookmarklet - Comment - Hide - - -

"Not only is the FBI actively attempting to stop the public from knowing about stingrays, it has also forced local law enforcement agencies to stay quiet even in court and during public hearings, too. An FBI agreement, published for the first time in unredacted form on Tuesday, clearly demonstrates the full extent of the agency's attempt to quash public disclosure of information about stingrays. The most egregious example of this is language showing that the FBI would rather have a criminal case be dropped to protect secrecy surrounding the stingray." - Nils Sandin - -

"THE TRICK TO making laptops as thin and light as theyÃ¢ÂÂve gotten has in large part been the transition from traditional hard drives to flash-based solid state drives. The trade-off has been the amount of storage you get (less) and amount you pay for it (much, much more). Micron and Intel appear to have solved at least one of those problems." - Nils Sandin - -
