China: How Sharing Images of Freedom Protests on Social Media Blocks Health QR Codes

On the popular Chinese social media platform, Weibo, hundreds of desperate users were writing “confession letters” this past week.  They are urgent pleas from people who have been banned from the Tencent-owned super app WeChat – begging representatives to restore their accounts on a service that has become an almost indispensable part of life in…

Russia Says UK Navy Blew Up Nord Stream, London Denies Involvement

Russia's defence ministry said on Saturday that British navy personnel blew up the Nord Stream gas pipelines last month, a claim that London said was false and designed to distract from Russian military failures in Ukraine.

Russia did not give evidence for its claim that a leading NATO member had sabotaged critical Russian infrastructure amid the worst crisis in relations between the West and Russia since the depths of the Cold War.

The Russian ministry said that "British specialists" from the same unit directed Ukrainian drone attacks on ships of Russian Black Sea fleet in Crimea earlier on Saturday that it said were largely repelled by Russian forces, with minor damage to a Russian minesweeper.

"According to available information, representatives of this unit of the British Navy took part in the planning, provision and implementation of a terrorist attack in the Baltic Sea on September 26 this year - blowing up the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines," the ministry said.

Britain denied the claim.

Scientists continue to blow through data transmission records, with the fastest transmission of information between a laser and a single optical chip system now set at 1.8 petabits per second. That's well in excess of the amount of traffic passing across the entire internet each second.
Here's another comparison: the average broadband download speed in the US is 167 megabits per second. You need 1,000 megabits to get to a gigabit, and then 1 million gigabits to get up to 1 petabit.

No matter how you present it, 1.8 petabits is a serious amount of data to transmit in a second.

The supercharged data transfer system is built around a custom-design optical chip, which uses the light from a single infrared laser and splits it into hundreds of frequencies. The frequencies are isolated at fixed distances from each other, like teeth in a comb – hence the name for this setup, which is a frequency comb.

Each 'tooth' on a frequency comb can send its own burst of data, which is how the huge transmission rates are achieved. Using more conventional means, around a thousand lasers would be needed to carry the same number of 1s and 0s.

Alex was right again.

Classic.

If you haven't seen this, make the time to do so.

In 1917 a woman tried to publish a book she claimed was written by Mark Twain's ghost via Ouija board. Mark Twain's daughter sued over this claiming the author would have to either surrender all profits to the estate of Mark Twain or admit that the claim was a fraud.

Model of the Orion spacecraft, the project of which was never realized. The model is completely made in Blender, has high detail and one texture set with 4K resolution, which allows you to shoot it close-up for a popular science video.

Project Orion was a study conducted between the 1950s and 1960s by the United States Air Force, DARPA, and NASA for the purpose of identifying the efficacy of a starship directly propelled by a series of explosions of atomic bombs behind the craft—nuclear pulse propulsion.
