Battery Scan

One of the cooler companies I’ve seen in a while is LumaField, which does industrial CT scanning, as they describe it. Industrial X-ray CT (Computed Tomography) works on the same basic principle as medical CT, taking hundreds of X-ray images from different angles to capture the internal and external structure of objects in three dimensions. … Continue reading Battery Scan →

Skateboard

I understand it's hard to do more than 300 feet on these 90-second rush jobs, but with a smaller ramp I'm worried the gee forces will be too high for me to do any tricks.

Sora is not really for me. It’s fun to watch, but I’ve never wanted to create this style of video. Then I thought, could I use it to create some animated videos with public domain material like 1920s Mickey Mouse? Nope! Their guardrails are too strict.

Good post by Michael Tsai on Apple’s exclusive control over app distribution and how the problem is more fundamental that just the ICEBlock removal:

They designed a system with a kill switch, and now people are surprised and upset that they used it. The problem is not that they pressed the button this one time when you didn’t want them to. The problem is that there is a button and Apple likes having it.

The National Guard arrives in Chicago

washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/the-national-guard-arrives-in-chicago/?tid=aud_rsslink&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports

Tensions have been escalating in Chicago since the Trump administration began a widespread immigration enforcement operation across the city in early September. Officers have ransacked homes and detained children during raids. Local and state officials have loudly denounced the move and are pushing back against the effort, while residents have banded together to keep neighbors safe. But over the weekend a woman was shot by a Border Patrol agent, and after protests flared the president authorized National Guard troops to go into Illinois.

Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with reporter and Chicago resident Kim Bellware about what it’s felt like to be there and how the city has been responding.

Today’s show was produced by Sabby Robinson with help from Rennie Svirnovsky. It was edited by Peter Bresnan and mixed by Sean Carter.

Bill Burr Keeps Cycling Through Excuses For Doing The Riyadh Comedy Festival

Bill Burr Keeps Cycling Through Excuses For Doing The Riyadh Comedy Festival

By default, Bill Burr exists in a state of his ass being chapped, but clearly it's been feeling more chapped than usual. The comedian has continued to address his decision to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, but he still can't settle on which lazy excuse he wants to employ.

Last week, Burr recapped his trip to the festival and attempted to explain his decision to take money from the Saudi government. Part of the explanation was that making the experience made him less racist. "My whole fuckin' idea of Saudi Arabia is what I've seen on the news," he said on his podcast. "I literally think I'm gonna fuckin' land and everyone's gonna be screaming 'Death to America,' and they're gonna have fuckin' machetes and want to chop my head off, right? Because this is what I've been fed about that part of the world, right?"
