☆ Opinion | Yes, the Internet Is Broken. But What Does a Fix Look Like?
  + stars: | 2024-03-13 | by ( Peter Coy | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Tuesday was the 35th anniversary of the day that Tim Berners-Lee of the European Organization for Nuclear Research wrote the memo proposing what became the World Wide Web. I think it’s fair to say, though, that most people are not in the mood to celebrate what has become of Sir Timothy’s invention. It’s common to hear that the internet is broken and that social media is a dumpster fire. A lot go in the right direction, but I haven’t seen anything that seems likely to fully solve the many problems of today’s internet, from invasions of privacy to incitements of violence. Lasting solutions, if there are any, are likely to come from a combination of technological, legal and cultural approaches.

☆ Scientists are building tunnels under South Dakota for a $3 billion experiment that could solve some of the universe's grandest mysteries

Estimated to cost at least $3 billion, the project DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment), is led by scientists at the US Department of Energy's Fermilab. AdvertisementCavern excavation at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota began in 2017. The beam will then travel underground for 800 miles to the detectors at the South Dakota Sanford Underground Research Facility. The Sanford Underground Research Facility is located at a former gold mine.

But nothing is certain yet, aside from the interest from mostly European and Western countries that bankroll CERN, which is home to the Large Hadron Collider. She said review committees had not turned up any “technical show-stoppers” for the project so far.

Monday’s briefing on the new collider included some proposed changes to the original plan announced in 2019.

But you might also be experiencing the so-called Mandela Effect. Ken Drinkwater, a fellow researcher at Manchester Metropolitan, added that the effect might be connected to a condition called false memory syndrome. Jon Elswick/AP; Scott Olson/Getty ImagesSome common examples of the Mandela Effect have perhaps logical explanations, such as Mr. “Advocates of the Mandela Effect think it’s a genuine effect. These people had this false memory right after learning about the characters!

☆ Fact Check-Circulating photo is from a gaming expo, does not show the lobby at CERN

A tweet said, in part, “The lobby at CERN; Nothing at all demonic to see here…” (here). The posts show what appears to be a 3D art display of demonic figures or creatures climbing out of the floor, with observers in the background. An online search for the photo leads to a blog post (here), (here) by 3D artist Kurt Wenner (kurtwenner.com/biography/). He was commissioned by Microsoft Studios to promote the “Gears of War” video game series, the first installment of which was released in November 2006. The photo shows a 3D art illustration by artist Kurt Wenner at a gaming expo in 2006 and does not show the CERN lobby.
☆ Rolex is discontinuing its $9,300 'mad scientist' Milgauss watch — and now some resellers are listing it for over $13,000
  + stars: | 2023-03-28 | by ( Dominick Reuter | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Rolex has quietly discontinued one of its professional watches, the magnetic field-resistant Milgauss. Bob's Watches CEO Paul Altieri told Insider he's holding off selling until prices find a new steady state. The original version was worn by the scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Geneva, Rolex says. It even ranks near last place among the 16 Rolex models tracked on the site. Of course, Rolex could resurrect the Milgauss in a few years, but until it does, mad scientists will have to content themselves with a pre-owned model.
☆ Tim Berners-Lee wants us to reclaim the internet from tech giants
  + stars: | 2022-12-16 | by ( Daniel Renjifo | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
London CNN —The internet has come a long way since Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web in 1989. Now, in an era of growing concern over privacy, he believes it’s time for us to reclaim our personal data. Through their startup Inrupt, Berners-Lee and CEO John Bruce have created the “Solid Pod” — or Personal Online Data Store. The latter plans to use Pods to let its citizens choose how to share their personal data. A former physicist, Tim Berners-Lee, pictured in 1994, invented the world wide web at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN.
