Mechanical horse dragon in France


A cool video of a mechanical horse dragon being paraded through the streets of Nantes, France.

The 12 metre high horse-dragon, named 'Long-Ma', was built by French theatre company La Machine as a gift to the people of China to celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France.

The elaborate machine weighs 45 tonnes and can gallop, lie down, blow smoke out of its nostrils and breathe fire out of its mouth.
You can see Long-Ma will now in Beijing

Artist's 3D Printable Mask Tricks Facial Recognition Software

Clone army: Artist's 3D printable mask tricks facial recognition software


Biometric identification is becoming more prevalent and powerful, so artist Leo Selvaggio decided to take a novel approach to combat what he views as the growing surveillance state. Selvaggio created a 3D printable mask that is a photorealistic copy of his own face, allowing users to trick facial recognition software and conceal the wearer's identity. The idea for the project struck while the artist was living in Chicago, which has over 20,000 networked cameras accessible by police. RT's Ameera David speaks to Selvaggio and learned more about his motivations.

Water-rich Gem Points To Vast 'Oceans' Beneath Earth's Surface, Study Suggests

Water-rich gem points to vast 'oceans' beneath Earth's surface, study suggests


The first terrestrial discovery of ringwoodite confirms the presence of massive amounts of water 400 to 700 kilometers beneath Earth's surface. Ringwoodite is a form of the mineral peridot, believed to exist in large quantities under high pressures in the transition zone. Ringwoodite has been found in meteorites but, until now, no terrestrial sample has ever been unearthed because scientists haven't been able to conduct fieldwork at extreme depths.

Facebook False Likes & Click Fraud

Feb 12, 2014

Facebook Fraud

Evidence Facebook's revenue is based on fake likes.
My first vid on the problem with Facebook: http://bit.ly/1dXudqY
I know first-hand that Facebook's advertising model is deeply flawed. When I paid to promote my page I gained 80,000 followers in developing countries who didn't care about Veritasium (but I wasn't aware of this at the time). They drove my reach and engagement numbers down, basically rendering the page useless. I am not the only one who has experienced this. Rory Cellan-Jones had the same luck with Virtual Bagel: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-...

The US Department of State spent $630,000 to acquire 2 million page likes and then realized only 2% were engaged. http://wapo.st/1glcyZo

I thought I would demonstrate that the same thing is still happening now by creating Virtual Cat (http://www.facebook.com/MyVirtualCat). I was surprised to discover something worse - false likes are coming from everywhere, including Canada, the US, the UK, and Australia. So even those carefully targeting their campaigns are likely being duped into spending real money on fake followers. Then when they try to reach their followers they have to pay again.

And it's possible to be a victim of fake likes without even advertising. Pages that end up on Facebook's "International Suggested Pages" are also easy targets for click-farms seeking to diversify their likes. http://tnw.co/NsflrC

Thanks to Henry, Grey, and Nessy for feedback on earlier drafts of this video.

The Outernet Project Aims To Give Free Internet Access To Everyone On The Planet

Feb 7, 2014
An organisation called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) is planning to give free internet access to every person on Earth.

By using datacasting technology to send data over wide radio waves from hundreds of satellites called the Outernet, the New York-based company says they'll be able to broadcast the Internet around the world.

The Outernet team aims to start deploying the satellites into Earth orbit in June 2015.
