• The Hidden Engineering of Runways

  An Airbus A380, the largest of commercial jets, has a max gross takeoff weight of over 550 metric tonnes. For a long-haul flight, nearly half of that weight can be in fuel. When an airplane touches down, even though the moment the wheels hit may feel impactful, the plane is much lighter. In fact, landings are so much less damaging to pavement than takeoffs that they usually don’t even count in load cycle tracking for the engineering design. It’s all about takeoffs, and to support those enormous loads, airport runways have some of the most heavily engineered pavement systems in the world.

  I’ve been thinking about why so many of the people in this space are obsessed with blood transfusions specifically. It seemed like a strange fixation — until I looked at the evidence properly. I think they’re vampires. Not metaphorically. I think the modern longevity movement is a vampire disclosure program.

• Epstein Directed Aide to Obtain Hidden Video Cameras - The New York Times

  Jeffrey Epstein directed one of his aides to obtain hidden video cameras, apparently to be set up in his home in Palm Beach, Fla., according to a recently released 2014 email. The purpose of the cameras was not clear, but a number of Mr. Epstein’s victims have said they suspected they were being recorded. That has fueled speculation that he was collecting compromising information on his powerful acquaintances, though no evidence has emerged to prove those claims.

"Ms. Maxwell alone can explain why, and the public is entitled to hear that explanation."

• Watch: Bondi Explodes Over Epstein During Shouting Match With Massie And Top Dems | ZeroHedge

  The hearing’s most explosive moment came when Massie, a co-sponsor of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, confronted Bondi with DOJ and FBI documents he said showed victims’ names disclosed while alleged abusers’ names were blacked out - and a 2019 FBI file that listed Epstein confidant Les Wexner as a “co-conspirator,” a designation Massie said was redacted in DOJ’s release. As Massie asked who authorized the redactions and why, Bondi interrupted repeatedly, insisting the issue had been “corrected within 40 minutes” and accusing Massie of acting as if there were a cover-up. When Massie noted the change came only after he flagged it, the exchange turned heated, with Bondi laughing off the criticism and attacking Massie personally. "Who’s responsible?" asked Massie. "Are you able to track who in the organization made this massive failure and released the victims’ names?" Bondi shot back that Massie was a "failed politician" and a "hypocrite."

  By the end of the exchange, Bondi had not answered whether DOJ agrees there is “no credible information” about co-conspirators, why a document listing Wexner as a co-conspirator was redacted, or who approved releasing victims’ names while obscuring alleged abusers. The hearing closed with unanswered questions—and a stark contrast between Democrats’ early sparring over evasions and a later, bipartisan rupture that put the department’s handling of the Epstein files squarely at the center of the controversy.

  • Chaos Erupts in House Hearing After Pam Bondi Nukes Democrats

  Bondi made it clear from the beginning that she wasn’t going to play nice with them. In her opening statement, she hammered Democrats for ignoring the Jeffrey Epstein case under Joe Biden. “Have you apologized to President Trump? All of you who participated in those impeachment hearings against Donald Trump, you all should be apologizing. You sit here, and you attack the president, and I am not going to have it. I'm not going to put up with it,” she said. “They are talking about Epstein today. This has been around since the Obama administration. This administration released over three million pages of documents, over three million, and Donald Trump signed that law to release all of those documents. He is the most transparent president in the nation's history, and none of them, none of them, asked Merrick Garland over the last four years one word about Jeffrey Epstein.”

  When Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) asked her how many people in the Epstein files had been indicted, she tried to answer, but he immediately cut her off, and she wasn’t having it. “Uh, excuse me. I’m gonna answer my question,” Bondi shot back.

In federal testing, a Fly 10 traveling at 38 mph (61 km/h) required 83.8 feet (25.5 meters) to come to a complete stop – nearly 11% worse than required. In wet weather testing, average deceleration was 16% worse than the minimum federal requirement.

• How Did the FBI Get Nancy Guthrie's Nest Doorbell Footage?

  If you have been following this case closely, you may know that law enforcement had previously confirmed that Guthrie's Google Nest camera was disconnected (presumably by the perpetrator), and that she did not have a subscription that would store video either on the doorbell or in the cloud. Yet despite the fact the doorbell should have been a dead end, the FBI has seemingly produced this video out of thin air. If you have a Google Nest device in or attached to your home, this might give you pause. Sure, it's one thing if law enforcement is able to obtain video from your subscription or from the device itself. But if you don't keep video records on your Nest, it seems it is still possible to retrieve the footage. How did the FBI do this, and what does it mean for the privacy of your Nest devices?

  How did Google retrieve footage that was deleted and that the user’s account didn’t have access to? Does this mean your deleted footage could be accessed by law enforcement? The answer to the second question, according to a forensic expert I spoke to, is technically yes. Deleted footage stored in the cloud can be recovered, but in this case, it was probably very difficult, and the resources to do so were likely made available only because of the case’s high profile.

• The singularity won't be gentle

  If AI has even a fraction of the impact that many people in Silicon Valley now expect on the fabric of work and daily life, it’s going to have profound and unpredictable political impacts. Last June, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, published a blog post entitled “The Gentle Singularity”. If you’re not familiar with the jargon, the Singularity (sometimes capitalized, sometimes not) is a hypothesized extremely rapid takeoff in technological progress — so technologies that would once have taken years or decades to come to fruition might be realized in months, days, hours, minutes, microseconds. I’m not sure that I want to weigh in right now on my “priors” about the Singularity. It’s probably safe to say they’re more skeptical than your average Berkeley-based machine-learning researcher but more credulous than your typical political takes artist. What I’m more confident in asserting is that the notion of a gentle singularity is bullshit.

  the belief that technological progress, warts and all, would be broadly beneficial for society, has come under some deserved scrutiny lately. In other Gallup polling, the percentage of people who have “a great deal” or a “large amount” of trust in “large technology companies” fell from 32 percent to 24 percent between 2020 (the first time Gallup posed this question) and last year.

When the gambling economy becomes larger than the actual economy, then actual economic and social activity just becomes something to gamble upon. We all know how that story plays out, don’t we? Desperate people end up taking desperate measures, while the gambling sites maintain plausible deniability and leave everyone else to handle the fallout.

The strength was concentrated squarely in the private sector, particularly construction, where employment jumped by 33,000 jobs. Of those, 25,000 were in nonresidential specialty trades — the largest monthly gain in five years — as factory projects, energy investments, and data center construction continue accelerating.

According to Sportico, Darnold’s bill to the Golden State will be $249,000 following Seattle’s latest championship. The outlet stated the sizable check is due to California’s “jock taxes,” which force pro athletes who don’t live in the state to fork over percentages of their yearly income based on the number of days they work in California.

The intelligence that top U.S. spy agencies are furnishing to Kurt Olsen — now a temporary government employee in the White House — is meant to support a probe he is leading into whether Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was the result of fraud or other electoral irregularities, said the people, who, like others in this article, were granted anonymity for fear of retribution.

• Gerrymandering in Virginia is a strategic blunder for Democrats

  Democrats are asking voters to protect democracy by abandoning America’s most sacred of democratic principles: that voters get to choose their politicians, and that elections mean something, writes guest columnist Alex Keena.

  It is also true that Republicans are largely responsible for violating the Democratic norms that prevented aggressive gerrymandering in the past. Since the Republicans aggressively gerrymandered after 2010, and the conservative Supreme Court refused to intervene, the “rules” have changed. However, this misses a larger point: Extreme gerrymandering in Virginia puts Democrats in grave danger. In order to give Democrats a 10-1 advantage, mapmakers must pack Republicans into one “safe” districts and “crack” Republican support across the remaining districts to create Democratic majorities.

• FAA closes airspace around El Paso, Texas, for 10 days, grounding all flights

  A notice posted on the FAA’s website said the temporary flight restrictions were for “special security reasons,” but did not provide additional details. The closure does not include Mexican airspace. The airport said in an Instagram post that all flights to and from the airport would be grounded from late Tuesday through late on Feb. 20, including commercial, cargo and general aviation flights. It suggested travelers contact their airlines to get up-to-date flight information. The shutdown is likely to create significant disruptions given the duration and the size of the metropolitan area. El Paso, a border city with a population of nearly 700,000 and larger when you include the surrounding metro area, is hub of cross-border commerce alongside neighboring Ciudad Juarez in Mexico.

  The two victims, aged 12 and 13, were taken to hospital in a serious condition after the attack on Tuesday. In an update today, Chief Superintendent Helen Flanagan confirmed the boys are now in stable condition and their injuries are thankfully not life-threatening. At around 12.40pm the suspect, a British national, went into a first floor classroom and sprayed a substance towards a pupil, said cops. Chief Superintendent Flanagan said: “The suspect has then attacked another pupil, a 13-year-old in that classroom, stabbing him, and then the suspect has left, running down the hallway of the school. “As he is leaving, he then attacked another victim, a 12-year-old, stabbing him before running off and away from the school.” Chief Superintendent Flanagan added how the force were called to a mosque in north west London at 4.50pm where the suspect was detained. He remains in custody on suspicion of attempted murder. The force do not believe the suspect had any connection to the mosque and his presence there may have been coincidental. Unconfirmed reports suggested the suspect yelled ‘’Allahu Akbar’’’ – God is great – as he launched the attack. However, sources stressed that youngsters carrying out such attacks often have a variety of potential motives. Det Chief Supt Luke Williams, of the Met, said: “Due to the surrounding circumstances, the investigation is now being led by officers from Counter Terrorism Policing London. “This has not currently been declared a terrorist incident.”
