This metablog contains a photo dump of Lucy Liu, a good measure of science, a bit of retro stuff and a small dash of Donald Trump. All the stuff cool cats need!
Fritz's Rule 5 Post - Lucy Liu
In case you missed it, physicists discovered gravitational waves, finally solving Einstein's theories and paving the way for brand new understandings of physics. To do that, two near-identical observatories in Washington and Louisiana have two 2.5 mile vacuum tubes, which fire five laser interferometers each. If those lasers are disturbed by gravitational waves, LIGO detects a positive match. And that's exactly how it caught the whispers of a black hole merger from 1.5 billion years ago.

Most digital maps today rely upon a set of coordinates known as the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84). However, digital mapping products in China instead use something called “the GCJ-02 datum.” an apparently random algorithmic offset “causes WGS-84 coordinates to be plotted incorrectly on GCJ-02 maps.” GCJ-02 data are also somewhat oddly known as “Mars Coordinates,” as if describing the geography of another planet.

Egyptian Student Who Threatened Trump on Facebook to Be Deported
The new Facebook reactions buttons could also come in handy for media companies during the U.S. presidential election. Perhaps, a media company may decide to show content about Donald Trump only to users that “Love” or “Like” articles about him rather than the ones that are “Angry” about his policies.
