Statistically, decades of observations of the universe might include every kind of detectable phenomenon. Yet everything we’ve detected so far appears natural, and nothing is clearly the product of an extraterrestrial civilization. Figure that out. 🤔 #UFOs #UPAs #DisclosureDay

We share this in anticipation of our new episode dropping next week, "Disclosure Day." Does the government's latest UAP data dump finally provide solid evidence that aliens have been visiting Earth?
The "new" UAP videos released today are ALL from one guy who regularly sees "orbs" over his house. He was considered "credible" by the FBI. His videos were released last year. One showed Chinese lanterns, and one showed the ISS.
He's not credible, and the FBI did a poor job.

This week, we’re joined by @binarybits to discuss the newest innovations in self-driving cars, their success on the west coast and in the Sun Belt, and why they may be coming to a city near you very soon. bit.ly/3XRMEtA

What he said
I want to know the truth!
Why are members of Congress promoting the baseless rumor that the US gov has crashed alien craft, bodies of dead aliens, and knowledge of "sentient plasma" alien races?
Go ahead, release the files & give witnesses immunity. Shine some sunlight!

Are self-driving cars safe? Is their wide-spread implementation right around the corner? And most importantly, are people willing to give up control of their cars? We ask that and more in VROOM. bit.ly/3XRMEtA

If you live in San Francisco or Phoenix, you might know that self-driving cars have leapt from science fiction to real life. But just how close are we to giving up the wheel? We ask that question and more this week, as we go VROOM. bit.ly/3XRMEtA

Brain-Computer Interfaces provide a direct pathway from the brain's electrical output to the input of a digital device. BCIs are helping people who have lost their ability to speak and/or control their muscles find new ways to communicate. bit.ly/3RA3pJu

As engineers adapted the QWERTY keyboard to languages like Chinese, they invented two pieces of tech that many of us use today: predictive text and pop-up menus. Learn more about the history of the Chinese keyboard on this week's episode: bit.ly/3RA3pJu

The QWERTY keyboard relies on a key assumption - that one key translates to one symbol. But for languages with thousands of characters like Chinese, this early keyboard model wasn't a fit. So hackers and modifiers got to work. It's "Outside of Our Minds" bit.ly/3RA3pJu

If you're currently reading this on a computer, you probably have a QWERTY keyboard sitting in front of you. But how did this layout become THE standard keyboard that most of us use today? Find out on this week's episode, "Outside of Our Minds" bit.ly/3RA3pJu

The development of writing was a major inflection point in human history. By externalizing ideas onto clay and paper, the flow of information between communities increased. We look at the intersection of communication and technology in this week's episode bit.ly/3RA3pJu
