La Barcelona polièdrica. Firing at Man in Times Square, Police Wound Two Bystanders. It began as just another bizarre scene in the Times Square area, a disoriented man lurching amid traffic, seemingly throwing himself into the path of oncoming cars.

Firing at Man in Times Square, Police Wound Two Bystanders

The police arrived and the crowd grew. The hulking man continued on, ignoring the officers’ commands while eluding capture. Then the man reached into his pants pocket, withdrawing his hand as if it were a gun, the police said, and pretended to shoot at some of the officers. Two officers opened fire, discharging a total of three bullets. They missed the man, but struck two women nearby, including one who had been leaning against her walker; the bullet wound to her leg sent her tumbling to the ground. The shooting on Saturday night immediately raised questions about the police’s use of deadly force, especially in a crowded area where bystanders were in the line of fire.

About a year ago, two officers struck nine bystanders in front of the Empire State Building as they fired a volley that killed an armed murder suspect. Mr. Test X180 by Force Factor.

Painting with Watercolours using openFrameworks FBO - Kenichi Yoneda (@kyndinfo)

At the recent openFrameworks Developer Conference held held at YCAM as a part of the Yagamuchi Mini Market Faire, Kenichi introducing various projects developing algorithms he has been working on including drawing by the bleeding of watercolor as an act of digital painting. I’ve been recalling sometimes that I was asked if it was possible to do my own watercolors in a video in the e-mail interview with Guernica Magazine. Since then I’ve been kind of haunted with the idea of mimicking my watercolors with codes but made no real attempt for a while. Maintenance mode. Three.js - JavaScript 3D library.

Local Anti-Drone Activism Begins: 'If They Fly in Town, We Will Shoot Them Down' - Conor Friedersdorf. Will surveillance-state opponents start to fight at the municipal level, as anti-nuclear activists did in the 1970s and 1980s?

Local Anti-Drone Activism Begins: 'If They Fly in Town, We Will Shoot Them Down' - Conor Friedersdorf

Charles Krauthammer once predicted that the first American to shoot down a domestic drone would be a folk hero. Phillip Steele, a resident of Deer Trail, Colorado, wants to enable that hero. As the FAA loosens regulations on domestic drone use, Steele has submitted an ordinance to his town's board of trustees that would create America's most unusual hunting license: It would permit hunting drones and confer a bounty for every one brought down. Only 12-gauge shotguns could be used as weapons, so the drones would have a sporting chance. Wouldn't the hunters be breaking federal law? Of course. Whether or not the Deer Trail ordinance passes on August 6, when it's up for a vote, Americans should expect to see a lot more efforts at the local level to thwart the surveillance state and protect privacy.

Mobile weather applications may be becoming the new playground for user interface designers, but few can also make claims as to advancing the technology behind the display of the weather on users’ smartphones, as well.

Mobile Weather App Minutely Lets You “Correct” The Weather, Visualize Storms In 3D

But that’s the case with Minutely, a newly launched mobile weather application for iPhone and Android which not only offers the usual assortment of weather info, like temperatures, forecasts, and precipitation details, but also a 3D view into the weather itself in an application built on top of Unity. Yes, Unity – the cross-platform video game development engine, which is rarely (if ever) used to build non-game mobile applications for smartphones. In fact, when Minutely’s co-founder and CEO Justin Re told Unity CEO David Helgason about his plans, he was told that such an idea was just “crazy.”

But with the debut of Minutely’s mobile application, that crazy idea seems to have paid off.
