if they actually filed a patent APPLICATION in october then there is time to submit prior art such as fresnel lenses to the patent examiner and stop this patent.

sigh. patents are routinely given for thing invented long before if the claim isnt already in the patent database under a term associated with the new claim then the patent examiner who has only a few hours to do a search will grant the patent. rarely does a examiner have the time to search beyond the patent database so thing that were obviously in use for decades and never patented suddenly get patented. need far far more patent examiners and far far easier methods to dispute undeserving patents.

maybe they have been there all along

its remarkable how effective this technique is... especially for people seeking positive reinforcement of a judgement they already have about someone. also the kimmel technique of simply slowing down speech rate. its very dangerous though. i remember when rush limbaugh used to use hyperspeed very shrill playback of feminists speaking to make them sound crazy wuen je was using the term feminazi a lot. mark dice also does this with his "little brian stetlzer" video playback voice overs. and of course SNL has been doing it for decades. it would be interesting to have a review of all such techniques so people would be more aware of them. the thing is people's brains blur their memories so, given time, people watching that enough actually beleive they saw many many instances of the person actually behaving that way. this is why it is a such an effective and dangerous propaganda technique. since judgements aboit people are made by the combined sim average experience you have with them, a large number of false experiences create the wrong impression. people today including well known journalists still think sarah palin said "i can see russia from my house" when actually tina fey said it.

looks like the plastic film that covers 3d photos. the lens allows alternating stripes of a striped photo to be directed to each different eye so you see 3d. it forward focuses the lmage directly behind the film. flip that film around and you basically have this as anyone who has peeled it off a 3d photo knows. this film sends images from either side of the cloaked object and in the deep background focal plane to the forefront while defocusing anything closer to it unless it is touching the film. it certainly works with humans at a distance as it ruins edge detection and spreads the defocused object color over the focused deep background field. i would guess it will fool ai trained thermal detection systems as well since they probably look for specific shapes although the thermal energy of a target still has to be dissipated unless this also physically blocks that.

unless you hae cataracts the galaxy seems far more realistic. the pixels muted colors are terrible. the firsy comparidion photo looks like the pixel is mormal amd the galaxy is using a polarized lens. that would account for thr blie sky amd bette r color saturation. take a photo of an lcd screen to check.

as i recall the college class who built the bridge had been chosen for social engineering reasons rather than skill. it was publicised as something like an all female class or something similiar. as more and more schools do this, expect more and more problems in all aspects of society as those people graduate and go out into the real world.

" Russian Cyber-Espionage Group Controlled Its Malware Partly Through Reddit Posts" honestly. damn genius. i actually want to set up a php scrapping cron jon to look at external eebsites and try this. great idea. could do a good deadmans switch this way. if not "@reddit; my greencat is hungry for beetles again today" then destroy or release files. damn brillinat. and of course it could be looking for a list of preapptoved phrases in a text file anyone of which could be a instruction for something unrelated to the text. just meeds to be odd enough to not be randomly posted by someone else. someone else has a green cat that likes beetles! just triggered a big nasty file release. oops. better not get banned from the a site where you cant get another account to post with though. by the way...this post is not being scraped..... i promise. i really do have a green cat and purple dog that jump rope

sorry but just new arrangemets of icons that have neen around for 30 years. i see no revolutionary changes. not enough to risk another chinese back door over. when someone invents the icon that can click itself because it knows i want it without searching then that will be a real change. (patent pending 10/20/19 sorry patent trolls. this is the prior art record for the self selecting icon "using AI")

tje pre ipo investor was the mark this time. celebrities who got hooked by their uber inside preipo profits came back amd doubled down in the classic move of the stupid mark. can you say "punked"? this time with wework the info leaked out just before they could pass on the hot potato. but dont forget everyprofessional in the private offering space made money selling these pre ipo deals to them. thebrokers selling it to the private preipo investors. and the ceo of wework will walk with hundreds of millions regardless. he already took that out. in this case the ones who got shafted were the false insiders like celebrity investors eho thought they were going make out like preipo uber investors did. the pre ipo investor became the mark this time around. wall street took their money back that they had let them win with uber. the celebrity private investor stayed too long at the roulette wheel and upped the ante instead of cashing out after uber. its like all the madoff investors. they were rich insiders making a killing until they realized they were just the marks.

companies are overvalued except for everything else. in the end when the currency collapse comes (if the masters of the universe dont put us in a war to delay it again) then having a stock claim on some business or hard property immune to inflation will be similiar to owning gold or bitcoin. that is why dtocks keep being attracticlve. bonds are risky. stuffing curremcy under the mattress will be worthless. gold is heavy. not everyone can manage rental property. hence stock baskets regardless of earnings.
