I was eleven years old and as I walked into the theater with a bag of popcorn and a large Coke, I was overcome with excitement. I rushed to get a good seat, right in the middle, and as soon as the first Brachiosaurus walked on the screen and John Hammond uttered those famous words, ‘Welcome to Jurassic Park,’ my jaw dropped further than Dr. Grant’s. Holy shit. Yes, as an 11-year-old I thought, what if dinosaurs could be real?” [// Rolling Stone »]( [/curious] [Why you should read The Merge | The Merge]( [Why you should read The Merge]( In air combat, aerial warfighters engage with enemy aircraft by steering their plane toward the adversary. This concept is called “going to the merge.” It’s also an incredibly unique and engaging newsletter. There's a reason people in the Pentagon and Congress read the Merge. They get weekly knowledge bombs on the intersection of defense business, technology, and industry happenings — with a sprinkle of history, policy, and strategy — delivered with fighter pilot wit. That’s why we at The Futurist love it, we get a weekly sneak peek into the most intense tech sector there is: Defense. Go to The Merge each week, we dare you.

Increasingly common too is Covid-related hair loss. Known as telogen effluvium, this phenomenon manifests as clumps of hair falling out after brushing or washing your hair.” [// Bio Informant »]( [/lifestyle] [Is remote work the start of a new class struggle? | Welcome to the Jungle]( [Is remote work the start of a new class struggle?]( “During the pandemic, many people working on-site jobs or close to the general public were unable to continue. Some workers, like waiters and bartenders, were forced to reflect upon their situation… or, perhaps more accurately, it drove them to address a whole host of issues they hadn’t dared to confront before. As a result, a significant number of people decided to change careers: partly driven by precarious economic conditions, and partly by a quest for better work-life balance.” [// Welcome to the Jungle »]( [/health] [All the tests in the world, all right here (well, mostly) | Easy Test Hub ]( [All the tests in the world, all right here (well, mostly)]( Need to know what is the best at-home metabolism test?

Specifically, ILM used computers to analyze ‘all the past Indy films’ and then create a baseline version of the FaceSwap that VFX artists could use to weigh the pros and cons of different techniques. It also gave the team an easy way to pull reference images from old Indiana Jones movies and other material to match each shot in Dial of Destiny.” [// Inverse »]( [/bites] [Get ready to empty your wallet]( [// How to use AI to make life better, not the other way around »]( [// It’s time to go to The Merge »]( [// Learn programming, data science, and more so you can control AI, not be controlled by AI »]( [/trippy] [@polyhop on Instagram]( [@polyhop]( Interested in having one of your social posts featured in The Futurist?
