gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-02-02 08:00:27

On March 28, Myanmar was rocked by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that claimed over 5,000 lives and caused damage even in neighboring countries. In a study published July 10 in The Seismic Record, seismologists confirmed previous research indicating that the southern part of the large earthquake’s rupture, or fracture, took place at astounding speeds of up to between 3.1 and 3.7 miles per second (5 to 6 kilometers per second)—at supershear velocity.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google Maps is getting a few UI tweaks for the listing page. The “Popular times” section for a location has moved above the reviews section.

Make Map Icons with Orthographic Projections

news.ycombinator.com You Are Going To Send Email To 2026-02-02 12:01:06

An orthographic projection is the best approximation of a view of the earth from space. It’s an azimuthal perspective projection which creates an illusion of a three-dimensional globe. It’s an old projection, believed to have first been developed by the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks. In our time this perspective feels natural since our culture has assimilated how our planet looks from a spacecraft. A good example is Earth’s first portrait, taken from Apollo 8 mission astronauts in 1968: This pr

Next year, Apple will enter the foldable phone market, and after more than seven years of mainstream folding devices, its debut won’t be light on competition.

Radical New Theory Rewrites the Story of the Earliest Universe

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-02-02 17:05:38

Following the Big Bang, our universe expanded at an exponential rate. According to this theory, known as cosmic inflation, the explosive growth produced tiny quantum fluctuations that later evolved into galaxies. Cosmic inflation neatly explains how our universe got so large and mostly homogenous, and that’s why it’s remained a strong theory in cosmology for decades. But it’s far from perfect. Cosmic inflation depends on certain theoretical assumptions that can get rather arbitrary—not ideal fo
