Advertisement The US$600 million agreement for the Saab JAS 39 Gripens was first announced in June as part of a long-term plan to modernise the air force’s combat capabilities. During five days of clashes with Cambodia that left more than 40 people dead, Thailand used its fleet of F-16s to strike military targets across the border. It was the deadliest border fighting between the two countries in decades. The purchase of four Swedish-built Gripen jets is part of a long-term plan to modernise

Incan numerical recordkeeping system may have been widely used

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-19 16:10:09

Inca bureaucrats recorded all the goings-on in their bustling empire using knotted cords called khipu, where the position and order of the knots represented numbers. They relied on the khipu system to track people, taxes, produce, livestock, and products like woven cloth and beer. Because khipu were so vital to the Inca government, and because the khipu itself is such a sophisticated way of recording numbers, colonial writers decided that these tools must be the exclusive knowledge of a very sp

New Details Emerge About Ancient Inca Counting Technology

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-08-21 16:00:01

The Inca were a pre-Columbian civilization whose empire sprawled along South America’s Pacific Coast from the 15th to the 16th century CE. Like other Andean peoples, they used khipus (also known as quipus), an intricate cord and knot system used to record information. According to Spanish colonial-era sources, only male Inca elites could make khipus. A new study, however, challenges this widespread notion. In a paper published today in Science Advances, an international team of researchers inve

What's Your Curl Type? (2025)

Like, for instance, how to brush them. My mother has straight hair and didn't quite understand how to deal with my curls when I was a child, so she would deal with unruly hair the only way she knew how: by brushing it. As a result, I look like a poodle in nearly every one of my elementary school photos. According to Syed, brushing and combing curly hair is OK—but only when the hair is wet. Unsurprisingly, pin-straight Type 1 hair is the easiest to comb or brush. However, Type 4 hair is not four

Drag x Drive is more drag than drive

When Nintendo announced Drag x Drive, a Joy-Con mouse-controlled wheelchair sports game, for the Switch 2 I was tentatively excited. I have a lot of time for developers trying new things, and sports video games are hardly replete with disability representation. Having been hands-on with the game, however, Drag x Drive has left me baffled and in significant pain.
