Ben Lamm, the billionaire founder of Colossal Labs, and Sophie Turner spoke about his company’s efforts in reviving the long-extinct dire wolf during a panel at SXSW’s first London outpost. The wolf re-entered the public consciousness because of the television show “Game of Thrones,” in which Turner was a leading character. It turns out that even she thought that dire wolves were mythical creatures. “Were you a fan of ‘Game of Thrones’?” Turner asked. “I was a fan of ‘Game of Thrones,’” Lamm

On December 17, 1917, the U.S. Navy submarine USS F-1, crashed off the coast of San Diego. Now, more than a century later, researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) have collected the first high-definition visuals of the wreckage. During a series of seven dives conducted earlier this year, researchers employed the crewed underwater vehicle Alvin and autonomous underwater vehicle Sentry, both based on the WHOI research ship Atlantis, to snap close-ups of the sunken submarine.

One of the issues in ticketing is that many events have much more demand for tickets than they can supply. Obviously, this is a good problem to have (better than empty halls), but it attracts certain types of bad actors trying to get as many tickets as possible in order to resell them (“ticket scalping”). While this is possible of course just by buying tickets like a regular customer, many of them use computer programs (“bots”) to enhance either their chance of claiming a ticket or their scale o
