triangulate the position of the device to a 5m (15 ft) radius. Newer GPS satellites also broadcast a L5 radio signal, at a 10 MHz frequency. By combining the two signals, chips can calculate the device’s position to a 30 cm (1 ft) radius.</p>
<p>Until recently there weren’t enough L5 GPS satellites in oribt, but starting 2018, top chip manufacturer Broadcom will support L5 signal analyis. Since most smartphones use Broadcom technology, soon your phone GPS will be much more accurate.</p>
                

                     chosen because its orbit is similar to Earth’s (6 degrees difference). Osiris-Rex is a small SUV-sized probe, so how does it complete a trajectory of almost 30 million miles?</p>
<p>The small spacecraft is a marvel of engineering and planning. It includes a small fuel tank which allows for takeoff and acceleration to the required velocity (19,000 mph), and to reach the asteroid uses a special maneuver called “gravity assist”. Basically, the maneuver includes using Earth’s gravity as a slingshot, harnessing Earth’s momentum to gain speed and point towards the asteroid.</p>
<p>The maneuver took place two days ago, on Sep 22, and sent the probe on a year-long trip towards the asteroid. Hopefully, Osiris-Rex will return with the biggest asteroid sample ever collected, contributing to our knowledge of the asteroid belt.</p>
                

                     person's face using DNA samples. The ability to recreate a person's face using their genomes could have potential benefits, especially in the field of forensic science. For instance, it could be possible to develop the face of a suspect from genetic material they may have left at the scene of the crime. It can also help to identify murder victims who have been damaged beyond recognition, such as those who had been burned or maimed.</p>
<p>In addition, there is further potential for this technology in the field of medicine, since facial features can be used to detect genetic diseases, meaning it is possible for some experienced doctors to give a diagnosis by looking at a face. Face2Gen, a startup developed by the FDNA, allows doctors to upload a patient's photo to an online database and get a list of possible diseases just using the image. According to remarks from FDNA’s chief executive, Dekel Gelbman, doctors and researchers in approximately 130 countries are already using the device.</p>
                

                     a global currency since they want control over the currency used in their country. According to Damon, if Bitcoin gets big then governments will ban Bitcoin operations, rendering it a small black market phenomenon.</p>
<p>Damon also addressed the ICO wave, saying that “creating money out of thin air without government backing is very different from money with government banking”. He expects that eventually these cryptocurrencies will be ‘worth nothing’.</p>
<p>Critics say Damon doesn’t understand the value of creating a sub-economy based on a currency, while others point to a discrepancy between his remarks on governments shutting Bitcoin down and Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) being worthless.</p>
                

                     although the study was concluded in May 2015, the full report was never published and only one finding surfaced - box office sales of blockbuster films are hurt by movie piracy.</p>
<p>Julia Reda, member of the German Pirate Party and of the European Parliament, demanded that the full results of the study be published. After several attempts to block her request, the EU recently agreed to release the full results. Perhaps surprisingly, the study found no demonstrable damage to commercial activity due to Internet piracy, with the exception of the blockbuster films. </p>
<p>In response to the results, Reda says “<em>One cannot avoid the suspicion that the Commission intentionally suppressed the publication of publicly-funded research because the facts discovered were inconvenient to their political agenda.”</em></p>
