Как изобрели письменность? Часть 1: от рисунков, токенов и прото-письма к клинописи

Наш современный мир переполнен, буквально затоплен текстами на разных языках, написанными разными системами письма. Они окружают нас везде, в оффлайне и тем более в онлайне. Человек XXI века ежедневно прочитывает столько информации, сколько образованные люди древности порой читали за всю жизнь. Обитателям сети очень трудно представить то, как жило подавляющее большинство человечества в прошлые эпохи — когда и текстов, и умеющих их читать было несопоставимо меньше. А большую часть истории...

Netflix's games strategy might be a mess, but Oxenfree studio's ingenious new chiller-thriller shows it has a secret weapon

Suddenly, Travis Touchdown's world had broken free of the TV, and I was thrilled. Oxenfree developer Night School's brisk new... Read more

FCC Approves Reflect Orbital's Space Mirror Satellite That Astronomers Hate

The FCC has approved (PDF) Reflect Orbital's Earendil-1 test satellite, which will use a 60-by-60-foot mirror to reflect sunlight back to Earth after dark.
