Tomorrow Daily - 129: Walking on the sun, post-mortem Facebook and more

2015-02-12
on today's show NASA is giving you a way to experience what it might be like to hang around the surface of the Sun facebook is introducing its very own Facebook graveyard oh yay way to bring it dark and Google is working with some interesting data trees with their brand new feature knowledge graph we're going to tell you all about it I was really nerdy so it's not really greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily I'm co-host ashley's gather join me as always kill anonymous it's our face it's a Valentine's Day episode hey don't wear my red sriracha shirt because love is hot it's technically our Valentine's Day of choice because because it's the day Friday we don't work saturday we don't so we didn't team it in anyway so I were read as much as I just said is the all-inclusive amount of Valentine's Day there is in this episode yeah yeah so yeah with this Facebook graveyard thing so let's yeah we're gonna we'll listen you could gift somebody the gift of a legacy moderator as done that is like oh darn yeah that's that's very good as getting a toucan your apartment that is true um all right guys let's hit headlines okay so I saw this and I thought it was so cool and I now I want to immediately booked a flight to Maryland to go check this out this is called solarium and it's from NASA so nASA has had what is called the Solar Dynamics Observatory it's been up in the sky for five years it has been taking pictures about every second of the Sun for the last five years so they just released this video and it's it's super super high definition like the resolution on these pictures is insane so this is you know all those videos of like those beautiful high res videos of the Sun moving and all that other stuff that you've seen online over the past years sure usually compiled from images from the SDO so amazing yeah so basically how it works is it keeps tabs on all the UV light that's coming out of Sun snaps a picture like I said about once every second and each picture is about eight times the resolution of an HDTV so it's pretty it's like eight thousand pixels Wow we are comparing it to 4k anyway so yeah yeah so um so the cool thing about this is there the pictures are actually in black and white and because they actually the sto records the images in binary code and then they bring in the code and then it can create these images and then actual people scientist that now is that color eyes the images yeah and show us what different things look like so they colorized base there's like a whole color code based on like oh if this is UV then it would be this color and if this is this it would be color it's really really interesting okay so now that we've established the sdl let's talk about solarium so solarium is the exhibit that they're going to be doing this is a huge video art installation that allows you to stand in the middle of basically the Sun erupting like look at that crazy little girls is like whoa that is what it's like to be on facebook check that out just what do you mean stand in the middle so they have a full a full like three wall installation where you basically walk into the middle of it and then it encompasses you it's not all the way around it's not 360 degrees but they have this whole exhibit where you're able to walk through and then there's like a huge video wall where you stand there and it'll show you all of these crazy beautiful high-definition images like right in the Sun and I just I love all the pictures that they show to this one minute of footage for this is about 10 hours of work Wow to colorize and get all the data and create the image all that stuff so there's a lot of work that's gone into this and so two different places where you can see it right now it's on display at the NASA Goddard Visitor Center in Maryland as a permanent installation so it'll just be there and admission is free there I found that out on the website which is very cool if you live in the area i highly recommend you go see this and then it'll also be shown in tucson arizona until May seventeenth as part of the it's part of at the center for creative photography as it's going to be traveling installations there's nowhere hotter than tucson arizona and that's a fact and that's why it's basically side surface of the sun it is like the surface of the sun so they're like let's just put it there because people won't even know the difference they'll come in from outside and be like oh it's just like being outside i'm on the surface of the sun yay but yeah i just thought that was so cool that they were doing that and i love those um you know whenever they have the all of the different coronal mass ejections and stuff from the Sun I always liked watching all those videos because they're so beautiful and fascinating me that we can see the Sun in that amount of detail it's just so cool it's terrifying it's a little bit Tara beautifully terrifying it scare citing it is so speaking of scare citing okay it's a little weird so we're gonna bring it down in a way facebook today has turned turned facebook into kind the cemetery alright so in Rosie's Liam so previously when someone passed away there was no way to kind of curate what showed up on their Facebook well now they're allowing the ability for a loved one to kind of take over your account after you pass right and and cure rate for you this is called legacy contacts and basically what happens is you get to select one person who will be able to post on your account not as you but as you as you as their themselves the content or leaf memorial posts and they can pin it to the top of your page and basically just give you a nice place for all of your friends a nice digital send-off yeah to kind of leave their comments and whatnot they can't access your private messages but you can grant them permission to download an archive posts and photos and stuff like that you can only pick one person though so choose wisely because when you pass that's gonna be the person that's responsible for creating the crank your content it and I think this is great I think it's cool it's scary though wow it's scary that that Facebook is like yep people are gonna have facebooks and they're gonna die well this has been a actual problem so when people pass away traditionally on Facebook they were very adamant that no our user privacy is is paramount to us and I just rolled my eyes if you were just listening the show but they said you know no our user privacy is very important to us and we're not going to allow people into these accounts if we find out they died we lock the page and we turn it into a memorial page which you can do like you can submit like to Facebook and say this person has passed away and then I think you have to actually send in like a death certificate to like have it converted because here's the thing you don't want some troll going over me like I heard kill anonymous died yeah it's real terrible like you don't want that would I care someone's takes over my account rest in peace game it's not gonna be any worse than it is now so um but that was one of the things that a lot of grieving sort of family members and friends would say they're like well how can we even you know if someone gets a friend request or like how can we manage this page without you know obviously we're not gonna want to troll we just really want to manage this page and we want to make this memorial or whatever and so Facebook finally kind of caved in on this which is really interesting but I think it's one of these super fascinating areas of like future tech that we don't consider is like what happens to all of our social media profiles when we die and what happens you know what do you do with all that stuff like and now being able to delegate like you can actually will your your profile information to people like if you put it in your will like Facebook will give you legacy control over that account like if you if you just will it which is so weird and super mal ittle bit morbid but the thing is it's also something you just don't think about man you are super into this I really am it's a super fast again I get it I thought it was very interesting it's just should be interesting to see what happens it's such an inevitable I mean obviously like I know not to be a downer only a step forward in and how we how many deal with stuff it's so weird it's like really rocking your world what's just these are part of your affairs now like these are things that you have to get an order you liked gosh what am I gonna do with my Twitter page like what am I gonna do with my Twitter handle like can you will your Twitter handle to somebody it's just so weird I hate it honestly because I think that it's quite jolly the life you live and the people you know in person are the things that should matter to kind of like fair kind of have that like digital space be an important thing to you is a little unsettling it's very important these days but to me it's just kind of like the you know getting the initial out there but like having to worry about it that much it's just it's so stressful well the other dress off an out enough later this is something like smelly poop oh you know without having to worry about like Who am I gonna put in charge of this thing if I suddenly died about yeah I don't want to worry about that now I want to go home and be like well better hope the people like my poster i'm dr. picture and kayla and a coffin like like like like I'm just like it's fine your legacy creator could just look like LOL kale still God my slow mo mo like whatever um no I just I find this really fascinating it is a little creepy I'd like to think about but the thing is is it also is one of those future problems that we're now starting to have there's a certain amount of people you can't reach because you know there's always certain amount of people you can only reach because of the social networks yeah there you go so super interesting find that very fascinating um you just love the dead that's it's really all it is I do it's so true um so I have been like a like a medical examiner in a prior life or something um all right I got to tell you about knowledge graph so data is not necessarily the most exciting thing ever but I found this to be really cool so Google announced knowledge graph this week I mean they have this video and it's super interesting and basically knowledge graph is going to try to bring your searches into context so um and Link a bunch of things together so remember when we saw the galaxy for Wikipedia yes okay kind of reminds me of that so let's say so they're going to add this panel to the right side of your search that actually utilizes knowledge graph so let's say you look up something that you're interested in but maybe don't know a lot about like peripheral topics around it or people around it so knowledge graph is going to help you find that information much much easier as opposed to continually typing in like okay so you type in like da Vinci and then it shows you a bunch of search results or da Vinci and nothing else and it might say like related searches like somewhere yeah okay now you're going to get this panel on the right side of your google search it almost reminds me of a Wikipedia entry um which i think is a little bit clever and also kind of it's a little bit of an undermine on Wikipedia but I I think it's a really good idea they're doing this so now let's say you type in Leonardo da Vinci you've never heard of any other Renaissance painter you have no idea what you're looking for now it'll say here's all these paintings by Leonardo da Vinci here's other Renaissance artists they already have this with like movies and whatnot yes and tigers and like when you have an actor it's like here are the mindy be rather related yeah so now the news is that they're doing there are disbanding this well they're just expanding it for its called knowledge graph so it's gonna be everything so they're even so they're working with um the thing that I found really interesting was uh if you look up like measles for example it's like been a big thing here in the news like in California because it's at Disneyland um if you look up measles on the right hand side on that panel it'll tell you like symptoms and what it is and blah blah but it's all double fact-checked by like places like the Mayo Clinic so it's like very good solid information it's not just like well I'm not really sure I'm clicking here in this like list of links so they're giving really good information that's actually been fact-checked by different organizations depending on the topic which I find very I think I think it's great and I think it's much easier to search visually through something like Google yeah I think it's really smart of them because the thing is is like sometimes you type in a search phrase in your psyche I don't even know what I'm looking for like sometimes I'll type in something I just I need like either a visual reference or something to like give me that context so I think this is really smart and they're saying for me I think this might actually change the way that we searched like that we use search engines because instead of just giving you you know text right links they already have like I said I already have this written stuff like that people know it's just it just creates that rabbit hole that you follow the search rabbit hole just like you to Wikipedia yeah wikipedia and youtube so they're trying to do that now with search which i think is really interesting and I'm also very smart on Google's part of a good kind of a good move forward for them in terms of search engine so all right guys we are gonna take a quick break we'll be right back with a rounded into it because it is Thursday and then also we have your user feedback because came up was a really good user feedback about those sheep and we also have our phone tog refer the day so don't click away it's tomorrow daily welcome back to the show it's finally happened ladies and gentlemen keel Anonymous has consumed too much sugar it wasn't that much weight was like a bucket the surge remember I had this urge on this episode of you're like that wasn't even as much sugar as that iced coffee that you no good like a little kid ate too much candy so what are we doing now oh well it's Thursday which means we have to tell everybody all the cool stuff that we like which means it's time for into it Cal what are you into okay so I actually do like to find something and then get obsessed with it and then move on to something else okay so i actually have never really listened to podcasts cuz i was like i'm gonna start at the top work my way down gotta install start of the cereal and so I'm into the Nerdist podcast I know this is nothing new but i'm really glad i waited this long to get you to you yeah i'm really glad i waited to get into it I'm only talking about the audio podcast on iTunes and I'm only talking about the interviews okay like because what this has caused me to do is look at this wall of like all these people and find out hey who really inspires me who would i'd like to know some some stuff and so gabe newell i just listen to metallica this morning during my workout which is super interesting yeah it's great the listen o gara mo del toro the demos now or a good one yeah so it's really cool to kind of like get some insight into because we're in this industry into how people think and everybody has a different path that's always what's crazy um yeah it's really interesting to me and i'll probably go on to something else very soon but yeah it's been super entertaining their bide your time very well and I know nobody's new to podcast but if you haven't listened Nerdist podcast in a while try to a cool just go back and see if there's anything that interests you so that's one thing I really like about the Nerdist fog is in other party house as well as they're very evergreen like you can just go back and listen to and it's not super timely or otherwise like oh you got to listen to it this week otherwise you're gonna miss out like you can listen you can go back like yours and be like oh hey like I really like that director although some of them some of that they're evergreen but there's one I listen to Kevin foggy mm-hmm and he was talking about guardians of galaxy they had just started filming it oh I really think people are gonna like it I really think it's gonna just gonna do okay like we were scared cial everything's gonna do okay it's like he's like we're just worried that like if we make this and it fails will not get to do another one just like this is great you don't know it's gonna be so good you're like I love the future and I'm gonna tell you it works but it's it's really cool um it's it's also great that Hardwick lets them talk which is like you know he's nice usually anybody that hosts a podcast they're like that well I'm the host I'm gonna text so that that's what I just like let them adjust the information is what's important so anyway that's what I'm really into and that is a good into and probably next week a von Bulow setting a podcast anymore well yeah yeah you're just gonna be done with it um so do you into I ok so PlayStation Plus has a few free games this month and among them is this game called apathy on that I've been playing is awesome and I like there are it's not a you know it's not a 10 out of 10 it's an it's a little indie game there's some there's some control issues like here and there like sometimes but it looks like you are on a grecian like earn like the entire game has this beautiful to di peggio Grecian painting like it just looks so awesome and you pick up it's kind of like an action RPG you can pick up different weapons that are all kind of appropriate for the time frame that this takes place in you have to like go up to Mount Olympus and fight the gods and like all this stuff that is a beautiful looking game it is gorgeous and it's actually pretty intuitive like it's it's pretty straightforward it's fun I like I've just been having a really good time playing it and it was free because I have playstation plus so I was just like
