🇭🇷 Croatia got eliminated from the World Cup by a closed-source sensor.

FIFA says the Kinexon chip in the Trionda "proved" Matanović touched the ball. Absolute disgrace. What actually happened: they ran signal processing over 500Hz IMU data from a 14-gram sensor and isolated a supposed contact spike from thousands of noisy samples dominated by bladder harmonics, panel flex, spin wobble and stadium micro-tremors, then nullified one of the most dramatic World Cup equalizers in history via spectral analysis of what is essentially glorified noise.

Oh, and it gets better. They moved the chip this year. Back in 2022, it used to hang suspended in the center of the ball. Now it's glued into the sidewall of ONE panel, with counterweights stuffed into the other three so the ball doesn't fly like a shopping cart. So sensitivity now depends on which side of the ball the "contact" happens relative to the sensor. Totally fine basis for ending a nation's tournament.

An IMU measures acceleration. Somewhere in a proprietary pipeline, a threshold decides which acceleration counts as "touch." That threshold is unpublished. The false positive rate is unpublished. The calibration data is unpublished. The patents are literally still in their secrecy window. And FIFA owns the raw data, so nobody can independently audit the trace that ended Modrić's last World Cup.

And we're all supposed to accept a "heartbeat graphic" on the broadcast as if that settles anything.

Since we sadly all know you won't ever admit your crimes or remove this technology for good, at least open source the detection pipeline, @FIFAcom!

Publish the thresholds, the error rates, the raw IMU trace from last night. If the tech is right, transparency costs nothing, right?

This video is a funny compilation of people unboxing vacuum-sealed "bed-in-a-box" mattresses 😂🛏️. The moment the seal is cut, the mattress explodes open super fast 💥 and catches everyone off guard.

People end up shocked, losing their balance, and what should be a simple task turns into total chaos and hilarious fails 🤣😬

Walton Goggins saved Olivia Wilde's life on the set of "Cowboys & Aliens" when she was nearly stampeded to death by horses.

"I had a very bad horse accident, and he saved me. It was me and Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford galloping, like, full sprint across the desert with 40 horses behind us... this horse jumps and bucks me off in the craziest way. I fell off. I hit my head and my back, and I was laying [on the ground] but, unfortunately, I was on the other side of this kind of lip of dirt, meaning that all horses behind couldn’t see me. And there was also a lot of dust. I remember having my ear to the ground and I could hear it and it sounded like thunder, like they were coming towards me. I thought, it’ll be quick. It’ll be like, pulverized applesauce. Out.”

“Walt Goggins had seen [me] ahead of him and in a split second thought to turn his horse sideways right in front of me and let everyone kind of bash into him. people split the two sides around us thinking he had just gone insane, but he was protecting my body on the ground. And so I owe him my life. It’s crazy. He’s a real-life hero.”

I truly despise Bill Maher, but he actually is doing the American people a true service by reminding us exactly how good we actually have it, compared to the rest of the world! It took our Awesome POTUS to bring it forward, but Bill, for once brings light instead of Bull Shit!

You stare at it until it made sense or broke worse. Truth is, it's only a stupid idea if it doesn't work. Old school isn’t pretty but it gets the job done and gives you stories worth telling. 😃

After nearly 30 years on Mount Everest, the iconic "Green Boots" has finally been identified through DNA testing as Dorje Morup, an Indian soldier who disappeared during the deadly 1996 Everest blizzard. India is now preparing an expedition to bring its brave son home.
