A pyramid-styled housing complex was built in Chinaâs eastern Jiangsu province. With a spacious balcony on each apartment, residents have found it difficult to cook inside the kitchen, because vent hoods cannot be installed in the flat.

When Gabrielle Diamond and her boyfriend, Brian Cox, showed up for eviction court on October 15, they were more than a little nervous.
The two had been renting a bedroom in transitional housing for veterans in Kansas City, Missouri, since January, paying $600 per month for their month-to-month lease. Almost as soon as they moved in, Diamond says, the issues started. The building was unclean and attracted mice, and the landlord would make unannounced weekly visits; at one point, the couple were asked to move out temporarily for house repairs without any assistance, financial or otherwise.

The masks are slipping. Police move in on Adamsonâs BBQ. blocking access and changing locks to the building, according to CP24, which seems to have been given an exclusive on the storyâŠ
Mayor John Tory says the locks have been changed at Adamson Barbecue in Etobicoke on Thursday after the restaurant, for two days straight, defied the provinceâs lockdown orders that forbid indoor dining.
âIâve spoken to the police chief this morning ⊠and they have a plan. Heâs informed me the locks have been changed on the building ⊠and thereâs going to be a police presence there also ⊠it is going to be closed today, you can be sure of that,â Tory tells Breakfast Television.
Police and city staff arrived at the establishment around 6 a.m. with locksmiths in tow to change the locks.
In the dusty desert town of Woomera, in the South Australian desert, scientists are getting ready. On 6 December 2020, after six years in space, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agencyâs Hayabusa2 spacecraft will finally return to Earth.
It carries with it a cargo unbelievably rare, precious, and hard-won â at least 100 milligrams of material collected from the surface of asteroid Ryugu. It will drop the capsule containing the sample to Earth, the spacecraft itself continuing on to visit more asteroid targets.
Hayabusa2âs return will mark a milestone in a remarkable feat of space science, a total journey of around 5.24 billion kilometres (almost 3.3 billion miles). Asteroid Ryugu â formerly known as 1999 JU3 â is on an elliptical orbit that carries it just inside Earthâs orbital path around the Sun, and out almost as far as Marsâ orbit.
As an open-source developer, the question I hear the most is âwhy would you want to give that away for free.?â
In the field of AI, there are many reasons why opensource is key. First, the code for building models does not give away any competitive advantage because the value comes from models+your own data. Second, it lets the whole world help you find and correct mistakes. Imagine building a house where every architect in the world can contribute one tiny idea. But more importantly, AI is a really hard problem to solve.
The problems in the field cannot be solved by any one individual or group.
This week, a German company deployed 3D printing technology to construct a new residential block, which is set to become the largest printed apartment building in Europe.
Is this a case where money falls from the heavens!
This may start a craze where people chase after meteors! đ
A rock from outer space landing on your property and resulting in millions in your bank account sounds more unlikely that a lottery win, but one lucky man has found himself in the fortunate position.
Josua Hutagalung is a 33-year-old coffin maker based in Kolang, North Sumatra, Indonesia, who has become a millionaire overnight. A meteorite came crashing into his garden at the beginning of August and he later had to dig it out as it had been lodged in 5.9 inches.
Hutagalung was clearly lucky that his house wasnât hit by this incredibly fast-moving rock. However, his luck continued when the meteorite was valued.
