Lone 18-year-old kills 18 people, many of them teens, in shooting and bomb attack at college, Russia says
At least 18 people, many of them teenagers, were killed, and over 50 others were injured in a bomb and shooting attack at a college in Crimea that local officials said was carried out by a student. Russia’s Investigative Committee, the equivalent of the FBI, said it believed the attacker was Vladislav Roslyakov, a fourth-year student at the college which is in the Black Sea city of Kerch on Crimea's east coast. Roslyakov was captured on CCTV entering the college holding a gun shortly before the shooting began, said Svetlana Petrenko, a spokeswoman for the committee.

The Bay Area is so expensive that employees at Apple, Uber, Google, and other tech giants are putting off having kids — and it's a sign of a much larger trend
The San Francisco Bay Area is getting so expensive that more than half of its tech employees, from Amazon to Apple, say the increased cost of living has caused them to delay starting a family, according to a survey by the app Blind. Despite earning six-figure salaries, tech employees in the Bay Area can barely afford a place to live, let alone start a family. The Bay Area is a notoriously expensive place to live — even for high-earning tech employees.

Stephen King just tweeted his reaction to 'The Haunting of Hill House'
Okay, fine, I guess I'm going to have to watch The Haunting of Hill House . Ever since the nightmare-inducing trailer came out I've been half-intrigued, half-wary (I'm embarrassingly easy to scare when it comes to supernatural, jumpy stuff). But now Stephen King has waded in, so I guess that seals it. SEE ALSO: The real terror of 'Hill House' lies in family trauma On Tuesday night, the King of horror posted the following tweet. THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, revised and remodeled by Mike Flanagan. I don't usually care for this kind of revisionism, but this is great. Close to a work of genius, really. I think Shirley Jackson would approve, but who knows for sure. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) October 17, 2018 "Close to a work of genius, really." You can't get much higher praise than that, can you? Here's another look at the trailer, just so you can make sure you're fully prepared: *Gulp*... WATCH: Ever wonder how the universe might end?

Morgan Knutson, who worked at Google for eight months before resigning in May 2012, described a lack of vision for the service and wasted resources while detailing ways Vic Gundotra, the overall leader of Google+, wielded his massive power within the company.

Proud Boys: The male-only far-right fringe group who advocate 'Western chauvinism' and love Aladdin
Three people were arrested on the streets of New York City last week as violence erupted between members of the far-right political group known as "Proud Boys" and leftist protesters from Antifa. No members of the “new right” organisation were arrested but onlookers said its members had been at the heart of the fighting outside of the Metropolitical Republican Club, where their leader, Gavin McInnes, was giving an address. A flyer for the event in question promised that Mr McInnes, “banned from Twitter”, had “taken on and exposed the Deep State Socialists and stood up for Western Values”.

China to launch artificial 'moon' into orbit to light up city
China is to launch a fake "moon" into space that it hopes will illuminate one of the country's biggest cities. Officials in Chengdu, a city of 14 million people in China's southwestern province of Sichuan, announced plans to place a satellite in orbit by 2020 capable of reflecting sunlight onto its streets at night, claiming it will be bright enough to entirely replace street lights. The satellite would use a reflective coating to direct light to illuminate an area on earth of up to 50 square miles, according to Wu Chunfeng, chairman of the city’s Aerospace Science and Technology Microelectronics System Research Institute. The launch follows a similar project in 1999 when Russian researchers planned to use orbiting mirrors to light up cities in Siberia, hoping it would be a cheaper alternative to electric lighting. The scheme developed by Russia used a device called Znamya 2. It was equipped with a 25-metre mirror to illuminate a three-mile wide patch of land. During its first orbit the craft was destroyed following a collision in space. The scheme was abandoned. Technology intelligence - newsletter promo - EOA In remarks first reported by CIFNews, Mr Chunfeng told a science event in Chengdu that the artificial moon, which has been undergoing testing for several years, will produce at least eight times more light than the real moon. He did not say how much the project would cost. Scientists have warned the device could disturb wildlife and disrupt systems that observe the earth’s atmosphere. However, Kang Weimin, a director at the School of Aerospace at the Harbin Institute of Technology, told CIFNews that the satellite will produce a dusk-like glow, meaning it will not affect animals.
