Whenever a new Netflix TV series or original movie catches your attention, try to sit down to watch it within the first month of it being on the streaming video service. Yes, many of us no doubt have a pile of content to watch that keeps getting larger behind the “My List” tab, but for those of you who save these things and tell yourself you’ll get around to them as soon as you can, just know that it’s within the first 28 days that Netflix has a pretty good idea of whether it decides a piece of content has been a hit or a miss.

That’s according to Cindy Holland, Netflix’s vice president of original content who sat for an interview moderated by Keshet Media Group CEO Avi Nir as part of the INTV conference (an annual event on innovation in television) Monday in Jerusalem. During the conference, she also shared some revealing data points about how much content Netflix subscribers are watching — and the different ways they’re doing so.

If you’ve ever been to an airshow you know just how cool it can be to see pilots perform fast flybys and stunts that seem to defy the laws of physics, but what about after the Sun goes down? Most planes aren’t all that interesting to watch in the dark, but the folks at Scandinavian Airshow came up with quite a solution.

The Catwalk aircraft is packed with pyrotechnic power and some seriously powerful laser visual hardware. In a new video by HD Melbourne Aviation we get to see the plane in action, and it surely is a sight to behold.

Save $30 on premium true wireless earbuds most people like more than AirPods

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Most reviewers seem to agree that the Jabra Elite Active 65t True Wireless Sports Earbuds are better all-around than Apple’s AirPods. They’re nowhere near as popular, of course, but they offer slightly better sound quality. More importantly, they have silicone tips so all that great sound actually stays in your ears instead of leaking out, as is the case with Apple’s smooth plastic tips. Jabra’s 65t buds typically cost $190, but a sale right now slashes $30 off that price to bring them down to $159.99 — and that price includes three months of Amazon Music Unlimited for free! Definitely check them out while they’re on sale.

Here are some of the key details from the product page:

  • Track workout performance with an integrated motion sensor

Just guess how much the Milky Way weighs

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Judging the size of something is often best done when comparing it to other things, but that line of thinking tends to break down when you start talking about objects in space. Earth is huge, but not when you compare it to something like Jupiter, and Jupiter is tiny compare to our Sun, and our Sun is tiny when compared to… well you get the idea.

So, when you’re trying to measure the weight of something as large as a galaxy it can seem almost too abstract to even grasp. We’ve barely seen a sliver of what the Milky Way contains, but scientists are doing their best to offer a big-picture estimate of what our home galaxy contains and how much it all weighs.
