Re:Microgravity 101 on Sunday April 13, 2025 @06:40AM (#43671786)
I'm confused, the article simultaneously claims the ISS isn't "zero-G" and is "0G". Is it possible to conduct a true 0G experiment on the ISS, or is there always microgravity i.e. '10⁻³G to 10⁻⁶G'?

I used those too, but it makes the upgrade to Vue 3 quite a bit harder.

Luckily this law is not just for phones!

Was the drone not using the encrypted variant of GPS?

Optimal decisions for themselves, not for the country.

Sounds similar to Delft University of Technology too.
If we look at hospitalizations or deaths the difference is still significant.

> Outbreaks due to Salmonella are on the rise, with S. Enteritidis causing one in six food-borne disease outbreaks in 2016. Salmonella bacteria were the most common cause of food-borne outbreaks (22.3%), an increase of 11.5% compared to 2015. They caused the highest burden in terms of numbers of hospitalisations (1,766; 45.6% of all hospitalised cases) and of deaths (10; 50% of all deaths among outbreak cases).

> Total surveillance or global DNA law enforcement database would solve many murders and prevent wrongful convictions. However, it would also give many opportunities for framing convenient suspects and "encouraging" confessions.

I am afraid it could cause wrongful convictions as well. Let's say there is a 1 in a million chance of a false positive, if you have an enormous database there is a large probability of a false positive even though your individual risk is low. As far as I understand DNA evidence is often damaged or incomplete, meaning this could be a serious risk.

No, a classical connection (e.g. the internet) is needed for quantum teleportation. This classical connection won't be faster than light.

The image is correct. The information is sent over a classical channel, not using entanglement.

Stephanie Wehner also taught a great course on quantum cryptography.

As I understand it, that is only true when dealing with density matrices. For example, |0>⊗|0> + |1>⊗|1> is entangled and has tensor products. I think that Xcelerate is correct in saying that all combinations of the basis vectors form the basis of the multi-particle Hilbert space, as a single-particle wavefunction is just a vector/ket.
It's just his style, if you look him up on Google Images you'll see he always wears shirts like that.
