This phrase "undoing the interactions" is vague. It sounded like they had some kind of new principle of superposition that had been discovered. From the article:
By eliminating the interactions between the optical channels, we are able to double the distance signals can be transmitted error-free...
In reality, they are using a higher-order symbol constellation (16QAM) to carry more information per symbol, and I suspect that they combined several optical channels into a larger bandwidth to do that. I think this phrase "undoing the interactions" is more accurately "exploiting the interactions".
About two years ago, I read that the main industry of the Greek oligarchs is "tax evasion". I doubt that has changed. In any case, it will be good to have a fresh set of eyes on the issue.
Okay, using encryption affects the probability. But don't forget the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing. I sincerely hope the case against them has demonstrable evidence, rather than claims of "we have real evidence, but we can't reveal it due to secrecy". I'm tired of that BS.
Too much empty floorspace in many of the RS stores, too. They are paying for all of that square footage. (Or meterage, if you will.) It's got to be costing them a bundle.
Escape velocity, followed by horrible overpopulation. I'm concerned that we might have the technological means to solve the former, but not the political (or social) means to solve the latter.
It doesn't matter if a culture that considers it better to burn a teacher alive than to let her instruct girls in reading and writing is wanting things to be like they were centuries ago, or if they simply want illiterate girls for the sake of keeping them illiterate. It doesn't matter. What matters is that they're acting to make it so.
In the near-term, you are probably correct.
In the long-term, those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Remember when SyFy had that "Exposure" series? They showed short films in the science fiction genre. There were some VERY COOL films. I was sad when then cancelled it.

If you take two Foster's tins that came from the same pack, aren't they quantum-entangled? I think the communications would work without the string.
Maybe not entirely. Here's a recent article about fake supplements: http://www.washingtonpost.com/...
Regulation, apparently, has its part to play.

So, I'm getting the impression that you are somewhat nonplussed about their position./s

Your sig: "To a coward, courage always looks like stupidity."
First of all, that's a cool sig. Second, what does it imply about us Slashdotters, when we mainly think Win 8 and Win 10 UI's are stupid?
I want mine to sound like the tomatoes from _Attack of the Killer Tomatoes_
That's above par for the course for Slashdot nerds.
Fixed that for you.
"...the NSA and its allies are laughing at the rest of the world."
Seriously, the two probable behaviors of voyeurs are either (1) laughter, or (2) heavy breathing.
"In reality there no such thing as a (formal) proof. You cannot prove the simplest things."
And that condition is exacerbated when the evidence is withheld from scrutiny, as occurs when the prosecutor claims "state secrecy".
"Inspector Dreyfuss, your wife is on the other line."

You call "1-2-3-4-6" pathetic?
Monsanto. Grrr. Frikking honeybee killers.
I'm imagining the Guidance Control Guy at SpaceX watching the hydraulic-fluid gauge with extreme trepidation, as the level sinks toward "E".
"Elon, I TOLD you we should have pulled over and bought more fluid at the last stop!"

Ah, thanks. I almost pee'd myself while reading that.
Actually, reverse 1 and 2.
P.S. Thanks for the link. SnoopSnitch seems pretty cool. I'm just trying to point out that the "Gov-hats" could compromise it.
Step 1: Deploy Stingray
Step 2: Deploy compromised SnoopSnitches
Step 3: (Government) business as usual.
