In how far can this be deducted from 'classical' physics? Because phonons are not real, but quasiparticles, only quantised because of the geometrical setup.
Meaning: sonic waves have differences in pressure in them. Something of low pressure tends to go up (helium balloons) in a material, and vice versa. What if these do not eliminate each other exactly within one wavelength?
Thank you for your entertaining comparison, but we, Europeans, know where Houston is located. And Yellowstone. No need for the explanation. However, we do appreciate the fact that Yellowstone is located in your backyard... and not in ours, so thank you, again.
we can help: 2 phones on speaker and some audible guiding from our side. Would make an interesting conversation until they reach some kind of deadlock.
No, what happens usually is that the prophet was not particullarly good in math and calculated the wrong date. Let me quote you the original prophecy: "The system goes online August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug."
I think the awareness it created by doing an incorrect disclosure and the frantic reactions that followed, made it possible that many sites were patched, that otherwise were not patched at all, and certificates renewed, that otherwise would stay the same due to laziness of the maintainers.
The legitimate question is of course if that outweighs having the whole world open to this vulnerability for a short amount of time. (On the other hand, they were open anyway).
nothing that a spy satellite cannot accomplish. It might be that Finland does not have one available and want to check out the immediate border situation with Russia?
Currently, the most interesting option for me is secushare.org, because it is p2p. Make sure it is available on android/apple/etc. and easy to use. And the p2p-capabilities can provide your backup as well
ok, but what would you use it for... as a wrist thingy, I mean. What you describe, is just hardware specs, not much short of describing a general mobile device.
To be the devils advocate: The beneficiars are the manufacturers of said equipment and warehouses, which pay their employees and their suppliers for the work done, who in turn will pay their employees as well. And by the way these employees will buy houses, cars and food from other companies, which.... Need to go on? And every part will pay some tax as well.
The investments are probably paying themselves off. One can debate if the service delivered is a usefull one, but in the end it translates to 'real' economic value in terms of production of other goods. Because economy is about pumping money around. The faster, the better. And if the investment pays off really good, then there is money for investing in improved banking services as well. A win-win situation here.... Ok, I'm a bit sarcastic here.
So, my conclusion, yes, there is a cost, but yes, there is also a benefit to society in terms of economic activity (real). And I think it is better to focus on the unfairness part of it, which is on the part of the big, fast, but not so fast traders. But it is a rat race and I'm confident it will be sorted out. The end result is no one will make money this way and that again there will be a fee asked for trading. Problem solved.
Money: that store of value needs to be stable in terms of real world items. That is what the central banks take care off (indeed at will, look at QE, look at the promised bond bailout in Europe to ease the minds in the financial world). Inflation and deflation should not be high.
Limited or not is not the issue. It is a bigger problem that you don't know what you can buy today or tomorrow with a fixed amount of bit coins. But because it is limited, you can buy more and more ->deflation. And the various crack downs lately -> inflation.
So bitcoin, as has been mentioned before, is not suitable as money, but is more like a commodity

Mark Z. would call that facebook...
Anyway, so where do I find the nukes in GTA V?
love to be a freelancer...
well, it doesn't always bring you where you want to be.
yes, it does result in fewer accidents: here 1km/hr = 3% more or less

And people use to live to just 30 or 40.
Yes, but that has more to do with a lack of anti biotics, fluorized toothpaste and vaccines than a lack of vitamines.
And put that on a mobile...

Even better to wait another year, if you round the number correctly ;-)

Yes, but one or two things have changed in the mean time...
