  1. Well, the energy of the electron must come from the travelling photon, so there must be some kind of interaction.
    It could fall into the group of weak measurements, which I recently read about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  2. Who stays too long as the boss will get sued in th on Tesla Autopilot Crisis Deepens With Loss of Third Autopilot Boss In 18 Months (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe that's just the problem here? If I've guy is the boss all the time he will be made responsible for the people who die due to any bug in the autopilot, because they should have seen it. If the boss keeps changing they can always blame someone else.

  3. There is no way to measure things without breaking the entanglement. Even the interaction with a photon breaks. That's basic quantum mechanics of coupled states.

  4. Germany stopped using its old-style letters in 1941. Though it already used both styles in parallel for 400 years.

  5. Re: And nothing about sulfur? on Carbon Dioxide From Ships at Sea To Be Regulated For First Time (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    They have dropped on land, partly due to filtering. But also because all the sulfur-rich fuel is burned on ships now.

    Yes, but I think this is a pretty bad idea, because the SO2 will be gone much faster than the CO2. Blowing it into the air now will just delay the warming, and result in a large catastrophic change when SO2 production stops.

  7. And nothing about sulfur? on Carbon Dioxide From Ships at Sea To Be Regulated For First Time (theguardian.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    All the dirtiest oil from the refineries is burned in ships because their SO2 emissions are not regulated. A large ship emits as much SO2 as millions of cars. Yet they regulate CO2 for ships?
    CO2 for planes would have been interesting.

  8. Re:Trump is a big sellout ! on Trump Proposes Rejoining Trans-Pacific Partnership (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0

    My intuition tells me the TPP is a military deal disguised as an economic one. Syria just started using chemical weapons and Trump wants to attack, but his military advisers advisers have convinced him not to until we have a stronger coalition in the S. Pacific so that we can worry less about N. Korea / China. I bet the minute we rejoin the TPP we launch strikes in Syria.

    I doubt if Syria used chemical weapons. The only proof we are presented is a video which looks pretty fake. Maybe they know more, but I think they just want to show Russia its limits.

  9. But floppy discs do work, when it is needed. All you need is a cheap USB drive.

    Ok the new way seems fine, I just wonder if they old way was really this stupid.

  11. Wait, what if I have no antivirus? on Microsoft Removes Antivirus Registry Key Check for All Windows Versions (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The article does not mention if Windows checked first for an incompatible antivirus software. Sounds as if it just waits for this key to appear.
    So without antivirus it will never update? And if there are two antivirus softwares it will update as soon as one is compatible, making the system crash due to the other?

    Ok I wasn't aware that the definition of "car" is different than that of the common translation to german ("Automobil"), which includes buses and trucks.

    What? These are all production cars. I did not list any concept car.

    Car manufactures? This century? Post Model T?

    Wikipedia tells me that it is used in several newer concept cars. Also in three cars produced in series:
    MW Motors Luka EV
    and from the German wikipedia, the Chinese electric BYD ebus and the Mercedes-Benz Citaro Fuel Cell Hybrid bus.
    The Liebherr T 282B ultra heavy truck also seems to use on axle electric motors.

    It is an interesting solution though, which is (or was?) used by some manufacturers. It has advantages and disadvantages.

  16. Exactly, I also miss its efficiency on Ask Slashdot: Do You Miss Windows Phone? (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    It not only runs fast on basic hardware, my Windows phone also had a way longer battery life than my Android phones with a comparable battery size (and weight).

  17. The opinion of EFF on this topic is not a surprise. But probably other interest groups also stated their opinion? Would be interesting to get a wider range of views on this.

  18. Is it used by others? It would be logical not to waste it, so it should be sold to others. The article sounds though as if this is not relevant to them. It sounds as if they just want to drive renewable energy.
    Do they even have a reduction of conventional energy production in mind? Nothing is mentioned in that way.

    2015 they blocked a link that I sent in a private message. It was just to a website with erotic stories. I reported this as a bug, but they did not respond.

    He is right though. Popultion growth is the main driver of migration. The population grows in every country, the hunger becomes less and less. And they want to tell us that the food production is shrinking and driving migration?
    I think these aid organisations are all unable to correct their world view, especially where they are actually causing problems.
    A main driver of population growth is the reduction of child deaths ...

  21. If the car has only 15 yards vision it was clearly going to fast, if it needs 20 yards to stop.

  22. That doesn't make any sense. Why does it matter to you if they make a profit on it?
