Here in Virginia, they wrap new SmartTags (radio tags for toll lanes) in a square of foodservice aluminum foil. Maybe a foil hat is still the best idea.
I'm not sure they're the same thing - Uncertainty can be reduced by using better measurement methods. Unknowableness can't be reduced, or it wouldn't be unknowableness.
I agree... but IR is not heat. It is radiation that is given off by hot objects, but in the most basic sense, IR and RF are the same thing, that is, electromagnetic radiation.
Paper is the ultimate standard in information sharing. No batteries, drivers, software or manuals needed to read it, or to make notes or doodle on it. Also, if it is an often-used piece of paper (such as an office phone list), it is much faster to glance at the list on the wall of your cubicle than to open or switch to any program on the computer.

So you can't reduce the uncertainty of a measurement by using a micrometer instead of a yardstick?

So does that mean I can display a JPG of the sun on the monitor and burn objects (people?) in front of the monitor?
