So what quantum value is it? Shouldn't the argument then at least say "the number is greater than the number of possible states of the universe", or something like that?

Doing computations with single atoms also doesn't sound very practical. Measuring distances, I suppose there could be numerous ways, like measuring the gravity or electric pull (no…

What counts as an interaction? It seems to me there can be an infinite number of interactions between just two atoms.

As I said, one atom per digit is not really natural. Just two atoms could encode an infinite number of numbers, by measuring their distance. Well except quantum physics might get i…

I've never understood the "number of the atoms in the universe" argument. The number of states the universe can be in doesn't seem to be equal to the number of atoms. For example, …

"Positive Outlook" maybe sounds a bit naive. I mean that people have the means to do things and change things. Not everything is just a power play. Of course some situations in the…

I would guess that comparison to be very misleading. Singles presumably don't want to live in the countryside, they want to live in big cities with jobs and other people they could…

But are your suggestions a "Code of Conduct"? Like would anybody be expelled from a community for "not thinking about people who may be up at 3am trying to figure out their code"? …

Fair enough if it is useful for you. I am curious what makes it useful, as it seems to be a very negative and destructive way of thinking. At least I have never met an adherent to …

Code of Conducts - have they ever done any good? Maybe installing a CoC should be considered an inflammatory act in itself.

What makes you sure that is the right way to think about the world?

Since Bulgaria really doesn't seem to be very attractive at the moment, what about Lithuiana? What is the situation like there? The article mentions it as a competitor for fastest …

If you don't want pollution, regulate pollution. But this "everything should be repaired and the world would be better" is pure ideology. They think they can achieve less pollution…

It sounds as if inequality in the gilded age was mostly caused by masses of immigrants entering the country, hoping for a share of the high wages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil…

Not sure what EU rules you are referring to. All the phones I had were chargeable by standard USB socket and rootable, afaik. You have things like fairphone where you can exchange …

Simple: if people would want devices they could repair, they would prefer the products of companies offering such devices over the products of companies not offering such devices. …

If you trust the "experts" of the government, you are probably a big fan of Trump. And if Hillary had won, you would be a great fan of her. Experts are not better than business lea…

Nevertheless the same issue applies. You can't build everything from standard components.

Can you build an iPhone from standard parts?

So just ship your washing machine to Poland for repairs, I guess. Very energy efficient.

What about all the spare parts that have to be kept lying around? They are waste, too. Just one aspect. As usually, when politicians think they can do business better than the busi…

Does the paged text typically contain information that can identify the patient?

I don't understand why that is supposed to be a "new understanding". I think it was the understanding all along (or at least most of the time). Isn't even the famous moth that chan…
