An Elitzur–Vaidman bomb-tester is a device that lets you test whether a light-sensitive bomb is a dud or not at arbitrary precision, without blowing it up. It is an example of interaction-free measurement.
The method does not really have any practical uses so far, although it has been demonstrated experimentally.
The white lines that divide the road on highways are about 10 feet long. Also, the space between each line is 30 feet. This may be US only. Don’t know about other countries.
Because across the human population, there’s almost nobody with 3 legs, but a considerable number of people with 1 leg. So the average number of legs across humanity is less than 2.
That means most people have an above average number of legs.
Yes, it would be less than 1, but I’d considered typing 0.99996 to be a waste of time and energy for a silly factoid, just like this reply to your comment.
All Intel CPUs have a Management Engine, basically a smaller CPU within the CPU designed for controlling the rest of the chip. It’s particularly good for things like IT management or devices because it operates with direct control over the other parts of the chip. This device’s firmware is based on Minix.
Cool, thanks. I work at Intel for a third party, but I have no idea how they get the chip to actually work. I only get the manufacturing process. Thanks for the info
it’s also particularly good for the nsa, reason why many people decide to block it (or at least minimize what it can do, since it can’t be blocked anymore)
They’re real theoretical science, but the kind of people who claim we already have them also tend to believe we’re being visited by extra-terrestrials and vaccines contain microchips.
A rose is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears.
Sounds made up
Apples, pears, quinces, apricots, plums, cherries, peaches, raspberries, blackberries, loquats, strawberries, rose hips, hawthorns, and almonds are all members of the rose family (Rosaceae).
Another government related one. The UK government were until 2015 still paying compensation to families that made their wealth in the slave trade, for it’s abolition. Another way to read this is that some wealthy families accepted tax payers money as compensation for their ancestors no longer being able to profit from the abuse of humans.
Good point, slightly inaccurately made. They weren’t still paying compensation in 2015. That was the year they finished paying off the debt taken out to pay compensation.
