What exposure meters are they talking about? UV?

Most likely they packed one queen per tube, and then some of the queens had had workers spawn by the time these guys got busted

Lift to Experience, and meWithoutYou. I don't think either is really evangelizing but they're heavy on the biblical imagery and allusions. And they're both certified hood classics

Why eliminate standardized testing?

We've already done bosonic sampling that's classically intractable. Google published it a few years ago. So yes, quantum supremacy has already been proven. It's a useless toy problem, but one a classical computer just can't do.

Yes, error correction will get harder the more we scale, but we're pretty sure we've reached the point where we win by throwing more qubits at it. Again, now it's engineering the scaling. No mean feat, it'll take a long time, but it's not like this is all speculation or fraud. The theory is sound

Re: quantum computing, we know quantum advantage is real both for certain classes of problems, e.g. theoretically using Grover's, and experimentally for toy problems like bosonic sampling. It's looking like we're past the threshold where we can do error correction, so now it's a question of scaling. I've never heard anyone discuss a limit on computation per volume as applying to QC. We're down to engineering problems, not physics, same as your brain vs computer case.

What do you mean? The popular image is of the Somali militias using Soviet-designed weapons. AKs and such

20S/cm. Copper is at 580kS/cm

Hostels check your ID when you check in. If the receptionist wants to check that your ID matches your face before you get a room key, you don't have a choice. I suspect the "flirting" is NYPD bullshit

I did some tire maintenance about six months ago. Generally not bad, but if you don't have a tank air compressor you're going to have a hard time seating the thing

Yanukovych fled because people started raiding armories and shooting at Berkut. In Egypt the army sided with the protestors. Don't know Tunisia and Algeria off the dome but I doubt there was no violence or threat of imminent violence

And we invented the transistor!
