That guy must've been vaccinated as a child.
I use to sell IT to the HPC / Supercomputing crowd. It was astonishing the fall out in funding for all kinds of awesome science that happened when the US dropped the ball on Supercolliders. I didn't realize all the negative consequences and funding drying up as a consequence of that decision prior to that. One more step in ceding future industry innovation to other countries.Quote:

That's amazing. Crazy how it can target only heroin.Quote:

Unfortunately is was probably something way less cool, like the sub-standard collider that already existed was in that person's district and was trying to protect it.
China Shatters “Spooky Action at a Distance” Record, Preps for Quantum Internet
Results from the Micius satellite test quantum entanglement, pointing the way toward hack-proof global communications—and a new space race
https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...ntum-internet/
In a landmark study, a team of Chinese scientists using an experimental satellite has tested quantum entanglement over unprecedented distances, beaming entangled pairs of photons to three ground stations across China—each separated by more than 1,000 kilometers. The test verifies a mysterious and long-held tenet of quantum theory, and firmly establishes China as the frontrunner in a burgeoning “quantum space race” to create a secure, quantum-based global communications network—that is, a potentially unhackable “quantum internet” that would be of immense geopolitical importance. The findings were published Thursday in Science.
Woah. That's a big leap, fuck yeah.
Dumber than that even. Just short-sighted dipshits with a hard-on for austerity in the wake of the collapse of the USSR:Quote:

The super collider, in contrast to majestic projects like the space shuttle missions or the contemporary International Space Station, couldn’t readily offer any consequences of its science. You can see images from a space station, see a rocket propel from the Earth. You cannot see a beam of protons collide, nor the particles which that collision reveals. Schwitters recalls this period, saying that the SSC became a “really great program that was unexplainable to the politician or common person. It made it easy to jettison.”
In roughly a year’s time, Schwitters had watched a merrily progressing SSC project shift into one that needed adamant and constant defending before Congress and the Senate. He referred to this period from ’92 to ’93 as a “firestorm,” or “maelstrom.” In 1993 he told the New York Times, “We should be devoting ourselves to completing this machine as rapidly and as cheaply as possible, and getting on with real science. Instead, our time and energy are being sapped by bureaucrats and politicians. The SSC is becoming a victim of the revenge of the C students.”"

While it's nice to be protected from the sun's occasional temper tantrums, you do understand the difference between reflecting energy back out into pace where it came from and reflecting it back down to the surface where it came from, right??
