Does anybody else find it weird that whenever you have a voice over, be it satnav, Bluetooth speakers, promotional videos (of European companies!), etc. they almost always have American accents? Even before the whole buy European movement took off I found this weird, especially since British or Irish accents are way nicer to listen to in my opinion.

I always found flightconnections.com useful for getting an overview.

I've been bugging my colleagues with that same question the past months, the main difference between random number generators and qubits is the lack of quantum entanglement. To my surprise, I was actually able to find a passcode by just looking at the output probabilities.

Yes, took me months to see that too! The point of the chances is though, with some problems you don't need a definitive answer. Having a solution that solves 95% of your problem can be enough for the problems you would use a quantum computer in the first place. In other cases, your chance is somewhere between 99 and 100 percent so you practically still have a definitive answer.

Use cases are generally problems with very large amount of factors that are not feasible to calculate with normal comouters, think about chemical/medicine simulation and logistics optimization or public transport timetables.

Scientists are in my experience very often not natives.

Never thought I would see Germany resurrecting its military industries, and even welcoming it with open arms

Every student home I've lived in had Miele appliances, indestructible like Nokia phones.

Saw an interesting initiative for Android and iOS in general, an open source os worked on by people behind Fairphone and multiple EU countries called mobifree.org

Wouldn't it be possible to use something to jam the propellers instead of blowing it up? I heard about hawks being trained to throw nets on drones, a solution like that would make the drones reusable and significantly reduce the cost of taking one down. In case of a drone without props, attach a parachute to one of the wings and it will fall out of the sky softly enough you can maybe even salvage the parts

Try lightly biting on the tip of your tongue when you feel the urge, it often goes away.
