No, it’s the whole argument. You could imagine a probabilistic gate splitter that outputs two bits. Such that bits AB are either 01 or 10 with a probability distribution. That is you don’t know which of the two states…
Eh, that's still just correlation across a state vector. Honestly, quantum entanglement is proof that the many worlds / simultaneous superposition interpretation of quantum mechanics is bollocks. Really all QM says is…
No, what I'm saying is that a VPN application does not need access to my Documents folder, and if it tries to access it, then I'd like to know about it. Nor do I entrust it with all my network traffic. As to whether it…
Had the same concern, but the dialog tells you how to change it. Not only that, it'll take you directly to the correct location in system preferences, where all the apps & their permission status are listed.
Apple provides APIs for saving app settings in the app's sandbox. They require no additional permissions. You're probably right that it's not nefarious in this app's case, but rather just developer ignorance. But even…
Agreed. If you're the author and Alice and Bob are the imaginary characters in your example, then you get to decide their gender. Same as an author who is writing a novel, is free to invent characters and assign gender,…
Got any studies to back that up? Seems to be high enough to feel the effect. Never experienced this by just standing next to someone sipping coffee.
I'm also not forced to consume caffeine merely by standing next to you.
Thanks, that was an interesting read. Too bad my parent comment was shadow banned. I think discussing the merits (or lack thereof) of philosophy applied to the sciences would have been far more interesting than what…
Sure, if they emit an addictive airborne substance. Thanks for clarifying.
E-cigs should be banned. Same as cigarettes of any kind. In fact, any airborne addictive substance should be blanked banned. I used to rent an apartment that had a shared ventilation system. It was a no-smoking…
The more I read articles like this, the more I am convinced that philosophy, when it turns its eye towards mathematics and the sciences, is complete and utter nonsense, and a total waste of everyone's time.…
