One benefit that gets rarely mentioned is the ability to stick a flash on the DSLR, point it to the ceiling and do indirect flashing that's properly metered by the camera. This makes such a big difference for the image quality of indoo

What do you mean, the numbers don't add up? From the article: "Insurers’ overhead, the largest category, totaled $275.4 billion in the U.S. in 2017, or 7.9% of all national health expenditures, compared with $5.36 billion in Canad

I'm sorry, but the article you linked clearly states that they bought a cheaper and smaller residence for their president, and they are in the process of selling the old residence for potentially more than twice the amount. What's

I have to say that I agree with this sentiment. The CEO of a non-profit organization with a revenue of 52 million dollars should not be compensated with 824.000 dollars.

Nobody should be saying that masks do not work. When worn by a sick person, they very effectively prevent droplets from leaving the mouth. They also help not breathing in contamination, as airborne viruses are usually contained in droplets.

They use different "algorithms", so solving a problem can be done in very different ways for a quantum and a classical computer. Comparing the number of operations per second does not make sense because the advantage of quantum al

To be slightly pedantic here: Power is energy per second, so power consumption itself would go down. Total energy consumption, which is power*time could go up.

"The researchers estimate that covering an apartment building with the treated wood could save about 35 percent of the energy used for cooling." Is that compared to the average building or a building covered with another kind of w

This is a very nice experiment that demonstrates very fundamental physics. However, the measurements conducted by the author do not show entanglement but merely that photons are emitted simultaneously in opposite directions with perpendicul

It was elaborated upon in other comments, but to drive home the point of extending an atom over the whole universe: The quantum mechanical ground state of an atom is actually determined by the size of the box you put it in. Any finite size

Regarding the transition from Maxwell-Boltzmann to Bose-Einstein statistics: There is no transition. If you're dealing with Bosons, it's Bose-Einstein statistics at any energy. It's just that at higher energies (or, lower den

This is the opposite of speculating on a rising price. It is a way of shorting cryptocurrencies. Sell now and pay back your creditors after the crash.

well, to be very technical about it, when you release energy in a chemical reaction, you DO lose a tiny amount of mass, according to E=mc^2. However, the change in mass is very small in a chemical reaction, as the energy released is very sm
