  • "In superconductors, the electrons act like two reticent people at a dance party. At first, neither person wants to dance with the other. But then the DJ plays a song that both people like, allowing them to relax. They notice one another enjoying the song and become attracted from afar – they have paired but have not yet become coherent.

    Then the DJ plays a new song, one that both people absolutely love. Suddenly, the two people pair and start to dance. Soon everyone at the dance party follows their lead: They all come together and start dancing to the same new tune. At this point, the party becomes coherent; it is in a superconducting state.

    In the new study, the researchers observed electrons in a middle stage, where the electrons had locked eyes, but were not getting up to dance."

    This is an awesome ELI5.

  • Oh god I remember doing that too. Those "programs" were the best. I even mad sure to make the code long, so that even if someone thought to take a look at the code they would have to scroll for a while to find the notes.

  • It's about how they do it. They achieve this not only by being incredibly efficient through exploiting thier employees, but also by systematically destroying competition, and using thier marketplace to unfairly favor thier own products.

    It's techno-feudalism, here's a great presentation/interview about it:

  • Depends on your requirements. The faiphone 5 has 8GB of RAM, which is more than enough for what I'm doing with a smartphone.

    Oh course I totally understand what you are talking about though, for many users (mobile gamers, people who don't mind google/apple telemetry, etc.) 8GB is a bare minimum.

  • That's a valid criticism.

    On the other side: Pay for a year at once and get 3600 searches/year. The rollover also doesn't happen, but the effect is drastically reduced. Also get a discount overall.

    I'm not saying that kagi is perfect, but fuck google sideways. Eat the rich. Pay for the product or you are the product.

  • That's the price of privacy. Google has that traffic data because there are so many drivers with thier app installed. If you are OK with a giant corporation monitoring your every move, then of course that convenience is a good reason to use thier services.

    Data is the new oil.

  • I speak German and I can confirm, top-tier stuff.
