Comment Facilitating payment (Score 1) 48

If it was a facilitating payment, it's not technically a bribe in the US. We paid them by default before even being asked overseas. Personal funds used for those class of payments were reimbursed on official business.

Small bribes are given various names depending on context and country; for example, âtea moneyâ(TM) in Kenya or âbaksheeshâ(TM) in Egypt. The term facilitation payment originates from the FCPA and usually covers payments made to officials to obtain or speed up routine services which the officials are required to provide. It does not include payments made directly to obtain or retain business. Facilitation payments are allowed as an exception in the bribery laws of only four countries: Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and the USA. These laws apply only when they are made abroad and paradoxically, remain illegal in their own domestic laws.

Does quantum entanglement violate the speed of light?
No. While quantum entanglement can cause particles to collapse instantaneously over long distances, we can't use that to transport information faster than the speed of light. It turns out entanglement alone is not enough to send data. For example, quantum teleportation uses entanglement to transfer quantum states across long distances. However, teleportation requires sending a classical bit in addition to the entangled qubits. So, while the entanglement operates instantaneously, the information transfer is limited by the speed of the classical information, which travels at the speed of light.
