The number one cause of statistics is cancer.

"You're pitting a teller against a national crime syndicate with massive resources behind them," says Paul Benda, executive vice president for risk, fraud, and cybersecurity at the American Bankers Association"

Or, alternatively, you are pitting an amateur fraudster against the full might of the American Bankers Association. But the ABA isn't willing to put in the necessary resources.

Have you considered that maybe they are spending their time on aspects of future commercialization?

They still need two qubits: "...which share a pair of maximally entangled qubits...". Because the qubits are entangled they can *transmit* two bits of information by *transmitting* one qubit. But they still need the two qubits in the first place.

No, a qubit has only two measurable states (though theoretically it can have a continuum of different mixing values between those two states).

The article says: "Adding more qubits improves a quantum computer's power exponentially, meaning the new machine is 241 million times more powerful than the 2019 machine"

They added 17 qubits. That should increase the power by a factor of 2^17 = 131,072 (which is indeed exponential). Instead they used the calculation e^17 = 24,154,952. They read the first three digits as 241 but then were off by a factor of 10. So they had two errors and came up with a number which is more than a factor of 1,000 too large.

Took me a while to parse your response. LOL!

"The result is a radio signal that can be detected around 1,000 kilometers away -- or almost 10 orders of magnitude longer than what can be detected from a Bluetooth chip over terrestrial networks"

So normal bluetooth range is only a bit more than 0.1 millimeters?

I heard a really cool approximation: Take the first three odd digits and repeat each one twice: 113355. Then take the second half divided by the first half: 355/113. This comes out to Pi to within one part in 10 million! It also turns out that 355/113 is what is called in mathematics a convergent of the continued fraction of Pi and is therefore a "best in its class" approximation of Pi see here.

This article is a "dup" of itself

I think the 10 trillion is for FOB. I am guessing it comes out to a negative number CIF

In CIF, the seller is responsible for transporting goods to the nearest port, loading the goods on the ship and paying freight for the goods to be delivered to a port chosen by the buyer. In FOB trading, the seller is only responsible for taking the goods to the nearest port on his or her end

I have used CamScanner often. How do I detect if I am infected? Neither BitDefender nor ESET found any problems. I am wary of installing Kaspersky :-(

How do I remove and cleanup any problems?

So, if they had added a line

bool ignoreMe = isLeapYear(startingDate);

then they would have gotten full credit, but without it they get marked down?

It's not as simple as you think. Building the lunar lander is a major achievement. Indeed, google offered a $30,000,000 prize for the lunar lander part even after taking into account the existence of commercial launch systems. See: https://lunar.xprize.org/prize.... The Israeli team missed the deadline, but, if their lander succeeds, will have achieved the goal.
