Thomas Babington Macaulay. The most famous aphorisms

Most of all, the public praises the one who is at the same time the object of admiration, respect and compassion.
In any era, the most malicious representatives of the human race should be sought among the leaders of the people.
Nowadays, many politicians tend to argue with aplomb that the people do not deserve freedom until they learn how to use it. This conclusion would do credit to the fool of the old tale who decided not to go into the water until he learned to swim.
Everything in this world is subject to reward and punishment. Everything but the heart.
Only the mint can make money without advertising.
If slaves wait until they are wiser to be free, it will be a long wait.
Laws exist in vain for those who do not have the courage and means to defend them.
A tiny act of kindness is better than the most solemn promises to do the impossible.
Some books should only be tasted, others should be swallowed, and only a few should be chewed and digested.
Our assessment of someone depends largely on how this person relates to our interests and passions.
The first fruits harvested by a bad host are often planted by a good host.
Poetry requires not a probing, but a believing way of thinking.
Rulers should not blame people for the lack of patriotism, but do everything in their power to make them patriotic.
Words, more words, and only words: this is all that the most famous philosophers of sixty generations have left us.
The essence of war is violence, and moderation in war is imbecility.
Keeping outlying provinces in subjection usually costs more than those provinces themselves.
A philosophy that fights greed is much better than a philosophy that makes laws to protect property.
Cunning people despise teaching, simple people bow before it, wise people use it.
A good government is not one that wants to make people happy, but one that knows how to make it happen.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Smart chair Sharp 11.12.2014

If you are not a doctor, you are unlikely to feel love for going to the clinic. However, many doctors go there not at all out of love for their chosen profession and it is not for us to tell about it. It is possible to reduce visits by searching for answers on the Internet. Previously, for this they read the magazine "Health" or used the advice of grandmothers. But progress doesn't stand still, does it? New trends are sensors in smartphones and wearable electronics. Pulse, pressure, sweating intensity, primitive ECG - all this and much more, not yet implemented, will help to more accurately determine how you feel before visiting the doctor and, perhaps, completely postpone the visit.

The next level is more advanced systems for determining the physical and mental state of a person. To clarify, we are still talking about fairly inexpensive complexes, which in the future may be at home for everyone. A similar system was shown by Sharp at Semicon Japan 2014. This is a premium aircraft seat. The chair has a built-in set of sensors and a specialized computer system with a display. The data is taken and immediately analyzed with the output of the result in the form of understandable graphs or icons.

The armchair allows you to measure the mass, blood pressure, pulse rate, the state of the blood vessels (the pulse wave is being studied), as well as receive data on the state of the autonomic nervous system (about the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions). Cross-analysis and special processing of data for each parameter gives an approximate picture of the current state of health. The data can be sent to the Sharp cloud, where it can be compiled into a database for each person and analyzed by a medical specialist, sending the processed information back to the patient.

Sharp notes that the request for such a chair came from companies involved in servicing the elderly. But the scope of such complexes is much wider. They can be installed in gyms, fitness centers, in companies that care about the health of employees, in private hospitals and in public medical institutions. Preliminary demand for the development was so strong that the company will start selling the "health chair" in the first half of fiscal year 2015 (April to September 2015).
