...as evidenced by their numerous successes whenever they have intervened in outside theaters for the past 50 years... ?

Just a bit of background: Emmanuel Faber is the CEO of Danone, and was asked to do the graduation speech for the HEC business school in France. The first 5 minutes are unfortunately in French, and then he switches into English. IMHO this speech is at the level of Job's "stay hungry, stay foolish" - very inspiring.

The glorious revolution was the direct consequence of the Lumières - in fact it was part of the movement!

Let's be honest, it is actually the brutality of the French revolution which forced the British royalty to hand over power to the people. And before doing these "peaceful" transitions, all neighbouring countries tried to smother the French with war in order to preserve the priviledges of the remaining monarchies.

The US independance was completely inspired by the "Lumières" (the philosophical movement of the Enlighteners), which originated in France and led to the French revolution as well as the emergence of true democracy accross Europe. So even if the US was already independant by the time the French Revolution happened, this is only because it was way more complicated to achieve the latter. But let's not be mistaken about its origins.

I enjoyed it a lot as well. This piece is a story about Wright, not cold, raw news about whethers he's Satoshi or not. Quite fitting, given that the Satoshi persona is fictive by construction...

Can you be specific about the country? Where I live a similar thing happened to a friend of mine, and he finally managed to discuss with the employment agency who agreed to grant him assistance in the end. He didn't have to mention the company's name in the end.

@wanda do you know about HN Cards on iOS? (shameless plug, but it's free so...)

No, it's not the same at all. Here you get to select online the product you want to buy, you are not "forced" to receive a box of produce. And there is no monthly fee at all, you just pay for what you buy.

That would be most useful indeed. Re-read the paper and still can't pinpoint the main difference vs. previous experiments, and why this is a significant achievement...

Any QM expert around here who could help us?

OK - but what's the difference with previous experiments? Is it that they did it with a single photon? Or is it because they managed to do it from two remote laboratories?
