I have a handful of SMBC pages that I could post here, but I can't decide D:

Anybody that knows anything about science should know that "it uses quantum physics" means that it's bullshit.

Quantum computers.

are in the work. Still far from the PC stage, but I heard the next F-something will be designed with the help of a quantum computer.

[Draco18s]

Also, they don't replace standard CPUs.  They are better at some things, but they are not good for what we use computers for, in the general case.

WHAT the.... Fuck:
"Mary Woods posted an announcement 5 days ago

I am grateful to participate in the Quantum Home Energy Generator Project as part of the support team.  Since it is "quantum", an essential part is working in the unified field of consciousness, "holding the vision" of what is already manifested in the higher dimensions.  In the spirit of cooperating and co-creating with these higher creative energies, I see my contribution as a Vision Holder, working in the thought atmosphere, attuning to The Source and feeling the flow of the true free energy; love, wisdom, and power, abundantly available to all.  Like an idea whose time has come, we are the one's we have been waiting for, to bring in this new paradigm of free energy through our intention and alignment with the call.

That's fairly bog-standard new-age bullshit actually. The biggest proponent of which is probably Deepak Chopra.

[Leafsnail]

Quantum encryption is also a real thing.

[ed boy]

Not quite. There are some that work off trying to harness energy in the environment.

Those are not perpetual motion machines by definition.

Nope, but people can still claim them to be perpetual motion and fool others.

Alright, in 99% of the cases, "it uses quantum physics!" is equal to "it uses magic!".

i saw this on kickstarter today: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1790324578/foldylock-the-premium-folding-bike-lock
epic video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqP6qzNwqBU

and i wonder they can succeed...
it isnt a new idea, and not the best lock technology, 1-2 min with right tool and they stole your bike.

So whats the fail of it exactly?

It doesnt seem like they have a physical lock yet.  And I also dun think you're getting a folding lock in awesome kewl coolers because its safe.

[MarcAFK]

I'm assuming the finished lock won't still be made of plastic, will it? Though even a steel version would be rather easy to break with a screwdriver placed into those convienently large hinge holes.

"There are a lot of such locks already on the market. The Abus Bordo Granite series for example. What's the novelty? Also, it only takes a few minutes to cut through an Abus Bordo with a tungsten or diamond saw which costs ten bucks. I don't think this one would last longer. Also it's very ill-suited for a close combat weapon."

Holes?  Those are bolts.  You're seeing reflection.

But those don't use "Quantum physics". If you look for it, you'll find a detailed explanation of how the thing works, and which Quantum effects it uses for that. Not, Quantum = Problem solved.

oh I see what you mean. It uses quantum physics, not "quantum physics #handwavium"
