I've no issues with it on my rooted phone, even during the times when safetynet fails.

I just start with the second mode.

Ah, probably so - I have no idea how long in absolute terms it takes to reach any given amount of fluency, but my thought was that they noticeably still have a way to go - which I figured was why they asked, to get a straight answer on that.

I also have no idea how it's evaluated or what system those level labels are part of.

No, those are not correct.

If I saw either of those, I would assume that you started learning English recently. (Which is fine, it just means more work for us to understand each other)

As other comments have said the meaning is mostly clear but it's not how native speakers talk.

"What Is a Laser?"

When I saw that book in the elementary school library it was a revelation: There are books explaining the cool mysterious stuff like that! And written for kids to understand!

I think that one book is a big part of what sent me on the path to geekdom.

It wasn't technically my first nonfiction science book, which would be "Our Friend the Atom" but I wasn't old enough to actually read that when I had it (probably got destroyed before I could). I liked the pictures though.

I can't read that without imagining a very extended boss fight.

Danny Trejo is of course Machete (or Uncle Machete to the Spy Kids) - even if he does occasionally rangle Rancors or other roles.

(But only when I can see him. I had no idea he had that many voice roles until looking him up just now)

I always assumed diffraction. Nice that it's even simpler.

I actually try to watch for those at line wraps, but
but this one got me.

I was definitely thinking:

Sounds like time for another "Things I won't work with".

The actual dress was in fact blue and black.

Heihei?

Good to know. I'm still waiting on this coming patch.

Sounds like a good thing that they haven't yet

I'm not sure what you mean by 'use it on that basis'. Yes, entanglement has been proven to work, but it can't be used to communicate FTL.

I read it. Doesn't mention FTL, because that's not a possibility for actually transmitting info.

Edit: I think the way these quantum encryption systems work is that basically the photons (and I assume it's polarization being measured) become the encryption key to a message that is sent conventionally.

Like the sender generates a bunch of entangled photons, sends the paired ones to the recipient, measures their photons and uses the results to encrypt the message, the receiver measures theirs and gets the same results, the sender sends the encrypted message over email or whatever, and the recipient has the same key because of entanglement.
Meanwhile an eavesdropper measuring the photons would mess them up for the recipient so the message wouldn't decrypt.

If you change one of the particles it just breaks the entanglement. If you measure one, then you instantly know the state the other will have when measured, but the result of your measurement - and therefore the other one also - is random. The only way to correlate the two measurements of the two particles is to send the results (at C or slower) to the same place and compare them. Otherwise each just looks like a random result.

"Buckyballs" and other small magnet fidget toys. (For adults only of course!)

Sounds like Faraday understood the... potential.
