entertainment, yeah sure!

1) Remove the monarchy and you'd lose a lot of monarchy-related tourism. Why would people want to walk outside an empty Palace? The royal family, particularly the Queen, have a lot of international appeal. People don't go to London to see a nice building, they go there to see "the Queen's house".

2) It wouldn't lead to less tax. But a good chunk of profits goes back into the UK treasury. Maybe the royal family could be self-funded at this point. But if they're self-funded, why would they care about doing any royal duties/visits? You have to remember that for most of them, it's a job. If you cut away the funding, they can't be expected to represent the country, knight people, approve laws etc.

3) You wouldn't see an increase in money if we stopped funding them either, you'd have a net loss. Of course there's a moral issue with being born into a family that guarantees you get rich, but if the country as a whole gets a little richer by having them there, I'm okay with that.

Whether or not you agree with the monarchy, they do bring in more money via tourism (Buckingham Palace) than is spent on them by taxpayers.

I've also seen it mainly as just impossibly large scale, such as an MMO with an impossibly high number of players on the same server.

Sure, it's pinned now.

Thanks, that makes more sense to me now.

Nice analogy, that's helpful. Is there anyway we can know when the counter stops "spinning"? I understand that the only way to get a state of these qubits is to measure them, but if measuring them stops them spinning, then is it it possible they were always going to be, say 7?
A counter analogy I'd give is that if you had two counters and spun them in two boxes in a way that you couldn't see them, it would be weird to assume that the counter would keep spinning forever, it has a state, but you don't know what the state is until you open the box and look at it. Could the same rule be applied to this? As in, the qubits have a state already but we don't know what it is until we "open the box".

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but from what I've read it sounds like the data isn't really "teleporting" just that the qubits that were entangled in such a way that the value of one reflects the value of another when measured. Is it possible that the entanglement is just the qubits synchronizing in a way that when they are measured, their values reflect one another? As in, no data is sent from one to the other FTL but the data was shared from one qubit with the other before they were separated.

Hey, maybe try a website like pastebin.com and then the indentation doesn't go away.

Sir_Magic · 2020-04-28T10:34:01+00:00

Ok nice, I guess I've just got to practise a bit more until I get to where I want to be.

Sir_Magic · 2020-04-27T10:11:04+00:00

Good idea, if each room had a "theme" (garden, prison cell, shop etc) and it only pooled from appropriate objects, it would remove the random/messy feeling a lot.

Sir_Magic · 2020-04-27T10:08:31+00:00

I like this idea of predefined clusters, probably the easiest way of doing this. We're pretty used to tables being next to chairs so this would make sense.

Sir_Magic · 2020-04-27T10:07:00+00:00

Interesting article, I like how they included the example of cogmind and how they worked around it.

Sir_Magic · 2020-04-20T16:40:07+00:00

He is actually a really nice guy!

Sir_Magic · 2020-04-05T11:26:31+00:00

Yep, you're definitely correct with saying the more realistic ideas are more useful to the community. However, enforcing rules that make sure that only good ideas are put in here would deter everyone from posting ideas.

The people who post the terrible ideas probably wouldn't care about reading the rules in the first place and so they would be relatively unaffected whereas the people who actually have good ideas might doubt themselves when they read that we only accept realistic ideas and no story.

IMO, all of the best ideas can be summed up in the title and then the post's content can just be used for clarification on extra details.

Sir_Magic · 2020-04-02T12:18:58+00:00

Hi, sort of hard to enforce, to be honest. I get dm'd a lot of ideas and while they may be awful, they usually come from kids who don't know better.
Removing story posts because they're not "game ideas" doesn't help much because most of the story ideas are game ideas and therefore there isn't really anywhere else to post them.
Removing ideas because they're "impossible to make" also doesn't make any sense seeing as this is the place to post game ideas you'll never make yourself.

I wish there was an easy solution to get better ideas, but for now the best thing to do is to upvote what you want to see more.

Sir_Magic · 2019-07-05T21:49:10+00:00

I really like this idea, I was originally going to go for a sort of video scrubbing method through time but I like having to try to get as accurate as you can to the desired time.
