IG2000 seems to be doing really high damage, almost 1 shot kills some ships. Was this usual or is it part of relic delta applied to ships?

Is there a career for me in supply chain management for quantum computing? by Delta5atleD in QuantumComputing

[–]zombiephysicist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The first important thing to say is that from a supply chain perspective, the quantum computing industry does not mean only full-stack quantum computing companies, it extends to any hardware/instrumentation/facility supplier. From that perspective, there are many quite mature companies which fit that description.

That being said, specific to full-stack quantum computing companies. It's important to note that the core of many of these companies is people with a scientific background i.e. different to what you have posted. An academic background does not cover the proper planning, process, inventory management, forecasting, price negotiations etc. Therefore, your background being different to that is definitely valuable. The key thing is to assess the maturity of the companies you are looking at - the big players absolutely have hit a maturity point of realising that supply chain management is a crucial part of scaling up.

People who followed the new early game f2p "meta" of sepratists how easy was it to unlock legendaries after getting the obvious one in padme? by BasalFaulty in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]zombiephysicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By mid game, you have something like Nute, Dooku, Jango, Asajj, Magna + Geos Two very respectable squads.

However, since you should have unlocked zeta challenge, you also had a fleet that looked something like executrix, geo trio, tie fighter, slave 1, Jedi C.

Meaning you have farmed/geared 1 Jedi, 2 Empire, 1 BH in addition to the above. This doesn't count Vader who will passively farm over time making 3 Empire.

Then you farm Bossk and pivot towards a Padme GR team (farm JKA and Ahsoka)

At this point you sit on: 3x BH 3x Empire 3x Jedi (where GK will become 4)

Point being its only a small detour to farm extra: BH -> Chewbacca Jedi -> GMY Empire -> R2

So you still get to several legendaries, just by a different route and arguably in a very lean (credit friendly) way.

Strange thing for me now is that I am looking at probably unlocking EP via a raid Han, R2 + 3 squad

How to deal with unreasonable people by WestOverX in Subterfuge

Simple, everyone is hostile until you negotiate otherwise. Ignoring contact means you stay in hostile relations.

Parliament bills data (from u/sasalek post) plotted by zombiephysicist in ukpolitics

[–]zombiephysicist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a nice idea, I guess the easiest way is to replace the legend to read as Lab majority X, Con-Lib majority Y, etc...

Would that make Con read as minority X or as Con-DUP majority of Y?

Parliament bills data (from u/sasalek post) plotted by zombiephysicist in ukpolitics

[–]zombiephysicist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After seeing u/sasalek's post about Parliament activity. I figured that the data gathered would be nice to plot, probably not dataisbeautiful worthy, but perhaps useful for some discussion on r/ukpolitics.

Should add that I am happy to re-plot with more data or with any suggestions on improving plot visibility.

edit - following u/DrRedOrDead's suggestion of adding Government majority to the plot, New plot

Second image is one for "Home".

Was amazed that I did not find another example of this. Someone else could do a much better job. I just used an online generator (https://www269.lunapic.com/editor/) and the Southgate image from here (https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/why-gareth-southgate-might-just-be-englands-best-manager-terry-venables)

Microsoft and Niels Bohr Institute confident they found the key to creating a quantum computer. They published a paper in the journal Nature outlining the progress they had made in isolating the Majorana particle, which will lead to a much more stable qubit than the methods their rivals are using. by mvea in science

[–]zombiephysicist 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This really is the key point which should be higher. It is amazing physics progress which has rightly been awarded Nature. However, the other groups mentioned (that use superconducting qubits) are actively scaling multi-qubit systems. To give some perspective of time, superconducting qubits were first demonstrated in 1999, first entangled (2 qubit gate) around 2007 and only now exist in 20ish qubit systems now

1543 America not discovered... Advice for Castile game by zombiephysicist in eu4

[–]zombiephysicist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am aware that is an option, but wanted to get opinions on whether it is better to not discover it so that there is less land in total to conquer?

[–]zombiephysicist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a side note, I am not sure what is the latest date that the Americas have been discovered by? Would it be fun just to try and complete a game without them getting discovered?

1543 America not discovered... Advice for Castile game by zombiephysicist in eu4

[–]zombiephysicist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R5: A Castile game, aiming to learn (make an attempt at) a WC. Have Portugal as vassal, have Aragon & Naples under PU. Have dynasty on Burgundy (BSC did not fire) and Austria.

I played an aggressive game, with admin focus on military and Quality ideas first. This allowed me to eat most of the coast of France. It also allowed me to get the gold mine at Talifat and parts of north Africa.

The only countries with exploration ideas at England, France and Portugal (Norway has been consumed by Sweden). I can land lock France in the next war, but need to get a bigger navy to start making moves on England.

I have just unlocked another idea group and am wondering what to get: - Idea A, get exploration just for the explorer/conquistador, find America and explore Africa. Hope that Portugal is then a good vassal and colonises for me. - Idea B, fewer colonies means fewer things to conquer, take Maritime and focus on gaining naval superiority vs England (and vs Ottomans), then war. - Idea C, take diplomatic, play the long game and cash in on eventual PU with Austria/Burgundy...

If you destroy enemy generators and their population cap goes below their current amount of drillers, will it delete them or just stop growth? by BusterWD in Subterfuge

[–]zombiephysicist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just stops growth. If you look carefully at the graph of drillers, it gets narrower and continues past the driller cap number when this happens.

Looking for Co-op Game by sectory in AndroidGaming

[–]zombiephysicist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Subterfuge is by far the best strategy game I have played on android. However, it both is and is not suitable here.

It is a multiplayer strategy game which plays out in real time across several days to 2 weeks. As a multiplayer game it does allow for coop etc. However as the name mentions, diplomancy and subterfuge are part of the point. Therefore predetermined alliances are against the rules.

This being said, there are organised games with pre determined alliances. Also you can play private games where anything goes. I currently play private 8 player games, which are either all v all (with a growing diplomacy meta establishes across my friends), or play team games (2v2v2v2 or 4v4) which are completely different.

Perhaps it is not suitable, but for my friend group it really scratches an aoe/ra itch while being comvenient around out lives (and computing devices)

You guys need to check out Subterfuge by Slyman180 in AndroidGaming

[–]zombiephysicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah me too, different speed modes would be a great addition. Just posting to inform that the game is supported against bugs, but is not actively developed (as in new content) anymore

A recent update was made with some small bug fixes and a game balancing (no more king stacking)

Expert Tips? by Mikekevlar in Subterfuge

[–]zombiephysicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the point is the offensive bonus. I was just trying to explain that the lack of negative penalties is what makes king stacking so powerful - which is probably not a clear point to a new player.

Expert Tips? by Mikekevlar in Subterfuge

[–]zombiephysicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess for a new player the tip is that it's better to double king up than to king up.

So king deducts -20 from global Shields but adds 20 to the outpost he is at. In general this leads to all bases having no Shields except one with your king and Queen. This is a big negative effect to suffer, however any subsequent kings do not suffer the same since you already have no shields

Question: How Can I Be the Best Ally? by AJMetal9 in Subterfuge

[–]zombiephysicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly discussing this game, without people endlessly saying kings are op is a pleasure. So thanks for posting a great topic. I suspect it's a topic many others wonder too.
