But who is really to blame for crime?&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;Adrian Raine is a renowned criminologist. He teaches psychology in the University of Pennsylvania and has written four books, all on abnormal psychology and crime. Raine has studied criminals extensively and taught courses on them, and routinely tells students to feign sleep for their own safety if they ever have an intruder.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He also tells another story:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the summer of 1989, he took a trip to Bodrum, in Turkey. It had been a long day of travel, and it didn’t take long for him to fall sound asleep. Certainly, it helped that Bodrum was a relatively quiet city, with little traffic and honking at night.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shortly after 3 a.m., he awoke when he heard the window creak. He could just about make out a shadow silhouetted by the streetlight. He panicked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And, contrary to everything he know about criminals and their behavior, he attacked.&lt;/p&gt;</description><author>Manasa Kashi</author><category>crime</category><category>criminology</category><category>criminal-justice</category><category>psychology</category><category>sociology</category><guid isPermaLink="true">https://medium.com/p/29063cebd2ad</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jul 2019 07:02:54 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>How To Train Your Keyboard</title><link>https://medium.com/snipette/how-to-train-your-keyboard-82970b3793ea?source=friends_link&amp;sk=cb2c8d0b0d6876f1c73f47ad7642e2f7</link><description>&lt;div class="medium-feed-item"&gt;&lt;p class="medium-feed-image"&gt;&lt;a href="https://medium.com/snipette/how-to-train-your-keyboard-82970b3793ea?source=rss----55afa6d128c2---4"&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1280/1*u_i8NB7PnxaPhf2CaC-sMA.jpeg" width="1280"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="medium-feed-snippet"&gt;How your next word is predicted&amp;#x200A;&amp;#x2014;&amp;#x200A;and how you can make it more accurate.&lt;/p&gt;</description><author>Badri Sunderarajan</author><category>technology</category><category>markov-chains</category><category>language</category><category>advice</category><category>autocorrect</category><guid isPermaLink="true">https://medium.com/p/82970b3793ea</guid><pubDate>Fri, 19 Jul 2019 07:01:01 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Frame of Reference</title><link>https://medium.com/snipette/frame-of-reference-213513adad84?source=rss----55afa6d128c2---4</link><description>&lt;figure&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Ep3bIQQwoC-C9Nw9tsLBYw.jpeg" /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Can diagnoses depend on your doctor’s mother tongue?&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;My passion for the nuances of language has deep roots in who I am as a person. I study intercultural communication: it’s about how people from different cultures interact with each other. About how compatible their communications are, and what happens when they aren’t.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The real moment things fell in place for me, however, can be traced to a single story a lecturer told in my second year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was about bilingual people. Being diagnosed by a doctor. The results were different depending on which language they used.&lt;/p&gt;</description><author>Melanie Fairhurst</author><category>health</category><category>psychology</category><category>culture</category><category>intercultural</category><category>language</category><guid isPermaLink="true">https://medium.com/p/213513adad84</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Jul 2019 07:01:01 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Kings of the Outback</title><link>https://medium.com/snipette/kings-of-the-outback-cbfc3e3548eb?source=friends_link&amp;sk=861871f00c88d6e02d8133238e8d45ca</link><description>&lt;div class="medium-feed-item"&gt;&lt;p class="medium-feed-image"&gt;&lt;a href="https://medium.com/snipette/kings-of-the-outback-cbfc3e3548eb?source=rss----55afa6d128c2---4"&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1280/1*5n2zGyspLYM2U3peQa7I5A.jpeg" width="1280"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="medium-feed-snippet"&gt;Camels in the land of kangaroos?

But in this last part, I would like to shine some light on the topic “quantum computing”, which (as you might have guessed) uses quantum physics in the field of computers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So let’s start with the basics of computing. Not of quantum computing, but of traditional computing. In classical computers, everything is represented by 0’s and 1’s, and these are known as “bits”. Each bit of information is just that. Either “yes” (or “on”, or “1”) or “no” (or “yes”, or “0”) answer to a question.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You might wonder: how does a computer, that does millions of different things, use only two numbers for all of that? To get that, let’s clear up some basics.&lt;/p&gt;</description><author>Sidharth Jain</author><category>computer-science</category><category>quanta-in-a-nutshell</category><category>technology</category><category>future</category><category>quantum-computing</category><guid isPermaLink="true">https://medium.com/p/dbcf7c42e17c</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Jun 2019 07:01:02 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The Curious Cat</title><link>https://medium.com/snipette/the-curious-cat-1b63bf0daf77?source=friends_link&amp;sk=0b0e383b2a27a0d9d3187fdb320905f2</link><description>&lt;figure&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*VFs8AHQtpEJkZwutjx01NQ.jpeg" /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;a href="http://medium.com/snipette/tagged/quanta-in-a-nutshell"&gt;Quanta in a Nutshell&lt;/a&gt; (part 3)&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Superposition, tunnelling, entanglement, and other bits and pieces of quantum mechanics&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://medium.com/snipette/waving-particles-30bdc85daa7e?source=friends_link&amp;amp;sk=d6ee124ae6be9bde9a405ab8060a0dee"&gt;In Part 2&lt;/a&gt;, we discussed how the dual nature of the particle was discovered. We’ve also covered the “Uncertainty Principle”, why you can never know where a particle is for certain, and the “Measurement Problem” of why Now, I’ll try to explain most of the “quantum” phenomena that come out of that explanation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For example: did you know that a particle can be in two places at once?&lt;/p&gt;</description><author>Sidharth Jain</author><category>quantum-computing</category><category>science</category><category>uncertainty</category><category>technology</category><category>quanta-in-a-nutshell</category><guid isPermaLink="true">https://medium.com/p/1b63bf0daf77</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Jun 2019 07:01:01 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
