Good morning everyone.
The year is coming. Some people are happy and some are sad, but for the most part, one thing can’t be avoided-buying train tickets.
In the past, I was queuing up to the train station overnight to grab train tickets, but now I pay to share and grab train tickets on the software. See how 12306 responds:
12306 has blocked multiple ticket grabbing software
@ 腾讯 科技 【 Still adding money to grab the ticket? 12306 has blocked multiple ticket-grabbing software. ] With the Spring Festival train tickets entering the peak sales, some ticket-grabbing software on the market have also entered people’s field of vision. Some of them directly collect money to grab tickets, some require sharing of forwarding links to increase exposure, and some third-party software defaults to the paid ticket grab service, which will be “routine” if you don’t pay attention.
According to incomplete statistics, there are already nearly 60 models of software on the market claiming to be able to grab tickets. They are still doing scalping under the banner of “service users”. Those who claim to be able to grab tickets for free require users to send software links to multiple groups of friends and relatives to form a “viral marketing”. It takes time without spending money.
Shan Xinghua, director of the 12306 Technology Department of the China Academy of Railway Sciences, emphasized that the ticket-grabbing software grabbed the refunds of other users. When there was no ticket, even if it was spent, it could not be grabbed. At the beginning of this year, 12306 also introduced the “official ticket grabbing” standby function, which grabs tickets directly in the system, and other ticket grabbing software will have no tickets to grab.
CancelOn the evening of December 29th, Beijing time, according to Reuters, the Egyptian regulator (ECA) has approved Uber’s $ 3.1 billion acquisition of ride-hailing company Careem. The deal was announced in March of this year, after the two companies had negotiated for more than nine months, and Uber won a much-needed victory.
The transaction is expected to be completed in January next year, and the final time depends on the approval of multiple regional regulators, especially Egypt. As a big country with a population of over 100 million, Egypt is the largest market in the Middle East. Careem will become a subsidiary of Uber, but will continue to operate under an independent brand while maintaining its own independent management.
Indecision, quantum mechanics
@ 凤凰网 科技 【 First time! Scientists use quantum entanglement to achieve “instantaneous” transmission of information ] December 28, Beijing time, British and Danish scientists claim that they have achieved the “instantaneous transmission” of information between two computer chips, a move May lead to more secure “quantum networks.” Experts from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom and the Technical University of Denmark have used the physical phenomenon called “quantum entanglement” for the first time to achieve “send data instantly”.
Computer chips do not require electrical or physical connections to transmit information, because quantum entanglement enables particles to communicate over long distances instantly. Researchers at the University of Bristol said that this technology is widely used in quantum computing and networking because changing the state of one particle automatically changes the state of another particle. A joint research team from the two universities said their research could pave the way for the quantum Internet and “will be able to protect information from malicious attacks.”
