Batch effects, for one. Something could be wrong about a particular batch of some reagent so that it causes aspecific effects in your assay. You then generate measurements that, sure enough, reach statistical significance. If enough of your publication hinges on that bad data, it could even cause a retraction.

Ok I understand that magnet part! That makes total sense but how about the normal products with a normal bar code printed on the packaging?

This is not true at all.

Because they're different titles. You can call yourself doctor at any point in life after earning a PhD from any university, but professorship is a step further and requires active tenure at a university.

All of them I think. But mostly grocer ystores (regular counter or self check out)

It will Beep. There is a small chip on it, a so called RFID Chip, which stores just a small amount of data, the state I was paid or I was not paid. When the product is scanned, the state on the chip is changed. When the state of a product is I was not paid, the System goes BEEP. Other possibility with the RFID Chips, they only have the state I was not paid and when scanned they get a small electric charge and are therefore destroyed. So the System only BEEPs, if there is a Signal, not which signal.

A small sticker is placed on or hidden inside high theft items. Older systems used a strip of metal that can be magnetized and demagnetized. The cashier swipes the tag across a special spot on the counter and it demagnetizes it; if they don't demagnetize it it sets off the alarm at the store's entrance when you walk past it.

Do you mean from a self-service unmanned store or a regular supermarket or convenient store?

Pointe shoes are basically paper and ribbon.

Dancers go through a pair every few days.

Having a shoe that you can modify for an exact fit is far cheaper than getting a new custom pair every week.

Not all items will do that but higher value items that are more likely to be stolen have barcodes with electronics on the back of them. When it's active, the detectors will beep when you lass through them. When you scan the item, it also deactivates the electronics and letd you walk through without sounding the alarm.

When I was younger I used to take the electronic barcodes off of items and try to land them in people's bags or their jacket hood so the alarm would go off when they leave.

That was fascinating- thank you!

It’s almost like they want people confessing to crimes they didn’t do. Tactics like this cause that to happen constantly. When under immense stress people will confess to get the stress to go away whether they did it or not.

Banning belief systems does not work well in the long term. For example, Rome tried to ban Christianity.

Banned by who? It is one of the most popular faiths on the planet nearly 2 billion people are Muslims many countries have freedom of religion laws meaning you can follow what faith or superstition you like so long as you don't harm anyone else and like Christianity Islam isn't inherently dangerous, it is only when extremists take over you get Jihad or Crusades, or terrorist actions.

It was more an example of how silly he was more than the driver of that perception, I think

Islam is not bad. People of Islamic faith are, in general, not bad.

There are certainly some bad apples... Religious fundamentalist fascists governments that use Islamic tenets as an excuse to repress their people yes. Religious fundamentalist terrorists that use Islamic tenets as an excuse to perpetrate violence, yes. But these are faults of men, not Islam

Have you read the first amendment?

Banning things generally doesn’t go down particularly well, especially when Islam is a complicated belief system with varying degrees of interpretation and application across the globe.

There are 1.4 billion or so Muslims, all with varying degrees of faith, views on scripture, ideological beliefs outside of Islam etc.

You’d be basically white washing 20% of the global population in absolute, without a reason that would satisfy each individual.

Laws already exist that are not compatible with Islam and vice versa, does not matter whether Islam claims one thing - if the laws of the state are properly imposed, Islam will not be able to circumvent them openly, nor it’s adherents without risk of persecution.

Risk of persecution via law is essentially what we as a society have as a mechanism for attempting to translate logic, feeling and reason into rules and regulations. People can still try to ignore these if they so wish, nothing to stop them attempting to - regardless of faith.

Why is Christianity not banned ? Answer that then apply to your question
