Ice Cube agrees to pay 100K to Walmart if looters are not charged

So now not just looters, and rioters get to steal your stuff but a 80’s has been rapper who now makes movies playing cops all the time bail you out, and reward you for your bad actions.

Some of the video footage we have seen of a crowd looting at a Walmart Super center in Tampa Bay, Florida was recently released by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities asked for the public to help identify individuals who broke into the store and reportedly stole $100K worth of items on May 30 following protests over the untimely death of George Floyd, according to HCSO.

Authorities say that a crowd of people took items out of the electronics section, which included computers, TVs, and more. Walmart reported an estimated $116,000 in lost merchandise and ensuing damages. After CBS News tweeted that police are looking for those who were involved in the looting, rapper-actor Ice Cube responded by saying that he would take care of the damages if no one who was involved was arrested.

“No arrest and I’ll cover the 100k. Deal?” Ice Cube tweeted…. Walmart should issue a press release simply saying “LMAO HOW ABOUT NO!”

Some social media users responded to the post by alluding to America’s history of looting countries, cultures and the Black community, and I ask what does the history of America have to do with America today? Nothing!

Stop living in the past, and move to the future we’re in a different time, and era, and have made a lot of movements to move past racial injustice in this country but no matter what Ice Cube thinks this is still a better, and safer environment than say CHINA for black people.

I wonder why isn’t he helping the black people beat down, and thrown out of their homes in CHINA when the Pandemic happened? Why doesn’t he spend money helping needy children in Haiti or other charities? But people who steal, riot, and loot over the death of a scumbag’s death he will cover your bad actions as long as it’s over that? ICE Cube you have gone full retard, and belong living in “Fucktardistan” with the rest of your socialist morons who want to destroy this country… So now we know you’re the new “DOJ” (Department OF Jokes) head of Fucktardistan.

“Yes stealing is wrong, but when the Government has been stealing from you for generations and holding you down in the Justice System from getting ahead for the color of your skin, then how can you blame them for not turning the other cheek,” And what does Walmart or any small mom and pop store that got destroyed, and robbed have to do with the “government” ? NOTHING! Oh, and ICE check it out you idiot 1 out of the 4 cops was black, 1 was Asian, and 2 were white… On the Atlanta cops which got fired recently 5 were black, and 1 was white.

This isn’t a racial issue you moron! This is an issue where cops who have a hard job as it is are constantly dealing with young people who think they’re above the law, and resist arrest, and act like total morons, and you ICE CUBE paying for them not to get in trouble over looting, and rioting will do nothing but make it OK for them to do it again, and you’re encouraging this sort of anarchy, and behavior. So ICE CUBE Shut the fuck up, and get fucking lost. Remember “Fuck the Police” well right now I’m yelling “FUCK ICE CUBE” and I’m a rapper/podcaster who’s Latino.

I know a lot of rappers who get it, and think what Cube is doing is retarded, and are just afraid to say it do to the scrutiny by these morons on the left who will attack anyone for their views, and I’m not one of those… Nobody on the left will silence me, and no rapper in the industry scares me or will silence me.

So Cube you can kiss my ass you idiot… Now we know where you stand.

The golden path towards new two-dimensional semiconductors

Two-dimensional (2-D) semiconductors are promising for quantum computing and future electronics. Now, researchers can convert metallic gold into semiconductor and customize the material atom-by-atom on boron nitride nanotubes.

Gold is a conductive material already widely used as interconnects in electronic devices. As electronics have gotten smaller and more powerful, the semiconducting materials involved have also shrunk. However, computers have gotten about as small as they can with existing designs—to break the barrier, researchers dive into the physics underlying quantum computing and the unusual behaviors of gold in quantum mechanics.

Researchers can convert gold into semiconducting quantum dots made of a single layer of atoms. Their energy gap, or bandgap, is formed by the quantum confinement—a quantum effect when materials behave like atoms as their sizes get so small approaching the molecular scale. These 2-D gold quantum dots can be used for electronics with a bandgap that is tunable atom-by-atom.

Making the dots with monolayer of atoms is tricky and the bigger challenge is customizing their properties. When laid out on boron nitride nanotubes, researchers from Michigan Technological University have found that they can get gold quantum dots to do the near-impossible. The mechanisms behind getting gold dots to clump atom-by-atom is the focus of their new paper, recently published in ACS Nano.

Yoke Khin Yap, professor of physics at Michigan Tech, led the study. He explains that the behavior his team observed—atomic-level manipulation of gold quantum dots—can be seen with a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). The STEM’s high-powered beam of electrons enables researchers like Yap to watch atomic movement in real-time and the view reveals how gold atoms interact with the surface of boron nitride nanotubes. Basically, the gold atoms glide along the surface of the nanotubes and, they stabilize in a hover just above the hexagon honeycomb of the boron nitride nanotubes.

Gold atoms ski along the surface of boron nitride nanotubes. Better understanding this phenomena, using detailed atomic images from a scanning electron microscope (STEM), could help physicists, materials scientists, and computer engineers develop better computers, cell phones, wearable devices, and other electronics.

The atomic skiing and stopping is related to the so-called energy selective deposition. In the lab, the team takes an array of boron nitride nanotubes and runs a gold-laden mist past it; the gold atoms in the mist either stick as multilayered nanoparticles or bounce off the nanotube, but some of the more energetic ones glide along the circumference of the nanotube and stabilize, then start to clump into monolayers of gold quantum dots. The team shows that gold preferentially deposits behind other gold particles that have stabilized.

“The surface of boron nitride nanotubes are atomically smooth, there are no defects on the surface, it’s a neatly arranged honeycomb,” Yap said, adding that the nanotubes are chemically inert and there is no physical bond between the nanotubes and gold atoms. “It’s much like skiing: You can’t ski on a bumpy and sticky hill with no snow, ideal conditions make it much better. The smooth surface of the nanotubes is like fresh powder.”

The search for new materials for future electronics and quantum computing has led researchers down many paths. Yap hopes that by demonstrating the effectiveness of gold, other researchers will be inspired to pay attention to other metal monolayers at the molecular-scale.

“This is a dream nanotechnology,” Yap said. “It is a molecular-scale technology tunable by atom with an ideal bandgap in the visible light spectra. There is a lot of promise in electronic and optical devices.”

The team’s next steps include further characterization and incorporating device fabrication to demonstrate all-metal electronics. Potentially, monolayers of metal atoms could make up the entirety of future electronics, which will save a lot of manufacturing energy and materials.
