One qubit could hold 0 and1 simultaneously and perform some operations/calculations on it simultaneously.

Two (entangled) qubits could hold 00, 01, 10, 11 simultaneously and perform calculations on these four values simultaneouslty.

...

100 (entangled) qubits could hold 2^100 distinct values simultaneously and perform calculations on them simultaneously.

That's the basic idea. The problem is keeping entangled state that's becomes harder and harder as number of entangled qubits grows.

Also there are limitations in extracting of calculations results from system of qubits, so not all algorithms can be speed up on quantum computers (but e.g. integer factorization can).
It is not a full publication yet. The experiment section is left as to-do and that is a very important section in any paper.
They will most likely publish it in the near future.
Fact is, the "dude" doesn't know how to get his text editor to use the same tabbing as the kernel code he's editing, and doesn't know how to run a patch through the kernel's "checkpatch.pl" script, without which it will be rejected from upstreaming.

The idea that the kernel runs idle tasks on cores while actual tasks are runnable (and that this situation persists for seconds) is ridiculous. It's such a gaping problem, that everyone doing anything with Linux anywhere would be running into it on a regular basis.

Think about all the people out there who carefully profile the performance of their multi-threaded apps. Like all of them wouldn't notice missing seconds of execution?
Iran and Saudi Arabia are "mortal enemies" on many levels, India is an option but it co-develops allot of its weapons with Israel.

Also don't confuse overt and covert politics in the Middle East.
There's allot of posturing and pretense on the surface but allot of cooperation under it.
Israel and Saudi Arabia are as close to allies as they can be in the current geopolitical landscape.
But doesn't it set a precedent?

Say an innocent Afghan family gets hit by a US drone on their own home soil. Wouldn't their family want to sue the US government?
It might just be a reflection on North American politics, but I think it is impressive when a politician is willing to educate themselves about the basics of any technical subject.
Think about it another way - if you lose a day a week of productive work because of training that means your employer is paying you for 5 days and only getting 4 days of work from you.

You can look at it in different way.

If company buys a car, it starts loosing its value. There is certain proportion you can write off each year and finally you can write off the car completely.

You are in fact suggesting the same to be applied to human beings.

I think that human beings can not afford that, they have to be as new also after 5 years of work, or even 10 and more.

This does not happen by itself, one has to put time and money into it and this should be fairly compensated.

There are two ways for it - it happens as part of work and is therefore compensated as salary, or it happens after regular work hours and is compensated as overtime.

There is no other way how it would be fair to the employee. They are not cars that can be used and thrown away.
1. Inform the parents and work out a plan.

2. If nothing changes, move the kids to the same foster home and work with the parents to create a better environment to the kids.

No one here is trying to raise damaged kids; the parents seem to just have a view of how to raise their children that infringes on their kids’ rights. If they break the law a second time after being informed that what they’re doing is illegal, then we know it will require more than just informing them. Taking the children away clearly should not be the first step unless we already know they are defying the law.
I'm no expert and might be horrible wrong on the math, but I imagine it like this:

2 bit => 2 ^ 2 => 1 of 4 possible state

2 qbit => 4 of 4 possible states. That's 4 times the information (although extraction of the information is limited)

With bigger numbers:

10bit => 1 of 1024 possible states

10qbit => 1024 of 1024 possible states (1024 times as much)
That still leaves a little bit of an issue: taxpayers financing campaigns for parties they will never vote for.

As a French citizen, I can't figure out a good reason why I have to give a cent to some nutjobs just because they woke up one morning and decided they were fit to rule the country (Jacques Cheminade, far left/right leaders, etc.).
> So any task with `Parent-Id` will be a sub-task. If User owns the tasks he can see the subtasks tree also. but if you own the sub task alone, for you it is like a normal task with an out of scope parent.

That should work.

I'm not sure what a recursive calendar event is. Are you reading "recurring" instead of recursive?

> I have not thought about Sub-Projects, any suggestions?

The same `Parent-Id` solution as subtasks should also work here.
Women actually are separated from men in public areas in Saudi Arabia, so even with applying a strict nitpicky interpretation, the usage is accurate.

More generally, though, don't you realize how badly it comes off when we're talking about a truly terrible situation for millions of people, and the only contribution you can offer is some semantic nitpicking? Do you really think that is being helpful or productive? Pick your battles, man.

The opinion in Calder v. Bull is a little opaque, but the academic work I've read on the subject explains that the differentiation was based on the definition of the term "ex post facto law." Calder v. Bull relied on how the term was defined by William Blackstone, an influential English jurist, as well as by various state constitutions.

Jeff Bezos explains his business model to shareholders
If 8 families want to live in a single family home, it must be an exceptionally desirable area, with very little housing.

It stands to reason there are probably many more people who want to move in to the area, but who aren't willing to be one of 8 families in a single family home.

So given the huge amount of pent-up demand, there must be some building laws in place keeping this specific city from growing upwards, and generating supply for this demand.

This is probably a building limits problem.
Everybody's got an agenda.

Sometimes standoff is good and necessary. Stay out of threat range, not be seen or heard by the enemy as you follow them with your targeting pod, etc.

Sometimes standoff is pointless. Friendlies on the ground are in a knife feet with the enemy less than 100m away and they need air support. Now close, and slower to better maintain SA on who the friendlies are and who the enemy is -- and the ability to deliver weapons with lower Risk Estimate Distances and/or Collateral Damage Estimates is critically important. The GAU-8 does both. The F-16 gun is useless. A laser guide bomb in this scenario may present too much risk for fratricide.

A-10s can carry more ordnance, for a longer time over a target area, and need less tanker support to do so, than an F-16. And for less $/flying hour. It does cost speed. A-10s don't go anywhere quickly. But it can perform CAS in a standoff roll, or in a close-in fight equally well.
Awesome! Id love to see some more pictures and info about the team though. I'm an early adopter but this is a little too vapor wary right now
People often look at things like this like 'why would you...' But it is an interesting experiment that might make web programming more accessible. I think of my physicist cousin who uses python for data analysis. An option like this might lower the barrier to sharing data on the web - less JavaScript ecosystem knowledge required. JavaScript frontendy land moves so fast it can be overwhelming to outsiders, even if JavaScript itself is "easy."
It's not because the buyers are Chinese it's mostly due to the volume of purchases affecting the market so directly. They could be "Newfies" if you had as many driving up prices so dramatically, you'd get an outcry. It happens in the US in Portland you'll occasionally see signs about No Californians.

It doesn't help that many of those are not "regular" Chinese but people with money and connected, the Chinese .1%ers, so to speak, who are buying properties as a pied de terre in the event things go bad in the homeland and they need to hightail it as well as a place to park their connected money.
When you have half of the American candidates denying climate-change or evolution, you get excited when you see a political leader who evidently has taken the time to have a basic understanding of new and upcoming fields of study.
The way the things are set up now, things that are considered basics (rent, utilities, food) are exempt from consumption tax (which in the US is mostly sales tax). Exempt a category like clothing, and most of the basic consumption remains untaxed.
thanks for your feedback! will add those things
As the supply increases, and a greater proportion of demand is met, the cost will decrease. Remember this from Econ 101?
Sure, embed your encrypted messages in plain text or cat pictures using steganography.

Kite: Programming Copilot
Our group is responsible for building and maintaining 108 applications. We were tired of building user-permission systems into every application, so standardizing our user and group system around SCIM solved half of the problem. For a standardized way of managing roles-permissions, we've adopted the ANSI RBAC [1] standard. The Apache Directory project's Fortress [2] sub-project is compliant with the ANSI RBAC specification and also implements ARBAC principles for role and permission administration.

The final piece of our centralized Authentication and Authorization strategy is a security server that allows a client with an OAuth2 Bearer token to access the user-group system, role-permission system, and to authenticate to our applications on behalf of a user using JWT. We're still working on a UI that will allow delegated administration (we've got 200k active users to manage) so that a manager will be granted the right to administer certain roles-permissions and it's then their responsibility for making sure their employees have the appropriate permissions.

We're in the process of adding ABAC style permissions so that we can manage user access in n-dimensions while slicing data (an employee might be allowed to manage financial data per the RBAC roles they're assigned but we also need to make sure they can only charge expenses to accounts that they're responsible for and potentially to apply limits to what they can spend without higher approval).

The first parts of our system are functional and we'll be rolling several applications with simpler permissions out over the next two months. We've actually been thinking about this problem for over three years, implemented the first of the ANSI RBAC roles over two years ago and we're finally getting the last pieces in place to make the whole system work. The only outstanding question is whether we can create a centralized UI for managing ABAC controls since these controls commonly require the context of the external application to make any sense.

In any case, I hope the two links below help!

> What I find surprising is lack of awareness among people regarding SA

There is not a lack of awareness. It's widely known that 1) Saudi is not any sort of friend to the US 2) it exports Islamic extremism 3) nearly all of the hijackers were Saudi 4) the Saudi kingdom, to some extent or another, had an involvement in enabling 9/11 5) Saudi Arabia is extremely backwards and oppressive when it comes to human rights

I've yet to meet an American that didn't have some knowledge of one or all of those points.

Facebook has attempted to build more housing and sometimes succeeded.

Even a billion dollar company apparently has less influence than many people owning million dollar homes and living and voting in the city. It will eventually be up to groups like BARF to sue cities that let business build while refusing to provide housing for the employees of said businesses.

He went around the perimeter institute building in Waterloo Ontario in Canada and spent some time learning the basics and trying to understand the work that they do there. He did understand the basic ideas that he was saying, it wasn't just a script and he was active and engaged learning throughout the day. Obviously he won't understand very much detail about it, but he doesn't need to. He is a prime minister, not working in this complex field of study. His goal has been trying to understand these more modern technologies so that he can better make decisions for the future. It is important for policy makers to understand the things they are making decisions about.
I think the National Post is doing more than "not gushing" about Trudeau, they take every opportunity to gut him, and I think it's a very clear indication of our "more reputable periodical's" very clear conservative bias which, as illustrated by the Andrew Coyne incident [0], is transparently driven by owner pressure.

I was under the impression that the benefit of quantum computing was the ability to come to the "correct" answer for certain kinds of computationally complex problems instantaneously without having to actually "compute" them. So for example you'd spend a great deal of time up front engineering a way to present a problem to a quantum computer and when you execute said program it gives you the result that very moment without actually having to perform any traditional "operations".

So for example, let's say you wanted to figure out if some enormous number is prime. If you get your program right you could feed it to a quantum computer and all possible states of prime/non-prime would be measured at once resulting in the answer (state) being available the moment you "observe" it.

From this perspective quantum computing can be nearly infinitely faster than traditional computers while at the same time being mostly useless for every-day tasks such as surfing the web.
They've tried before and it hardly ever works.

Down this path lay the destruction of meaning. Do you realize that you've just argued that anything can mean anything, definitions and objectivity no longer matter providing the circumstances are serious enough?

We're sitting here talking on a discussion board. The readership of this site in general is not in a position to do anything about the fucked up situation in Saudi Arabia. We are in a position to do something about people (arguably) misusing language in our own back yard.
What you say assumes that people want to purchase anything a developer builds, anywhere, at any price. In reality, market forces encourage developers to build nice homes in good areas well served by various amenities (which are publicly and privately available).

The problem is that development is so tightly restricted in most areas, that new residents have few options.

In short, you are blaming the market for the results of zoning and land use restrictions.

For example, in Fremont right now, there's a development that was built without being placed in a school district. So the students who will live there have no real school.

Why would people with children move to a place without schools?
> Do you honestly believe that the majority of people (hell, even 10% of people) could explain it to even the level he did?

No, and what I said came across wrong. I was surprised, and I think that is sad, because things would be a lot better if most of our politicians understood science and technology.

The surprise should only be when they really, deeply understand something like this.
Note: This explanation is FAR from precise and is only trying to give an intuition

The key point is that qubits aren't limited to finite "multiple values", they can express an uncountable number of values. The best "short" answer is that a qubit can exist in a superposition (QM Term) of states. LOOSELY put it can have a probability of being a 0 and a probability of being 1 (with both probabilities adding to 1). This ability to encode information as the probability is the key to quantum computing.

When you measure (QM Term) the qubit, it takes on either the value 0 or 1 according to the probabilities you set it up with. This is computationally useful because with clever constructions you can make these probabilities meaningful.

For example Grover's Algorithm allows you to search an unsorted database for a particular item in O(sqrt(N)) time rather than the classical best O(N). The algorithm is successful with very high probability, note that because it uses the probabilistic nature of qubits, it itself can only be probabilistically correct, it just so happens you can make the probability of error very low (in theory lower than the chance your classical computer has a bit flip or similar)

The unfortunate restriction on QC is that you need enough qubits to encode your problem, if you can't hold the database in your "qubit memory" then you can't perform algorithm. In practice, building systems of qubits is extremely difficult and the current record is about 1000 as of 2015 I believe.

> Lastly, why do residents of Fargo seem to pay no attention to Winnipeg? I've never heard anyone from the area talk much about driving North for a bit of culture, despite it being a little closer than the Twin Cities.

Its easier to drive to the Twin Cities than Winnipeg (heck its easier to drive to the Twin Cities from Grand Forks) than to cross the border and use different currency. That border crossing is a pain in the rear. I did the crossing before 9/11 and it was a pain then.
We could test your idea if there were any French or Irish investors. Or even American investors.

Is it just skimming? When I saw the headline of the article I decided that, rather than skimming it, I'd try just reading all the words really fast. I haven't taken a class or anything, so maybe my technique could use work, but I understood it just fine at a little over 1300 words per minute. The writing wasn't very dense, and even then I didn't have time to think critically about what it was saying until after reading it, but I wasn't just skimming.

I think when you say they "fail", I think you are referring to the disengagements, right? The report you link to there says:

“Immediate manual control” disengage thresholds are set conservatively. Our objective is not
to minimize disengages; rather, it is to gather as much data as possible to enable us to improve our
self-driving system.

Also, table 4 reports the number of disengagements (for any reason) each month, as well as the miles driven each month. In the most recent month in that table, it's actually 16 disengagements over 43275.9 miles. That's approximately one disengagement every 2705 miles; about the distance from Sacramento, CA to Washington, DC. At the start of 2015 it was only 343 miles per disengagement; 53 disengagements over 18192.1 miles. The pace of improvement is incredible, especially considering disengagements are set conservatively.

Can a human drive from Sacramento CA to Washington DC without a single close call or mistake along the way? I really doubt it. This technology will be saving lives soon.
That's the same thing in the US. "Libertarian" is just what Republicans call themselves when most of their friends are Democrats, and they're worried people will think they're racist.

Good point, I was thinking more about people using ML in a professional capacity. It's interesting to think about how best to teach it, and it totally seems reasonable to save the math for later in some cases. Another interesting challenge is that ML fails in less obvious ways than coding in general, and maybe in some way, intuition for that is something to be taught early.
Making a presence does influence the tactical decisions made by the enemy.

Here's a simplistic example. If the enemy isn't aware that your side has CAS, he may believe that it's a good idea to attack your side in a certain way. He may get killed in the process, but that attack may result in some losses on your side.

If, on the other hand, the enemy is made aware of your CAS, he may opt to play it safe and not risk his assets by attacking you that way.

It's like when you play chess: some pieces control some areas of the board without doing anything. Just by being where they are, they restrict the opponent's actions.
