It is as certain as anything in science. Yes, QM is incomplete, but it places hard constraints on the space of possible completions, and none of them allow FTL communications. FTL would break not only QM and relativity, but causality: it would allow you to send information backwards in time.

From the perspective of someone who works in fundraising for a non-profit, and has worked for a startup in the past, I find this article really interesting. A lot of the points here touch on ideas that are well-known in the non-profit fundraising community. Based on his experiences fundraising, it seems like startups could draw a lot on fundraising experiences in the non-profit world. On the flip-side, I've found that my experience in the for-profit world has been a massive leg-up on the other individuals in the non-profit world.

The more I think about it, the more I see parallels between non-profits and start-ups. Their day-to-day existence relies on fundraising. There is generally more work than workers, requiring employees to have a broad skill set and prioritize work effectively.

One of the biggest things that I think ties start ups and non-profits, is that their success relies heavily on who is advising them, be it a board, investors, or other stakeholders. I think good guidance is at least as important as money for any organization, especially in the beginning.
Fellow millennial here. I'd recommend investing in stock indexes. Your money, on average, will grow at a faster rate than inflation. If you leave your money in a checking or savings account, you will lose money to inflation.

Edit: Just for clarity, I know that you said you invest in stocks currently, but I was mostly speaking to, "I cant find anywhere else I would put the bulk than a savings account." I don't have a savings account, and I treat my investments like savings. You shouldn't need a lot of money in your current savings account, but you should have a lot in investments. If you feel the need to have a lot in your savings account, I'm guessing it means you take money out of it often, in which case it might as well be in a checking account. Just my $0.02.
So it's better to legally require concealing the truth than it is to prevent employers from discriminating in this way?
> I'm holding some long term positions in stocks, but honestly, I cant find anywhere else I would put the bulk than a savings account.

Unless you have a reason to be risk averse, then continuing what you're doing is probably best (e.g. ETFs/mutual funds/stocks/bonds). Buying into the market is a great passive way to grow your wealth.
I wasn't even aware of existence of that!
It's a spectrum. One of my buddies started an LLC in NY. I'm just going to quote him:

New York State:
1. When you incorporate an LLC in this state, they require you to publish your LLC's incorporation in two different newspapers, at a cost of about $1200. They choose the newspapers.
2. Their LLC incorporation website only works during business hours. Yes, that's right. The website only works 9 to 5.
3. They can only receive information by fax and mail and the fax numbers don't work.
Yeah, I use a similar device and it really is an almost perfect replacement for pen and paper notes
Not quite as impressive when you know, and if you don't you should before opening this link, that "quantum teleportation" is not teleportation. It was a cool-sounding name at the time, but has nothing to do with sci-fi style teleportation: nothing disappears from one place and then shows up in another.

"Quantum teleportation" is a process of information duplication using particles that already exist, and have been positioned such that there is enough distance between them that we can rule out direct interaction between them (that we know of given the current state of physics). Quantum teleportation is the process by which we then manipulate only the particles on one side of the distance divide, such that particles on the other side "end up" reflecting the same state that the ones we manipulated were.

Although "ending up" is probably the wrong term, because we use particles in special states of which we already know they're entangled, then split them up (which does not cancel entanglement) and then we make use of their entanglement property: running an algorithm involving particles on one side should yield the exact same result as running the same algorithm on the other side, so a much more interesting algorithm is one that you run on one side in one way, and on the other in a different way, to effect a "data copy" without ever actually copying data (and very much without any kind of teleportation. The fact that you run your process with "the same particle" is the special part. Being able to even have two particles that are literally the same is a pretty bizarre bit of physics)

If you're looking for near-zero risk, there's really nowhere you can invest that's much above 0%. The good news is that inflation is also near 0%. (Although that's not much consolation is you're trying to save up for housing in areas where that's appreciating rapidly.)

Saving has always been about taking a portfolio approach. Risk free investments have never had a great return relative to inflation. (Because basically they can't.)

In this classical picture the decision which glove was in your pocket was made when you put it into your pocket. Still in your pocket, the glove already interacted with the world like a right or left glove e. g. the glove bulged the pocket in a certain way and moved fluff around in your pocket.
If the gloves would be quantum objects, the glove would be in a superposition state. At the same time the content in your pocket would be the right and left glove.
Hence it would interact with your pocket in both ways before measured leaving your fluff in your pocket also in an undetermined (superposition) state.

Things get more complicated here because we talk about huge classical objects with a lot of atoms. And here it is practically impossible to obtain such a superposition because the glove interacts a lot with the environment. E. g. by looking at the bulge of your pocket you might be able to determine the glove type without opening the pocket.
I think a big thing people ignore when they make the Fight Club reference is that the story of Fight Club is really act 1 of the story of Mr. Robot. It isn't really trying to be different there. They even acknowledge that by their obvious references to Fight Club. However, Mr. Robot is a spiritual sequel. It asks the questions what is next after you wipe out everyone's debt. How does the world react to that, how do the banks react to that, how does Tyler Durden react to that, etc?

The show is also fully aware that the underling motives behind the hack are immature. That is why in the 2nd season they show that the world is worse off than before. Freeing people from debt didn't solve everyone's problems. It shows that F Society is really a bunch of childish vandals who got in over their heads.

You haven't really addressed the article. Are the descriptions of how smartphones have changed society and the people living in it wrong in some way? I'd be curious to hear thoughts on that. You spent 3 paragraphs essentially saying "I disagree", with little elaboration.

"Living technology-free" is a strawman. The author is saying we should be more conscious of how we use technology, not abandon it all together.

P.S. You also seem to be taking it rather personally...

But for a few years now I've been using Trello with the (open sourced) Agile SCRUM Chrome Extension

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/agile-scrum-for-tr...

It is a very quick methodology to manage all my projects as well as estimate timings and effort for everything. I set how many hours I want to work a week, estimate each task duration and priority and the extension can tell me how long it will take to finish each milestone and release dates.

Organizing boards on Trello:

I have one board with an overall view of all the projects in a Kanban style (To Do, In progress, Completed) and then one board for each project with their lists (To Do, In progress, Testing, Completed) and follow a loose non-strict Agile SCRUM methodology.

Shameless plug, but this is why my company, Survata, reviews every single survey that goes out through us, to catch biases written into questions. They can seriously skew results. That said, even though I imagine there was some level of confusion about savings v. checking, my guess is that the overall conclusion wouldn't change substantially if you guaranteed the respondents all understood the question identically. The news that Americans don't have nearly enough savings isn't exactly new, and as others have pointed out, there are plenty of situations where living paycheck to paycheck is the only realistic option.

Ah there it is. So I think it's safe to say that this article is indeed useless. It would be great to see a real survey of this nature, but asking about only savings accounts is a pretty lame.
> Having the SHA-512 hash at the beginning simplifies the implementation

The hash is there to ensure very long passwords contribute entropy to the final hash instead of being truncated. It also ensures the entropy is evenly distributed - every bit of the password affects every bit of the hash.

> the "security" code only needs to handle 64-byte random strings

You can't feed any typical BCrypt implementation a raw SHA-512 hash because it's not binary safe - it truncates at the first NULL byte.

Well, you can, and it'll appear to work, but it'll be laughably easy to break. It's a pretty stupid sharp edge IMO.

> which are truncated to 54-byte strings for `bcrypt`

72 bytes, because that's the size of the key array. 56 bytes is just where extra entropy helps less, because the last 16 bytes don't affect every bit of the output.

> That removes all sorts of stupid edge cases that come with variable-length strings.

It's just treated as a circular buffer. And what are we doing here, implementing our own version of BCrypt? Yeah, that certainly simplifies things :P

It's unclear the intent of the author, but for this community it can be taken as a reminder that scandal is often ephemeral - stirring up the press and public but making no lasting change. The tragedy of a Victorian seamstress, the San Bernardino iPhone, Sandy Hook... To effect change requires a concerted, persistent, depressingly long effort to see it through, not just shouting for a bit.

There seems to be a real disconnect between some HN readers and most Chinese, who have a median income of $10k. Half of the Chinese live on less. Most of them don't live paycheck to paycheck and many don't have huge debts on top.

Instead, the Chinese are financially responsible and save between 25% and 50% of their income. They accomplish this by reducing their consumption.

For some reason, I misread what you said as:

"smart people have essentially become random gratification engines in the same way as slot machines."

Somehow, that seems strangely appropriate.

If you're making interesting posts on social networks like Facebook (or HN, for that matter), you're providing that instant gratification you're talking about.

Similar things could be said about those building social networks and the technology that enables them, that are then used for instant gratification.

The traditional advice for long-term (7+ year) savings is a mix of low-cost index funds and bonds.

> So teleport in this case doesn't really mean teleport

I would disagree with this statement. For all intents and purposes, the photon receiving the "transfer" is now indistinguishable from the photon that was transferred, before the event took place. That is to say, it has a completely identical quantum state following the transfer, and the "original" photon no longer has that "original" quantum state. They are only separate in space, and the transfer event took place at a defined "instant in time". It is is indeed ok to call this teleportation as (although this might seem odd in the practical sense) it is not possible to prove that the original photon was not teleported through space-time.

Probably important is a pretty big underestimate.
