Actually, there is. Sci-fi teleportation removes something in one location, and manifests it in another. Quantum teleportation is much more like taking two human bodies (one yours, one inert) and two throw-away specially prepared human bodies, splitting them up as (you,special) somewhere and (special,inert) somewhere else, and then running a destructive read-local/write-remote operation.

In order to effect Quantum Teleportation, we run a process that literally wrecks one of the specially prepared bodies, _kills you_, and then if the second step of the process is run correctly on the other pair of bodies, wrecks the other specially prepared body and _restores you_ as you were before the cache-and-restore process, in the previously inert body.

And that's only if the second half of the process gets run correctly. It's quantum operations, so any quantum interference may disturb the system and you stay dead forever. Or, in QT terms: entanglement is lost and the information obtained is no longer correlated.

This is so far removed from what non-science considers teleportation that it is a misnomer at best, and a populist term when used outside of science at worst =)
When I think of a dickhead I think of someone who has a virile and penetrating mind.
Search, Maps, Gmail, Photos, YouTube are all best in their field. They have a lot of products that are more niche but their core lineup is solid.
> Low-Income Adults Struggle the Most With Saving Money

Is this really a significant enough conclusion to make a subheadline? It seems obvious to me that those who are living paycheck to paycheck (or close to it) would have trouble saving.
I guess I knew that when I wrote my comment. It would be nice if we all collectively remember when politicians spout nonsense like that the next time they grandstand or run for re-election.
Material availability isn't really the issue, although supply is still very constrained due to the dominance of the aerospace industry.

The real issue is expertise. High performance composite manufacturing techniques are jealously-guarded trade secrets. The amount of information in the public domain is really very limited.
It could also mean that the discussions are ongoing but McLaren doesn't want to lose their bargaining power by admitting the possibility. Their PR is under no obligation to be 100% honest and won't be if it is not in the company's financial interest.
I don't see "second fiddle to iOS" as necessarily a terrible thing.

OSX is a fine operating system. It's stable, strikes a great compromise between power, security, and ease of use, and is useful for pretty much anything you want to do with a present-day desktop.

I personally want Apple to keep it mostly the same but polish it, make it more secure (without making it less useful!), and improve things like stability and performance. Other than that I'm fine with it as-is.
Ridiculously amazing! I've worked on stuff like this before but had a problem where the keyboard isn't pressure sensitive so I was going to build a microphone tool that would match vibration with stroke intensity. However, you solved this with the wobble pad - quite brilliant (although I don't think you should have to click down). Awesome tool. Very excited about this.
Yes, that's it, and that's the key feature I was talking about.
Yes, Thinkpads have traditionally had the best linux hardware support of all laptops, ever since there were x86 laptops (the easiest installs were thinkpads, and toshiba, early on).

Now, this piece of hardware removes support for the standard way to access the hard drive. Why did they do that? Hardware engineer couldn't fix a glitch in a new chipset in time to fix the issue in time to ship? Exceedingly unlikely. You only change those chips when you have to, because of cost or design constraints, and Lenovo is shipping other, similar hardware that does work with standard storage drivers.

Someone (one person!) managed to flash the BIOS to add AHCI support, but certainly I don't need to point out that this level of tinkering is equivalent to a crypto secure boot situation for well over 99% of laptop-buyers. That is, they would not be able to defeat either.

Now, a large portion of those buyers are not even aware of linux, so it's very easy for them not to care. Some people take umbrage to the argument-from-not-caring (I've got mine! My video plays fine! etc.), not because you have shown that their position is wrong, but because it seems to them that you are arguing that you understand that they are screwed, you are not, and "too bad for you".
Your property costs the government money. Did you think your electricity, power, water, natural gas, roads, garbage collection, schools, police, and firefighters don't cost anything to maintain?
Actually it's more like a very significant amount of people have the majority of their net worth "stored" in their homes.

https://www.census.gov/people/wealth/files/Wealth%20Highligh...

(Direct link to spreadsheet here: http://www.census.gov/people/wealth/files/Wealth_Tables_2011...)

It's kind of difficult to fully read this 2011 survey since "percent holding" and "median value" is in two separate tabs, and it's hard to get a good sense of correlations. But the spreadsheet seems to show:

- Almost 70% of people owned a savings account, with a median value of $2,450 overall.

- 29% of people own a checking account, with a median value of $600

- 85% of people own a motor vehicle, with a median value of about $6,800

- 65% of people own a home, with a median equity value of $80,000

- 42% of people have a 401k, with a median value of $30,000

- 29% of people have an IRA account, with a median value of $32,000.

By far, it appears that housing is the most valuable asset many people own; at least, in every category, the median for housing is higher (sometimes up to 6 times higher) than the median for a 401K account. Also, it seems that a far more percentage of people have houses compared to 401Ks, the next largest category with >$10K median assets.

Now, is it a bad sign? The only things I can say:

A) Houses are hardly a "liquid asset".

B) Home ownership for many reasons is declining (http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2016/04/28/u-s-homeownership-...).

The later point makes me wondering if future generations' preparation for retirement may be impacted. The former is not a bad thing if you do have liquid assets for emergencies etc, but I can imagine there is a significant percentage which do not. (A 401K really isn't a great "liquid asset" for instance, and some probably don't have much of that.)
Within JavaScript, (pure) functional programming is a new trend.
Finland is a western, capitalist culture. Most western, capitalist countries have more compassionate cultures than the United States.
> I think Frodo's failure to destroy the ring is a good example of how Tolkien's books do not have a simple good vs. evil dichotomy.

I think its an example of how the focal characters are imperfect, but I don't think it shows that there isn't a simple good v. evil dichotomy in the books; I mean, there's no ambiguity that destroying the ring was the one correct course of action and that Frodo was falling short of it.
I own some silver! Although that's more of a catastrophe hedge, hah.

Unfortunately I don't have enough capital for real estate, but I've gotten some great replies to my (parent) on going for index funds.
Have those governments done more to earn that trust? I'm honestly asking. All I know is that I'm American, and I know mine hasn't.
If you live in southern US or in Australia, maybe. No way in most of Europe or UK, except during summer. Too low insolation.
Meaning is the same for 'fora' and 'forums', but both are fine and 'forums' is in fact more commonly used:
http://grammarist.com/usage/fora-forums/

I suspect same is true for viri/viruses and formulae/formulas but I'm not even worried enough about to check. Me saying 'viri' or 'formulae' would be me being a person I don't want to be.
You certainly can. Far more often what occurs on the internet is that people are jokey and disruptive without bothering to be brilliantly funny, and we don't need much of that here at all.
If they are going to launch it and hide that it's from Alphabet, why not just let non-Alphabet companies make those products and then buy the most successful one?

That's what Facebook did.
XMPP was just to crack the egg. They had to dangle a big enough carrot to get users to switch. They knew once they had them switched that it would be VERY unlikely users would go back. So... lockdown! And they were right, how many people have switched back to AOL/MSN/Yahoo? I know I haven't.
Opt-out tracking is unjustifiable no matter how convenient it may be for the developer.
People have complained about the loss of authenticity for much longer than the internet (much less social media) has been around.

It happens around any time of great change. We happen to be living through a period of some of the fastest changes in human history, so it's not surprising a lot of people are confused and feel like they've lost something.
Strange. I know now no one who thinks drinking coffee is batshit crazy. We must hang out/work with very different people...

Last I checked, caffeine in moderate doses has a mixed bag of positive and negative effects that's not clearly net negative.

There's controversy around whether moderate alcohol consumption (think 1 drink/day) has a positive effect. (Some studies say it does, but it's argued it's a statistical anomaly because people who don't drink at all are weird, e.g. former alcoholics, people with medical conditions that forbids them any alcohol, etc.)
That's a bad thing? :-)
It was unclear to me from the review, does the Spotlight Siri integration now let us type "Remind me to put out the trash cans when I get home" in Spotlight and have it perform the same action Siri would have done? I feel like for the couple of things that Siri parses well, it's way easier to use than the app itself, but I'm not going to speak into my computer in my open-plan office.
Worse, it's like trying to control where you can drive it.
Here's what I get when I try to view my messages in the browser on my phone: http://m.imgur.com/oSuv6NH

If you force the desktop version of the page it works, but is awkward. Instead I use a web wrapper that has some other nice features, like showing me my messages with formatting that scales well to my phone's screen size
Yes, cardio and anaerobic (weight lifting, etc) works wonders... but don't do it at the end of the day (10PM or even later) because you'll also have problems sleeping. Post-work out insomnia is a very common problem.

(IMO the best time for exercising is during the morning and afternoon)
In short: we generally only remove things when they break, break other things or the projects are dead. How hard we try to fix these things generally come down to how used our analytics say they are.
hangouts.google.com is enabled on my business account. I didn't enable it, so I can't tell you how it was done. Only that it's possible.
Your link says that one picosecond is one millionth of one millionth of a second.

The article itself says (or at least is written to imply) that ten picoseconds is one millionth of one millionth of a second.

Since ten is not one, one of those two statements (and definitely not ten of those two statements) must be incorrect.
I disagree.

While it is true that the Vietnamese and Cambodians didn't want to be colonies, the KR were vastly worse than being colonised.

KR were following the classic communist script that we have seen played out in many developing countries. The KR were created by communists, lead from Moscow and Beijing.
In what way should that change my reaction?

What's your reason for believing it should?

I'm asking these questions rhetorically.
Yes, I know that.
EE Bonds are not intended to be that liquid, they are meant to be held to maturity.
This might sound counterintuitive but let's say the cop admitted to some mistake? Say, slapping a cellphone out of the hand of some random person. What's the outcome? Punishment? More education?

Basically I'm wondering what is so bad for the cop afterward that they would rather try to cover up a simple mistake?
I've done well with bitcoins. If you look at just about any 1 year or 2 year or 3 year period, bitcoin has had great returns. There were only 2-3 spikes you could have bought during to lose money on a long position.

EDIT: I invest in this in addition to my 401k which is 25% stocks and 75% a guaranteed return fund. I wouldn't recommend bitcoin exclusively.
> Since this process converts quantum information to classical information (a digital or analog signal), we know that it must lose information. Only by making many measurements can we infer statistical properties of the entire quantum state. This is exactly what happens with the two-slit experiment.

Wow, I've never heard it explained that way. That's brilliant - did you come up with it? Interference patterns are the result of a huge number of individual photons interfering with each other at an enormous rate, and the result are laid out spatially...really lovely.
Yes, seeing ads to pay for the websites you use is definitely comparable to living in a police state bent on oppressing free will. They aren't diametrically opposed because they are unrelated.

I do not doubt that "some would say" this though.
Near-zero risk of what? If you mean "risk of decreasing in value", then checking and savings accounts aren't near-zero-risk either; cash tends to decrease in value over time due to inflation, and you're nearly guaranteed to lose money over time (though somewhat predictably). If you mean "risk of disappearing completely", then neither a savings account nor an index fund will do that.

A comment further up the thread asked for "very low risk"; the reply to that changed it to "near-zero risk".

Better to consider the type of risk you care about, and how much money you want associated with each type of risk. Checking accounts and index funds both make sense as part of an overall strategy. I don't know that savings accounts do, though, except perhaps as a purely organizational tool.
1. the article you linked says they have an average income of 10k, not median.

2. they have significantly lower cost of living

3. fta:

>in both China and the U.S., the average family’s assets were about eight times its average income.

4. seems this was a study of 2000 urban chinese, not all chinese. a sample of 2000 urbanites probably doesnt scale to over a billion people....

5. china has undergone several decades of large economic growth. if you compared china today with theUS in the late 1950s theyd probably seem pretty similar...

6. only 12% of chinese (from the 2000 person sample) owned a car
The 16kB ROM BASIC interpreter was the OS!

And you surely could not overwrite it.
>They're still using force where appropriate...

Yes, but the US police also uses it when it's NOT appropriate, which is the problem.
I don't know about Europe, but here in Uruguay and South America in general you have absolutely no say about what they do with your pension money.

There are even laws mandating the pension funds to invest in local Treasury bonds (which are fortunately reasonably safe and high-yield, Uruguay is among the most stable in the continent)

In Latin America in general pension funds are mismanaged and periodically raided by populist governments.
I find it amusing when people think they have discovered for the first time that the unemployment numbers are "wrong" in some way, e.g. only people who are actively looking for work are considered unemployed (as opposed to people who gave up looking), people who take new jobs for lower wages than their old jobs are considered fully employed.

The unemployment figures have been that way the entire time! It was never a secret.
> one should avoid SPAs like the plague

Why? I don't see any basis for such a statement, but I'm more than willing to learn.
Don't forget, prospective users had to upload new cp to become a member. In case that influences your conclusions
All the rumors so far point to a glass-backed body for the next iPhone.

And if they needed a partnership with McLaren for anything materials-related, I'd imagine it's too late for any product next year.
I like it but coming from socket.io I have a hard time with it. For instance, Where/how would I put my server logic? The "Node API" as its called isn't really helpful or not documented enough. But then again, I could have misunderstood what deepstream is all about or how you are supposed to be using it.
If you find this difficult you might want to try out Stripe Atlas.

Getting crypto right is not only about having a strong encryption algorithm.
I'd say that what makes crypto hard is that it requires a lot of knowledge on both math and computers, but it might be considered a not-only CS field as the math requirement is higher than usual on CS.
In theory, VATs are taxes over added value. That means it just doesn't matter in how many unities you break the production, turning the same insumes into the same products creates the same taxes.

On practice, of course, things aren't this clear cut. Every place I've looked at (not many) refuses to simply deduct the already payed VAT from companies debits, and instead use some complex rules to determine what is "added value" that often enough subsidize large business on the expense of small ones.
Thanks for this writeup. You've given a lot of interesting thoughts and insights.
It's fine to say, "Hey, I don't like this--here's the personal story about how I had a huge problem with it." It goes off the rails when he starts calling it "our" [collective] problem. Sorry, I just think that's assuming an awful lot about one's audience.
As someone who believes in free markets and voluntary exchange, the ethos of Mr Robot resonates with me. I also haven't seen any love of big government (but I've only seen S01).

When government is continually debasing money through forced inflation, it's not surprising that people develop a distaste for money itself. Rather than functioning as a virtuous representation of value creation, inflating money just represents political connection to the central bank. Rather than being able to build up savings to gain security and negotiating power, the common person's primary interaction with money is having to service the debt driving their wage-slavery.

If you believe in free markets, you should want to make money sound again. Writing off people's rational distaste for the role money is presently playing just allows the fundamental problem to continue growing.
What was the origin of that quote? I mentioned it offhand in conversation the other day but couldn't remember where I'd heard it.
Obviously, this isn't competing with someone who is spinning up their own Django/Rails/Node solution.

The big questions that come to mind:

1. How does this compare with hosting Wordpress. I like that with Wordpress, if some issue comes up, you can find someone who knows the innards and program what you need. Does the user have that level of access?

2. How does it compare with WIX, and the other site building competitors?

3. What if someone has built some great piece of code and I want to install some of the functionality on my site, can I do it?

It just seems that it is a closed enough system that I have to rely on Weebly engineers to do everything.
I pay for most of the things you mentioned out of my own pocket. My kids go to private school. Currently, property tax pays for some of those things, but only because our system is structured to work that way. Without getting into a long, drawn out discussion, I believe that there could be better ways to pay for those things.
So let's say I'm going to set-up a small business with an online store and other content (blog, etc...). Let's also say I don't care about the tech stack or want to be doing custom css/html.

Weebly looks promising for that, and at $25-50/month isn't too bad.

For people more familiar with this area, what other options are there? Wordpress+shopify? And how do the fees stack up with the different options?
Hah, thanks! ;)

Check out our online code editor too (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ry5aeykn1l56l17/Screenshot%202016-...) -- templates now use Mustache and LESS.

It's a pretty neat environment for editing online and seeing a real-time preview -- lots of people use this to learn to code. We also have a Ruby gem that you can plug into a git hook or your favorite IDE for rapid prototyping.
The United States were born out of inherent distrust of authority. That distrust continues on to the present, at our own peril in many cases (inability to have true national health care for example). Other countries do not necessarily have that same history and so the trust does not need to be earned; it was probably already there in the first place (at least moreso than the US.)
Hands on with the iPhone 7 Plus’ crazy new Portrait mode
They've said before that they have proprietary techniques that allow them to produce the CF for their road cars at scale more affordably.
That doesn't have to be as annoying as it sounds. If you use Gmail for example you can login via Google Sign-In, and later a system like that can support generic OpenID. Also, once logged in the site you logged into can save your session – it's not like you log into pages every time you use them.

It kind of moves the problem, yes – instead of securing password on each and every site you only have to protect your email password. But that you do have to do already, so imho it only removed one problem.
I doubt anyone has ever confused the two. "Off the record" is a well known phrase in our culture. The "off the record" protocol is not very well known.
To start off, I used Vanguard and did it all myself, which is a great option (many would say the best). I've since switched to Wealthfront, which is also pretty cool, although some people believe their slightly-higher fees don't buy you anything[1]. I personally disagree!

The general consensus from what I've read on investing is that it's impossible to beat the market consistently, so "professionals" are no more skilled than someone picking out random investment decisions from a hat :) On average, the market as a whole grows, so there's no real reason to try to risk beating it.

The MMM blog covers all of this in great detail, but if you're interested in chatting more about this stuff (or if you want a referral to Wealthfront for reduced fees!), hit me up. My email is [myusername]@gmail.

I was under the impression that if you want to start an LLC, you do it in Delaware if you ever want to upgrade to a C corporation or be acquired, in Nevada if you worry about taxes, in Wyoming if you want privacy, or in New Mexico if you want anonymity.

Then you register it as a foreign corporation with your state's Secretary of State.

Incorporating in your own state is unnecessary, unless you have a fixed business location that is always staffed during business hours, and are keen on avoiding registered agent fees.

Just incorporate in Delaware. Administration of U.S. corporations is their cash cow. They can't afford to make the process too burdensome, or some other state will eat their lunch.
Google is the kid who accomplishes little despite having a genius IQ as he's unable to focus.

Google needs to build a single messaging application (ala iMessage) into Android, Gmail, Google Docs, etc. Then, once that's done, support the messaging app on all mobile platforms.

Most people outside the tech world do not even know what iMessage is, but they use it daily. That is how integrated it is into Apple products - perfect. Google can do this on a much larger scale, but chooses, instead, to focus on pet projects they'll lay out to pasture in 12 months.

APPL and AMZN are going to eat Google's lunch.
