Seth Lloyd did a talk at the Long Now Foundation in 2016 about his research into quantum computing. He made the point that his research is (partially?) funded by the NSA - which was great because the NSA's position on quantum computing/cryptography was basically "we would prefer that quantum computers are impossible, but if they are possible then we want the first one". So - every time he'd go to them and say "well...we haven't cracked the nut quite yet" they would turn around and say "great!" which is quite the unusual funding situation.

> I rather not have startups that have sometimes have pretty dubious reputations for skirting the law trying to get into this space.

Why not? The Stroem protocol, combined with Bitcoin payment channels, is completely trustless from the consumer's perspective. The coins are stored on your phone (or whatever device you want to use for it).

Only merchants need to trust issuers, in exactly the same way that merchants need to trust VISA/Mastercard etc. now. The primary difference is that the system is designed for competition between issuers, instead of a centrally-defined issuer (e.g. VISA or Mastercard).

> What if someone steals your bitcoin what do you do?

If someone steals your bitcoins they're gone. But if you don't trust yourself to keep your bitcoins safe, you're free to deposit them with someone you trust. That's the benefit of Bitcoin: if you feel confident guarding a private key you can store them yourself and, if you don't, you can use an external wallet service -- the best of both worlds.

> Or if you purchase something and you don't get it.

If you find a merchant appears suspicious you should use an escrow service. With the Stroem protocol, adding a layer on top that enables chargebacks via an escrow service is really simple, and completely decentralized. Pick any escrow service you like, who all compete on service/features/price -- no need to always use PayPal/VISA.

Again, the advantage is that you're not forced to pay for something you don't need (chargeback insurance) unless you deem it necessary.

Here's my unsolicited opinion: you preemptively answer "why wouldn't I just use git?" but I think "why is this better than track changes?" is the question prospective users are more likely to have. Comparisons to SharePoint versioning might also be helpful.
Wouldn't you need to have a majority of the hash power to fork the chain and generate a longer one anyway? I think it's well understood that anybody managing to go above 50% of the hash capacity effectively "rules" the currency.

As always, Firefox Portable has been updated to 54.0: https://portableapps.com/news/2017-06-14--firefox-portable-5...

Firefox Portable is a portable package for Windows, so you can run Firefox without altering any local browser installs or leaving personal details behind. It's a fantastic way to run multiple versions side by side with independent profiles for testing both websites and extensions. All versions of Firefox are available including the latest Developer Edition, Beta version, Extended Support Release, and Nightly releases. All packages are open source under the GPL and totally free. And you can test alongside portable packages of Opera, Iron, Maxthon, and SeaMonkey as well as the three main channels of Google Chrome (Stable, Beta, Dev).
"Quantum Computing Might Be Here Sooner Than You Think"

Haven't these stories had this same headline for at least 10 years now?
It's currently number 20 - below this post even.
Visualizing binary data is definitely an interest of mine and I plan to eventually write some tools for this. It's really cool to see that my brainstormed list of features differs so much from some of the other available tools out there. Just part of that cycle of inspiration.

Space-filling curves weren't even on my radar and I'm still not sure that I'd want to implement them. I do like the result, though and may take that into consideration.
I love Word.
Those are two different things.

React, in its current form, requires classes or something class-like in order to implement stateful components with lifecycles. It also does not require that you handle data immutably - you can run `this.state.someArray.push(newValue); this.setState({someArray : this.state.someArray})`, and React will re-render just fine.

However, React also pushes you in functional programming directions: render methods should be pure functions, performance optimizations with `shouldComponentUpdate` work best if you've handled data immutably, and so on. The React team also plans to investigate a "stateful functional component" API at some point after the React 16 release.

It's also worth noting that React was not the only reason why classes were added to Javascript. There were hundreds of "pseudo-class" implementations out there already (all a little bit different than the others), and there was clearly enough demand for the concept to add it to the language in a standardized way.

Meanwhile, Redux has definitely helped popularize the idea of updating data immutably. The array spread operator was already added in ES6, and the object spread operator is nearing finalization. No, the language doesn't have full-blown immutable data structures, but handling data immutably is absolutely possible. If you don't like dealing with immutable updates yourself, there's Immutable.js (as you said), or dozens of immutable update utility libraries.

Particularly in the case of Redux, use of classes for data is discouraged because of the other constraints Redux asks you to follow. Plain serializable data is needed in order for time-travel debugging and persistence scenarios to work properly.

Overall, your complaints are split across a couple things. Classes exist because some JS devs want to use them. Functional-style approaches exist because some devs want to use them. Languages like C# and C++ have been "everything and the kitchen sink" for a while now, supporting multiple different paradigms in one language - Javascript is now the same way.

We've just launched a side project. Just wanted to share in case it is useful to others.

If you use Twitter to consume content, Gnowtify might be perfect for you. The use case fits for people that want to follow people who share great content or who want to focus not on the status updates but rather the links people share.

Gnowtify is a Twitter reader that lets you filter and share the content from the people you follow. Easily and intuitively discover great articles by keyword search.

Gnowtify shows you the content behind the links in your stream (eliminating the status updates) as well as allowing you to save them to read later.

For negative prescriptions, I would suggest always wearing them. While 0.25 is very small, its still better, and can reduce headaches. The effect of not wearing glasses is that your brain makes you squint, squeezing the lens of your eye slightly. Over longer periods of time this causes muscle fatigue around your eyes leading to odd conditions, perhaps like the one you described.

I actually need the first item listed there (InDinero replacement), but I signed up and am sort of confused?

But it's a fairly nasty problem - porting your books a proprietary platform to QuickBooks seems full of traps.
Note that the object spread operator is still only a Stage 3 proposal, although I believe it's just been implemented in Chrome. The array spread operator was in ES6, and JSX syntax also supports an object spread inside of angle brackets.

There's a meme on facebook that's been huge for awhile, about how people need to start listening to science. This shows a fundamental misunderstanding about how science operates in the real world. There will always be judgment calls about what constitutes a valid experiment, what results to discard because they're obvious tainted, etc., right down to the arbitrary choice of a threshold "p<0.05".

In philosophy we might try to paint things as black and white, but in the real world it almost never turns out to be so clear.

EDIT: there's another flaw that I think may itself be fatal. That is, the ability to use this as a SLAP tool. Even if your opponent isn't lying, you can tie them up in the courts long enough to keep them out of the running. Thus, the folks with deep pockets and can afford lawyers will cement their control.

In retrospect, "Going its own way" for init systems is a normal thing in the Unix world. That was actually a terrible example.

The problem I see here is that your definition of counterproductive might not match mine.

Maybe I think punishment is important for moral reasons so longer prison sentences are something I favor. That's not exactly a logic level issue, that's not a media issue, that's a moral decision I've made. Just because my view of the world differs from yours doesn't make it less valid, maybe I made a decision based on my conscience or upbringing instead of on pure economic or improving lives grounds. I don't think that makes the decision less valid. Many such policies can be viewed in this light.

The dark energy phenomenon driving accelerated expansion is poorly described by theory, so predictions don't mean much. But yes: if expansion continues accelerating as it has been then eventually it will overpower intra-galaxy gravitation, then intra-system, and eventually intra--celestial-bodies and so on. Eventually planets and stars (and atoms and protons!) would be ripped apart.

A different way to look at it might be that there are fewer applications that can benefit from higher speed that can't be parallelized. 2x speedup on your CPU gives you what exactly? And at 64gb of ram, I don't need 128gb unless I'm moving into HPC territory. Consumer PC hardware is good enough and everything new people want to see has to do with flashy graphics in low-power small-form-factor devices (or people want decisions made for them in what turn out to be computationally intensive ways).

As you point out, graphics, deep learning, AR, and others can benefit from increased computational power. Therefore, we're seeing Moore's Law (which didn't start with Moore) appear where that increased compute ability can be most readily applied.

Meanwhile, when an exciting new technology appears, there are always a small group of people that have the required expertise. With IT, young brains are able to learn these new skills incredibly quickly, so markets respond very quickly. From what I've seen, there's usually an overshooting effect where people think "there's a future in X" for longer than they should. Maybe school is to blame. But basically, you have a ton of new entrants to the market, and they fill demand, but demand levels off sooner or later, and that leads to the low-paying oblivion you're talking about.

I point all this out because there's nothing magic about deep learning, AR, etc. They may not be high paying niches for long. And already, the most-reliable/highest-paying opportunities seem to be working in small groups serving defined markets.

>My observations are that I typically see a female CEOs income be the first thing that is ever brought up when they are in the spotlight but I don't ever see that as the first go to with male CEOs.

I don't know where you're getting that from. Like I said, CEO compensation has been a big issue for years. It comes up all the time when a high-profile CEO is fired - especially if they are fired for doing a mediocre or a terrible job.

So I cannot believe you actually went there on this issue and in light of countless articles and podcasts discussing this matter from all angles, from the right-wing, mainstream, and left-wing media, and all you could see is that women (one woman specifically - because you haven't given any other examples) are unfairly singled out.

Jesus, just google it - you don't have to dig too deep. Change the search criteria to this year, and then last year, and then the year before, etc. And you'll have countless examples.

>In this case, I'm referring to reading HN for 7 years everyday and watching comments in response to all articles as well as the ones about female CEO

You are aware of what confirmation bias is, right? Turning this around, if Marissa was man, all things being equal (as in the compensation and level of criticism), would you have even bothered commenting? Would you have disagreed with any criticism in this thread?

>I'm not overlapping my perceptions of reddit with HN on how reddit treated both Ellen Pao and Sheryl Sanders (she devil, satanist among other things are names they endured upon their first week in office).

> Unfortunately, I did not see Apple jumping into back the notion of childcare needs years ago When Marissa was chastized for having a nursery in her office.

I'm not sure what the point of that dig at Apple is but I remember the Marissa/nursery controversy well. And this a good example of your dishonesty or maybe your blind-spot. Marissa was chastised for her hypocrisy. She banned working for home - a policy that was very popular with new parents, but then built herself a nursery - just for herself - so she could bring her kids to work because unlike everyone else, she worked hard. Of course people will criticize her.
IIRC the expansion is accelerating according to the best observations. Which means in the far future galaxies should find themselves in an endless sea of voids. Eventually stars, planets, living beings and atoms will all get torn apart unless something counters the accelerating expansion.
Here in Florida, those forest fires are required for some of the tree species in the endangered Florida scrub[1] and sandhill[2] ecosystems to germinate, in addition to clearing out space for smaller plants to thrive. Florida has a pretty regular controlled burn system though, developed over the years of trying to protect these habitats.

I've never lived on the west coast, but I wonder sometimes if the out-of-control wildfires that happen out there so often would be better if there were more controlled burns happening? Or is it just too dry out there for even that?
