These are still using quantum circuit model. Universal quantum gates are universal because they can be can be used to build any circuit.

Programming the quantum computer means designing the circuit. Gates are reconfigured for each algorithm.

These models are computationally equivalent of course.
Make it better. Programming with switches was hard. High level languages were built. Managing memory was hard. Higher level languages were built.

There's this amazing lack of vision and inability to see that things can and will be innovated on. Why would it be anywhere near perfect by this iteration? Why would you expect that?

Also in terms of complexity - have you ever read an actual legal contract? Do you think 99.9% of people understand that?
> Perhaps prohibit news organizations from lying; then we only need to figure out how to do that without falling into censorship.

That's an interesting idea, though it then leaves a few very difficult questions that would need answering. Namely:

1. Who's a news organisation/journalist (this is already an incredibly controversial point as is)?

2. How do you prove intent? Because you could easily defend lies as mistakes on the organisation's part, which could serve as a get out clause for everything but obvious 'fake news' sites.

3. As well as perhaps the issue of who is actually within reach of your laws. The internet is global and the laws on it are localised as well.

Back in my carefree days of youth, I would save the seeds from all the pot I smoked, sprout them in wet paper towels, and plant the sprouts in poorly-maintained landscaping around government buildings. It grows quickly, so it was always amusing to see a couple of obvious marijuana plants springing up by the shrubs and juniper bushes.
Am I correct in thinking that diagrams have something like a "program-mode" part and a "normal-mode" part? From a new diagram, if I place some objects in normal mode and then switch to program mode, there's no textual representation of those objects.

No they're not, they are not wrapping an object instance, they are providing ad-hoc functionality only. The generic parameters provided to BubbleSort are constraining the arguments and allowing access to the ad-hoc functionality, something that can't be done with inheritance unless you own the type.

This is exactly how traits, implicits, type-classes, class-instances, and concepts work in other languages like Scala, Haskell, etc.
This is a great idea. I'm curious to see how it evolves.

When I was young, I thought the world owed me. As I grew older, I learned about it. I gained perspective, and I now see that the articles like the one above are not constructive, fail to see the big picture and offer absolutely no solutions.

The young of today are likely to live longer and more prosperous lives than previous generations, worldwide. They have higher quality of life and more opportunities than previous generations.

The expanding credit market? It's due to the expanding world economy. We're on an exponential growth curve, and the young of today would be wise to take advantage of the incredible opportunity rather than lament circumstance.

Sketch is 99 dollars a year. After the year you can still use it but you won't get updates. If you work on a team you'll pretty much be forced to always have the latest version.

Still, 99/year is a drop in the bucket. Even 50/month for all of creative suite isn't all that much considering many of us will just add it to our business expenses and write it off.

Ask HN: Idea on hacking motivation to be more active and healthy; thoughts?
So you’ve purchased the latest activity tracker: fitbit, garmin, apple watch, etc. Your activity is being tracked automatically. You get to see your friend’s activity and compete with them. However you still need more motivation when it comes to being active and healthy.

My name is Jared Collett founder of an app called Better Habits (iOS) and myself and others I know personally feel this way. I’m setting out to try and understand just just how many others feel this way as well.

In order to present a respectable solution, I need more data. With the help of some friends, this is what I’ve come up with so far. I’d like you to tear it apart, rebuild it, add to it, express your unfiltered thoughts on how you would solve this problem.

Basic workflow, outlined in graphic flowchart below :

1. User set an activity goal: close all rings 5 days a week
2. User sets stake: $5 for every day they fail their goal
3. User activity is automatically tracked with activity tracker; Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Watch, etc.
4. If user fails to complete goal, their stake goes into community pot
5. Other users compete over money in the pot to send it to the charity of their choice by being active
6. App takes 20% of stakes to maintain and improve system.

Think StickK, Beeminder, Pact: Updated, easy, and automatically tracked

Can you clarify then wether the AV was simply not scanning the SQLite files (ie. the file extension or the file location was exempt in AV config) ?
Well atleast for me slack is cumbersome to use. When someone sends a few dozen lines of text, it needlessly formats and previews only few lines and whatnot instead of giving plain dump of text. Today while working on production issue i sent an XML file to team member but again due to formatting in slack it turned useless and I had to put my xml in file and mail it as attachment.

I guess I am just not sophisticated user to configure it to my requirements.

It's not about eliminating centralization, it's about minimizing the fragility it causes in key areas. We minimize it by locating bottlenecks and finding solutions in these areas, not throwing our hands in the air unless we have 100% decentralization (assuming we even want that).

Sensible proponents of Bitcoin shouldn't argue that centralization is "wrong", but that monetary centralization creates perverse incentives, and that Bitcoin is a potential solution to this.

> News management and opinion manipulation by itself is not necessary “evil”. Corporate communications and public relations departments often use certain propaganda techniques as a crisis management measure to prevent panic, additional financial and reputation damage, etc.

Ehhh.... I'll refer you to George Carlin's [edit: it's Bill Hick's] "If you're in marketing or advertising" bit.

> Fake news is the promotion and propagation of news articles via social media. These articles are promoted in such a way that they appear to be spread by other users, as opposed to being paid-for advertising. The news stories distributed are designed to influence or manipulate users’ opinions on a certain topic towards certain objectives.

Good definition. But by that method... NYTimes is fake news when it comes to GMOs and their consistent bias against it. I see journalists trying to push an ideology all the time.

We've lost trust in news institutions. Capital-F Fake news is especially egregious, but this definition of fake news, which is just about manipulating opinion, is _everywhere_.
Yeah ~3 FTE sounds about right. But if offered as grants for students to work on over internships or something, it would go a bit further. But I don't know enough about the GIMP codebase to know how feasible that would really be.

Are you talking about bouldering problems or top rope problems?

If you're talking specifically about top rope problems, a great way to up your game is to gain a reputation as a really good belay partner. It sounds weird, but spending time on belay teaches a whole lot about tempo. In my experience (I'm a mediocre climber), tempo is the biggest thing that separates novice climbers from mediocre climbers.

Otherwise, climbers tend to be extraordinarily friendly people. If you're stuck on a problem, feel free to ask someone for beta (advice on a problem). There is some etiquette involved (ie - don't ask someone who is on belay), but as long as you're humble, you will find climbers who will help you solve problems you once thought were insurmountable.

This CEO Says It's Time to Rethink Your Approach to Video Marketing
The Sinking of the USS Maine comes to mind--the Yellow Journalists egged the US into a war with Spain over an attack that never took place. Or perhaps it was a false-flag type of deal. We'll never know. The tinkering with public opinion is what is unethical, and it doesn't matter if it is the NY Times (and its owners), The Washington Post, a tv network owned by GE, a blogger, a naive college student, or whoever, it is still unethical behavior.

The media is all high and mighty about stamping out fake news while acting as the major purveyors of the same low quality, canted, and often times deliberately conjured out of whole cloth, non-information.

> the rule of law, which capitalist societies follow

I'm not so sure about that... money makes the rules, and people are easy to buy. You can't tell me there is no shady stuff going on behind the scenes. I strongly believe that the majority of rich people are doing shady things to gain more money. Of course I have no evidence, but human behavior is predictable and it's obvious what's going on.

Capitalism seems alright in theory. The problem is people and their selfishness.

And no, I'm not for communism. Again, nice in theory but won't work if run by people. I don't think I'll ever experience a truly "fair" society in my life.
If the gaming branding doesn't matter, Discord works well with large communities.

"Copyright 2017 DemandRush" - I'm always surprised when I see these types of statements on US based websites.

In Europe, this would make no sense. A website is not a legal entity, so it can not be a copyright holder.

Does the statement make more sense in the US, or is it just a common misconception among people who build websites?

The terms page says "Welcome to DemandRush, a website and online service of Grafly, Inc". So I would expect the real copyright holder is Grafly Inc?

...and that's exactly what prompted me to do it. I would hang out on hardware sites, offering free help, fixing people's firmware, doing simple hardware design and writing short programs for the fun of it.

Then I realized I could do the same thing and get paid. It's just a matter of shifting the context. You've no doubt seen any number of sites where people post sample code to help someone, but disappear if it doesn't work, or there's a minor detail left off, etc.

The only change I made is that by paying me, I guarantee you it will work and I'll be around for future changes, extension, etc. A surprising number of people are willing to pay for the assurance over just getting free help.

This is a bit of an oxymoronic sentence. How can something be both scratch resistant, while accumulating a large number of scratches?

The scratches a CD accumulates won't typically affect the ability to read from them, but that's due to the focal length of the reader, not the material.

First I absolutely love the idea, and even more the execution, of this site.

Several questions about where could this go post 1-day HN buzz:

1. How are existing solutions being presented to the ignorant "wannabuy"?

2. How is this list sorted?

3. How are duplicates managed?

4. Where is the "discussion" required to even minimally spec the ideas and bring them to a buildable form?

Overall ranking is 190 (I assume you're looking at this[1]). Ranking by subject, it is at 51 in many subjects. That's because Indian Institutions tend to neglect fields other than mainstream Tech/Science because that's all they can get funding for.

Another idea: Etsy.

Makers build things and post it to a Website and price it in some crypto currency.

People buy it by sending money to a smart contract.

A third party "oracle" is used to remit payment when the order is received. For instance the company that ships the product will signal delivery to the contract.

The company that hosted the product takes a percent of the transaction payable after the final payment goes through.

The investors in the ICO for the product get profits distributed threw the contract hosted on the same blockchain.

The host of the site gets paid from the profits based on the contract and their payment address.

Managers, marketing, developers, all staff gets paid from a piece of the profits. This is all defined in the smart contracts.

This is far away from today and simplified and with many scams in-between as well. But smart contracts on a block chain which interact and signal other contracts, etc with a block chain on a blockchain used for proof of work and payment.

A company in this form could outperform and be more efficient than one today. This is what would be useful.
>You're assuming that if the government didn't mandate health insurance, nobody would step in to help those people

No, the assumption is that if government mandated dollars stopped coming in, voluntary contributions wouldn't make up the difference. And that seems pretty obvious to anyone who pays attention to the political dialogue. Look at the Republicans who believe Obamacare is too costly. Their sole goal is to have less of their own dollars subsidize the sick.
Best i can tell, it is not about getting an end verdict. It is about having the site taken down while being investigated.

For many, the mere threat for legal wrangling is enough to scuttle them as they can't afford the outage.

There have been at least one instance of someone getting their blog domain seized by the FBI because they were using .com, even though what they were hosting were MP3s the artists themselves had asked to be distributed, and neither the server nor the author were US based. RIAA had basically raised a stink and one day the domain was redirected to a FBI warning page.
This is fine for Americans, but because of increasingly sophisticated (and bizarrely aggressive[1]) VPN detection, it's not necessarily an option to people elsewhere.

> Ehhh.... I'll refer you to George Carlin's "If you're in marketing or advertising"

Wrong comedian.
Overall, the data lines up with my own intuition, but I thought I might throw my own interpretation into the ring.

One of the biggest keys to doing well on technical interviews is to completely separate the problem solving from the coding. The strongest interviewers will discuss the problem and solve it at an abstract level using diagrams. Once satisfied with the solution, they'll code the entire thing making few mistakes.

I think this is what drives most of those metrics. Strong interviewers submit code later, and have a higher chance of it being correct because they take the time to problem solve upfront. Their thought process seems more clear because there isn't the iteration of "this should work, let me code it, oh no wait, that's wrong, let me erase this now..."
