It's unclear to me why one might want to use quantum blockchain-based money when there are reasonable proposals for blockchain-free quantum money, e.g. [1].

In any event, I didn't bother reading most of the qBitcoin paper because of things like this:

> First of all, we need to consider how to transmit a coin made of quantum information. The best way, at the present, will be to employ quantum teleportation [2, 3], which succeeds in transforming quantum information to remote places. Great benefit to use the quantum teleportation is that the quantum information cannot remain the original place, in other words, it is impossible for a transmitter to keep the original quantum data once if the quantum information is sent.

This is nonsense. It's like saying that you can transmit a file by mailing a USB stick, which absolutely guarantees that you, the sender, no longer have the original file. That's wrong -- all that mailing a USB stick guarantees is that you don't have the USB stick any more, not that you didn't keep a copy of the contents. Similarly, quantum teleportation eats the input state but says nothing about any other copies of the input state that may exist.

Nazis don't have ideas. They will jump from truth to lies as it suits them to win an argument. They do not live in the world of civil debate. Think of them as trolls from before trolls were a thing. They are not an ideology, they are a hate movement. Silencing them does not make their hate grow, they are already fundamentally about hate. They are a passion, not an ideology. Tell me what is the tax policy of a fascist? They have none, save that of whichever system they hijack en route to their only real mission, which is the elimination and persecution of their perceived enemies. We fought the worst war the world has ever seen to stop them because once they got rolling, they had to keep growing to survive. That's the nature of hate. They certainly weren't going to be stopped by debate.

From Sartre: "The anti-Semite has chosen hate because hate is a faith; at the outset he has chosen to devaluate words and reasons. How entirely at ease he feels as a result. How futile and frivolous discussions about the rights of the Jew appear to him. He has pleased himself on other ground from the beginning. If out of courtesy he consents for a moment to defend his point of view, he lends himself but does not give himself. He tries simply to project his intuitive certainty onto the plane of discourse. Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side."

It seems that America is going to insist on finding out what fascism is really about the hard way.

They've always been selective about which civil liberties count.

In fact, they sometimes like to reach beyond what counts as civil liberties into broader "social justice" issues:

There is a place in hell for people that recline in coach. The 2" of reclining doesn't help anyone's comfort that much. It's the difference between being "mostly miserable" and "pretty miserable", like the difference between lowering the air temperature in a hotel room from 79 to 78 on a summer night.

I never recline (6'1) if I have to fly coach. It's disruptive to the person behind me, either their legs or if they are trying to work on a computer. Saying "it's their right!" is just a proxy for doing the reasonable and personable thing.
TBH most men in the Valley are adult children, and always have been (looking at my mentor who's going on 70 now and was deeply involved in the early times of PC hardware). Childish behavior is hardly unexpected, and I truly do not mean any cynicism with this; it really is just a fact.

If that's the point, why does Switzerland have a lower density than the SF Bay Area but a transit system that is orders of magnitude better?

I lived in Switzerland for 9 months last year. They have arguably the best transit infrastructure in the world, with a passenger rail system that is 100% electric.

According to Wikipedia, the density of Zurich is ~4600 people/km^2. The density of San Francisco is ~7170 people/km^2. So what excuse does SF have for being so very, very much worse?

Woodford Reserve does a rye thing where they sell a pair of identical mash bill bottles, aged for the same amount of time, one in new oak and one in "used" (ex-rye). The difference is huge; they're not remotely the same whiskeys.

Meanwhile, Four Roses Single Barrel does annual releases with different "recipes", varying in mash bill and yeast strain. If you actually go to Four Roses, you can buy a bottle of every recipe. My brother did that and we did a tasting, and it is very hard to tell them apart.

I can't give you a scientific cite, but from experience: cask is a huge flavor influence. Chuck Cowdery suggests it's why indie distillers have such a hard time turning out good product (they use smaller casks, which age whiskey poorly).

Note though that expecting exactly this kind of response, I said "in a lot of cases". And, of course, I'm not saying you couldn't immediately tell the difference between a non-peated bourbon-aged barley Scotch and a corn whiskey, or the difference between a wheated bourbon and a high-rye bourbon!

My only point is: wood flavors are important to non-peated whiskey. :)

If Google were a sports team, they'd be an elite NBA basketball team that decided to go co-ed, only to find it hard to recruit enough female players over six feet six inches tall. Meanwhile, the women they did recruit grew frustrated and insecure as they had to prove themselves all the time to the men. The player who attempted to explain it all was fired.

Note that "advancing women" is a goal itself based on stereotypes: namely that any generic woman will bring diversity benefits to an organization, based on their gender alone, and not based on the content of their character.

Rather than attempting to hire candidates who who are diverse by virtue of their individuality, the goal is to hire candidates based on membership in a particular class, because each member if that class is stereotyped as being "good." That's not as ideal as evaluating each candidate's diversity based on personal attributes.

US laws do not give much protections to citizens of other countries so the American rule of law is irrelevant for them; American and Russian government agencies have equal authority to spy on them etc., though of course geopolitics makes the two far from equivalent in real-life threat analysis terms for any particular place/org. (What US citizens can count on here is a separate and I guess muddier question.)
You should think that the two are related.

If, for instance, most people here are interested not in helping the poor but in changing the balance of power ... that would result in exactly the behavior you're describing.

It has been a feature of the last 15 years or so that so-called "leftists" are electing laissez-faire leaders and

2) attack people who criticize this (usually, of course, because they are leftists)

How to Make Corkscrew Curls for Long Hair (Easy
This is going to be somewhat long and heartbreaking but I promise it will converge on an intelligent point at the end.

Every time I visit San Francisco, the heart of America's tech economy, I walk down Market Street and view dozens of adult human beings, many with traumatic brain injuries and psychological problems, living like animals, sleeping in tents, defecating directly on the ground and begging for help.

In the richest country in the world, at the very heart of the tech industry...let me repeat this again, we have scores of people living in abject poverty...exactly like animals.

After multiple viewings of this situation, I stopped looking at the homeless people and I started noticing the people walking past these individuals: Staring down at their phones, the residents of Silicon Valley have trained themselves to wear blinders to the abject, deplorable poverty of their fellow men. They are Tweeting, Facebooking, Instagramming, SnapChatting their lunch.

Solving easy problems. Making easy statements. Liking the right comments and the right posts, retweeting the appropriate social messages. So simple and easy! Click! Like! Done!

As I stood in line at one bodega, I noted the professional and skilled manner in which a white collar worker like myself standing in line completely failed to look at, respond to or acknowledge the presence of a drug addict who was begging him for change.

What a wonderful technique, I thought to myself. I had been doing it all wrong previously by even remotely acknowledging the homeless whenever they hassled me on the street. After observing this man's behavior, I adopted it. I learned: Just pretend they don't exist and they will go away.

So back to my main point:

Silicon Valley is a corrupt, horrible place that has decided it's #1 problem to be solved is the gender imbalance in software engineering. Instead of focusing on solving the clear, heart rending, abject poverty around them, the entire tech industry has collectively jammed it's head deep, far into it's own anal cavity and decided that the optimal use of all of it's social justice time should be on ensuring that highly privileged women who have attended universities and received educations which fairly guarantee that they will achieve salaries that only .01% of the entire globe will ever achieve are the most pressing concern of the moment.

Every single day I see nothing but a relentless circular pounding on this topic. Women must learn to code! Women must learn to code! Women must learn to code!

The other half of the issue is just as fun: Our #1 issue as an industry is that women who are in the very upper 0.5% of the world must earn slightly more money. About 3%-5% more money. Yes, THAT is the issue we must harp on constantly all day, every single day online.

And the people living like animals on the streets we are ignoring? Yeah, fuck them, lets teach girls to code.

America was not the first or last European colony. Mexico was a colony, Brazil was a colony with even worse racism -bad things happened and continue to happen everywhere. Slave trade continues in the middle east. Today. Read up on what Latin American colonies did to the native populations. It's not different. They didn't have confederates.

I don't see how any of that should subjugate free speech.

Murderers have free speech --I'll wager more than a few victim's families wish they did not. I believe they should still have that right.

Should we go to Japan and also try to shut down the speech of those still in support of the imperial campaign in China, one of the most atrocious incidents of all of WWii?

There's irony in defending peace with anger, so I've deleted it.

I'm reading that you feel like constructing and attacking a straw-man version of my position ;)

The thrust of the Guardian article was that freedom of speech is no longer valued at Universities in the UK, or at least, to no-where near the level it was value in the past.

Specifically, the practices that people are advocating to use against Neo-NAZIs are, right now, being used in Universities in the UK and elsewhere to shut down political dissent.

That's what I meant by 'this is already happening'.
>The key thing about the public square is interaction with the public. If all that people wanted was free speech they would just go shout in the woods. And the Internet is becoming that.

Again anyone can create their own website, nothing is limiting the exercise of their protected speech and if the speech wins in the marketplace of ideas nothing can stop it, and history has shown when speech has won in the marketplace of ideas the people who try to stop it only magnify it. Showing my age a little but look the show Married with Children, it was going to be cancelled until the politicians tried to take it off the air and then it became a hit, or when politicians tried to ban 2 Live Crew's album and they went to the Supreme Court and won, it only promoted the album/speech more. If you have a good enough idea you publish on your own website, that simultaneously all the existing platforms prohibit they are likely going to be doing you a favor in terms of promotion of your idea and your platform(website), but if its a idea that fails in the marketplace of ideas don't expect much one way or another.

As to the idea about shouting in the woods, that highlights my point just as much as yours. At some point Facebook.com was just empty woods, they bought it and made it what it is, it was never a public space, in fact in the beginning it was more restrictive limiting the people who could join to people with .edu email addresses, meaning at one point Facebook's platform was less public than it is today. And if they turned the switch back tomorrow, my opinion would be that it wouldn't be a loss of a public space because it never was a public space, it would still admittedly be a loss of some kind.

Moreover, I am just not sure these internet platforms have the ability to eliminate public spaces because they were not and never have been public spaces. Nothing, about these platforms ever guaranteed an audience for anyone's speech, in fact they are all subject to disappearing tomorrow due to competition or simply going out of business. Also, I see many alternatives to publishing speech on the internet, admittedly it may be about the same as shouting in empty woods but again even facebook at onetime was empty woods and still may as well be for many content publishers.

I wonder why it's permitted by Federal law for a corporate entity to write legal notices in such a way that is limited to, in most cases, leading the user to believe something is being asserted via highly contrived prolixity when in fact the assertion is entirely void of any substance outside of the tacit acknowledgement from the entity issuing the notice that there will be no breach of notoriously vague Federal law unless the lawyers working for the entity, who (in so many words) actually authored the notice in the first place, see a loophole through which they believe they can exonerate their client without needlessly causing their client's PR firm to work overtime especially in cases where the aforementioned lack of substance is purposefully placed over the purpose of the notice, which may be defined, but is not definitively limited to meaning, the entity will more or less use the data of the notified person, who may or may not be misled by traditionally sound intuition as well as the insubstantial notice being described to believe that his or her actions upon the entity's platform are private, as currency, thus leveraging the intimate knowledge of the disoriented, albeit notified, person to manipulate thoughts, desires, and actions (not to mention internal and external perception in general) towards any and all ends the entity dictates based on fiduciary goals and its incommensurable and entropic drive to further consolidate control of a market the entity continues to cultivate and grow beyond all reasonable proportion.
Your statement is exactly right and strengthens my argument. Switzerland has absolutely fabulous public transit while having low density. Therefore, the argument that you have to be incredibly dense to support good public transit is false.

Switzerland has excellent public transit. Therefore, if there is a density threshold to offering good public transit, an area would need to be at least less dense than Switzerland in order to argue that it isn't possible.

The SF Bay Area is denser than Switzerland. Therefore, the reasons for not having good transit are not to do with density, but with something else (politics, zoning, public support, etc.). But density is not the issue.
