that's the whole point I'm trying to make! goddamit stop working on assumption and hypothetical thinking I'm a lunatic, this is a real issue and the actual way firefox works, how do you think all password manager work?

No. I think this is where your logic is off: "Furthermore, I think that if I try to read an entangled state, it's as if I am reading the entire state all at once"

You can't read the entire state. A quantum channel where you send n-bits lets you read n-bits, not exponential in n-bits.

There is indeed reduction of signal as you increase temperature. Under the error correction theorem, you can amplify that signal back to full strength as long as you are under a threshold temperature (but with ever-increasing resources as you approach the threshold temperature.)

Also this: "This is going to generate heat, and the rate at which I can dissipate that heat is bounded by the speed of light". Sure, the heat has to be transferred out of the system, which takes time that is bounded by some distance divided by the speed of light. But the qubit is on a 2D chip surrounded by a 3D refrigerator. The distance doesn't necessarily increase with increasing qubits.

The canopy was thickly coated with ice. When you're blind you can't VFR. They couldn't use ice-obstructed instruments either, so a rapid descent would have endangered their plane and other aircraft. They did the right thing, suffering frostbite and cooperating with ground control to preserve life and property.
The database course I took covered that a bit. We used https://www.amazon.com/Database-Management-Systems-Raghu-Ram.... It's not the most up-to-date text (although it was when I was in school), but it's probably still the best source for the basics of relational database theory and implementation.
It's funny, I thought that was one of the better ones. Because Ron Miscavige seemingly is trying to avoid all responsibility, and Joe pushes back on this several times. That episode in particular sticks out to me where Joe asks difficult questions which elevate the interview

So how exactly is this news? You go to a border crossing without ID, you're going to get detained until they figure out who you are. They're not just going to take your work for it that you 'left your id at home'. It also sounds like he ended up talking to the same people that process people actually crossing which makes this even more tricky. How is that person supposed to know the guy didn't get off a bus (which stop there and people go inside the building) and is just saying something to get past them?

You can already do that with https://github.com/eraeco/party.lol (Open Source extension)!

It hijacks input/comment areas & saves your tweet/post to your own personal local archive in the browser, and then encrypts the message so Facebook/Google can't spy on it.
I agree that advertising as a business model incentivizes bad things, but as for censorship the only things I'm aware of advertisers aggressively rejecting are things like Naziism and its relatives.

This is because advertisers don't want to alienate vast populations of people. They don't want stuff like "blacks and women are intellectually inferior, brought to you by Coca Cola!"

I see mainstream ads in "fringe" content of a variety of types, so they don't seem to care much about things being off-beat or strange. They don't seem to care about indirectly sponsoring UFO videos or fringe views of history that aren't transparent efforts to dehumanize people.
Do you have any sources that elaborate on your claims of IBM being misleading?
> People who want to block all ads can opt into that with a Firefox ad-blocking extension

Except on iOS, where you have to finagle with VPN-based blockers

> because as a Chromium browser it's a part of that hegemony

I'm well aware. I'd rather use (and recommend to less techy people) Firefox, but I can't with their current stance. People want/need adblocking but they also want sync. If Firefox had an ad-blocking toggle that was off by default that'd be fine by me.
Also even if you do plan to re-implement the C library in Rust it's still a good idea to do this step (make a safe wrapper around the FFI bindings) first. It lets you set up your Rust test cases, and gives you a step to design what the Rust API will look like. You can proceed to pull bits of the C out and into native Rust, all while whatever you've built on top doesn't have to change.
I said "Each of those are basically ads for paid products." OneDrive and Office 365 do fully autoinstall, and if it's impossible for a layman to differentiate between an ad and a native app, I consider it at least partially autoinstalled.

Just saw this! As Aaronson mentions, coupled with the IBM work, if it does work out, it should be possible to verify that the 53-bit samples are actually valid through the cross entropy test, which would be very exciting.

Glad they are using stock watches. Usually when something goes through the usual procurement channels you will get a watch that took ten years to develop and costs 100k each.
Well, we do know that the best intentions around the browsers technology have paved the way to hell.

Some of the other issues that crop up are:

* Sites "adding" increased security mentions to their customers by profiling their connected bluetooth devices
* Is the browser only able to see connected devices and not the master list of devices?
* Bluetooth devices come in such a wide array of formats that I wouldn't want to ever offer the browser access to these tech (it's clunky enough through the OS most of the time) Last time I let this site access my devices and now it's watching me
* All those other options you listed below in another reply, are all high susceptible to a man in the middle attack, and all the sudden your headphones have been turned into a weapon, all because you clicked a link.
* Getting your laptop's battery drained even more because of some nefarious website preventing your devices from sleeping

I feel like we need to build a pretty big moat around USB devices and Bluetooth devices, as they're often the easiest points of entry that can lead to further system compromise.
> I don't have site bookmarks on my home screen

But many people do. I have a couple of shortcuts to common pages on my phone's home screen (well, a folder there on) just as I have shortcuts to certain files that I regularly interact with on the device instead of going to the app and manually opening them from there.

> sounds like something that should be an actual app, installed from a trusted source

Why, when it isn't doing anything the web app can do anyway. LocalStorage isn't a PWA-only feature, nor is notifications, and both have a least some gates to access (LocalStorage should limit the amount stored, prompting the user as a soft quota is reached as well as having a hard quota, and sandbox sites from each other, notifications asking for permission before they are enabled). I assume other features like bluetooth access are similarly gated, so there is no less protection than found in app store apps.

Why make me install an app on my phone as well as using the site on desktop/laptop, and make the developers write both, when the website based application can perform both roles?

There are sensitive permissions that I wouldn't want to grant a PWA (access to my contacts for instance, access to other apps files) of course, not being able to be globally disabled if found to be malicious as is possible with an app-store based install makes that more dangerous. But with careful control PWAs can be very useful without being any more problematical than any other web app.
What I found more interesting from other comments on this thread is that you don't have to be crossing a border, just within 100 miles of one, to be harassed in a way that would seem unconstitutional. The "65% of the population" living in this border zone area really struck me as a serious overreach. If you live in nearly every major US city you're susceptible to what OP went through it seems.
I switched to the AOSP keyboard because SwiftKey kept getting worse the more it learned (it always became usable again after deleting everything).
They mention Cellebrite because they share specific stats on how much data they can copy off a device in a given time. It's essentially used as a source for the end of the paragraph where they explain why it matters that CBP had their phones for that period.
Never attribute stupidity to that which is adequately explained by self-interest.

It's extremely convenient that Google had an oopsie that's entirely aligned with their own interests.
org-mode. Sync with git over SSH. Been using it for over a decade.

Not exclusive to personal knowledge base, but I keep a lot of notes in there because it's my default catch-all, including on the phone since I have Termux installed. It's easily greppable.
In general, you can bring a watch but not a phone in some areas. An aviation friendly watch does a nice job of being visible (bonus visible in the dark) as a watch. Bonus as a timer. Extra bonus if it can give you zulu time with current time, as that is asked frequently.
I think the argument is that without the launcher, if the game is pulled then the customer gets no more updates, has no access to DLC, etc.

Hey there. I'm working on this, at my usual agonizingly slow pace. But it's a project!
The first iPhone lacked many features, but it was the best phone at the time for usability. It had massive hype in the press that was probably overblown. But its features were head and shoulders above others at the time.

The simple act of making a call was so much easier and efficient, even though it lacked cut and paste.

Comparing it to feature phones is really curious because they were completely different markets. I don’t think it’s very useful in describing the iPhone’s success to point out individuals features that were also available in various existing phones.
"Twin studies of adult individuals have found a heritability of IQ between 57% and 73%[6] with the most recent studies showing heritability for IQ as high as 80%[7] and 86%.[8]. IQ goes from being weakly correlated with genetics, for children, to being strongly correlated with genetics for late teens and adults. The heritability of IQ increases with age and reaches an asymptote at 18–20 years of age and continues at that level well into adulthood. This phenomenon is known as the Wilson Effect.[9] Recent studies suggest that family and parenting characteristics are not significant contributors to variation in IQ scores;[10] however, poor prenatal environment, malnutrition and disease can have deleterious effects."

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_IQ

This is not "some researchers" who hold the opinion that IQ has a strong component, it is literally the entire field of behavioral genetics (basically the only field that seriously studies the genetic basis of human behavior and psychology).

Regarding how long it takes for significant evolution to occur: human generations have historically been about 20 years long, which makes 1000 years about 50 generations. As a point of reference, humans have created entire new breeds of domesticated animals in as short as 50 years (a similar number of generations). Darwin has several examples in The Origin of Species and a Russian scientist bred tame foxes in about the same amount of time. The speed of evolution is dependent on a lot of factors, but on its face, the idea that groups of humans facing different selection pressures would not somehow differentiate is silly (and they clearly have; that's why you can look at someone and have a pretty good idea of what part of the world their ancestors come from). But for a more concrete example of a shorter time period, the Han Chinese have been rice farmers for several thousand years, whereas African pygmies have been foragers and hunter-gatherers during that same time. Both groups would face significantly different selection pressures. Hunting and foraging skills would be essentially useless to rice farmers and a propensity toward uncontrolled violence would likely get them killed by a local ruler trying to maintain peace among his tax base. Hunter-gatherers would have no use for the ability to keep accounting records or a class of women made economically unproductive via the practice of foot binding.

>No matter what interpretation you use, the experimental measurement results are the same

Sorry, no. Bell experiments do produce different measurements for different interpretations thus ruling one of them true. As it stands now they seems to confirm Copenhagen for pretty much everyone.
Most Garmin watches use transflective displays (different from LCD) and are generally rated to operate down to -20ºC.
Regardless of whether the Martinis team actually demonstrated quantum supremacy, their achievement is undoubtedly worth the praise it received. I built and operated a superconducting two-qubit processor for my PhD thesis in 2010, so I have a good understanding of the challenges invovled in operating and tuning qubits. For me, seeing the 53 qubit chip, its wiring setup and the control electronics is just breathtaking.

I think John's team neatly demonstrated that they are far ahead of the competition (e.g. Rigetti, IBM) in terms of maturity and qubit control, and if that's any indication of future success I would strongly bet on their team for building the first actually working quantum computer.
So do I. I think if Apple had a default screensaver/lockscreen image server and every now and then showed a photo of the new Apple Watch or something, the Apple people would oooh and aaaah over how amazing it was.

I run Windows 10 (pro) with nearly all the default settings. It took me a while to even realize what these "ads" were that people were complaining about. A free game that gets included with the OS! That's it.
No, the bound is not on the performance of the sorting algorithm, but rather on the minimum number of comparisons required
Funnily enough, something similar has been done with neural networks "physical-ized" in special glass panes.

Is there really anything simple about “running the media”?
I'm reminded of a clip from the movie Moneyball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTjhHrcyiQI

I really like your suggestion that someone check in with the person in a couple days. That helps address the charitable desire without compromising the need for performance at work.
This is a tangent, but is there a good keyboard app for Android that doesn't have emoji? I'm tired of hitting the emoji button accidentally and having emoji show up in autocomplete.
They need the world’s most powerful supercomputer to do that, and it may not be available for them to use.
It has been my experience that outdated, overly specific, or incorrect terminology tends to make its way into computer science and IT-related learning material and its corresponding test question banks.

This learning material often happens to be drafted and paid for by technology companies but it seems as though little effort is spent in revising, verifying, and properly typesetting the material in question, to the chagrin of the students.
I believe that you'll have to go through an external, to Google, audit of you GSuite integration. It's a new requirement and can typically cost in the $X0,000 range.

My understanding is that too many people were abusing the system and they had to put tougher acceptance processes in place to protect their users.
This narrative repeats with every release.

But is each release actually worse than the last?

My guess is, not really, though the perception persists for a couple main reasons:

(1) For a certain subset of people, the last release really was worse than ever before. New releases have new bugs, and those bugs will affect a certain subset of people that isn't necessarily the same as the bug from the last release. Those people complain (justifiably, I think) though of course people don't create a lot of posts to describe the problems they aren't having.

(2) We all naturally forget about the annoyances of years past while focusing on the current annoyances. (Generally, that is.)
On how we have far too much confidence explaining what just happened
Multitasking was in the OS, just not available to web sites and app developers.

Jail broken apps had multitasking like screen sharing, WiFi hot spotting and lots of other stuff.

It’s a big deal for an OS that doesn’t have multitasking vs doesn’t allow app developers to use.
Still, the most badass Garmin ad is the photo of GPSMAP mounted in the cockpit of the Russian SU-24, while it flies close to the NATO's airspace without transponder switched on.
I live in suburban DC too; this place is terrible for cycling. I pretty much only ride on the trails (usually W&OD, also Custis and Mt. Vernon) because they're safe.

With the loss of visibility, descent to an altitude below the freezing-level may not have been possible.

The crew returned to NAS Whidbey, which meant that they had to overfly Washington's Cascade Mountains. The freezing level that day was 7,000 feet or less [1], and some of the mountains are taller than that (many near 7k, a big one reaches 10.5k, and Rainier is 14.4k). It also appears to have been cloudy over the mountains from about noon onward.

There is a pretty good chance that they were blind until they were sure they were back in the Puget Sound region. I'll bet they descended as soon as they could.

I’d say it is the other way around. The ACLU is an example:

1. Google didn't say that the reason for the rating was IAP and instead pointed to something that is common between that app and Gboard.

2. Other keyboard apps have IAP but still have an E rating: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gingersoft...

I find it very unlikely that Google is intentionally picking on this small app, but by being more lenient in reviewing its own apps, Google is abusing its position.
> Storage is not part of the CPU.

It kind of is. People often call the box with the motherboard, etc. the CPU.[1][2] That's how the basic parts of a computer were taught to me too when I was a kid. The basic parts of a computer are a "CPU", a "Monitor", a "Keyboard", and a "Mouse". Some time later, when I was taught the parts of a "CPU", it was a "Processor", a "Hard Drive", a "Case", etc. I suppose not everyone used the same nomenclature everywhere.

It still seems like a standard hasn't been reached. Around where I'm at, people call that thinking box the "CPU", and right now, when looking for diagrams, I see some call it the "Tower", the "Case", the "System Unit", the "Computer", etc.

[1] https://i2.wp.com/www.informationq.com/wp-content/uploads/20...

[2] https://ecdn.teacherspayteachers.com/thumbitem/Parts-of-a-Co...

EDIT: Are the downvotes because people don't believe this is how parts of the computer were taught in some places before the internet became more popular? It makes sense to me that this is the reason why main storage being inside the CPU made it into dictionaries.

To me, "CPU" is an ambiguous term. It could either mean the whole case with the electronics inside, or it could be the main Processor in the motherboard.
