Yes, as long as you can achieve a complete gate set (over some N-qubit logical subspace) by arranging the atoms, and as long as the computation and read-out is reliable enough to get results, I think that's literally what it means to build a computer. (To formalize this, more needs to be said in terms of what the gate set is and how reliable it needs to be, but I think that's the basic idea.)
Considering what cancer is and the advances we made in a very short time in treating it, I'd say it is overwhelmingly probable that it will be completely non-fatal at some point in the future.

This article is also rather misleading: it does not claim that cancer will never be fully treatable but rather that cancer will always exists: "cure for cancer" as in people will never get cancer anymore.
I have no problem or strong opinion regarding iPhone 4's antenna debacle, I'm only referencing what has happened in the past about issues hyped by the media, and how Apple has handled them.

iPhone 4/4s remain my favorite iPhone generations to date.
This logic is flawed because not all environmental issues are the same priority.

If you believe climate change is the biggest environmental issue, batteries could be significantly "dirtier" overall than alternatives as long as they contribute less to C02.
I'm not keen on the Bay Area anyway but I'll keep that in mind when moving.

Also not surprised about ride share drivers. A few months ago I had one try to attack me with a screwdriver! Helmet cam video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trSB3mK78bs (I believe the guy has been arrested now, not sure though as he might have skipped town.)

(Yes, I've heard that I should not confront drivers, but I think on a whole me doing so has led to greater understanding between cyclists and drivers. In this case the Uber driver nearly hit me head on, probably because they were distracted. If anyone thinks I was rude to the driver in any way, I'm interested in learning why.)

Right now I'm in Austin but don't intend to stay here long term. While people say driving is terrible everywhere, some places are worse. In Texas drunk driving is basically socially acceptable, plus you have people driving huge trucks, often with frivolous "grille guards" that would butcher any pedestrian or cyclist hit by them.
Yes, China is probably outspending the US in AI–but not on defense
Isn't this the definition of a kickback?
This is not true. There are specific areas that ban it and have signage alerting drivers to that fact, but it is not common.

Plus, it typically only applies to Semis as their engine braking is especially noisy. On a typical gas powered sedan you would be hard pressed to identify that someone is engine braking unless you were right next to it. Being prosecuted for it would be even more exceptional.
Facebook and Google literally targeted kids to install enterprise profiles so they could VPN and spy on all their traffic.
That's disingenuous. Obviously the echo is capable of far more than purchasing things from amazon. I'd guess that most echo users don't actually ever use voice purchasing.
Scary thoughts. More people are moving to Brave, which is great.
We can afford those things perfectly well—we just choose not to.
sshd is mentioned (1.5) exactly because sshd did catch this and refused login. So no, no remote exploit in the default install.

McKinsey Statement on NYT and ProPublica Article Regarding ICE and CBP

40 * 4 * 9.50 = $1520

370/1520 = 25% of your GROSS income to stay alive. She doesn't pay $370 a month in taxes, and the tax credit doesn't come out of Social Security tax, which is her largest tax.
I have one server in the center of every major population cluster; Taiwan, Iowa and Belgium, in order to self host those I would need a apartment/building with >1GB internet in all those places.
I think it's a pretty natural idea. According to Brian Kernighan's memoir, the original vision for pipes was more like a mesh than the omnidirectional flow we ended up with:

"Doug wanted to allow arbitrary connections in a sort of mesh of programs, but it was not obvious how to describe an unconstrained graph in a natural way, and there were semantic problems as well: data that flowed between programs would have to be queued properly, and queues could explode in an anarchic connection of programs. And Ken couldn't think of any real applications anyway."

My first thought when reading over the docs for dgsh is always something similar...what's the real application? What does it gain me other than some mathematical elegance that I don't lose in harder to read scripts? The examples all pretty much collapse to doing things in parallel and collecting them via cat, which seems a little basic for something as abstract as a DAG.

It depends on the company, and how much "power" you have as a PM to influence/push process, but I find that even causing a majority on-site company operate as if they are fully remote is almost always a universal good.

Writing things down and having documented (and followed) processes is good! And helps with onboarding as your knowledge-base grows, and (in my experience) costs a lot less that not everybody being around the watercooler when "that" conversation happened.
I just look at laws and how they’re set up now; and I just can’t imagine the legislature actually doing what you want.
Well for that specific case, you'd need your Dad's passcode to install the enterprise cert. But "Facebook Research" is a thing that happened.

I think there's more that could be done to make the process unappealing. What if the setting erased all data on the phone, a la unlocking the bootloader on Android? What if there was a one-week time delay before the setting took effect? What if you had to visit an Apple Store?

(I don't like that last option, because it makes research inaccessible to e.g. people in countries without Apple Stores. But it would be better than what we have now.)
As an iPhone user I find AMP to be painfully buggy. Rotation doesn't work properly, the URL bar doesn't hide properly, reader mode is routinely broken, pinch to zoom doesn't work, etc. I wish I could disable it.
If you’re referring to that Huffpost article from a few years ago, that got pulled because their math was faulty. It was based on assumptions about costs that weren’t rooted in reality, namely that the ingredients were the largest expense in the cost of the food. It’s not, it’s actually the labor, which is why increasing the employee wages has a disproportionate impact on the cost of the menu items.
The answer might turn out to be that it makes bicyclists less safe.

A couple of years ago I moved to a place with extensive bike lanes and other bike-friendly signage, road features, etc. Sounds awesome. But I've noticed that it significantly adds to the mental load of driving here. I'm an unusually conscientious driver, and I often encounter the feeling of hitting my multitasking ceiling at intersections, partly due to the bicycle-friendly increase in complexity. I suspect that many less careful blow through that ceiling without realizing it.

I'd like to see the question studied.
I know. I was being a little snarky, but I'm also trying to make a point.

The problem is that one of the (most commonly accepted, if not official) meanings of "real-time" is a system that guarantees response within a specific time period. Usually this is a pretty small time period. So also using the term to refer to systems where there is actually no limit on the response time creates a problem.

If we allow "real-time" to be used to represent anything interactive, then how can we make clear when we're actually talking about a real-time system? Really real-time? Legit real-time?
I really wish content servers considered that before letting all their sites become ad laden wastelands.

The web infrastructure we have today can respond to pages blindly fast if proper optimization is done, bloated front end frameworks and malvertising counter all of that to draw it down to molasses speeds - and the "I want to server my stuff to my users" argument is only valid if it's to extracting ad revenue from them - I think it's just time to reeducate people on the fact that ads may subsidize content but they can't fully sponsor it outside of niche situations.
Google’s Third Era
To play the angel's advocate (or whatever is the next-step reverse of devil's advocate): natural selection helps eliminate problematic genes in populations. A good chunk of harmful mutations will prevent people from procreating, either by killing them first, or making it unlikely for them to find a mate.

I get the impression some of the commenters don't really have experience with government contracts on either the public or private side.

The IG report points out real problems, but I think people are extrapolating too far because they don't truly understand how contracts are awarded via the GSA schedule. I think people are confusing being awarded a listing on a GSA schedule with an actual order. Being on the GSA schedule just means is there is an agreed upon price for a product or service. An agency still needs to chose that product or service before any money changes hands.

The GSA essentially produces a catalogue of products and services. Like the article mentions, it seems like the GSA allowed McKinsey to name their price and that is, as the article says, "honest graft". The article also implies other contractors are also listed, although they don't get similar preferential price treatment. So the GSA isn't down-selecting the number of "items" listed in the "catalogue" to force agencies into selecting the expensive McKinsey. It's just inflating the price of one item. What isn't covered is why agencies are selecting the more expensive item. To me, that is where the real corruption would be.

To play devil's advocate, the whole IG issue could potentially be attributed to a bad contracting supervisor who reassigned the contracting officer who was fighting against the price increase. The fact that the other companies were denied similar price increases indicates to me that it's not a cultural issue of "honest graft".
I've stopped caring about anything related to a permanent handle. Say what you need to say with anonymous accounts. Turns out it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

My larger point is that the formula for improving your situation isn't that hard. You may endure hardship on your path, but for many it is within reach.
There are a lot of monads that don't deal with async code or error handling: Reader, Writer, State, Conduit, Parsec, etc.
This is smart, would love if it got smart enough to analyze .dockerignore files, and (if you're analyzing our code with the rest of your tool anyway) you could find large files/directories that we COPY/ADD and don't need

Yeah, there's been cases where "This light means the webcam is active" and "This hardware switch toggles the WiFi on and off" were overridable.

Well, then again, I don't want an Alexa or Google Home, but I don't mind having an always-on Android phone with a microphone and 2 cameras...
If you look at entry-level consultant salaries at McKinsey and then divide by the fact that they're often working 7-day, 100-hour workweeks... you'll quickly discover that your "23 year old snot" is actually making around minimum wage on an hourly basis. They could be flipping burgers instead with a lot less stress.

The consultants aren't the ones taking the money home, the firm is. So don't blame the 23 year old. He or she is honestly just doing their insane best to pay off their huge student loans.

Doing a thing and then offering a service or agreement to undo the thing is not the same as never doing a thing and is usually a pretty clear signal of some underhanded doingness.
The fact that you’re having to clarify your points to everybody means your wording implied otherwise.
It is the right gene; it's allegedly not the right allele.
The cooking machines are nearly automatic already. They are all designed to accept input and produce output without human action in between. I want to create an automated pizza shop, and have made some mock ups. I don't think it's as hard as you mention.
Because the points are made up and comments are a lousy signal of prestige. It's much better to make something and let the work speak for itself.

A New Search Engine
I worked as a management consultant. When my firm billed my time out at ~$10K/day and paid me ~$150K/yr (a ratio of ~20:1), I didn't feel exploited. That ~$10K/day covered way more than just my time.

Here's what that billing had to cover:

* My normal work hours [the thing we billed for]

* My overtime hours

* My annual bonus

* My benefits & retirement savings & overhead & employer-side taxes

* My time spent on business development & sales (most of which don't pan out)

* My time spent on discounted or free projects performed to seed future sales

* My time spent in training & development (probably ~4 weeks in the first year)

* The time of managers spent training & developing me

* My support staff (industry analysts, Powerpoint designers, internal experts)

* Multi-million-dollar IT investments to build tools and databases to support me in my work

* A couple first-class flights a week

* A few nights a week at expensive hotels

* Lyfts & Ubers everywhere

* All meals expensed

* The firm's partners working the case

* New employees for whom we don't bill

* Fees for market reports

* Fees for expert interviews with industry executives (in some cases we'd do dozens of interviews a week, paying ~$1K/hr each)

* Office overhead (rent, power, insurance, etc.)

* Office support staff (HR, finance, janitors, etc.)

* Profits for the firm's equity holders

(Now a few of these expenses were billed separately I believe, but it shows the wide breadth of costs that a firm has to cover.)

None of this opportunity would have existed without the firm, the network, the brand, and the partners. It's amazing to think that all I had to do was show up and work, and in exchange, I would get paid a high salary, get experience working with senior executives, get a prestigious brand on my resume, and accelerate my career relative to most career tracks. I don't regret the job, nor do I think it's surprising that there are crowds knocking on the door trying to get in.

Looking at other industries, I wouldn't be surprised if a cashier at a grocery store made less than 5% of what they put in the register each day. And I wouldn't be surprised if a oil driller got paid 5% of oil that they extracted each day. Even if we're the ones touching the revenue, we're still a small part of what it takes to run a big business.

Could someone explain to me why using a react app built using CRA is bad in this case? I have a similar use case where the app is on app.example.com (built using CRA) and I have a landing page (also built using CRA) on example.com

The landing page links to:
- The App at app.example.com
- Docs at docs.example.com
- Blog at blog.example.com

I have 0 front-end experience so this is an honest attempt at understanding why I should NOT be using the CRA for a landing page.

The landing page isn't doing much so its a very simple react app. But don't understand the implications on SEO

FWIW, the article says she has no benefits like that.
You've already been dunked on by plenty of other people, but I don't think they did a good job of explaining why you are wrong.

The USA has a labour shortage problem. There aren't enough people that want to spend their lives picking fruit, doing maid services, working fast food, and just generally taking care of all the problems that wealthier people pay to have taken care of.

You can pay immigrants rock bottom wages to do this work, which is the status quo in the USA today. They accept it because it comes with the promise of a better life one day. If not for them, then for their children.

If you want to send all those people packing, then get ready to pay $10 for a tomato. No, robots aren't going to help, either.
I can’t handle the level of repetition. You read one chapter and you’ve read the entire book. It could literally just be a bumper sticker - ‘real leaders eat last’ - ok got your thesis

Since you're race-baiting anyway, illegal immigrants cost the country about 50 billion a year. This isn't felt at the state level because the funds come from the federal government. You're doing the same lazy math California does when it talks about how much it contributes while ignoring how much it was receiving from Federal SALT deductions.
There's a huge difference between somatic and germline editing. Surgery is like somatic editing. It's elective, based on medical need, and its effects are confined to one individual. Germline editing is more like forcing an entire population to undergo surgery that is claimed to enhance their bodies.

Nobody is particularly concerned about somatic editing where a medical need exists. Everybody is rightly freaking out about germline editing because it's non-elective for the babies, its consequences are permanent and can be severe, and we aren't good enough at it yet (not even the somatic variety) to claim anything about its safety.
I've installed fathom and self-hosted it. Seems to work pretty well.
I don't know that I'd agree with that. Look at the computer industry, for a example, and how many small, medium, and large agents all benefit from what amounts to a distributed economy of scale. Apple, Microsoft, Dell and the like all produce better products with less investment when their suppliers can spend fewer dollars per widget throughout the supply chain.

2. Structure, Structure, Structure will bring back huge focus spans to the point where you wake up from deep sleep and write code solutions...the first time it happens you will be shocked!
3. If not meds of if even meds make sure to re-adjust to more healthy diet...ie high tyrosine foods as tyrosine is what is the building block to dopamine which well lack . ANd actually lower doses of caffeine combined with high vitamin b works out better. Not sure why yet.
4. Exercise daily..no not 5 minutes a good healthy hour or so...I do sit-ups, small weights and jogging.
5. Be aware of your addictions and limit them

Oh yeah, the benefits...would you believe it makes you a better UI designer as you know what structures to get a user to focus on doing something? At least for me it did and I even did a deep dive in cognitive science research because of it.

Let me put it this way: In the 1980s, religion, the stereotypical implementation of irrationality, was still a lot more prevalent and influential in society than it is now.

But, as religious people do, he makes everything into its opposite: Oppressing people's identity and desires is (sexual) morality, believing unfounded superstitions is rationality, and large parts of society being culturally oppressed is a sign of cultural flourishing.
Meanwhile those ordering kiosks still require about the same amount of cashier staff as before since they are such a terrible and confusing experience to use. Just another reason to not go to mcdonalds I guess
The 401K administrators wouldn't allow this scheme of yours to be feasible. When you open a 401K account and start contributing to it, you can't just keep withdrawing from it at regular intervals like you suggest. At most you can make a one time loan against a balance that exists in your account if you want to keep using the account without closing it. You have to pay this loan amount back with interest--you're paying yourself back with interest, but still when you're in poverty paying anything back in excess of what you started out with is just another hardship.

If you opt to take a loan against your 401K, then you will be required to re-pay back the loaned amount through regular paycheck deductions until it is paid back, and you aren't permitted to take another loan until this first loan is repaid in full. Furthermore, a number of 401K plans that have employer matching typically have some form vesting requirements before those funds can be accessed; often a year or more.

Regardless, in this scheme withdrawing any amount (i.e. making a loan and not repaying that loan, or withdrawing funds and closing the account) will end up losing her money in the end given that McDonald's is only matching up to 7% while withdrawing early from the account incurs a mandatory 10% early withdrawal fee that 401K administrators are required to levy and report to the IRS.
I was basing it on the other meals, which were on the order of $11-13. A Big Mac meal isn’t $5.99 where I live so the gap feels larger to me.

Either way, I think that the assertion of “this thing worked over there so it will work the same way here” is overly optimistic. But ultimately I don’t much care - I rarely eat there, so if McDonald’s got very expensive or went out of business, it wouldn’t have much impact on my life. If they want to unionize, more power to them.

I’m not a fan of unions overall. I recognize that they’ve done some good things, but the people I’ve known who were in unions or worked in union shops don’t describe places that I’d want to work in.
