For some founders & entrepreneurs, it forces them to work smarter - not necessarily harder - and that's the goal, to figure out what isn't working right and change it to reduce/eliminate the anxiety caused by an under-performing startup.

Title of the post is misleading: The newly-funded centers will address three different topics in the field of Quantum Information Science (QIS).

Quantum computing (the integer-factoring kind) is the focus of only the UC Berkeley-led consortium. This effort accounts for 1/3 of the announced funding.

The other two centers will work on Quantum networking (UIUC) and Quantum sensing (U Colorado).

Original NSF announcement:

https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/announcements/07212...
> I've only heard about how they are able to break certain cryptographical algorithms that were designed long before quantum was even a thought.

Just thought I'd mention, quantum computer design started in the early 1980s, and many of the theoretical results came through quite a while ago.

What's happening now is the investment and funding landscape has changed considerably.
Well if you want to make the argument that attachment theory is junk then you should provide some evidence.
Sorry that hurts your feelings but white households are much more rich than black households. According to the federal reserve, both mean and median net worth of black families are under 15% of the mean and median net worth of white families: https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/rece...

If you force start ups founders into dire financials situations, those who can afford it are way more likely to be white than black. That's why 75% of start up founders are white. Still not sure how skin color has to do with the topic?
> Granted that also implies that folks who aren't good at in person classes may have been lost for decades already.

For what it's worth, I probably went to about 10% of my classes in college and I got a great education (CS+math) from a combination of the course materials, exams, and working with other students.
> it's more be'efitial to have flat rent that doesn't price peoplenout of living in certain cities simly due to housing rates. housing is an essential service.

All first-class letters of 1 oz or less are identical. Housing is not identical, which is why it’s fine to have varying prices for housing. Many places have rent controls in place. The utility of having flat rate letter postage for every citizen outweighs any benefit realized from privatization.

> taking money from people paying high rent to subsidize farmers is not 'benefitial' to people living in cities.

This has been done for quite a while in the US, as crop subsidy payments. People in cities benefit by having stable food prices.

> it's not benefitial to me to pay for a farmer getting fifty junk mail catalogs a week.

You’re not paying for it, hope that helps.

"In August 2020, LEGO will release the LEGO Technic set “42113 Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey”. This is a model of a military vehicle that is deployed in ongoing armed conflicts. For this set, your company cooperates with Boeing and Bell. In 2018, Boeing sold military equipment worth of US-Dollar 29.15 billion; it is the second largest arms manufacturer in the world. Bell is number 27th of the world.

Due to the deployment of this military aircraft all around the world, innumerable civilians were killed. That is why parents, LEGO customers and brick fans disapprove of the vehicle’s replication.

Companies that produce weapons, which in many countries of the world cause human suffering and death, should not be cooperating with LEGO. Because of this, you stopped LEGO’s cooperation with the controversial oil company Shell in 2014. With the new set, you violate your own company’s basic principles.

We urge you to stop the cooperation with Boeing und Bell and not to produce any further modern military vehicles."

This sound very reasonable to me.

The review process has a human factor in it IMO. I’ve seen many designs get scratched just because “this should be done and designed by Team B rather than you”. Problem is that could come late. Sometimes it could be a career development bummer for the engineers who invest a lot into the design.

The thing is that there are more prosport athletes hired each year than there are new professor slots in most disciplines. There are probably 3-5 new players on each NBA team each year which amounts to 75-150 people taken from the draft. Most academic disciplines have only a few dozen slots available each year.
The depth & flexibility in many of these libraries is quite extraordinary.

Totally agree with the Wordpress example, however, I'd argue that more products & applications should attempt to be build upon known primitives to reduce cognitive overload for both the building team and the end users.

My understanding of it is that much of the money is supposed to be for Google and Facebook ads - something which I would never want to have to pay out of pocket for in the US market. So it's not just that the founders can pay themselves a ramen salary or better, but that there's a big early marketing budget built-in.
In the large classes you still need to have tutorials, this time led by the TAs. On-line TA herding is difficult, I don't envy anyone who is doing this right now. There's also the hallway track, students organizing themselves into study groups and interest groups. Doing that on-line is quite impossible, how do you have random encounters after class?

And one out of seven is a true positive, whereas overall 1 in 123 people developed cancer. So a positive result on this test still means you are 17.5x more likely to develop cancer than the average person in this group if they were never tested.

It's weird to pretend like this is not significant new information, which has the potential save lives. Whether or not we have an acceptably safe way today to act on this early information is a separate question, this is one more tool that can be used in improving treatments.

Ask HN: Getting depressed about money. How do I make a meaningful amount “fast”?
I am a software developer and like the company I work for. I am smart and capable but have few connections. I have a family and several people rely on my relatively high income so I can't drop everything and do a startup. I live in a place where cost of living is obscene and I have no option to move due to family. I am (finally) debt free, but projecting the rest of my life, I will be able to retire at 72-75. I want to get our early.

Every day I watch people get stupid rich. I know the startup route and have done that a couple of times, though the products didn't take to their markets. I've tried stock trading, crypto trading, investment, small businesses, various passive income schemes, etc. None of this seems to return any decent investment. My portfolio can give me a solid 6-8% a year return, but unless I already have a couple of million to gamble it will still mean a slow and steady investment over decades which still lands me at a ridiculously old age before it's enough.

Every day places like Softbank are giving away obscene amounts of money to mundane or straight up bad ideas. Banks and the government are moving unfathomable amounts of cash around, a bunch of which ends up disappearing to corruption. Bezos just made $13b in a single day during one of the worst economies of recent history. There is plenty of wealth out there to be had, but how to get a slice of it?

I am tired and losing hope. Even though I'm better off than most I am still struggling to support everyone who depends on me. I want to get rich and I no longer care about how (as long as it isn't illegal, completely unethical, and does not endanger anyone's life or health). I am not afraid of working hard and when I pick up a project I work on it obsessively until it's done and done right, but it feels like I am panning for pennies in a puddle. What is the best way to get a large slice of a large pie without abandoning everyone who is dear to me for several years?
But.. why? It's a great piece of engineering and it looks cool! I couldn't have cared less if it was used by the military when I was a kid and I sure don't care now.

I honestly don't understand what's the point of these campaigns - it's not like much will change about armed conflicts just because you hide it from retail shelves...
I think this looks like a good way to teach a teen using minecraft. It is windows 10 based though, and doesn't look to use an actual programming language, but does provide a good way of learning the fundamentals that most languages do have.
https://makecode.com/blog/minecraft/10-18-2017
After they make it through that you could transition them to learning java and making minecraft mods which should be interesting enough. Personally, I think having access to google/stack overflow is a must when learning a language, not being able to ask or find answers to questions can be a huge turn off for newer programmers and may make them want to give up.

Sweden made a contrarian bet: that hospitals won't be flooded, and a few less ambitious measures that people will tolerate for a longer time is better than a large list of freedom destroying measures that can only lead to riots if imposed for too long (depending on the countries, you had things like lockdown at home, with only shopping on some days depending on the last digit of your social security, or only going out for 1 hour per day with printed, signed and dated papers to present to the police, etc)
> What value does adding the real name of the person to the article bring to you, the reader?

Honestly, it's hard to tell without the article being published and seeing what comes of it?

It's not like particularly rare for an article to be published where the journalist includes the name and two or three aliases of the subject of the article, and suddenly a lot of people realize that the person they thought they were dealing with in an isolated way is actually engaged in a much larger pattern of behavior -- the person who skipped out on a couple of grand in rent with a sob story under one name did the same thing ten more times under three different names, the guy with a family in one state has a couple more in two different states that didn't know about each other, the "reference" that spoke so well about a former employee is actually said employee, etc etc etc.

Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists by Noson S. Yanofsky and Mirco A. Mannucci

You are uninformed. Please delete your post and stop spreading harmful misinformation.

1. Just because people aren't working doesn't mean they are volunteering. In fact, there's an exodus of volunteers, because retirees, the group which historically is most likely to volunteer, are also the most likely to isolate because they're at high risk from coronavirus. This is causing a massive shift in the demographic of volunteers. It's unclear to me whether the number of volunteers is going up or down overall, but it is clear that some organizations are being left short-handed by the change.

2. Quantity of volunteers does not necessarily mean that there's a good match between volunteer skillsets and the skills needed. The massive shift in volunteer demographics means that certain roles which were previously filled by people with a lot of experience, are now empty, and an excess of young enthusiastic volunteers doesn't fix that problem.

3. Unemployment also drastically increases the need felt by many communities. I'm not sure whether the supply of volunteers is up or down, but the demand for volunteers is clearly increased.

You don't have to trust me or x87678r: call your local charities and see if they need volunteers. I am confident you'll very quickly find that some do.

EDIT: My post is strongly worded, but I don't apologize. x87678r's comment is far more offensive than anything I said. If HN is more worried about some strong wording than about telling people not to volunteer in a time when millions of people desperately need help from volunteers, then our priorities are screwed up.
This is a bit ridiculous though. It's not a set designed to represent a weapons mounted combat airship. By the same notion, I would argue the Star Wars series, Marvel Series, DC Series, etc. all represent violence and violent actions (to include guns, explosions, massacre etc.). Simulated or Fake violence is still the projection of violence.

We have to draw the line some where and stop this nonsense. Brushing reality under the carpet doesn't and won't change anything. Are we to now pull every toy used as a means of expression for children? How many dolls fight? How many transformers are military vehicles? How many kids have water guns and balloons?

People need to relax and get worked up over real issues facing the world like, literal ongoing slavery, child exploitation, human trafficking. But instead because those are hard, they focus on something like this to get their feel good dopamine kick.

A Bangladeshi here. Let me make something clear first:

- Facebook doesn't handle the transactions (yet), some mobile banking is used for transactions.

- Facebook works because you can sponsor a video of your product explaining the condition and people are very skeptic here about things, so video works, pictures like amazon don't.

- It's still a developing country and people like offers and facebook reaches bigger audience/customers.

- People do comment on Facebook, great for honest product reviews.

One might think of Bangladesh's GDP and think things are good. To be honest things are better than before but that GDP amount is inflated by the riches. We're still an agricultural country starting to make our way through the intellect based economy.

Hope that helps.

> I'm pretty sure in a skeptical sense they'll be trying to pay associate professors less for the same reason.

'Associate' is a tenured rank. Now, to be honest, universities should cut the pay of their highest-paid members first—and we've been getting the highly performative "admin taking nominal pay cuts" measures as sops to that—but I'd imagine it's far more likely that non-tenured assistant professors will see those pay cuts first (or perhaps, as maishe points out https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23918339 , you meant adjuncts, who get the weakest protections of any faculty).

This! So many native/web apps have APIs which are only consumed by that app and are over architected chasing "REST". Just make an endpoint for the data you're fetching and move on!

There are so many apps that go from function to rest to function.

App.Something(5) > /api/something/5 > API.Something(5)

It's OK to just need an RPC web API! Especially really verby ones where you waste time trying to turn everything into a "resource".
Thanks a lot for response and sources. Will look at them now.

It's the right idea but the wrong tool. Debt is actually the enemy of the founder/entrepreneur IMO...but building equity in yourself through moonlighting, side hustle, etc - is a better pathway. This is known as hard work = 60-80 hrs/week combined type of stuff.

Debt will creep up and crush you eventually, do not go into debt to "fund" your startup.
> That’s a lot of disclaimer burden

No it is not, a disclaimer is very low effort. Here is an example disclaimer: "Just a heads up, I am a Reach-UI contributor!"

That is in no way a large burden, still gets the message out about both UI Playbook and Reach-UI, and is just the more respectable thing to do here. I really don't think OP did anything WRONG, there is clearly no malice here, it's just an observation I had to better communicate in the future for the people like me who care about these details, I know I am not alone here.

Not a distant third in terms of usage, but how simple it is to use. I'd think Vue is probably the distant third in how much it's used, but it's impossible to truly know these things.

As for my judgement of modern Angular as complex, there's a few things I'd like to point out:

- separation of CSS, JS, and templating into separate files. This makes it harder for the mind to keep everything in place rather than just scrolling

- defining routes in a global file but also in modules.

- providers, services, modules, etc

To be fair, Angular is so much more than React and Vue, which just parse templates and add some features. I feel like I'm not spouting a hot take, I feel like it's earned. If Angular wants to seem more approachable, the team has a way to go.
Hi HN! I've compiled a list of actionable career advice from the world's most successful people. Each piece of advice is accompanied with a few 'Key ideas' so people can quickly get an actionable insight without having to watch a full video or read a full essay.

I'd also really love your feedback on what this could evolve into (if anything!). This is just an initial version. Right now I curated links and distilled the core ideas on this page. But going forward, I'd love to have some more original content (e.g. interviewing people and sharing their advice in small nuggets).
Not sure that "per pixel" is the most meaningful metric, because in astronomy, resolution is typically limited by telescope optics and atmospheric conditions, rather than pixel count.

But if I'm reading the paper correctly ([1], table 2) the observed angular resolution -- the FWHM, i.e. the "blurriness" of an assumed point source -- was on the order of 0.05 arcseconds. Given the distance from the Earth to the Moon (about 384,000 km), that would correspond to a resolution of about a hundred meters.

The thing about take home interviews is that the code can always be better. No matter how experienced you are, a sufficiently anal retentive person will nitpick it apart.

If you want to play their game, your only choice is to dedicate more and more hours to the project until it is damn near perfect.

Tips:

1-) Always run the code against a linter on strict settings before submitting. PyLint would have helped you.

2-) Always make sure everything is tested, even if it is trivial.

3-) Better to err in the side of too many comments than too few.

4-) Always include a README file with in depth explanation on how to build it, run it and what it does and how to use it.

5-) Set your project up for distribution, this means if you are doing python, include a requirements.txt if you are using external dependencies (Protip: avoid using external dependencies whenever possible)

6-) Use design patterns, whenever possible. Call attention to it in the comments: "Using decorator pattern to blalbalblas"

7-) Include a TODO file with a wishlist of features you would have done but didn't have time to implement (heh).

8-) If possible, get one of your mates to do a code review for you. Make sure your mate is an expert on the language of the project and also make sure you tell him to be as anal retentive as possible.

Does this sound insane to you? Good. Alternatively, you could do what I started doing. Just refuse these kind of interviews. The state of interviewing is partly our fault for putting up with stuff like this.
