We tried, to no avail, just got the same unhelpful answer each time. Although we didn’t push too much, as we were still relying on the sole proprietorship account, and didn’t want to jeopardize that!

There is an argument out there that the 15 and 21 factorizations involved built in knowledge of the answer. If you accept that then there has been zero progress demonstrated so far for factoring numbers using quantum effects, not just a ridiculously small amount of progress.

I didn't get any reply for my 2 contact forms sent (unsurprisingly) but surprisingly got a reply to my email (my direct reply to the first email announcing my account has been terminated).

It said:
"We are sorry to inform you that your affiliate agreement has been terminated. Please refer to your termination email.

Unfortunately, we cannot share any further information."

I replied to that email again twice and no reply anymore from Booking.

I also received an automated email related to my 2 contact forms I sent saying that the case was closed and asking for feedback by clicking on 1 of 5 ":-)" emojis. So ridiculous...

Most countries have complicated tax codes.

That's not a good reason for tax filling to be hard, unless the tax agency itself doesn't know how much a person should be paying.
As a consumer you benefit from maximally exploited workers. This is why rich countries import so many products from poor countries that have barely any labor protections.

In the good old days companies paid strike-breakers to crack skulls and sometimes kill employees who agitated for better working conditions. It is because of collective bargaining that workers got a 5 day work-week, mandatory holidays, sick leave, maternity leave, a basic pension, and the right to a safe workplace. Many have died to ensure these basic rights for everybody.

In the good old days employers didn't have to take factory safety into consideration. If you got crippled by factory machinery you would get fired and live the rest of your short life in destitution. Let's go back to that system. Employees will be free to choose the factory that maims them. The cost savings will surely be passed on to the consumer.

This is a nice enough study but those commenting here surprised so many people see the year as a circle didn't read the article carefully enough:

> I asked our readers: "If the year is a circle – where’s March and December in your mind?"

The purpose of this study wasn't to find out if people see the year circularly or linearly - the circle was built in as a prior assumption.

I have zero data but I'd be shocked if most people don't view the year linearly.
Not really. Yeah, none of the options are great. I'd prefer a nominal payment TBH, but many people would probably not be keen on that (as expensing it could be an issue)

I didn't realise you were giving time away on FPGAs. Probably the best option would be to have a lighter preview that just shows the UX but not simulation, for anonymous users.

Unless you really expect your business to be mostly high-touch sales, giving your potential customers as much information as possible before you demand anything from them is probably the best strategy
Another way I've heard it stated: "single ingredient foods." And as you prepare them, try to keep them that way.

For example, adding a ton of butter to potatoes makes them 10x less healthy. More or less, calorically they become fries. Fries taste great but they should be an occasional treat, not a staple.
You are wrong, but close. They show that you can split up the factoring problem so you may solve sqrt(n) smaller problems, all requiring n^1.5 quantum operations, instead of a single run taking n^2 operations. This reduction can be implemented on a classical computer in polynomial time.

They also require more qubits per run, n^1.5 instead of n but it is unclear to me whether this comes from n*sqrt(n), i.e., sqrt(n) paralel runs on n qubits, or that each run requires n^1.5 qubits. I would expect the first.

So, the quantum part of the algorithm still requires n^2 gates, but the improvement is that it is split up (and non-adaptability). This means that it can be run in parallel, and that the individual runs will have less problems with errors stacking due to circuit depth. Note that the classical overhead for the reduction might be relatively high.

If you're technical this stuff is super easy to get around if you care enough. Realistically this will only be enforceable if the application has enough users and there's a company that owns the application which can be sued.

The answer is largely going to be to just use open source software which doesn't have CSS and continues to implement E2E. For work I don't care because it's not my privacy to protect so I'll probably just continue using whatever – Mac, Slack, etc. For most personal stuff I use Linux anyway so I don't really care.

Something I will warn people of in advance is that if you're in the EU/UK people have been arrested for terrorism simply for their book and memorabilia collections. If you're suspected of terrorism (at least in the UK) you do not have a right to silence and this extends to being legally required to hand over passwords/keys for your devices.

Once CSS is in place if you have any edgy Alex Jones memes on your phone / computer or a digital copy of something like the anarchistic cookbook don't be surprised if the government suspects you of being a terrorist or if you get put you on a list.

CSS and breaking E2E gives governments everything they need to find out who all the wrong thinkers are in society so they can protect us. It would be irresponsible of them to pass up that opportunity. Keep your opinions to yourself, and ensure all jokes and memes viewed or stored on your device are safely within the Overton window.

The list below represents a national accounts derived indicator for a country or territory's gross household disposable income per capita (including social transfers in kind). According to the OECD, 'household disposable income is income available to households such as wages and salaries, income from self-employment and unincorporated enterprises, income from pensions and other social benefits, and income from financial investments (less any payments of tax, social insurance contributions and interest on financial liabilities)…

This indicator also takes account of social transfers in kind 'such as health or education provided for free or at reduced prices by governments and not-for-profit organisations.'

The discovery looks like it might be another way to track devices (besides all the usual ways). One of the fingerprints is the `fingerprint` attribute. The protocol spec is unclear whether and when that can be recycled:

Right. It doesn't make sense to lay off a dev in Romania, who's salary is less than a janitor's one in the US office.
The picture on that link clearly shows how you can heat up greenhouses by running 14th gen. CPUs at modest speeds.

On a more serious note, kudos to them if these numbers are true. That’s a decent amount of renewables and waste reduction at such an industrial scale.

I don't get this. What is this thing about visualizing a concept? Do these people take hallucinogens to do this exercise? Or are they only reaching for the images of the past when they learned the concept? Is this an american thing? I don't see any image whatsoever when I think about a year. Same with democracy, time, justice or whatever. When I ask my friends, they also don't experience seeing images.
We did a little Cocoa first, and messed about a bit with html, but basically yeah I did. It was pitched as a fun exercise more than a learning opportunity, but we were bored out of our minds in that class and the teacher had little interest in teaching the material, and it seemed to hit very well with students.
That is still a lay off. If the company is acquired you don't get to pick and choose what contracts it had are valid, you have to argue your new contract is similar employment terms or you have laid someone off.

Well, technically it is a MITM proxy for a locally hosted LLM, but people these days prefer simple, catchy names...

But it might be useful if, say, you have a local GPU-powered machine on your LAN. I just wish they weren't using the advanced settings in the CoPilot extension and were using, say, one of the many OpenAI-powered alternatives (like Genie) -- would feel less like a hack and more like an alternative.
Accounting for computer scientists (2011)
Whilst not strictly non-fiction, I'm going with The Goal bg Eli Goldratt. It's a novel about accounting. Specifically, Goldratt's Theory of Constraints.

It presents the idea that manufacturing accounting is wrong.
My takeaway is that part of the concern is around functional units getting integrated into a SoC that are not 'safe' but might be backdoored or untrustworthy.

Having small IP cores where the source can be verified/audited that can then be snapped together like Lego blocks are very appealing from both a cost savings and supply chain safety standpoint.
LOL! I was just scrolling through HN before bed and spotted a headline about FastAPI, which was very much top of my mind after the go-live on the beta today. Clicked through and saw it mentioned us, so posted right away.
What do you think a free-market is? Something where the company could harvest the organs of the employees instead of firing them to maximize profits?
As long as you can find a peer and cash out your hashes, we are good. Banks are scam, regulators are scammers.

If I ever work at a cubicle, I will hang this sentence on a large frame over my desk, then stay silent and stare every time someone comes and complains about my ad blockers.
The problem is you have to prove intent to build a legal case. If the person holding a banner doesn't know whatever they're advertising is illegal then they wouldn't be liable. A case could be made if they're informed it's illegal and they continue anyways, but that isn't likely to happen.
The white noise I listen to sounds exactly the same as the brown noise in that playlist.

This button dumb phone is not even produced by Nokia - it only has Nokia logo. Nokia is one of major players on both 5G and PON markets - and that would be more than enough if not the recession.

It should be possible to build much larger (and lighter!) radiotelescopes in the microgravity of space & whole arrays of them.
Would that generate even more billions in revenue, though?
The Nokia of today has little (left) in common with "the Nokia of lore". Just as that had little in common with the company that used to supply the Finnish Army with Rubber boots.

The Nokia-of-phones sold itself to Microsoft and was subsequently wound down. While the brand name for phones still exists, it's no longer held by the corporation now called "Nokia". That came to be, if you like to call it that, from a "reverse merger".

The telecommunications equipment branch (which makes base stations and wireless connectivity hardware) was partially outsourced and recombined with that of Siemens, and later I think parts of Ericsson, to form "Nokia-Siemens Networks". Which after "old-new" Nokia's demise took (bought ?) the name back and became ... just "Nokia" again.

So yes there are "Nokia phones" again/still, but they're no longer made by Nokia. While Nokia-of-today is still doing what they (if under slightly different names) have done for 25y+ - make, install, maintain telecommunications infrastructure.
How is buying a your dev a single top of the line expensive 64GB RAM MacBook equivalent to on-demand EC2 instances?

Despite containers working locally, the ease of having a remote image with everything preinstalled is huge. Lots of large companies offer internal dev cloud environments - I’ve always found it to be a frictionless experience versus local setup at other companies.

> The failsafe is backups.

Backups are not a failsafe.

Firstly, backups are not an emergency plan. Restoring backups is the emergency plan, and that needs to be tested and verified on a regular basis. Making backups without validated restoration is just theatre,

Second, a backup is not a failsafe. A failsafe is something that lets you keep working in the event of a failure. It's not something that lets you keep working after you recover. If a self-driving car had the failsafe of stopping dead in the middle of the railway tracks until you restore it from backup you're going to have a lot of damaged trains.

No amount of computer database backup will help you when the power goes out. Fires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, they happen and power can go out for weeks (in the first world) or longer (in most of the world). With today's connected world, all it takes is for a network switch to go out and hundreds of thousands of commuters get stuck in the downtown during rush hour because the commuter trains have no failsafe while freight trains keep trundling on the same tracks because they do [0].

Making backups is not a failsafe and it's not good enough.

I'm not defending Meta and I agree that AI shouldn't used to review appeals, but the title is clearly a clickbait. Based on the article, they banned you because AI thought you're trading live animals not because you're teaching Python.

The whole notion of using a gun for self-defense sounds insane to me. The criminal is the one starting the violent interaction and is therefore prepared for it, probably has their gun ready or within easy reach. For me to then want to draw my gun sounds like a recipe to get shot. Being not a threat to a dangerous idiot and getting out alive sounds far preferable to me than dying like a wannabe John Wayne.

Everybody being armed ups the stakes for everybody, and I'd expect criminals to be more likely to shoot in that situation. And having guns for everybody, but only the best guns for criminals, sounds like the worst idea of all.

Best of all would be to make it harder for criminals specifically to get guns by having every gun and gun transaction registered and verified. Every loophole is going to be abused.
