He's not wrong. Time is money, and time a business owner has to spend (either his or an employee's) to go to the bank and deposit the day's take, or withdraw rolls or change has a cost.
The people insisting on it and claiming it will be inevitable are the people profiting from it. If enough sock puppets and talking heads move public opinion such that it seems like a foregone conclusion, then people will be more likely to sleep walk into the brave new world of zero privacy and nickel and diming of every purchase.
I'm disappointed/. All this noise, and no one has provided the obligatory Doug Adams quote.
In the past the whales had been able to sing to each other across whole oceans, even from one ocean to another because sound travels such huge distances underwater. But now, again because of the way in which sound travels, there is no part of the ocean that is not constantly jangling with the hubbub of ships’ motors, through which it is now virtually impossible for the whales to hear each other’s songs or messages.
So fucking what, is pretty much the way that people tend to view this problem, and understandably so, thought Dirk. After all, who wants to hear a bunch of fat fish, oh all right, mammals, burping at each other?
But for a moment Dirk had a sense of infinite loss and sadness that somewhere amongst the frenzy of information noise that daily rattled the lives of men he thought he might have heard a few notes that denoted the movements of gods.

Good catch. It isn't really bad reporting, it's proponents trying to hide a major flaw in the system.
The thing about quantum key distribution is that it only works when you send one photon at a time, because if you send more, it becomes fairly trivial for Eve to pick up one of the extra photons and eavesdrop.
However due to losses and reflections along the fibre (even very small changes in refractive index in the core along the length of a typical fibre cause some reflection back), you need to send more than one photon to guarantee that one photon reaches it's destination. So for km long links they send what they call "weak" pulses of photons, and still call it QKD.
Of course this means that Eve has heaps of photons to play with when they tap into the middle. QKD proponents try to handwave this away using language like the quote you pointed out. And I guess it works on the bankers cause they don't understand optics or quantum physics.
I gave the reasons I don't use ISP DNS, none of which have anything to do with piracy.
I merely commented that if you do avoid ISP DNS, you won't notice the block. This is a bit of a problem because if you go do any of those sites for legitimate reasons (searching for fast downloads of creative commons works for example), then you'll be breaking Oz law. It seems a bit unfair, especially given it's pretty unreasonable to expect people to keep track of the thousands of web sites the MPAA and RIAA types have lobbied to have banned in Oz.
"Block" in this case is implemented by Oz ISPs via DNS blocking. Those using dnscrypt or any other form of secure DNS lookup which avoids the ISP DNS poisoning do not even notice these court orders.
There are many good reasons to use alternative DNS servers than that which the ISP provides, among them privacy, and avoiding ISP ad domain hijacking/redirection.
So you think astronomers built an apparatus capable of measuring every photon emitted over the last 13.7 billion years?
Title of this article is so incorrect editors should go back to primary school.
So the EU is now dictating which services it's member governments are allowed to run?
I wonder which telcos lobbied EU officials for that little gem.
Brexit was the right move.
Contribute your volunteer effort elsewhere huh?
Richard stated
All current committers to SQLiteÂapproved the CoC before I published it. ÂA single dissent would haveÂbeen sufficient for me to change course. Â
So not one person complaining about the CoC are contributors. All the people complaining are good for is hyperventilating on Twitter. If they want a db with a better CoC, they can write one. But they won't, because it's far easier for them to piss away their lives on social media and complain that no one respects them, even though the reason for that lack of respect is that they've never done anything because of said pissing away of time.
Quantum computing allows the use of Shor's algorithm. Have a read here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...
The upshot is that you no longer have to traditionally brute force encryption keys in the way you are thinking, you can find the prime numbers that will allow you to break the encryption quite trivially when using a true quantum computer.
Usually so I can plan how long it takes to get somewhere, add in traffic info and it's pretty useful to know if you need to arrive somewhere a certain time.
NASA used to verify computer calcs multiple times using different algorithms to make sure the answers the computers were spitting out were correct.
Now we are putting an AI up there with some fuzzy neural network - sorry we call it DEEP learning now - trained on earth based datasets that doesn't give deterministic answers. And it apparently has its own propulsion...
What could possibly go wrong? If I was the astronaut, I wouldn't be going within 100m of that thing while I'm in my space suit.
It's not "being gay is magical armor" it's "treat gays like human beings for fuck sake (which many republicans still have issues with)" which means they can do bad things and be hated on.
If that was the case, then you wouldn't have the word "faggot" in your comment subject. The second a homosexual does something that doesn't fit into your ethical framework, people like the AC op call him a "faggot" and a "traitor".
You can't use a historically bigoted insult, then just claim you are treating Thiel like a regular human being that has done a bad thing.
The first Toyota Prius model starting being sold in 2003 - long before Musk had even heard of Tesla, let alone decided to get involved in funding them.
That Prius electric technology is so successful it is now integrated into many of Toyota's lines. More importantly, those lines are actually profitable, and aren't over priced, overly limited vehicles, that suck up govt tax payer money to manufacture.
Toyota is driving innovation - worried about Li battery storage density, charge rates, and lifetime, they've started down the path of H2 fuel cell cars, but also maintaining their Li battery development.
Fast forward to today, and everyone from BMW to Nissan sells electric and hybrid cars. And they all do it without Elon's grandstanding and drain on the tax purse.
Elon is a loud, obnoxious marketer, but if you pay attention, you'll see that many car manufacturers are doing more interesting things in this space than he is. It's just that they are based out of California so the press doesn't pay very much attention to them.

No. We're still pretty far away from that. 6G is supposed to head towards the terahertz regime: https://www.networkworld.com/a...

Ah, but a pre-pay phone won't send info directly to the state. I think these idiots are going to like the parking fines that this feature will attract
It's called firestarter. Been around for ages.
Check out the Cadillac Thorium fuelled concept car that was unveiled about 10 years ago. Supposed to run for 100 years on just a few grams of Thorium.

People are using these new things called batteries.

Yep, that was my first thought. I guess we know who is writing the laws in Sweden.

I keep forgetting that it's OK for progressives to still hate gays as long as they are Republican.
I need a scorecard to keep track of this ideology cause it's getting too complicated for me.
Yeah, visibility is currently 0.3 miles. Which is ridiculous.
