My question is, if qubit gates have just been discovered, what the heck has D-Wave Systems been selling to Google and NASA in the past 2 years?
Non-silicon based systems.
and, significantly, did it in silicon
This is really the only new thing that has happened. Which is significant, but it seems a significant portion of./ users don't remember the story from june when we have seen over 1000 qbits demonstrated
The places with the highest rates of gun violence all have bans on guns
Incorrect. Places like Japan, Australia, Canada, UK, on and on all have strict gun control laws and very low rates of gun violence.
...did you just take the logical inverse of the premise, prove it true, and then claim that proves the premise false? And got +4 insightful?? Come on. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...
Just because (he claims) most shootings occur in places with high gun control does not imply that all places with high gun control have lots of shootings.
Debate and think what you will, but at least do it properly.
He isn't saying that cheating isn't 100% the cheater's fault, just that facilitating it is also bad. See: more chocolate bars in the checkout lanes at grocery stores directly lead to more chocolate bar sales. Is it the grocery store's fault that people buy chocolate bars? Absolutely not. But are they responsible for facilitating and encouraging this practice? Of course
Long answer- they aren't making clothes with it yet. They are testing to see that it is possible and if it would be viable for such a task. Nobody cares if something causes cancer if it isn't viable for use anyway
[shrugs] you could just resubmit it and show the possibility for a brute force without actually admitting that you broke the rules in testing the possibility...
To be completely honest I enjoy having an occasional Bennett Haselton submission. (And a quick search through slashdot, they are occasional). I learn a little thing and I think a moderate amount. Which is exactly what I come to slashdot for. If you do ever quit submitting to slashdot I may actually look to see if you have a blog.
I always hate when companies have such glaring security flaws and refuse to do anything about it. They deserve what comes to them I guess...
When the phone tries to update the keyboard, it fails to encrypt the executable file.
So this only happens when I have a keyboard update available and waiting for me? How often does this happen, anyway? To be honest, this is a problem, but not that big of a problem....
where everyone is "free" to make such choices, with no peer pressure and no social stereotypes to infer their decisions.
It is going to take a bit of thinking, but that would actually be really terrible if things such as peer pressure and social stereotypes didn't exist. That is literally the definition of culture.
You may want your culture to change, but don't do anything so stupid as to think you want it not to exist, or even that that would be possible.
NRAM has the potential to create memory that is vastly more dense that NAND flash, as its transistors can shrink to below 5 nanometers in size, three times more dense than today's densest NAND flash..
from the article
Each NRAM "cell" or transistor is made up the network of the carbon nanotubes that exist between two metal electrodes. The memory acts the same way as other resistive non-volatile RAM technologies.
If it looks like a transistor, and it acts like a transistor.....
Someone thinks there is only one type of transistor... Transistor Types
You'd think that something as small as 32MB would have been tested before they launched the thing... It doesn't sound like it takes very long to fill up 32MB either
The article says that things don't actually go faster than c. It is possible in a certain medium (example of water) for things (like electrons) to go faster than light does, but not faster than c.
Not even information can go faster than c, because we haven't discovered quantum entanglement to work that way.

I haven't been watching the price of RAM, maybe it's time to profit

I'm pretty sure CPUs are supposed to be closed so as to keep dust out.
And the magic smoke in
We have found a way to get more women to enroll for CS! All we have to do is make the NASDAQ really high!
Horray!
I'm pretty sure the rest of the tortoise is biodegradable too. You keep using that word- I do not think it means what you think it means
Mounting a gun on my car and driving it around is illegal.
Is it?

This seems to be one of the more interesting questions I have read. I'd like to hear her take on this too.
Pidgin hasn't been working for me for several days now... maybe I need to update it
So they're promising a cap on their maximum quality of service, but not on their minimum quality of service?
Yes
[Raises little flag]
Opera is still here... Yeah it runs off Chromium... But it still runs fast and is free of a lot of the annoyances of Chrome
I think you've been watching a bit too much Shia LeBeouf...
You should trust trustworthy algorithms, not just all algorithms. Bitcoin in particular is a pyramid scheme algorithm.
Yes- but you can trust it to be a pyramid scheme algorithm.
Short answer- yes.
Long answer- they aren't making clothes with it yet. They are testing to see that it is possible and if it would be viable for such a task. Nobody cares if something causes cancer if it isn't viable for use anyway

Transistors have been redesigned many times. Oh look! It's happened again!
Carbon Nanotube Field-effect Transistor
Unless your argument is that memory isn't an IC?
three times more dense than today's
So according to Moore's law we are about 2 years away from having these in everyday electronics?
Ps /. Mobile is really broken. I had to spoof a desktop browser to post this. Current vrowser: opera mobile 29.0

The end. A dumb article; not worth reading.
