I don't really understand this. I live alone. I have to work for a living AND take care of the house. I guess if your partner is a slob it might be a lot of work. Or if you have some kind of massive frankenhouse.
A quantum leap is a jump without existing in the intervening states because those states are not possible. The OP is correct, a quantum leap is literally the smallest possible change.
You know, when playing the part of pedantic troll on Slashdot it's not really fair play to blatantly ignore important words (like "primary") in the messages you reply to.
Wait, I was ignoring the "troll" part. Well done, carry on.
I remember when dinosaurs were clunky lizards that were long extinct. Now there are a couple of them yelling at each other outside my window. I like it better this way.
Sure, humans never change and religion is immutably valid. We still definitely abhor tattoos and can all agree that slaves are fine, so long as they're collected according to a few simple rules.
Sure we do. Look at all those guys in WWII who died before they had kids. Or all the jocks who manage to die in high school or college.
Larry Niven has written science fiction stories about alien species starting human wars in order to try and breed a more docile human species. We still have evolutionary pressure. It's just in the opposite direction the OP thinks it is.
Even better, you CAN use Google's app. I'm looking into implementing secure authentication for a small project at work but I wasn't looking forward to having to write an app just for that. A bit of research and it turns out that I can just ask the end users to download Google's authenticator, Authy, or any of a bunch of apps, dongles, etc.
Google's authenticator is just a front end for a standard two-factor scheme. It's simple, it works, it relies on an actual standard, and pretty much anyone who has access to a computing device, including a cheap dongle, can use it, on or off line. Plus it doesn't involve your phone company.
The encryption-based second factor is also good because anyone can implement it, for free, from random Slashdotter in his basement on up. Actually, anyone can use Google's authenticator app. Apparently even Microsoft recommends it for their second factor.
In addition to the other suggestions, Google uses a standard two-factor encryption protocol. You should be able to use any device, including a Desktop computer, that can run that code. I know there's a Python library.
Apple, Intel, Marvell and others had quite a bit to do with modern ARM, as well as UK-based Acorn. On the other side, if you're using an Intel processor it's probably based on an architecture designed by an Israeli team.
Most big projects like designing processors or building supercomputers are really international. You might be right though, the US might have chased away some of their share through export restrictions.

Hello. Welcome to the Internet. I think you'll enjoy this place.
The one in ten has sex and produces children? With the other nine?
Well, it is pretty flat in a polar coordinate system.

Sorry, docile Kzin through starting wars, lucky humans through awarding lottery winners extra kids.
Sure, but you can jam a human too. And it's easier to provide the AI with backup eyeballs than it is a human.
Getting shot down shortens the life of an airframe too.
"not really why they don't allow fighter planes to go above 4-5G unless it's wartime."
So in wartime they let the pilots do whatever maneuvers are necessary to not get shot down, yeah?
It does have an effect. We used to have a lot more wars when it was just a thing rich men did to amuse themselves.
It's easy enough to download a chess program that will beat your socks off. I think you could even play Deep Blue. Not sure if you still can.
I don't think the US military is going to let you play their combat AIs though. And you know they have them.
Sure we do. Look at all those guys in WWII who died before they had kids. Or all the jocks who manage to die in high school or college.

You irritated the "my brain is magic" crowd and earned a Troll mod. Thanks for making Slashdot a better place.
We'll have them flying fighters autonomously long before we can trust them.
The Game of Thrones finale was on yesterday.
Everybody's a special snowflake.
Absolutely. Those are the best kind. The subliminal advertising works best if you think you're not paying attention.
They have one. TV.

Oh Slashdot. How far you have fallen.
