    D-wave is a complete scam. They are just regular digital computers. No wonder you think that.

    Eh, 2 or 9,000. What is the difference?

    Thank you! Isn't that how it works?

  4. I didn't even finish reading the summary, but my guess is this is some sort of Rust millennial who things memory safety doesn't exist in C/C++. Sorry kids: Rust and your boutique languages will not catch on.

    It is around 2 electron volts.

    You are nuts. We aren't even close to a few-hundred qubit range. I dub thee "QC Nut" and you are in the same basket is the "AI" and Space Nutters.

  8. Celsius? on China's Fusion Reactor Reaches 100 Million Degrees Celsius (abc.net.au) · · Score: 5, Funny

    That is 212 million degrees in Fahrenheit. If they did it in America it would have been much hotter.

  9. Cell phone plans are not "much more expensive" in the US than any other western country. For example, a BT mobile unlimited plan is around $55 in the UK (and you need to sign a 12 month contract). Sure, you can find cheaper carriers, just like in the US, but for the same service level it is roughly equivalent. I know, all the EU geniuses will mod me down for daring to speak the truth, but oh well.

    Baloney. All Waymo cars have a backup driver present. Usually two.

    Let me know when the first driverless car service launches. You missed the fact that these cars will have drivers in them. They always do. It is just hype.

    It should bother you. It is just an accounting trick. The reality is that it is a loss. People who buy into the concept of "goodwill" are idiots.

    Goodwill is also wasting money. If you have a lot of goodwill on your books you are shafting your investors. And no, normally companies don't buy companies at more than they are worth. That is dumb. This is a new phenomenon caused by too much cheap capital. And you can see why this is dumb: look at GE. They are likely to go bankrupt due to their buying habits.
