No, they're orthogonal terms. Homomorphic encryption is encryption where a specific operation on ciphertexts (e.g., ×) translates into an operation on the underlying plaintexts (e.g., +). With fully homomorphic encryption, there are ev

Headline should be "polynomial time quantum algorithms for solving lattices" or somesuch. The polynomial time aspect is the main contribution here - and also why this is attracting attention.

I figured it was a troll attempt. Judging by the replies, I'm not sure if the troller would be pleased (quantity) or sad (lack of outrage). ETA: The idea of a troller losing faith in humanity because his trolls are taken seriously but

For comparison: apparently, "fuel" weighs about 3.7854 kg per gallon, so 63,000 gallons weigh about 238.5 tons.

Except that road maintenance is a bit more expensive than you'd think. From memory, a politician claimed a few years ago that 40 km of highway was about as much as 1 JSF (~$110mln). Let's pretend that that is a rough proxy for wha

That assumes (at the very least) that any data gathered from such an "experiment" would be representative of what the effects of such legislation would be elsewhere. Perhaps... but my guess is that repeatability wouldn't depe

Sure, but the extent differs greatly. Imagine someone doing this to enter an additional genre unburdened by their well-known works - so not "quit the band, band reformed under new name" stuff. In how many genres can a very prolifi

Thanks! My switch is (and will remain) offline. I wasn't aware some games may not play - even some first-party games like super mario 3d allstars needs updating, according to this.

I am more bothered by the part with having over 650 different artist names that hide their link to each other (unlike Prince/TAFKAP, Kanye/Ye, etc). I mean: your gripe is basically Spotify's entire raison d'etre . On th

This happens in other countries as well. An option here is to donate to a charity. It is tax-deductible, carries no risk of accidentally making you more money, and typically does some good instead of lining the pockets of the wealthy. Do ch

It sounds as if your MVP wasn't viable... That is: what you thought was the important part of the 95% and what the potential customers thought, differed too much. Sidenote: I wouldn't be surprised if you closely followed what cust

I think your uncle's case is a bit different of that from a world-famous author who has writings that he didn't publish, who wants those not published after he's gone. As others have pointed out, if his children really though

This has been used as an attack vector in the past: spot reasonably popular plugin; make author an offer; inject whatever tracking/other malwate stuff new owners want (typically after a delay). So now we'd have to trust the author

"By eight" isn't a bad term for 8 things either. Linguistically speaking, it's often abbreviated to "byte".

The discussion becomes simplistic because the moral wrongs are so blatant. See eg the cost of insulin (source from 2018): https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cost-of-insulin-by-country/ USA: 99$ Next most expensive count

Indeed - to me it seems there are politicians, politicians using populism, populists becoming politicians, and the new class: populists milking politics. That is, populists without political goals entering politics and finding fertile soil.
