What is knock-off to you? A similar product manufactured for less or an inferior counterfeit indistinguishable from the genuine article by naive consumers? The latter was and is still a genuine problem; what is wrong with learning from othe

Actually technology is the best way to solve cultural and political problems. The invention of the printing press solved (or contributed to solving) many such problems, like the tyranny of the catholic church. Technology also had a huge rol

Pretty harsh considering comex is right and pranjalv123 is wrong. Authentication is still necessary in quantum communication channels. MIM is no less possible on a quantum channel than a classical one. Eavesdropping is harder but the no-clo

I don't agree. A company can never pay dividends then be bought out by a company that also never pays dividends. I'm thinking now that there are two components to a stock's value: a concrete component, since a share represents a part of the

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levinthals_paradox pretty interesting, but it sounds more like the protein folding nature does isn't NP-complete. Like, Scott Aaronson says, nature may just have selected a subset of proteins that it happens t

I don't think a naive search would even be useful because finding globally minimal energy configurations isn't the goal. It's pretty unlikely that nature would happen to put such large systems as whole proteins in their lowest possible ener

Especially in the case of pain this makes total sense to me. Pain is just a signal that something is wrong with you. If you believe in some deep way that the problem has been fixed, then there's no reason for your body to keep making you fe
