No, we don't have a perfect understanding of what's going on. The qubit processor is like an intermediate step, instead of a traditional processor, the grunt of the work of special problems is handled by the qubit chip. The data i

My point is that even if we can't prove the D-Wave Two is faster at any problem than a traditional computer that the massive amount of knowledge gained about quantum computers will outweigh the costs. It's far too early to worry a

Some blog posts are just written because the author wanted an article to attract people to their site. I'm not necessarily saying that was the case with this article, but I do agree that it lacks substance, purpose, and a clear message

For things like that it might be best to limit federal regulation and let states decide those issues. This would allow for experimentation of these ideas that are too complex to correctly predict every variable. There are numerous issues th

Thanks for those videos! I've read/watched similar things before about habits but something just clicked for me that I'd like to try. I'm going to set my main goal as to simply creating the habits, rather than doing X am

I will try your suggestion this week. Thanks! I like the idea of scheduling play time rather than assuming play comes after work.

I found that taking notes by hand and then rewriting them on a computer works nicely. When rewriting the notes you can make them more condensed and leave out the parts that might be irrelevant, but the information is still available with th

The private key could have been stolen any time during that the heartbleed vulnerability has been present on the server (~2 years). This would allow for a MITM attack which would obtain user credentials and unauthorized access to a server.
