The paper was called "Quantum supremacy using a programmable superconducting processor" and was available at [1] but is now removed. I also found a partial abstract [2]: "The tantalizing promise of quantum computers is that c

The GDPR is much more than an EU regulation that forces a cookie wall. In fact, there is no cookie wall obligation anywhere. The fact that companies are so uncreative and can only come up with these silly solutions shows how broken the inte

There are some initiatives in Europe that let you directly buy ETS certificates (required certificates for industries to allow CO2 emissions). These companies then destroy the certificates, effectively preventing that CO2 from being emitted

1) You're confusing vegetarianism with veganism. Veganism is more than just meat. 2) Your 1% figure is not sourced and allegedly only involves USA & EU. Global climate changes demands global solutions, the EU and USA together can&#

Yes, this is correct. Additionally, massive cash incentives are being handed out in (at least) China [1]. This reward is given based on the impact factor of the journal, which means that excessive citation of your papers can artificially in

Points taken. Maybe the reviewers should be anonymous, but I still believe that making the reviews public after publication is a good thing (anonymized). > The reviewer is known to the editor, so you already have some accountability ther

This is an unnerving yet very accurate description of the current state of academia. I would nuance it by saying that some fields are more "competitive" (i.e. crooked) than others and there is, in general, a lot of respect for wor

Here's a possible solution to this problem. I'm still workshopping the idea, so feedback is welcome. The review process must become more transparent. The reviewers and their assessment of the work must become public when the paper

If you want a college textbook, there are literally hundreds with titles similar to "introduction to probability and statistics" and you should choose the cheapest second hand book you can find (or that they have in your library).

It sounds pretty much the same, but is distinctly different. That's where much of the confusion in the popular press comes from. The difference is that, as highlighted in your quote, there is some null hypothesis that is assumed when d

Sorry, but you're wrong about the deliberate practice part. The study's name even reveals it and a cursory reading of the text will clarify it: "The Role of Deliberate Practice in the Acquisition of Expert Performance"

Couple of points here: 1) HN is supposed to link to the original report about the research, which is done by the Guardian (linked in the first sentence!) here [1] 2) "Anders Ericsson [original study author] said the new paper actually

As a fellow scientist this enrages me to no end. It is little wonder that people lose faith in science if these kinds of quack researchers continue to claim revolutionary new inventions while swindling investors and the public out of money.

I know a few startups that may be interested and that I'd like to show this to, but I'm not sure if they qualify as "tackling climate". I would describe their "category" as energy-transition related, but defini

I am pretty convinced this whole interview is sarcasm and in that light, it is hilarious. It is a clever combination of obvious statements, silly semi-rhetorical questions and mis-attributed quotes. Below are some quotes from the interview

Thank you for the RTP information! Had not heard of it yet. The fees look very reasonable ($0.01-$0.045 depending on type of transaction) and they provide a level playing field (flat-fee, no discounts for volume) I also heard someone say at
