Frankly, they had no other choice: public funding for quantum computing research is unacceptably low in the US. While China is funneling $10B into a single quantum lab [1], the US only spent $800M in the whole area for 2021 [2]. I fear that

That's valid, but the Buzzfeed executives carry much of the blame, not shareholders. There are a number of successful private companies, e.g. Wolfram Research, Huawei, Trader Joe's, Deloitte. It's quite evident that Buzzfeed

I initially thought this was a fringe comment, but I was surprised to learn that your criticisms have basis, with adherents like Milton Friedman [1]. It certainly toppled my presumptive association of the AMA with putting patient care first

What are countries with more functional healthcare systems doing differently? When it comes to comparisons with other countries, much of the dialogue in the US is centered on insurance coverage. That said, I'm curious if other countrie

Although I occasionally commit the cardinal sin of entertaining political discourse on HN, I think such disturbing statements aren't appropriate for HN. As a fellow American, I encourage you to reassess your comment and consider if it

I'd buy into that model. I'm interested in hearing how this has been explored in the past. People have mentioned Blendle, but it seems to be in Beta hell. The business model strikes me as the issue. I'm curious if one could f

This was echoed in a recent interview with Ken Griffin [1]. Even for Democrats such as myself, when Griffin speaks, people listen. [1] - https://youtu.be/AyEORjgaaNc

Inversely, I'm concerned that it's strengthening relations among Saudi Arabia, Russia, and China. In the worst case, this is barreling towards a Cold War 2.0 where nations throw humanity out the window for political leverage: * Sa

As this comment ([1]) demonstrates, I caution you against thinking it's safe to protest in Russia. We are truly privileged to live in a country where dissent doesn't result in being poisoned. Empathy goes a long way towards buildi

This is actually brilliant. Reminds of how Headlands Technologies solicits applications: they ask for a simple C++ program printing a number. There's a C way and C++ way.

I agree that TS eases the transition from JS, but I'd qualify your statement by saying it's not the toolchain that's a source of headache. Ideally, one should compile TS with `--strict`, otherwise there's little differen

This is a topic that came up in the wonderful Maria Ressa's Nobel Peace Prize speech. She argued that an international coalition of governments needs to combat disinformation on social media by saying what information is the "trut

In terms of immediate impacts to global financial markets, it depends on the extent to which institutions were exposed to structured credit products that depend on Evergrande's solvency. I'm not terribly familiar with US oversight

This 2019 article [1] interestingly remarks that Amazon is one of the few companies that has been able to maintain efficiency with scale. Within the context of its foray into government contracting, perhaps the US government can learn a thi

The question of "how do academic families arise?" is an interesting one. Off the top of my head, the Huxley, Darwin, and Witten families. Perhaps it's the irrational, human desire to map meaning where there is none?

Something about this just doesn't sit well with me. I find an individual's anonymity troubling when one speaks in an authoritative manner about healthcare policy for two reasons. Firstly, it's concerning that I have to take s

With the caveat that the paper is from a competitor that I like, this benchmark paper [1] makes me inclined to disregard this result. See figure 1. __EDIT:__ whoops wrong figure, just read section iv or see the first figure here [2] [1] -

> 64 bytes of FizzBuzz per 4 clock cycles That's borderline incredulous, given a single AVX2 instruction can last multiple clock-cycles. The reciprocal throughput also doesn't go below ~0.3 to my, admittedly shallow, knowledge.
