There's a bit where he implies that if an encryption process doesn't take very long to execute on a smartphone, then it must be easy to crack the resulting file on a powerful server. Am I making a mistake here?

As a kid, my parents tried using parental control software on my computer to block porn and other inappropriate content. This turned out to be helpful because it motivated me to learn how to exploit the software. I applaud Mr. Cameron'

Yeah... I mean, am I the only one that thinks this article is kind of trite? Uncountability isn't a completely mind blowing concept to me.

The article title is kind of misleading. When I see "Silicon Valley" in a headline, I interpret it as metonymy. So I thought the article was predicting the doom of the internet startup industry, not the valley as a hot location fo

True, you can simulate the qbits, so the more precise statement would be they can execute some algorithms in a way that classical computers cannot and this gives them superior efficiency in some situations.

The article actually does mention Shor's, just not explicitly. The author introduces integer factorization as "a kind of reverse multiplication" (lol). He then explains that quantum computers can factor numbers efficiently an

This post is extremely stupid. What is this, the first grade? If you can't take honest criticism, you suck. If you think computer technology is full of mean people, try working in finance. My peers don't hesitate to give me honest criticism

I think this is a prime example of the vast potential of computers to generate material value beyond what we could have ever dreamed of in the 1960s. Finally I can avoid making all those painful driving time estimates. This is really a sign

I find it odd that Sublime is so widely loved. It seems like a way-station between Notepad and Vim/Emacs. The extensions are nice, and the GUI is easy on the eyes, but it seems that most of my peers outgrew their Sublime Text/Notepad++/Tex

Disclaimer: I am a dumb college freshman Does this guy actually expect his letter to be read by Ortiz? It seems ridiculous to me that this guy thinks his opinion regarding the case matters at all. But now I know who he is and the URL of his
