Hm, the only reason I want a new Macbook Air over an Ultrabook is that it has the HD5000 graphics which are way faster than anything else on the ultraportable market right now. Ultrabooks with HD5000 graphics still haven't launched. If

Would a quantum computer be able to solve these kind of problems instantly?

This should be possible to test automatically. And if that's not possible/easy to do, it should be standard procedure to generate colour maps that can be checked by humans.

No. The author has merely proven his own point that it's harder to make an espresso yourself than it is to order one at Starbucks. It doesn't mean you shouldn't try. And look at what happened: someone at HN posted the content

Very misleading title. The story is entirely about the D-Wave (supposed) quantum computer, which Google has now bought. It's D-Wave's quantum computer, Google really had nothing to do with it except that it bought one.

Wouldn't that just mean that you need a lot more tries to do a successful timing attack? Not sure if the regularity of his algorithm is enough to make it entirely impractical. I'm not even sure if it's not entirely impractica

What would be the timeframe of reaching/colonizing these planets? With another 20 years of engine development, would it be possible to reach these planets in our lifetime? That would be a world-changing event.

Why do we know all this? If he had such a perfect plan why does the whole world know where he's headed? Or maybe he's just really bad at keeping secrets.

This is the prisoner's dilemma. If you slow down and drive smoothly, and everyone else does too, then everyone benefits greatly. But if you cut in front of one of the smooth drivers, which you can since he's leaving lots of space,

They say the bank processes a queue and there's nothing they can do to speed it up. Every couple of days a support guy leaves a message on my support ticket stating that they're still waiting for the bank to process stuff. MtGox i

Just FYI, I made 6 bank withdrawals in Euro two months ago, and I still have only received 3 of them. They've used up all their goodwill with me.

I wonder if the author ever emails one of the two friends about the other. It's unfair if only one side of the private emails gets opened, but the other stays hidden. Also, given that presumably you're still friends after this inc

That's a good point actually. Chrome would be just as vulnerable as gmail..

Since the public key is public, any eavesdroppers will also be able to read the email. There is no point in the extension if you use the recipient's public key. It must be a mutually agreed secret.

I agree, but I have to disagree. I'd gladly use a more secure email service, but the problem is: 99% of everyone I know uses gmail or Google Apps. It doesn't matter if I encrypt my email if everyone I communicate with is vulnerabl

I'm highly doubtful that anyone in Japan could/would use such flawless English, especially online and in code comments. The Englishisms might be a sign of a paranoid American trying to obfuscate his writing, but I'd put my money on Satoshi

No. First, learn the internals of your system. Learn SQL. Learn NoSQL. Understand why your software is slow. Then, once you've optimized the worst case away with decent SQL and/or a good object-oriented architecture. Then and only then shou
