So what kind of qubits is IBM going for? transmons?

I'm allergic to some specific varieties. As in full panic, my throat is closing. Independently (or maybe not?) from that I get an insane acid reflux after eating any kind of tomato. I don't …

OP wrote cocoa, not coca

Looks might fool you once, but it's not a mistake you'll keep repeating over and over.

Spoilers ahead It was such a letdown, the book starts great, and then the explanation turns out to be magical Alien proton computers? Yikes. It was so promising. I eventually read the whole trilogy, I…

Damn, I'm not an Apple fanboy but that soundclip by Jobs makes so much sense; I've seen that play out like a hundred times. Here's a related one by a former IBM CEO: https://…

How about Fraunhofer, IMEC, Amkor, AEMtec, ICsense, Infineon...?

I don't see GlobalFoundries as a realistic competitor to TSMC. Also CERN's needs cannot be compared to the needs of Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and the likes. That right there is a h…

If a doctor would amputate my arm by mistake I would leave them a bad review no matter the apologies or compensation I get from them. Over the top example but I think it drives the point. People don&#…

How would I go about building an application for displaying very hi-res images like this? you know, allows to zoom, only load when it needs to, etc. Is it a big project? I'm really clueless (I&#x…

It's not quite the same to lift the ban entirely (UK) than to give individual, temporary exemptions to farmers that have difficulties for whatever reason. edit:Welp, I can't read. Seems it&#…

I'm sorry to say your understanding of physics is pretty wrong. For both, we control almost nothing, we observe. To that end we build tools to observe. We want to observe to reject hypotheses or …

Anaphylactoid reactions can kill you just as well as anaphylaxis. "Anaphylactoid reactions are defined as those reactions that produce the same clinical picture with anaphylaxis but are not IgE m…

Also the sweeteners taste gross and unnatural. I don't understand why things have to be sweet. If you lay off sugar for a month, you'll be able to re-calibrate. Nowadays I find cakes and man…

Not really. Consensus top 3 is Maradona, with usually Messi and the third more controversial usually goes to one of the Ronaldos or Cruyff.

A 6'4" 220 pound Krav Maga instructor.

We're honoring the fantastic actor, not his poor advice. You try to paint him as a monster but he was happily married for 40 years, not a small feat.

This finding is real science. The patent you cite is unrelated and 100% bullshit. For example, it states preposterous sentences such as this: "The fact that the fine structure constant can be exp…

It depends on how you want to compare them. You could look at it from a funding perspective. The total cost of ITER through 2013-2025 is expected to be 20-65 billion. Samsung just revealed they are in…

That's just ridiculous. His trilogy is good, in the vein of Asimov. It's riddled with issues, yes - such as poor characters, unbelievable human behavior, etc. But the big ideas (which is wha…

This demo looks more like a somewhat interactive movie than a videogame.

You mean like solar panels, drones and 5G? There's plenty of things

I'm not sure I got your point. They were under severe stress for sure. So what? Even if that was very damaging somehow, our ancestors anyway died very young and in not very sophisticated ways.

TSMC was the first to propose the general idea to use water. Others [ASML and Nikon] made it work in actual implementations that required hundreds of other developments. TSMC doesn't even make li…

It's much worse than that because kanji are not even words. The same kanji can appear in multiple words with absolutely nothing in common neither in meaning nor pronunciation. So the use of learn…

A depressing lack of details in the article.

That's very far from the mark. Tea was engineered by the Chinese for thousands of years. Initially it was drunk for its stimulating qualities, as some sort of medicine. If you pluck tea leaves an…

In my opinion Huawei has better products than Apple so this is not surprising.
