If I understand correctly, the paper asks us to imagine Alice's friend making a 'classical' coin flip, and Alice modeling and measuring her friend's lab as if the coin flip were a quantum superposition of coin heads/coin tails.

But this is simply wrong. The error creeps in in the second assumption:

> An agent can analyze another system, even a complex one including other agents, using quantum mechanics

This is likely a good assumption, but quantum physics would tell Alice that the coin's atoms are all firmly in a state corresponding to either 'heads' or 'tails'. The author is actually making the following assumption:

> What we classically think of as chance is completely interchangeable with the unpredictability of quantum superpositions.

This notion has already been proven wrong many times over.

I think there is confusion between some of the terms he is using. I don't believe this is a secret call so much as one where the parties are unidentified. The contents of the phone can be trapped, and if there is any exchange of identifying information, an investigation can be successful.

With burners at the 7-11 they seem to want buyer information, even with cash. I have yet to find an untraceable burner.

The way you get an untraceable burner is find the closest junkie, and pay him extra to go purchase you a phone.

This is huge for folks developing with VxWorks. And for rust adoption in general.

Nice post, quite interesting.

I think Rob Pike may have one of the coolest email addresses in the world ([email protected]).

Back when I worked at Google, a friend of mine got an unpleasant email from r@ because his Python script had a bug: it sent alerts to the individual characters of [email protected]

I've heard his email causes issues for tons of internal systems at Google because a lot are coded with the expectation of a minimum of 3 characters for the left part of the email. May just be urban legend though.

Do "+" suffixes work for google.com addresses? Is [email protected] the same account?

Yes and no. Yes, they belong to the same employee; no, each google.com mailbox needs to be approved, they are not automatically redirected unlike regular GMail addresses.

I am getting the feeling that this has less to do with vinyl sales surging and more to do with CD sales plunging.

Why don’t they include some videos from the scene? People today don’t read and they only include one photo of a guy with his head in his hands...

I’m glad they talk about it but I wonder how much impact this article actually has...

I hope this helps all those people that somehow manage to lock themselves out of their instances.

I did NOT see this coming.

This leg uses advanced AI and Machine Learning algorithms with a cloud Prosthetic as a Service (PaaS) model. Utilizing the latest in state of the art open source blockchain technology, this leg will bring added value while synergizing with your efficiency to optimize your bottom line.

The Prosthetic as a Service (PaaS) model uses a pay-as-you-go approach.

I took this comment at face value. It’s only a matter of time.

first 20 miles for free

after that, the fall of man.

The true cost of a digital currency in the energy required to mine new blocks of currency. By using just a fraction of the energy naturally generated through the movement of the leg while walking, each step could bring you more wealth in STRIDE coin(™).

STRIDE - The future is just a step away.

You forget there is an option to run on-prem

Actually, I'd be more interested in one that can run in the cloud...

Not enough digital transformation

it's a win-win-win
