“The computers are not general purpose, but rather are designed for quantum annealing. Specifically, the computers are designed to use quantum annealing to solve a single type of problem known as quadratic unconstrained binary optimization. As of 2015, it was still debated whether large-scale entanglement takes place in D-Wave Two, and whether current or future generations of D-Wave computers will have any advantage over classical computers.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Wave_Two

I’m not aware this has changed.

On the plus side: they have >5000 qbits

D-wave is not a classical quantum computer. It is known to not be able to run Shors algorithm.

If you tried to do it yourself and compare what others can do, then no. Therer are AI artists and I’m not one of them.

You get an image with ‘picture of djt in a church with 6 fingers’ but it takes skill to get really good quality stuff.

It is not a problem to distribute the decryption algorithm. The question remains against what this will protect. Normal https encrypts the traffic safely during transit. With this, the data is also encrypted on the server. But if you can access the server, you can modify the javascript code to send the password back to a server.

It could be used on something like IPFS, where all data is basically public but you can be sure it hasn’t been modified.

Aren’t all (most?) those centralized services? What good is having the app if the service is unavailable? Tox, Jamie and Veilidchat are fully decentralized, not just federated, fully decentralized. They come with their own downsides though…

I dont now what records they have to keep? At the end of the day, whatever they have more then they should have according to what they started with and what they served are tips. If payed with card, the records are there anyway.

Imo if the worker is payed so well thet tipping is unusual, that should be the norm. Then when I have a reason, my kid puked on the table and the waiter cleaned it up or whatever and I feel like giving them 20, that should be tax free. As long as tips are a significant part of income it should be taxed. Not taxing tips doesn’t fix the problem that workers are not payed enough.

I’m still not sure this is a good idea. Workers should simply be paid a reaeonable wage and not have to rely on customers t pay more then advertized.

Oh no the wires are a mess. Usb3 cables have extra wires and pins for super-speed. IIRC usb-c has said extra pins for usb configuration like pd or displayport alt mode. The wires can also be different. Some can carry more current, most cables are insufficient for really high data rates…

USB-PD is only specified for USB-C. I think they use an extra channel for this configuration, so it’s not possible to use PD over A plugs.

There were competing standards like Qualcom quick charge. AFAIK they never went above 20-ish watts on USB-A, while PD is specced at up to 240W.

Imo the most important thing is the separation of what you do. If you’re logged in on facebook, you can do that from your public ip. Anything you’re not associated with your name you want to use a diffferent browser identity and maybe a different ip.

If you use Torrents or do anything illegal or whistleblowing or similar stuff, use a live linux iso with no persistence and a vpn bought with monero.

Ok, but how does the password file get compromised but the 2FA file not? Why not have a separate password file for every login with a different password then?

Idk about you, but most people likely dont have a bookmark to their favorite fetish website. And “google” (bing for those using edge) is the default way to open a website for many.

Some good recommendations?

I don’t think 3 dimensions are enough to describe what happens in FEZ.
