vamos_davai | 6 years ago | on: IBM will soon launch a 53-qubit quantum computer

I don't really understand quantum computing, and hopefully someone would shed light and let me know if my understanding is wrong. Isn't a qubit similar to a transistor that can hold more than 2 states and the implication is that it'll be faster than current SIMD operations?

I investigated into developing in Half Moon Bay, which is zoned by San Mateo County. There's wide swathes of land up for grabs, but the county or the council forbids development unless you buy enough land and come up with a proposal. This ends up costing in $5-$10 million of undeveloped land alone (no sewage line connection and no electricity). And these lands are planned unit developments, which in practicality means homes only for the wealthy.

> A delivery­man who would give only his surname, Yang, says he generally makes $15 to $30 a day, and as little as 75¢ for a short trip.

Honestly this makes me skeptical of an AI delivery person unless it starts in high cost of labor countries like the USA. It would be silly to try to beat the low human labor costs of China or Southeast Asia.

I understand the frustration, but I think the anger should be directed at inefficiencies in the market. You can examine UPMC's Charge Description Master File for their different hospitals, and the cost for Y-90 Sirsphere is $222406.00 in Pittsburgh and $56687.00 in Erie ($150,000 and 2 hours drive difference).

Not bashing UPMC, but this probably applies to hospitals around the country. These hospitals have huge costs due to administrative and pay. As for us patients and potential patients, eliminating high drug costs by making sure people know they're finding equal quality medication at the best price is a step forward in my book.

I've lived in LA for 3 years and voted to support Measure M. My take on this is that by increasing the capacity for public transit, we'll be able to support a continuously growing city. One of the ticket items that got me to support Measure M is funding for the Sepulveda Transit Pass, which will build a train route from Sherman Oaks to UCLA and down to Culver City and ultimately connect to the Purple Line.

The problem with the graph is that it doesn't factor in population growth, which seems to have grown from 3.2 million to 6.9 million from 1970 to 10 million 2013. If you calculated the miles travelled in transit per year, you'll interpret many folks in LA benefit from the Measures.

As a result, I believe the article is disingenuous by attacking a successful measures by relying on poorly interpreted data.
