False.

>> The U.S. likes to think of itself as the world capital of start-ups. But America doesn't lead the world in actually starting new businesses. By various measures, it's behind Canada, Denmark, and Norway.

Real world data disagrees with your suspicion. Might want to rethink your reasoning.

Musk 100% comes from wealth [1].

In America, there's the whole mythos of the rags-to-riches American dream. Some people whose story is really riches-to-more-riches present their success as the former.

Yeah.

At the high school and college level, the Olympiads for math and CS are pretty analogous. But there's really popular semi-formal coding contests which exist outside academia which don't really have a math equivalent.

I'd say math contests are more popular among high schoolers, and semi-formal coding contests more popular among college students.

Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) [https://artofproblemsolving.com/] is a really good resource, and there's a very healthy online community.

They're also similar in how olympiads are different from the "real thing" (TM).

Academia.SE discussion about this [https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/86451/does-the-...]

As someone who did math olympiads in high school, my 2 cents is that they're a fantastic way to learn how to solve and approach problems and gain intuition. And I'd say intuition mainly comes from solving problems.

With at-will employment, Chipotle can fire her for no reason at all.

> This means that employers may terminate employees for any reason or for no reason at all, as long as it is not illegal. [1]

Wrongful termination would only apply if Chipotle fired her for being a member of a protected class, or as retaliation for asserted their legal rights.

Neither of which applies here.

Copying my reply to a different post:

From my understanding, they're claiming that the linear resistance-temperature curve with a slope of h-bar is evidence that the electrons are in something akin to a maximally entangled state.

Via the AdS-CFT correspondence, such a maximally entangled state is mapped to a black hole in AdS space in +1 dimensions.

With regards to cherrypicking, I don't think they're suggesting all HTSC demonstrate this behavior, but rather that the same principle is responsible for this phenomena in all materials in which it occurs.

I have certainly missed some details as I've never actually learned quantum field theory, so I'd appreciate someone more qualified correcting me.

And the Atlantic article is just a repackaging of the original Quanta magazine article: https://www.quantamagazine.org/universal-quantum-phenomenon-...

2018 LOGICAL qubits would break current crypto. But qubits decohere extremely fast, so you need error correcting schemes. Current estimates require 1000 - 10000 physical qubits per logical error corrected qubit.

I'd rather people be held accountable for what they create, especially when it involves me, my stuff, or my data.

I'd rather firms like Equifax be regulated into the ground than get a free pass due to scaremongering. (coincidentally, Equifax is in an industry that will NEVER be forced overseas.)

Do you also believe corporations should contribute to Experimental Particle Physics at CERN if they have benefited financially from the world wide web?

The purpose of universities is twofold: to educate and to produce new knowledge. You seem to have the mindset that most of a professor's work should be teaching-related.

People don't do PhDs because they want to teach, they do it because they love their field. And a professor's status (and funding!) depends on a history of producing high quality (and quantity) research, not their teaching prowess.

Any suggestions on how to get started on this topic, or anyons in general? I finished math & phys undergrad, but not sure how to dive in.

I read the relevant chapter from Preskill's Quantum Computation lecture notes (http://www.theory.caltech.edu/~preskill/ph219/topological.pd...), and gave (80% of) the review article "Non-Abelian Anyons and Topological Quantum Computation" (https://arxiv.org/abs/0707.1889) a read, along with some of the foundational papers (ex Moore & Reed). Now that I'll have some more time, I plan to pick up a copy of "Quantum Groups" (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-1-4612-0783-2) and learn the topology prereqs over the summer.

My issue is that the field is so new that there isn't an established body of Anyon Literature. Can anyone offer some guidance on how to gain proficiency?

Weirdly enough, when he was demonstrating the Stroop test, I had absolutely no slowdown for cuss words; maybe 3x faster than when the text named a different color.
