Looking at some of the output... I think I'll stick with Tinker Hatfield and Sergio Lozano.

Also, New Balance 574s definitely exist.

I see my error, and I will sleep better at night (these are things I worry about). Thanks for your time!

No worries on the typo, and sorry if I said something dumb :) - I know I have something to learn here. I'm a layperson whose knowledge is basically the first chapter of an introductory undergrad text (although when I have time, I will dig into more). Perhaps I didn't get the terminology right, but I was thinking in terms of their total addressable market, depending on the quantity and quality of the qubits, they wont' be able to hand the keys to the castle of public key cryptography (so Shor's algorithm) to just anyone. Maybe that's baked into their business plan. Then I thought of some ways one might still probably get a bit done in this respect with a smaller number of qubits if SAT is in BQP (very half-baked idea), but from what I googled, it sounds like that's an open question.

I would imagine Shor's algorithm adds some friction to scaling, and who can be permitted to use scaled systems in the near term.

Could be in a TPM as well.

When I did consulting we used the PM Triangle and STR [1] where

Scope = Time x Resources

and could add people to the project when scope and time were sticky (say a project had to be ready for a trade show, or stuff had to be at distribution by August to be in stores by Christmas).

My mom is a master naturalist and has listened to (hours of) frog field recordings to determine which types of frogs are at specific locations for our department of natural resources (IIRC). There is a paper that describes how to calculate minimum adult population from audial surveys. If you still need to scratch that itch, I'm sure there are still some interesting applications along these lines.

Been on the wagon for close to 20 yrs, so I have had it all. Surreal Brewing(SF based) is by far and away my favorite. Very low cal - 17-75 cals (Kolsch is 17 cals). Might be a good option if you are looking for something less sugary.

Coindesk has a breakdown [1]. Treasury bills make up 2.94% of their cash/cash equivalent balances, which in turn make up 75.85% of their balance sheet. It's mostly in commercial paper. As the Coindesk article points out, it's hard to say what the credit rating or liquidity of the commercial paper is.

Compare to the capital ratios of your average bank, though.

SSTV is another modality Richard has used to encode images:

I have this EP, and the first time I listened to it, I thought it was actually a track. Sounded like Ventolin, another of his tracks, to me. :)

I've made this transition from product R&D to product design consulting. As far as your concerns about variety, it probably depends on what clients/projects your sales team is bringing in. As far as depth, again, this probably depends on the project - my experience was that I was getting much more depth and breadth, typically working on green development and having to figure out the hard stuff up front (like, can this actually be done?) Typically, I'd work on the first 90%, and the client would do the maintenance/sustaining. On the plus side, if you have a client or project that you dislike, you only have to hang on for the term of the contract - 6 mos / year for light at the end of the tunnel. In terms of concerns about boilerplate, my recommendation would be to turn the boilerplate into a library, and sell your customer licenses - you will be more competitive this way, and your margins will be better - it's a win-win (have had success with this). One thing to remember is that in the product company, everyone is on the same team, and you work together. With a client, each one is different, and the relationship varies, but typically boils down to "I paid you a lot of money, where's my stuff?" Be very careful what you commit to with customers, and that anything you do commit to is spelled out clearly and fully in the contract. That was the first important thing I learned. Good luck.

The Fed funds rate was 21.5% in June 1982. Negative real rates in 2020. Equity models that discount future earnings to a risk-free rate are going to spit out significantly different numbers in each regime.

And are people supposed to tear it down and dispose of the battery separately? (the battery is hazardous and has markings indicating it is not to be thrown away).

Good way to identify people using cover. That's got some value to people that can perform these sorts of exfiltrations.

The "Now Entering the EU" sign at the exit hints at the locals' view of its status.

It sounds like there are antibody tests in the offing:

Well, at least on the downside. The gains are privatized, the losses socialized - a private good when times are good, a public good when they are not.

Probably a good idea to make sure it's safe / effective before you give it to all humans.

I was reminded of that when reading about a compound in licorice (glycyrrhizin) that seem to be effective in reducing the replication of SARS, (another coronavirus):

I find that false promises of security are worse than none at all.

This was on the way from our hometown in the midwest to points Scandinavian. While this was going on, my daughter got the "advanced patdown," and she still mentions it when I bring up traveling :( Went from loving it to not interested.

Tried that once. Got the German shepherd scanner instead.

Could be the adrenaline.

Percolation theory [1] is touched on in 3-4 pages in The Eerie Silence: Renewing Our Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence [2] as well.

Works every time.

But what share of the aggregate benefit? How is the growing gap between productivity and wages explained? It's still a race to the bottom, it's just that the bottom has risen a bit.

Sadly not included in the list (probably because it was 1991) was the Audi Avus [1] whose construction and J Mays design language can still be found in Audi production cars. The quattro Spider Concept would have felt at home on that list as well.
