Can someone explain what computations using __zero energy__ from related article [1] actually means ?

[1] https://www.technologyreview.com/s/426917/physicists-predict...

""" Another is the possibility that it may be possible to exploit time crystals to perform computations using zero energy. As Wilczek puts it, “it is interesting to speculate that a…quantum mechanical system whose states could be interpreted as a collection of qubits, could be engineered to traverse a programmed landscape of structured states in Hilbert space over time.” """

If you brought back Wikipedia and related research papers about all major technological advances, it'd be so boring for researchers that most of them would probably get depressed and leave their profession.

With this depressing state of mind, new research would just slow down instead of speeding up.

Trading off screen space for feature visibility cannot be good for content-heavy applications.

You can always trigger or "force" interaction on the user but you can't force content on a user after you lose screen space.

I'm sick of reading late criticisms about standard stuff that made its way into Android guidelines. There was the Dashboard, then there was Navigation Drawer, now Google+ completely changed a few things altogether.

If you want to make all features so visible, then why not use Dashboards ? In one screen, you list all critical features and in subsequent screens you have all the space for content. [Ignoring the fact that Dashboards make the app look old]

Or heck, we had real Menus before that, magically, heroically placed in lower part of the screen! Not an ActionBar on top of the screen where you strain your thumb in mega screens.

But no... definitely no. Everybody has to advertise something else.

Just imagine watching TRON: Legacy with this...

Or imagine being instructed with light beams to Kinect captured objects... Interactive software doing mind tricks on you with just beams of light...

Priceless.

Did their children do any wrong? Since when did you start to punish other people instead? You'll also want to "mark their houses" at some point...

Please think before you write such things. That's not outright hate speech but it sure leads to hateful actions.

All those things are already done, I can't believe this got upvoted.

As an example, take a look at this: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=sms+backup&c=apps

"Mark Zuckerberg truly believes that Facebook’s mission – to make the world more open and connected – is the biggest and most important in Silicon Valley."

open and connected. and definitely more like Las Vegas...

I guess Branch is trying to do this already. http://branch.com/

> She could have run off and been a startup founder and “CEO,” but what kind of power is that, really? Running around Silicon Valley begging VCs for a handout; pitching weary journalists on another software product; building everything from the ground up and never knowing if people will actually use it. That’s not power, folks; that’s just working like a dog, and it’s a gamble at best, no matter who’s doing it.

Portraying visionary people believing in what they do are "beggars" is stupid way of explaining things.

how do you know they actually deleted all? I'm not saying they did not, but at some point, I expected you to say "pics or it didn't really happen" Many people are getting emotionally attached with companies, apps etc. so that it hinders their ability to even think about whether there is evidence or not.
