Qision··on Ask HN: What is your favorite method of sending large files?
Someone proposed WeTransfer but there is also Tresorit Send (https://send.tresorit.com/) who does the exact same job. Bonus point: they say they encrypt the data and their servers are hosted in Switzerland.
Qision··on The Physics of Brute Force (2016)
I don't know for metastable glass but you can read about the third law of thermodynamics which address the question of entropy and low temperature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_law_of_thermodynamics

Especially this might interest you:

"A classical formulation by Nernst (actually a consequence of the Third Law) is:

It is impossible for any process, no matter how idealized, to reduce the entropy of a system to its absolute-zero value in a finite number of operations."

>where 0 Kelvin is defined as a system devoid of energy

This is not true, in quantum mechanics at zero kelvin (so in its fundamental state) a system has a non zero energy. See this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_harmonic_oscillator#Ha...

Qision··on Learning How to Learn
Thanks for this, it's a nice summary. The final section about what doesn't work is really interesting and in fact too short! I really thought there was "learning styles".
Qision··on Learn Genetics
Thanks a lot for this! Could someone recommend me a good book to start learning cell biology and genetics? I study physics and I'd like to learn about biophysics.
Qision··on Simulacra and Simulation
Actually Pewdiepie made a video about this book and its relation to Matrix, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBwJF75wZnw
