I've always assumed that, however here quantum computers are in labs you can read articles about, they're herer at the NSA. Is there any external evidence that the NSA is already using them?

Which is not surprising considering that salaries are the number one thing venture funding is spent on.
Restricted grants are when you give money to a nonprofit to do what you want, rather than what they want. Usually this is some highly visible thing that the donor can then claim credit for. These projects are almost never what the nonprofit would have chosen to do themselves. Often they damage the nonprofit significantly. I was talking to a nonprofit a few months ago that had branches in two different cities quite far apart. I asked them why they'd chosen to expand to another city rather than expand in the city they were in. Wasn't it a distraction? They said it was, but that they'd gotten a restricted grant to open a branch in the new city.
The less powerful nonprofits have no choice but to take such money. And they don't dare complain about it, which is why you've never heard about this issue. Exactly the opposite, in fact: they have to issue press releases lauding the generosity of the donors. Which then perpetuates the problem, by making it seem to future donors that restricted grants are how you're supposed to do charity.
I don't know how Dropbox figured out that they should do unrestricted grants. It's a remarkably sophisticated insight for beginners.
There are a bunch of solutions to the smalltalk problem. One is to have a stock of prefabricated responses to common situations. Another is to let the other person do the talking. Most people love to talk about themselves and their thoughts and feelings, if given a chance to.
In what way are Python's lambdas restricted? Do they literally have to fit on one line?
Do you have to use a separate version of + to add complex numbers in Python?
Do you prefer loop because it's more concise or because you can say things you can't say in Python? Can you give me a couple examples of things that work better with loop?
(As you can tell from my questions, I don't know much about Python, but as a Lisp hacker I'm curious about other Lisp hackers' view of it.)
This is one reason spinoffs rarely work.
The argument for horsecaptin keeping the stock is that while 80% makes the company damaged goods, 8% may not.
The investors will claim pretty convincingly that it makes a big difference to them though. And that will put a lot of pressure on your (presumably inexperienced) cofounders, who will consider you a jerk for not giving in.
This was in mice, but if silence turns out to grow neurons in humans too, that will be big news.
As I've gotten older I've seen the value of this rule. Though it sounds merely negative, it can produce effects that seem little short of genius.
Some people can sometimes find types of work that they love so much that this doesn't happen. I have often managed to.
The youngest of the companies you list was founded in 2007. The first stable Clojure release was in 2009.
“Who really reads the comments under news articles, anyway?,” he said when asked whether the tactics worked in Russia. “Especially when they were so obviously fake.”
“But for Americans, it appears it did work,” he continued. “They aren’t used to this kind of trickery. They live in a society in which it’s accepted to answer for your words.”
I've noticed something similar in prose. When there's a sentence in a paragraph that should be cut, it's disproportionately often the last one. I've seen this in my own writing and in other people's. Interestingly, it's particularly noticeable in the writing of Wodehouse; these bad final sentences are one reason his later stuff is not quite as good.
