it says it works in browser so you just run it from tor browser


AFAIK Tor browser deactivates WebRTC to avoid leaking real IPs, so at least the P2P aspect wouldn't work. Not sure if seeding from the server works without it.


I'm not sure how webRTC works in Tor though.


this is for performance/security, what about other stuff, like new features, is it possible?


this is actually sequel to those sensationalist 'teleportation' articles. If you expected they will develop to teleportation of humans you'd been wrong.


theese experiments are done for completly other purpose then this article suggest. otherwise "teleporting" photon would be pointless because you can just emit photon somewhere where you would like it to be. and it would be exactly the same photon. and not just "To all intents and purposes"


You did not tell what is this "other purpose", but you might think about cryptography. Entanglement enables a mechanism where a secret key seems to exist only when it is activated from another location.

That way a satellite would be preloaded with hundreds of "hidden" secret keys and one of them would be available for encrypting only when it would be decided on the ground. A quantum twist to Merkle's puzzles.

I am not convinced by this kind of quantum cryptography. I am sure it would be possible to crack it, because all cryptography proposals are overly complexifying a little aspect of a much larger problem, and someone just look at another aspect of the problem and easily defeats the proposed cryptography scheme.

It is a pattern that we seen an incredible number of times, when do people will recognise it and adopt a more humble, honest and safer way to implement security?

Indeed I am yet another random guy on Internet, I am not versed in quantum cryptography, and I did not work on cryptography since a long time. But on the anecdoctical side, 12 years ago I had to work on identity/security and at that time when I told my colleagues that public cryptography was no more safe, they were baffled. For them it was pure non-sens, yet I could crack (factor in prime numbers) simple keys on my little laptop and RSA stopped a few years later their famous RSA challenge [0]...

sounds like ad-hoc hypothesis


im not "clinging to single universe world view" but i got 2 questions: 1. has this alghoritm actually been executed somewhere? 2. does this mean there is infinite storage posibillity to store any data you want or it must be "special" data. and how much time does it take to access any segment of this data.

if the answer is no to both question then my answer is: "it doesn't work."


> 1. has this alghoritm actually been executed somewhere?

Yeah, but so far we have the highest factorization achieved is 21 because we've only built relatively tiny quantum computers.[0]

0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm


what about other cooperation methods beside punishment. why are they less crucial?


Society already includes many forms of punishment, and there is no way that would ever change. The question is which forms of punishment are helpful and which not, and the social scientists can answer that question only if they include it in their studies.


i don't know about machine learning our jobs, that sounds futuristic. but machine can be set up not to require 1 specific manager to oversee it. it can hire whomever it chooses. that means machine is in control of its workers. and not the other way around


> We need to work with allied democratic governments to reach international agreements that regulate cyberspace to prevent the spread of extremist and terrorism planning. And we need to do everything we can at home to reduce the risks of extremism online.

It may appear that terrorists are planning something but in reality it is probably unplanned copy-cat behavior.


Have you tried to ask previous coworkers maybe they know somebody? There are certainly some programmers in your network. but mybe not on first "node".


Yeah. I usually ask if they also know anyone that is hiring. So getting into second-degree connections. It's weird considering I live in a big city. I felt like I was dealt a bad hand, but just made it worse.
