Hakeem Jeffries rejects GOP spending bill as ‘unserious and unacceptable’
  • The implementation is usually the issue. If white people/wealthy don't need to show documentation, for instance. Or they only check areas that are known democrat (or known Republican). And, at the end of the day, many people can't necessarily prove it, and the government does not guarantee free/quick access to citizenship documents, so it disproportionately affects poorer people.

    Imagine if they changed this law 2 weeks before an election, and your birth certificate is in Clark county Texas while you live in Florida. It is a very easy way to disenfranchise voters and skew election results.

    Eta: there's also no robust evidence that there is almost any voter fraud, much less wide spread. Especially around citizenship. Why risk deportation/prison to vote? So this probably won't solve a problem that doesn't exist, and will create "unintended" consequences for legitimate voters.

  • Air Canada prepares to shut down as talks with pilots union near deadlock
  • I agree that's how math works, but by reporting a negative percentage with it colored red is misleading at best. Perhaps a better metric would be +/- |(percent change)| where + indicates profit growth and and - indicates profit reduction?

  • Airbnb's struggles go beyond people spending less. It's losing some travelers to hotels.
  • For me, it's almost always the cheapest/most convenient way to stay somewhere with a kitchen. And it may be an okay kitchen but almost always better than a hotel's. That's the part I find the hardest to replicate outside of Airbnb.

  • Regarding this picture, where do you think quantum computers lie and why?
  • Ah, I think I misunderstood the conversation, then. I apologize for that. I was considering quantum sensors and other quantum computer adjacent technologies, I suppose. Not just the classic idea of a quantum computer/showing quantum supremacy.

  • Regarding this picture, where do you think quantum computers lie and why?
  • I appreciate the conversation, but it does seem like you're dismissing everything to fit with your narrative. Quantum computing is absolutely a new and emerging field, I was just trying to showcase that it's farther than 21 divided by 7. From wikipedia, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetocardiography, MCGs are pretty much by definition a quantum sensor. The technical aspects of the paper linked goes in to how their device is different and why it does not require cryogenic cooling.

  • i'm 40 years old and just had ALL my teeth extracted in one go. The pain is excruciating. Any tips for pain relief?
  • Ibuprofen (Advil) and acetaminophen/paracetamol (Tylenol). Take max dosage but alternate them. Read the bottle and don't quote me, but it's something like 800mg ibuprofen every 8 hours and 1000mg of paracetamol every 6. So take ibuprofen, 3-4 hours later take paracetamol, then back and forth. Do not exceed 2400/4000 or whatever your bottle says.

    That's the method I was taught to get the most/longest pain relief with OTC.
