Green and diverse. You forgot green and diverse. Also youth.
All of these provide synergy.

Encryption aids everybody's privacy, in the same way that roads aid predators to steal away with your children, and food aids predators by giving them nourishment. Ergo we need to ban encryption, ban roads and ban food. Anyone who doesn't want to ban food (and let me snoop on all their messages) is an evil predator - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNYZo5yRVNk
Anything in the same sentence as "aids predators" throws context out the window and marks it as a vile and awful thing to anyone listening. Don't use that language, and don't let someone lead you by the nose into using that language.
Instead, talk about how end-to-end-encryption improves the safety of all users, including children, because it gives them control over who sees their messages, and shields them from criminals who would gladly snoop and steal their personal data. Banning or breaking encryption will not make children safer. What will make them safer is parents supervising their young children's internet usage, and teaching them how to protect themselves online when they're older - how they should avoid giving out personal information (e.g. to Facebook or Instagram...), how to lock down access so only their verified friends can talk to them, etc.
I've been having a difficult time explaining why E2E encryption is, well, almost a moral imperative...
Your metaphors, etc.., have made it easier. TYVM <3

Why has chemo go through the whole body. Why not ecmo chemo only the combat zone?
There's "topical" chemo for some stuff, but it's uncommon. Most chemo is either in pill form, or (as was for me) delivered intravenously. So it goes through the whole body.
Radiation therapy can target specific areas. It's still used instead of chemo in some cases.

Usually the cancer cells are throughout the body, even if the tumors themselves have not spread. This is why you might cut out a solid tumor, and then give chemo
For me, they cut out most of a giant tumor, but couldn't get all of it without risking some vital organs. Then I got chemo for the rest. Interesting process.
Usually the cancer cells are concentrated where the tumor is. One of the first things they may do upon diagnosis of cancer is a PET scan (which shows you where cancerous stuff is throughout your body).
Life advice for all the young folks: don't get cancer.
I check my bank account every week or so. If it's above 0, I consider it a win.
Wish I was kidding :/
I tried YNAB and it was too cumbersome. If I were to try again, I'd go for some low-tech Exel option.

Yes, good point (apologies to the Lukin group). That's an interesting proposal, but it seems from a cursory read that you would need still need very many physical qubits to approach that asymptotic rate, and also you would be forced to take a very large slow down due to serializing all of your logical operations through a smaller set of conventionally encoded logical qubits. That said, I'm not current on SOA LDPC QEC proposals, so I'll moderate my claim a bit to "the first actually useful logical qubits will almost certainly have an encoding rate lower than 1/5".
"Peanut Gallery" here... These types of conversations are the reason I'm still addicted to HN.
Thank you both. And /hattip
"Our goal is to create a company that can do anything short of manufacturing physical objects directly, but will be able to do so indirectly, much like Apple has other companies manufacture their phones."
In other words, we are a knowledge economy and outsource like it's the 1990s with a bit of "AI" fantasies thrown in. The crash cannot come soon enough.
