10'000 years vs. 3 minutes, 20 seconds vs. 2.5 days, IBM says google does not comunicate properly
Google quantum computing: "Quantum supremacy" claim by Google disputed by IBM - CBS News[^]
What bothers me also among next "super AI applications" is:
Quote: One feared outcome of quantum computing – though experts say it's likely still decades away – is a computer powerful enough to break today's best cryptography.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

A simulation of small chunk of computation that takes the current world greatest computer to do it in 10,000 years,
This is an ill formed sentence. Normally, I would let this go but here we are to conciser computational supremacy.
It should read like this:
A simulation of small chunk of computation that takes the current world greatest computer 10,000 years to do,
Sorry I'm a dick today.

Have you ever wondered how one of the largest software companies worldwide ensures high-quality code through code reviewing? Rarely, and without meaning it?
OK, actually, "In this study, 36% of the developers said they perform code reviews multiple times a day. Another 39% of the developers said they do code reviews at least once per day."

Why am I reminded of when asked what he thought of Western civilization, Mahatma Gandhi replied in a famous and perhaps apocryphal way: "I think that would be a very good idea".
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Facebook's most recent attempt to extricate itself from a potentially landmark lawsuit has come to a dead end, as a federal court declined to hear another appeal to stop the $35 billion class action. I guess this is what happens when you try to live up to the name of your company?

Happy to see that they start to face consequences, but... I suppose they will find another way to get out of this and continue doing what they want.

mmmm... granted. There are so many wanting to do it...
but FB still wants more and uses not very ethical ways to get it. And that's the part that pisses me a little bit off

All that says is that they track your visits to the site, it’s a tracking cookie. Tons of different sites do that for analytics. You had said that they take information off your system, that is what I was asking you about.

Facebook gets the data of those tons of different sites all together, being able to extract / extrapolate a lot more information from the mass data than just analytics about the web usage as the individual web owners might do.

I also don't see the harm in Facebook, or anyone, knowing that I clicked a link and then another link and then another. Do you? If so, what's the harm?

There has been a couple of articles complaining that some functions of the FB API where even tunneling informations about the software containing them and about the users using the software. There are a lot of pages explaining about this and other ways they are using.
But... if what you want to hear is... No, I can't 100% explain it because I am not an expert in the topic and / or I have no evidences for what I am telling apart from links to some sites... here you have.
If what you want to hear is... only because it is said in the internet, it has no certainty to be true... here you have.
If they were so innocent as they claim or you think / imply, they would not be facing the situations they are facing or are going to face.

If FB spy on me using the content of whatsapp... hey, it is free, I am not so naive to think free means really free. But visiting a site that doesn't belong to them. No, I don't think they should be doing it.
Anyways... I already know you enough to see that this is not going to come to any point. You are going to continue asking questions out of "incredulity" or telling how unimportant the whole point is and I am going to get tired to trying to show you what I mean, so...
Let me agree with you that we disagree and see you around.

I don't see any danger in sites tracking what you visit. It took a long time to get there but that's all I'm asking. You said they should not be doing it and that's fine, but no one has ever been able to explain what the danger is. If no danger, then who cares?
I don't care if my neighbors watch me doing yard work from their window. I don't care if someone looks in my car while we're stopped at a red light. Our "privacy" is constantly at risk but we don't care because it means nothing. That's how I see facebook knowing that you went to site1.com and then left and went to site2.com. It just doesn't matter.
People have also complained that Microsoft was collecting telemetry data from Visual Studio. Again, who cares?
I'd love to hear someone explain a real threat and then I'd totally change my mind. But until someone does, I just don't care.
