The good news is, a lot of old secrets won’t really matter anymore by the time we have quantum computers that can break the encryption. There will obviously be a big impact on information that was encrypted just before we get a working quantum computer that can crack modern crypto.

In cryptography discussions, I feel like we’re usually implying (or even saying out loud) that the encryption is secure for a sufficient amount of time and computer power. Perhaps people outside of cryptography don’t know it, but I think there is a reasonable expectation that encrypted communications could be decrypted at some point in the future. We just hope it’s sufficiently far enough away (or difficult enough) to not be a problem.

Honestly as soon as we get some good post-quantum crypto, we’ll probably want to switch over to it asap, even if good quantum computers are still far out, just to help alleviate some of this problem. Of course, I imagine we’re still going to be finding new things once the technology is real and being used. Let’s hope the post-quantum cryptography algorithms we come up with actually are strong against a sufficiently large quantum computer.

Sounds like a lot of work. I have no idea how heavy a ship’s anchor is, but I imagine it would be hard to throw any significant distance.

This is it! Old water coolers

Not really on board with pageants but congrats to her.

Thanks for the explanation!

What is the biblical symbol you’re referencing? Explain it like I’m not a Christian (I’m not lol).

Many locals choose to just call it “National Airport” for this reason

First three search queries I did had zero results. Seems cool but not enough stuff indexed, I guess.

Yikes

This and xupermask are just cringe consoomer mush. It’s honestly shocking to me the trust that people put into celebrities and tech companies. Capitalists “disrupting” a regulated industry should be a big red flag.

Yeah I’d rather not be making regedits and of course can’t even do that on a work device.

No small taskbar icons option was bothersome for me. Have to deal with it on my work PC. So much lost screen space 😭

I wasn’t aware that prison sentences commonly included death from chemical ingestion

I have the same issue. When I start printing on my brother printer, the lights flicker 😨

Great printer, though

It is almost certainly illegal under the computer fraud and abuse act. Don’t hack, kiddos.

Free two day delivery and access to prime video

It’s just text but I’m sure I’m underestimating it, especially at social media scale.

Anyone smarter than me know how much storage (I assume that’s most of the problem) overhead we’re talking with a version control system?

Given, we may not have a version control system that is appropriately designed for social media yet, so pre-existing software like git might not be efficient.

Who cares

What OP is suggesting is actually in that Wikipedia article. Apparently it’s called “Baltimore Stockbroker / Psychic Sports Picks”.
