New quantum-computing advances heighten threat to elliptic curve cryptosystems
No, the sky isn't falling, but Q Day is coming, and it won't be as expensive as thought.

@arstechnica can that be changed to a mortuary? Or a maussoleum? I'll even sign up for a pyramid.

@arstechnica

The second they figure out quantum computing the digital money will all end up stolen.

"Oh no, how could we have seen that coming?"

Our leaders are "all" friends of Jeffrey Epstein, and so are the scientists.

They can't be trusted with the power we give them, but we keep doing it anyway... why?

Why do we hate ourselves so much?

Why do we think we deserve this?

Why watch it all burn when we could plant seeds and spores and build anew?

Paleontology has an Epstein problem. Women in the field say it's a symptom of a deeper misogyny | CBC Radio

The names of hundreds of scientists have appeared in the Epstein files, including prominent dinosaur researchers. As the paleontology community reckons with the fallout of these revelations, women in the field say it's bringing to the forefront what they've known for years — that paleontology is rampant with abuse and harassment, funding and fame are prioritized above all else and institutions protect established men at the top at the expense of younger women trying to build careers.

@Sea1Am I've heard about post-quantum encryption, no idea how viable, but it exists already.

@joe9nf

I will have to look that up, that sounds interesting, thank you.
