Last year, my position was that we still had time to design PQ authentication mechanisms.

Now, based on the pace of progress and on statements like Google's, I believe:

1. we need to finish rolling out PQ key exchange yesterday
2. we need to start rolling out PQ auth now
3. it's too late to ship any new non-PQ design or system

So excited because I got moved to the taller crane on the job yesterday. It's not often I am on a modernized crane. I love the spacious cab, the anti-glare coating on the curved window, and specifically the trolley camera!

Here's a couple of photos of our concrete pickup point. As an example of how difficult our job can be, I am three hundred feet (sorry for the Imperial - craning in N.A. is just like that sigh...) away from picking up 14,000 lb buckets, ten feet from an active roadway. I have to put the empty buckets down beside buses, cars, pedestrians, cyclists, and people, (sometimes rando joggers actually IN the site) and not hit anything. On a typical afternoon I do this up to a hundred times.

Google has news on what you will need to do for still being able to sideload apps:

* enable developer options
* confirm that you are not tricked
* restart phone and re-authenticate
* wait one day
* confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing
* decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever
* confirm that you accept the risks
* enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with this
