    @jon-nyc said: Well it’s not technically just in its current form. Shor’s algorithm breaks the math underlying most public key cryptography. But today it requires millions of years of computation whereas a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could do it in hours or less. With a 500K qubit computer, which is completely unknown whether that's ever going to work. Nobody knows whether quantum computing will ever be practically useful. I highly doubt we'll have a 500k qubit computer in the 2030s. Also, cryptographic algorithms can be changed. It just requires a "hard fork" of the blockchain.

    Did you know: all five of the US flags planted by the Apollo missions have been bleached white by the UV rays which means now the moon technically belongs to France

    We can learn a thing or two from Iran it seems. Also, watch the video in the article about the F-47. Impressive. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/us-fields-a-low-cost-drone-modeled-on-iran-s-shahed-design/ar-AA201Zsn

    Ok, that’s cool. Though cooler sped up than in real time, I imagine.

    Saw it this afternoon. Delightful movie, and deserving of all the accolades it's gotten. I went to an IMAX theater - though it really didn't need IMAX. However, the seats were standard, small, uncomfortable seats from the 1960s. After 20 minutes of trailers and 2:20 of movie, my butt was sore. Still pretty, but sore.
