I’d forgotten all about Google+ until you made this observation

About how far does this leave us from a usable quantum processor? How far from all current cryptographic algorithms being junk?

Ok, good first step. When do the prosecutions for physical abuse start?

I don’t know where you live, but if you have a Hado arena nearby, then a taster session might be a good gift. It’s an augmented reality sport which can be played casually or professionally. There are arenas all over the world.

I read the whole article, yet in my head it was being narrated by Adam Curtis. Same vibes.

Too bad, how sad. Turn it into housing.
