i for one have full confidence in the trump administration's ability to adequately refit a plane donated by a foreign government into a highly secure mobile command center for the united states executive, following their unquestionably successful renovation of A Large Pool of Water

There are no technical or compliance reasons to double the size of symmetric keys in response to the threat of quantum computers. This common misunderstanding of Grover's algorithm risks wasting limited resources that should go towards deploying actually urgent post-quantum algorithms.

Quantum Computers Are Not a Threat to 128-bit Symmetric Keys
There is no need to update symmetric key sizes as part of the post-quantum transition, due to the details of how Grover's algorithm scales. Most authorities agree.

Tesla's 71% drop in profit compared to last year is obviously bad, but it's even worse than that number suggests because the company sold *more* regulatory credits this quarter than Q1 2024. If you take away the regulatory credits in both quarters the drop is actually 120% (into the red, to boot)

if they did this heavy-handed manipulation of how the platform worked in order to hurt Musk's critics, do you think they might have manipulated the platform in the run-up to the 2024 election, the election that Elon Musk said carried existential risk for him?

Good framing from AOC www.npr.org/transcripts/...
INSKEEP: Would you like a president to go in and break some china and mess things up, even if you don't like the way this president is trying to do that?

OCASIO-CORTEZ: I think when we talk about breaking things, messing things up - I mean, to the FAA? No. To the NIH? No. To our ability to contain Ebola before it gets on a plane and comes into the United States? No. I don't want someone being reckless. I actually don't want someone taking a wrecking ball to someone's chemotherapy to just see what happens.

Now, I do think that we can examine certain things like Medicare Advantage - that I think is a scam - that in the name of so-called efficiency, ironically enough, we have handed over huge amounts of health care disbursements to private insurers who are pocketing it. Sure, yeah, let's go after that. But I don't think we just destroy everything that we have worked so hard for as a country to become innovative, to become just, to have some of the only lifelines that people have in this country to a roof over their head or food in their children's stomach. No, I don't think that we gamble with that.

The power one person can hold in a small town is why we need exceptional journalism, and this is /exceptional/ journalism. A story of cowardice and bravery and greed and fucked up systems. Your Christmas presents this year from me is a large donation to propublica.
