Firstly Tor now Google… It's not hard to guess which department he's working in. He didn't like his old coworkers' code skills! LOL It never surprised me that an ex-Tor employee works on Google. They deceived the people who work for privacy and little by little by little…

the achievments of the vaccine nazis - the 'aids' 'vaccine'
by Punk-BatSoup-Stasi 2.0 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

" “We hope to have . . . a vaccine ready for testing in about two years.” Heckler was off the mark by a third of a century and counting. In the intervening decades, the federal government spent well over half of a trillion dollars on AIDS. Dr. Fauci has dedicated much of that moolah to his quest for an elusive vaccine to immunize people against HIV. Dr. Fauci pumped our money into nearly 100 vaccine candidates, with none of these coming even close to the finish line. All these disappointments never darkened Dr. Fauci’s buoyant optimism that he will soon collar that retreating horizon.

Notebookcheck.net: Scientists estimate that quantum computers may become powerful enough to crack the Bitcoin encryption in a decade

Notebookcheck.net: Scientists estimate that quantum computers may become powerful enough to crack the Bitcoin encryption in a decade. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Scientists-estimate-that-quantum-computers-ma… Mark Webber and a group of scientists from the University of Sussex calculated that it would take a quantum processor with 1.9 billion qubits to effectively crack the Bitcoin encryption, and this is most likely not going to happen in the next 10 years, giving Bitcoin core developers enough time to make the code quantum-resistant.Bogdan Solca, 02/03/2022 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 ...Cryptocurrency Science Security Quantum computers are now a thing and many research teams across the world are competing to constantly improve the efficiency and computing power of this new breed of number crunching machines. Back in the mid-2010s, when most researchers were pushing for quantum supremacy over traditional computers, some pointed out that qubits may eventually be used to crack the most sophisticated encryption algorithms in existence, including the SHA-256 one used by cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. This realization was recently reinforced by Mark Webber and the Ion Quantum Technology team of scientists from the University of Sussex, who calculated what it really takes to break the Bitcoin encryption system and a ballpark estimate of when that could happen. The SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) cluster of cryptographic functions was created by the US NSA in the early 2000s. Bitcoin uses the 256-bit version to encrypt all transactions that need to be verified by the mining network before their addition to the blockchain. This is also called proof-of-work consensus because the miners essentially validate how the bitcoin amounts coming from each block are distributed based on the contribution to cracking the cryptographic key assigned to each transaction. The miner or group of miners who succeeds in cracking the key first claims the majority of the bitcoin rewarded per block. Webber and his team calculated that the fastest quantum computer currently online deployed by IBM with a processing power of 127 qubits is still far from cracking the SHA-256 algorithm in a reasonable time frame. In order to lower the time frame to around 1 hour, the quantum computer would need to harness the power of 317 million qubits, but that will still not be nearly enough to fully crack the code. As Webber puts it, “the transactions get announced and there’s a key associated with that transaction. There’s a finite window of time when that key is vulnerable and that varies, but it’s usually around 10 minutes to an hour, maybe a day.” Cracking the code in a 10-minute window actually requires a processor with 1.9 billion qubits.

Documentary: Crossfire (2020, Southern)
by grarpamp 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

https://laurensouthern.net/documentaries/crossfire/ Crossfire analyzes issues around policing, brutality, race, law and order in a time when America is ablaze and divided. Half the nation rallies to support demoralized officers, and the other half demands reform and even calls for disbanding the police. Indeed, many in the latter group don’t join the debate at all, but instead violently riot in the streets. Lost in this cacophany are some very real questions: What is the actual data around crime and policing? Does poverty cause crime? Are police really responsible for mass abuses of minorities? Who are these radicals rioting in the streets and what do they want? Watch Crossfire Watch Trailer Get Crossfire DVD
