I'm literally about to throw up.John, if you were going to make CIA propaganda, why did you deny being a spy for years?You're making anti-Russian propaganda like a typical CIA agent. LOL Congratulations, by the way, you're very good at Russian.I've been trying to learn for years, I don't know as well as you do. https://twitter.com/cryptome_org/status/1521601710715715584?s=21&t=s53zd-it… What I'm most surprised at is that you don't have the courage to stand by what you write.Sorry forget this : typical cia agent’s behavior

Google said this week it is expanding the types of data people can ask to have removed from search results, to include personal contact information like your phone number, email address or physical address.

Quantum computers/hacking/encryption

https://www.science.org/content/article/worried-quantum-computers-will-supe… MATEJMO/ISTOCKSHARE: - Twitter - Linked In - Facebook - Reddit - Wechat - Email Quantum computers—exotic machines that can solve practical problems that would stymie any conventional supercomputer—remain years or decades away. However, yesterday President Joe Biden’s administration took a step to anticipate the eventual deployment of such machines. In a new national security memorandum, the White House instructs federal agencies to prepare to shift from the encryption algorithms used today to secure communications on the internet and other networks to new algorithms resistant to attack by a quantum computer. The memo envisions the shift beginning in 2024, when the first standard for such “post-quantum cryptography” should emerge, and being complete before 2035. Fortunately for internet companies, such postquantum cryptography will involve changes mostly in software. “You don’t need a quantum computer to implement these postquantum solutions,” says Dustin Moody, a mathematician with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Still, he says, “The transition should be quite challenging, as with any crypto transition that we’ve done.” Whereas a conventional computer processes information by flipping bits that can be set to 0 or 1, a quantum computer manipulates quantum bits or qubits that can be set to 0, 1, or, thanks to the weird rules of quantum mechanics, 0 and 1 at the same time. Such two-ways-at-once states enable a quantum computer to encode all possible solutions to certain problems as abstract quantum waves. Set things up right and, in the guts of the machine, the waves will interfere so that the incorrect solutions cancel one another, and the right solution pops out.

God-Emperor of the MIT Library

I met a traveler from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Daltonite, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

the characters of the mcboss comic have temporarily left reality, it looks kind of like a joke. i'm thinking on bringing them back to their reality quickly. maybe with more poignant spinoffs.
