Sorry to hear that Sam Neill has died. Jurassic Park, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Peaky Blinders, The Piano etc. Plus I've drunk a few glasses of his Two Paddocks Pinot Noir wine in recent years. A true Kiwi icon and decent bloke. RIP

Worst thing about growing old* is having to find a new barber when they retire, after you&#39;ve been going there for 5+ years. Happened again today. * not actually the worst thing about growing old

In light of recent events, I would like to mention that I am one of the official witnesses to a bet made in 2014 between two very famous cryptographers regarding classical vs quantum algorithms to factor RSA-2048. The bet becomes void in August 2032 if the number is not factored. The loser has to buy the winner a bottle of fine scotch whiskey
