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

Nothing says "I'm an opportunistic grifter" better than a person being at times a member of the CCP and the NZ ACT party (libertarian right wing)

Worst thing about growing old* is having to find a new barber when they retire, after you've been going there for 5+ years. Happened again today.

* not actually the worst thing about growing old

Replying to @gregprice@sfba.social
@gregprice @djb my understanding of their logic is that they actually believe quantum computing is just around the corner and that ECC is already essentially worthless. This is not my opinion. More generally, I think it is poor risk management to not consider a wider range of possible futures.

@light the bet is on whether RSA-2048 challenge is factored first by classical or quantum computer

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
