When cleaning a cylinder (i.e. baby bottle or thermos), you can: quickly rinse it out, add some soapy water, and vigorously shake the cylinder. But how much soapy water by volume is most efficient?:
A) less than about 1/5
B) about 1/5
C) about 1/4

We should expect to eventually say "bye" to the days of public/private keys.
People requiring the utmost secrecy will need to meet ahead of time and set up a lengthy one-time pad for future communications.
This could be extended somewhat - though I have never seen it done - for trusted friends.

Will I be able to use my old Commodore MPS 801?

I imagine there will be an influx of people working for currency substitutes - not gold or silver - but beer, tobacco, and contraband. It will mostly be prepaid credit cards at the start until the feds put some sort of controls on those. If you want someone to build you a back deck with no receipts (i.e. under the table), you might have to supply him/her with something of value with which they can quietly raise rent and grocery money.

I had to reboot my Asus router to get it working again and wasn't sure what had happened - until now. I thought maybe its lifetime was nearing the end.

As a CPA in public practice, I see most small organizations using software that is taught in community college or the like. This makes it easy to find relatively inexpensive employees who know how to record most transactions.

I use GnuCash for my business, but sadly is not taught in school.

When I get financial information from clients - from whatever systems they use - I load it in to simple software I wrote twenty years ago and apply a series of journal entries to adjust their general ledger. I give them the list of entries, which they apply to their system and everything works fine.

I don't pay any accounting software fees.

Ubnuntu - followed the same procedures; 1,217,669

I have a 7th gen chip plugging away in a FreeNAS box. The MB manufacturer (ASUS) has a beta BIOS upgrade to allow the MB to work nicely with Windows 11. I expect the final BIOS upgrade will incorporate a fix for this escalation. [In case you're interested - the MB is a B250 mining expert, which spent one year trying to mine before being repurposed.]

I learned Pascal on a very old Mac (which was new at the time).
Maybe universities will go back to teaching Pascal.
It doesn't (or at least didn't) support Unicode.

My guess is that "cluster" will win out (as in cluster of stars).
But they're not sitting still.
They are dancing around each other in a complicated manner.

There may be some state-sponsored recipients (outside of Western justice) that would consider taking on these Bitcoin. If the wallet were cracked, it might even be one of them that did it.

I saw this article come up 5 - 10 minutes ago and somehow? there are no comments yet??

When people are taught to dance in a particular manner, their movements should be similar to each other.

If presented with a group of high-ranking Tai Chi masters, I imagine the algorithm would determine that each member of the group was the same person.

One must simply premultiply all of the integers (all the way to infinity and beyond!) and store them in a database. Then any multiplication call could be translated into a 2-parameter lookup call from the database. How long could that take?

Computer science should not be offered to a student unless the student is concurrently (or previously) enrolled in maths.

The memory work required to succeed in maths should be an asset to future programmers.

The logical thought processes taught in maths are required to properly understand CS.

The fields should be separated in the same way as they are for Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, ...

Why should CS be treated any differently?
