The community college I'm attending a class in online uses Proctorio. The rules say that we shouldn't wear headphones during the tests because we could be getting answers through the headset.

I'm taking a foreign language class, and part of the tests involves listening to spoken words. I don't own computer speakers, so how am I supposed to follow that rule? I'd have to buy speakers for just Proctorio.

They really should use quantum-resistant algorithms alongside a traditional algorithm for now so that you have to crack both. Quantum algorithms are very new compared to our old favorites. One of the NIST finalists for quantum-resistant crypto was cracked using classical computing near the end of the standardization process, highlighting the danger of relying on these alone.

Wake me when I can factor 1024-bit RSA keys. The Nintendo DSi and I have unfinished business.

I'm a pessimist, so I'm guessing--with no evidence--that we will find out that keeping N qubits coherent requires energy exponential in N, meaning that quantum computers are mostly useless.
