There's nothing really controversial here given the size of the population in China. It's a big country with a very good education system, so it's not difficult for China to put together an espionage network that's on a bigger scale than what the west is capable of.
and we see the effects of that already unfortunately
I'd also add The Platform, I personally liked it a lot better than Snow-Piercer
That makes sense yeah, China's reserve of dollars can be used to facilitate dollar trade in cases where other currency settlements aren't possible.
We're seeing the same thing happening in Ukraine today as well. All the wunderwaffe from the west failed spectacularly, while Russia's ability to produce basic things like mass artillery shells is winning the war.
Exactly, this method scales with the size of the quantum computer, so we could see RSA broken within a decade. And this technique could apply to a lot of other existing algorithms. The key part to keep in mind is that there is a lot of encrypted data that has been collected already that people simply had no way to decrypt. So, there are retroactive consequences here as well.
Sure, it will be interesting to see how long it takes to scale up.
To be clear, they factored a 22-bit RSA integer. this is impressive and noteworthy, but it doesn’t mean that RSA is fully broken yet as most RSA key-pairs are 2048 or 4096 bits.
under late stage capitalism he should be in debt up to his ears at the end
it's stiff competition
the most democratic country in europe
Indeed, it's incredibly well done.
