I’m out of the loop. How does Huawei (PRC) sanctions end up negatively affecting TSMC (ROC) sales?

The NIST post quantum competition is for a replacement to diffie Hellman key agreement only. TLS doesn’t need signatures for that.

More recent segwit-native addresses on bitcoin use SHA256 only.

Unfortunately the work being done on post quantum cryptography is mostly on the topic of symmetric key agreement (since that is what TLS needs), and cryptocurrencies need digital signature and/ zero knowledge proof systems. There is co

Quite the contrary, I suspect that telling the details would be illegal. The ME engine predates Snowden and is widely believed in the security community to be subject to NSA meddling. It may be that Intel is the recipient of a NSL preventin

I’m not sure if this is sarcasm or not. If you are genuinely curious, the answer is “no.”

Not middle class. That include plumbers, mechanics, and other skilled technicians that really do have to work hard for their living. SV is stuffed full of upper-middle-class, a category that is more different than the name would imply. Thes

Why do you think we have any control or say over the situation?

That doesn't matter. You don't get claim something which is clearly false in commonsensical interpretation, but get away with it because the fine print. You can't say "the sky is green[1]" and then in footnote [1] s

That's not a limitation. There is absolutely no reason to have a Turing-complete language in bitcoin. This can even be proved from first principles: bitcoin, and blockchains generally exist to validate the execution of contracts which
