From what I understand they assume a user database with md5-hashed passwords may have leaked. Now md5 is outdated, bad and was never made for passwords, but still, there's no easy way to simply invert md5. So for this to have happened,

A lot has been invested in drugs. Most of them don't work. The best that was found was Dexamethasone, which reduces mortality in severe cases significantly. Generally medication for viral infections seems to be hard. There isn't m

> Also, the error bar on these effectiveness numbers are realistically probably +/- 5% or more, so it's not like a 76% is definitely worse than the 80%. But we're talking 91% vs. 76%.

It seems a lot of people don't really want to discuss this, but I think the facts are relatively clear: The mRNA vaccines have an effectiveness above 90% and none of the others comes close to that. Biontech and Moderna are so close to

So there's a problem we have with today's cryptography that we basically have to hope it's secure, but we can't proove it. It's basically "enough people looked at it, noone found a way to break it, it should be

That's not how this works. An attacker can record the key exchange. That is not using RSA, today it's usually some variation of elliptic curve diffie hellman. But that is just as vulnerable to quantum attacks as RSA. So you'r

Yes and kinda yes. There's a standardization process going on for post quantum cryptography at the US NIST. Results expected before the almighty RSA-breaking quantum computer arrives. There's still a concern about store-and-encryp

I'd be willing to bet a lot that it's not 5 years, and am still quite confident it's not 15. Of course nobody knows, but these things are still very far from anything that is running today.
