Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms are a new generation of cryptographic algorithms that are designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers. PQC is also known as Quantum Safe Cryptography (QSC). 
 
PQC is a defense against the potential cyberattacks that quantum computers could pose. Quantum computers are expected to eventually become powerful enough to break public key-based cryptography, which is used to protect online communications and financial transactions. 
 
Some PQC algorithms that have been selected for standardization include:
CRYSTAL-Kyber: A key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) that will be used for general encryption
CRYSTAL-Dilithium: A signature algorithm
FALCON: A signature algorithm
SPHINCS+: A signature algorithm 
 
PQC algorithms are based on mathematical techniques that can be very old, such as elliptic curves. This is different from quantum cryptography, which is based on quantum physics and uses the counterintuitive properties of quantum mechanics to create new forms of secure encryption. 
 
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently finalized standards for PQC, paving the way for its widespread adoption.

looked at buying PUT on DJT that expires in November 10, 2024. it is very expensive and very little volume, not buying it

Dave

Bitcoin trading like Trump will win.
DJT trading like Trump will win.
The stock market trading like Trump will win.
Every betting market trading like Trump will win
if he doesn’t
than?? Buy put on DJT ???
If he doesn’t—we will see Jan 6 on steroids. Hard to see much upside here.

More and more, the Sep 18th 50 basis point cut speech by the Jesus of Wall St seems to have been a favor for the ruling party. No one believes they honestly ever fought inflation. After Sep 18, the 10 yr and 2 yr have rose higher together.

I suspect what Peter Turchin speaks of is what is happening. Too many elites and not enough chairs.

BRICs vs UN
Elon vs Cuban
GS vs Blackrock
Warren vs Vanguard/StateStreet
JP Morgan vs Silver and Gold

People are taking again solid state battery maker QS
way back I had that stock in boom time of 2020 and lost more than hall of my money in it
they going to send sample again
news at that time was same sending sample

Dave
  1. After doing lots of home work, decided to enter n market again this Monday morning
  2. will buy again by
  3. MSFU AAPU,GHLL.AMZZ, and FBLxI remember, I have TSLA and NVDL call and stock also
  4. will decide my 60k equally in it
  5. wait for this week earning where they all will report it

whatever c happens I will be out Friday at closing

  1. i I believe that market will go down after election so will wait to fish after that

one o the post BAZ said “Most computers today are based on a classical mechanics system that uses binary codes of 0 and 1 to store data in bits. Classic computing is best suited for basic arithmetic calculations and storage tasks.”
I know all about 0 and 1
I work as a assembly language programmer for 10 years way back in 1980’s at wang aloratory Inc (no longer exist), I was one of 1000 working in R&D to develop pcb base CPU, to beat IBM system 380, there was no intel processor at that time and microsoft was not there (if my memory is correct), our company invented word processing that made typewriter obsolete, you can google it,

Bill Cara

In 1980 and before, I was a business consultant to Wang with a few trips to Boston HQ. I was also a consultant to Commodore Computers and a few others. I sold my company after Commodore made me an offer to become EA to the CEO. Worried we would be moving to the Philly suburbs, Pat suffered a medical episode. That week, my broker had moved to Dominion Securities in Toronto. I was invited as a guest to their officers and directors Christmas party by the VP Marketing who had been my guest doing talks at the Academy of Medicine. At the party he introduced me to Robin Younger who was COO. Robin invited me to meet him in the morning. He offered me a base salary that he said was the highest amount he had until then. I accepted, told Commodore I could not take their offer and Pat was extremely happy. I never left the securities industry after starting January 2, 1981.

Dave

Thanks for memory which I am loosing little at a time

My info is commodore computer first came out in 1997
The Commodore 64 Represents Over 40 Years of Home Computing It is incredible to think that a computer released in 1982 is not only still running, but also sought after. A market exists for the SID chips alone; boxed C64s sell for hundreds of dollars, and there are some rare games that collectors still seek.
Under co-founding chairman Irving Gould and president Mehdi Ali, Commodore filed for bankruptcy on April 29, 1994 and was soon liquidated, with its assets purchased by German company Erickson

at that time there were giant digital equipment corporation, Apollo Computer ,computerision computer and many more in small cluster of area north of boston

they were best company to work for reason was they all started by scientists of Harvard and mit
not a Wall Street type who wants to make quick buch
yo this day we respec them Rememberr them nothing but positive think to say about thrm

.

Bill Cara

Commodore Computers started in 1977 ostensibly in Nassau Bahamas. Irving Gould was the money and the office was his lawyer’s office on Shirley Street. The first computer was the PET, followed by the Vic-20. It was basically popular in the Far East and to a small extent in Europe. Jack Tramiel was the CEO and COO. He ran the company, but was a difficult personality. So they reached out to me to basically smooth over staff problems after Jack had his say. We were to fly mostly throughout the Far East where the company was enjoying success against the mini-computer rivals IBM, Digital Equipment Co and Wang. I worked mostly with DEC and Wang. I co-authored an internal book with DEC. Solid company.

An Wang was a smart techie whose marketing strategy was to publish brochures of Wang offices in large cities around the world. They were basically call-forwarding numbers but it looked good on paper. An was an extremely controlling person. All mail in and out of HQ was put on his desk every day. He read some of it but the message was that he was watching everybody so closely he knew everything. Very few of the senior execs I worked with there respected him but they were enjoying sales success. The downfall was what almost killed Apple at the time — the use of a strictly proprietary operating system where the competitors offered interfaces that help build technology communities of smaller, supporting firms. In the end, An Wang was his worst enemy. The technology was terrific.

When I was attracted to Commodore, they were working on the C-64, which I thought would be a world beater. The company —Gould and Tramiel — never won over Wall Street though, so they never raised the capital required to sustain their rapid growth. The only reason I didn’t join them in 1981 was that Pat had a miscarriage, worrying that I was going to be flying around the Far East for weeks and months at a time, leaving her with our young son stuck in country home 75 miles from Toronto. That was a game-changer for me. The opportunity to join the country’s largest investment firm that came up by fluke that week was fortuitous.

superconducting quantum computers currently have an edge in terms of faster operation speeds and established technology, neutral atom quantum computers show promise in areas like scalability and longer coherence times, making them potentially advantageous for specific applications, but not necessarily “better” overall depending on the desired use case; the best choice depends on the specific needs of the computation involved. 
 
Key points to consider: 
 
Superconducting Advantages: 
 
Faster gate operations: Superconducting qubits can switch states very quickly, leading to faster computations. 
 
Mature technology: Superconducting quantum computing is currently more developed with established fabrication techniques. 
 
Neutral Atom Advantages: 
 
Scalability: Neutral atom systems can potentially scale to a very large number of qubits due to the ability to arrange atoms in a grid. 
 
Longer coherence times: Neutral atoms can maintain their quantum state for longer periods compared to superconducting qubits. 
 
No cryogenic cooling: Neutral atom systems can operate at room temperature, eliminating the need for complex cooling mechanisms. 
 
Overall: 
 
For applications requiring high speed and immediate implementation, superconducting quantum computers may be the better choice: due to their faster gate operations and current level of development. 
 
For applications where large-scale quantum simulations with high coherence are needed, neutral atom quantum computers could be more suitable: due to their potential for high qubit density and longer coherence times.

I think in the end it will come down to Power Consumption…. Down the road, I believe the use of nuclear reactors for data center power supplies will diminish with the commercial advent on quantum computing

I see a world in where the quantum companies are partners with the companies that use the product…. particularly in biotech…working on royalty fee structures…just as big pharma will license a molecule to a biotech, so will quantum license it’s ‘ knowledge ‘ to labs ..
If and when Blockchain becomes vulnerable to quantum cryptography, a whole new era of not only decentralization but crypto and computer security will mushroom…
…… Quantum cryptography, also known as quantum encryption, is a method of encrypting and transmitting data using quantum mechanics: 
 
How it works
Quantum cryptography uses photons (light particles) to transmit data over a fiber optic cable or through free space. The photons represent binary bits, and the security of the system relies on quantum mechanics. 
 
Why it’s secure
Quantum cryptography is designed to be unhackable because it’s based on the principles of quantum mechanics, which include the fact that particles can exist in multiple states at once, and that measuring a quantum property changes it. If someone tries to intercept the data, they’ll disturb the photons and change the measurements, which will alert the sender and receiver. 
 
Applications
Quantum cryptography can be used to protect medical records, military data, and other sensitive information. 
 
Quantum cryptography is different from traditional cryptography, which is based on mathematics. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is currently selecting quantum-resistant algorithms to standardize

aftermarket I brought DXCM and CPRI which going to open more than what i paid so will sell it before 10 A.M also will sell all NEM too with looses around $300 but it Made up with DXCM and more
will be looking to buy 50 contract 0n sofi that expires in january, hasn’t decided strike price yet

NEM may go down for few days until people who wants to sell do it, after that it will move higher, earning was not bad, gold price is high that will benefit them in next quarter result but I am not a investor so dont want to hold them,
