I'll have to discuss it with by bowling team tonight after the game in the bar.........
It means you’ll be able to balance your checkbook in minutes instead of taking an entire Saturday afternoon...
Let me know what you guys decide...
It will impact your computer security. If, what used to be impossible equations or random numbers to solve for computers that kept your computer safe, how can they make your computer safe when it takes a second for anything you could use to secure your computer to be broken?
Basically, you’re gonna get pop up ads 120 times faster.
LOL...But it's already been discussed..."quantum computing...120 times faster than previously possible"...
We're going too fast...Things are getting out of hand. We're
putting men into situations that are too tough for men to handle.
Almost all of the modern world's computer security is based on some math problems that no matter how fast conventional computers get, will remain unsolvable in a lifetime.
In very generic terms, it boils down to the fact that when you multiply two large prime numbers, it is difficult to factor them (figure out which two large prime numbers that you used).
A quantum computer, in theory, can attack the factoring large prime number problem in ways that conventional computers can't. If they are able to factor large prime numbers sufficiently fast, the person or organization using that computer can also break encryption keys and blockchains. Basically anything that resembled computer privacy (or cryptocurrency for that matter) would be visible and accessible to that person or organization. It's a pretty immense jump in capabilities (in theory), and represents a capability that would be very powerful in today's world, potentially more powerful than a nuclear arsenal.
Even you should know to stay away from the ‘cloud’...
