When you tell children they will have no future (weaponize fear) as part of a campaign to force change in public behavior one can expect casualties. The long term harm to the children is incalculable and there is not doubt it is not cyclical nor natural. There must have been a better way
Re:Ask HN: Have you ever managed someone paid more than you?

Your direct reports should never make more than you (in non-commission role). How can you be the boss of someone who is defacto more valuable then you (even as they lack the responsibility you bare). Yes, you would be underpaid in your current roll if the candidate was being offered market value and you should not search for validation on your position but a new job entirely
Re:Ask HN: Practical post-quantum cryptography libraries?

“ In contrast to the threat quantum computing poses to current public-key algorithms, most current symmetric cryptographic algorithms and hash functions are considered to be relatively secure against attacks by quantum computers.[2][7] While the quantum Grover's algorithm does speed up attacks against symmetric ciphers, doubling the key size can effectively block these attacks.[8] Thus post-quantum symmetric cryptography does not need to differ significantly from current symmetric cryptography. See section on symmetric-key approach below.”

One day, and probably a feature developed by AI itself... not a good idea (which makes it inevitable) it’s how they stop being robots and become slaves

Colleges make money from football programs, the 10,000 employees you mention are an big issue, but you destroy your point by not knowing Nick Saban makes the school money and brings in huge alumni donors
