> In his experience, van Rossum sees incompetent men’s ideas gaining acceptance more often than merited because they are more forceful in how they present them.

That's not only a problem between genders, but also between introverts and extroverts. I often find that the people who seem most confident have the least reason to be confident. Does anyone have thoughts on combating this?

> Is there a quantum computing-proof encryption algorithm

This is still an area of active research. For instance, there are learning-with-errors-based cryptosystems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_with_errors#Use_in_cr... But such systems are based on the assumption that "this type of problem is probably hard even with quantum computers". I believe we don't have anything more "quantum-proof" than that..

And of course, there are cryptosystems with unconditional security. Such as OTP.

Reminder: chroot is nice for separation, but insufficient for security. There are many ways to break out.

Because many of the rules are made on the EU level, not by the individual country.

> Keep an eye on data breaches with Monitor

This is fairly neat; For example, I browsed to the Datacamp website and was notified of a breach in 2017. But that must hurt for the company.

Still, it strongly incentivizes keeping high security standards, because now, customers will know. I like it.

How does it work? Did you crawl all those sites, or hook into an API, or are you simply using their search functionality? Something else?
