In a bizarre turn of events, Microsoft has removed a green hat from the Visual Studio 2019 installer. The company quietly removed the graphic from Visual Studio installer after it offended people in China. Next we'll go after those red polo shirts

I'd bet a whole 50 cents that not one person in China was offended (because WTF has an IDE installer got to do with cuckolding? Who would even look at it that way? I guarantee that Chinese devs wouldn't), but, instead, it's a typically cretinous ms marketing ploy.

Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology teamed up with colleagues from the U.S. and Switzerland and returned the state of a quantum computer a fraction of a second into the past. How did they get the quantum computer up to 88 miles an hour?

The marketing-style waffle of the article doesn't, by any means, cover the fact that it's talking bollocks.
You could do the same by holding the winkey and hitting R, then typing "rstrui" -- or, indeed, by hitting Ctrl+Z -- and then swaddling it in fancy talk and illogical explanations.
"Going forward through time to a previous state" != "Going back in time".
Mind you, should we expect people who can't tell their "packs" from their "pyramids" to be able to tell their @rses from their elbows?

In other words, "Undo" is not actually going back in time.

Don't know who Grumpy Old Scribe is, but he seems to have fixated on a closed system . . . to which I mean he wrote a story for himself . . . which feeds his (her?) own version of the complaint needing a remedy. Along, alas, with some logic that, well, isn't logical.*
On the other hand - much of it is a nice writing style - so you post wasn't wasted.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yes, but "quantum bullshit". It's both 'bull' and '$h1t' at the same time.

Multiple CAs have misissued over 1.2 million TLS certs with weak 63-bit serial numbers, instead of the standard of 64 bits. 63 bits ought to be enough for everyone

Except even using 64-bits, half the certificates would have zero for the top bit. So how do you tell the difference between a random number without the top bit set and a random number with the top bit forced to 0?
|
|
|
|
|
Easy! Use the bottom bit as a boolean flag to indicate which condition it is! 
|
|
|
|
|
...and don't forget another bit for parity - so we're down to 61 bits already?
