Moving from SHA-1 to SHA-2 took ~20 years - and that's the "happy path", because SHA-2 is a drop-in replacement.

The post-quantum transition is more complex: keys and signatures are larger; KEM is a cryptographic primitive with a different interface; stateful signature algorithms require special treatment for state handling. It can easily take more than 20 years.

Regulators require a transition to quantum-safe algorithms. In the EU, systems labeled as "highly important" must complete the transition by 2030; so you have to do it regardless of how quantum computers evolve.

The ambiguity goes away if you write them as "все" and "всё". Diacritics, accents, umlauts and cedillas are useful; if you omit them you do a disservice to the reader.

Could you elaborate more on the "a small VPS is free"? Except Oracle's free tier offer, I am not aware of others; I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.

If you're in the EU:

Leverage the GDPR and contact Google's DPO (Data Protection Officer) to inform them about the problem. If the problem is not solved or there is no reaction, lodge a complaint with the DPA (Data Protection Authority).

Record, produce transcript, look for keywords, alert the puppeteer when something interesting is picked up - trade secrets, pre-shared keys, defense sector intelligence, etc.

I'd like to give it a try, but it is not compatible with my device. Is there a reason for it not to work on a Galaxy Note8?

Excellent client, but Windows only.

How would you approach this problem https://github.com/pyasn1/pyasn1/issues/55?

There is a library called `pyasn1`, the author passed away and there are some challenges, such as intimidatingly long error messages that are not easy to interpret, or counter-intuitive behaviour of some of the functions in its API.

Do you have any tips for approaching this with the few resources that are available?

I take a similar approach in this children's book: https://github.com/ralienpp/book-two. In the end there is a section about the trees* that grow in the area, their leaves and fruits - so kids can learn to identify them. I'll incorporate some of these materials in the next iterations of the book.

The first link in the repo readme is for the on-screen PDF, you can look at the pictures.

* One of the characters in the story uses trees to figure out where they are and find their way back home.

I had a similar experience as a child. I cried every day morning before school. This continued until I was switched to another school.

Both schools were regular ones, and in both cases - there wasn't any bullying. I don't remember what the problem was, but the fact is that going to a different place had a great effect.

In your particular case, it could be the change itself that had an impact, rather than the "Montessorinness" of the new school. Also, consider the Hawthorne effect - it could also explain the situation.

Looking back at those times, 30 years ago, I really cannot tell why I didn't feel well in the environment managed by with my first primary school teacher. She was a decent lady, she treated her pupils with respect and never shouted at us, or anything of that sort.

> Many Germany have friendships with people from Ukraine. I myself have several in my wider social circle.

Not sure that's a good argument. Many in Germany also have friendships with people from Russia. Would that automatically mean that Germany has to support Russia? I doubt it.

Considering that both of you are who you are, I recommend "A miracle in the Andes".

Thanks for recommending "438 days" - I'm adding it to my list. And yes, I really enjoyed "Unbroken".
