The $15 minimum wage push by unions is shockingly unethical when they also include a clause allowing for a wage to be negotiated lower than minimum wage as part of a union contact.

It's basically an effort to force the lowest paid most vulnerable workers to have no choice but to join a union if they want to be able to work at all.


I think investor preference for multiple founders is almost entirely because it makes it easier to make voting control of the company not be in the hands of a single founder they might disagree with. Two founders provides twice the opportunity to take control.


I think progress against ECC happens first. Because quantum computers exist. I'm not sure how large a problem they can work on yet.

ECC is used with smaller bit lengths which makes it easier to get a sufficient quantum computer.

Of course I may have a fundamental misunderstanding here, and if so, I'd love to be enlightened.


Quantum computing confuses every thread about RSA and ECC.

Shor threatens RSA and ECC. Neither RSA nor ECC are considered post-quantum schemes. If quantum computing is really your threat model, you want to be doing what Google did: run both a pre-quantum and a post-quantum key exchange and mix the results with a KDF.

Which post-quantum approach you choose, I don't care. (I'm a quantum computing skeptic).

What you do not want to do is build a cryptosystem using solely a post-quantum key exchange algorithm, or, even worse, try to build a cryptosystem without any asymmetric key exchange at all. In both cases, implementation errors --- some of which, in the latter case, are probably inevitable --- will doom your system immediately.
