"Monitor J-Wave Tokyo, 81.3."

Quantum encryption isn't something quantum computers can even do. It's not just transforming bits into other bits, it's about building entirely new security properties based on physical properties of matter.

So, even if it is interesting for end users, they would need dedicated hardware anyway.

We used to drive bicycles when we were children. Then we started driving cars. Bicycles have two wheels, cars have four. Eight wheels seems to be the logical next step, why don't we drive eight-wheel vehicles?

The bot account itself. It appears to have been merely trolling, and the article seems to think it's actually a bot.

This is obviously fake, but I wouldn't doubt thousands of such bots actually exist.

I would try magick identify from imagemagick. If that doesn't work, I would try strings just to see if it has any metadata at all. Cameras usually store their model name somewhere.

They can always buy Premium for 299.95 per month.

The "15 to 17" part is worded somewhat confusingly, but it's not wrong.

The number of bits contained in a double is equivalent to ~15.95 decimal digits. If you want to store exactly a decimal number with a fixed number of significant digits, floor(15.95) = 15 digits is the most you can hope for. However, if you want to store exactly a double by writing it out as a decimal number, you need 17 digits.

This goes the other way too: don't wave someone unless you're completely sure it's safe. I wish more driving schools actually taught things like this.
