I have to download an app to confirm the reservation?

wait, you're actually using encrypted email? Is it for work or you use it with friends/family too?

I've never received an encrypted email in my entire life.

Ah yes, that's Android for ya.

Nice article!

You seem to be missing the word "by" in the table introducing threat T04. Also, the threat summary table uses ✅ and ❌ in a way that was counterintuitive to me: initially I thought ✅ meant the encryption approach protects against the threat.

A bigger issue IMO is how you describe email encryption in transit as a matter of fact, but according to Google transparency report[1] there are still domains that do not support in transit encryption, and, what's worse, when you send an email you can't tell if it will be encrypted or not.

The T in "ninja" is silent. Silent and invisible.

There are two ways to create a resume today. One option is to use a resume template, such as an office/google doc, and customize it according to your needs. The other option is to use a resume builder, an online tool that allows you to input your information and automatically generates a resume for you.

Using a resume template requires manual formatting work, like copying and pasting text sections and adjusting spacing, which can be time-consuming and error-prone.

Me just using LaTeX[1] with hundreds of templates[2] with no formatting problems for 18 years now...

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 "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.
