For Data we are OK but for sigs etc. we use ECC which is not OK. Over time that will have to change to lattice or similar, but so does most of the world.
Looks like a great fit for Maidsafe!! 
“I work for MaidSafe, but this is my personal site”
Google have so much power.
I saw an interview with Mark Cuban where he said he does not give money to charity to make himself feel better. He prefers to use his money to fix what is broken in the world for the benefit of all. (That’s is not verbatim)
Anyway he talked about starting a drug company to compete with the scandalous extreme profit seeking criminal pharmaceutical companies.
The goal of his drug company is to be self sustained but not for profit.
This drug company has now launched an online pharmacy.
The pharmacy claims to offer significant savings, with several prescription drugs reportedly at more than half the cost of the next most affordable option. For instance, leukemia treatment imatinib has a retail price of $9,657 a month, according to MCCPDC, compared to $120 with a common voucher. Its price through the new company, however, is just $47 per month.
Smart people giving money to less smart people doesn’t make sense. If you have generated a lot of wealth you are probably quite good a solving problems obviously not exclusively.
wow, this surprised me …
I think if you asked most people if they could make their own computer chips in their garage, they’d say it’s impossible … but: This 22-Year-Old Builds Semiconductors in His Parents' Garage - Slashdot
Never underestimate what humans can do if they have a strong desire to do it.
From the semiconductor link.
but I have a mentality that another human figured it out, so I can too
I think the hard part is taking the leap of imagination, and figuring out that something is possible (SAFENetwork is doing work in this zone).
Once you see it is possible and someone else has done it, figuring it out is a little easier - but
still a great achievement.
His second chip has 200 times as many transistors as his first, a growth rate outpacing Moore’s law, the rule of thumb coined by an Intel cofounder that says the number of transistors on a chip doubles roughly every two years.
I have always thought Moore’s law is more of a marketing law. I think this person will continue to make fast progress.
Hello community, my first message here to say hello. I started today at MaidSafe as Head of Policy and Governance. I’m currently doing my onboarding and background reading, and hope to speak with lots of you in the upcoming months.
Hi Heather, I’ve followed you on Twitter for a while so very pleased that you not only found a new job, but came to work on my favourite project. Welcome and good luck.
Its often used that way and mis-quoted too. Moore’s law was based on the current processes at the time and related to the complexity/# of transistors Not capacity or abilities of the chip.
It took the rate of reductions in photographic etchings, and innovation of the black magic people running the machines. Also management was reluctant to attempt greater reductions too quick. Get current tech in place then work on improving it, which was sensible as the main goal was to produce chips and SELL them so profits were made and further improvements could be funded.
So taking all that into consideration we saw for many years this rate being maintained. Part tech improvements and part realities of manufacturing producing reliable profits.
NAND technology has destroyed Moore’s law. SSDs went from max of 512GB to 2TB to 100 TB within 2 years after money was poured into NAND research & production. Also now with 3D chips the basis for Moore’s law is no longer. HEAT is the limiting factor now.
Welcome @Heather_Burns to the community forum and to Maidsafe as an employee. I’ve heard its a great company to work for.
The forum has a Introduction topic where people can introduce themselves and if they want give some background. Would love to see an introduction in there if you’re happy to say something, as much or as little as you wish.
Welcome Heather – Thanks for joining Maidsafe!
Apparently I’m also following @Heather_Burns on Twitter, and I didn’t even know about you coming to work for Maidsafe. Good stuff! Welcome!
JWST will be reaching (and hopefully settling into position) at L2 today! 
Wow! That was interesting!
bad news for SoftBank: it’s planned deal to sell its Arm subsidiary to Nvidia - once billed as “the biggest semiconductor deal ever” - is falling apart as the two companies have failed to win approval from global regulators.
