It will become an interesting year in very many ways. I feel there are three challenges worth mentioning for 2019 * Intensifying economic challenges across the world * Stress factor technological challenges rising * Socio-Political challenges to deal with the global development Let me shed some light on those challenges. Intensifying economic challenges across the […]

I’m a Crypto […]

Hyper smart applets In 1996 we were trying to design hyper-smart applets (applets was concept in […]
I just saw an interesting video on YouTube that helped me understand quantum computing – at least it is now easier to pretend I know :).
