When I have seen time estimates, everyone is referring to Mosca's Theorem. This is the idea that "store now, decrypt later", combined with the estimated time until a working quantum cryptanalysis is feasible, and a finite tra

Dammit. This was also my first thought. Might consider it, if customs doesn't make it too expensive.

That sounds too negative. How about that: "The prize-winning Excel service is in high demand right now. We apologize for any delay this might cause. Do you want to become an 'Excel Prime Plus User' with preferential treatment

I don't understand what you mean. Half of the article is using jq.

It's mentioned and linked in the article. And "[i]t’s made by the same people that maintain Postgres.app."

I paid €0.80 for the app in 2014. Yes, that was a temporary discount, normal price was €2.99, I think. It is €3.99 now, single payment. I still wouldn't call that expensive.

I admit being a bit disappointed that a well-known disadvantage of web scraping was not mentioned: Web scraping is fragile! Web sites change, web frameworks evolve, and just some subtle reordering of some <divs> or renaming of CSS cla
