Quantum computing is often discussed in terms of its potential to revolutionize scientific discovery and to challenge cryptographic paradigms [1], but it could also change our relationship with money. By using quantum states, quantum currency could solve the double-spending problem and address throughput issues associated with distributed ledgers (blockchain), paving the way for the digital cash of the future.

The Biden-Era Plan to Pay Travelers for Airline-Caused Delays Is Dead

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-13 14:39:00

For a brief moment, it looked like US travelers might finally get automatic cash when an airline's own problems wrecked their plans. The Department of Transportation, under former President Joe Biden, drafted a rule requiring carriers to pay passengers at least $200 and up to $775 for the longest holdups. The compensation would cover meals, hotels, ground transport and rebooking when disruptions were within the airline's control. But no longer. On Sept. 5, the Trump administration's DOT offici

Venezuela’s president thinks American spies can’t hack Huawei phones

During a press conference on Monday, Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, showed off a Huawei smartphone that China’s President Xi Jinping gifted him, calling it “the best phone in the world,” and making a bold claim. “The Americans can’t hack it, neither their spy planes, nor their satellites,” Maduro said. The phone looked like a Mate X6, a foldable phone released by Huawei in 2024. Obviously, nothing is impossible to hack, and even less so by U.S. government hackers, who are considered s
