Court could consider whether Trump interfered in cloud computing contract

The glass spheres outside Amazon’s headquarters in Seattle, Sept. 25, 2019. [Grant Hindsley/The New York Times] A federal court said on Wednesday that it did not dismiss the possibility that former President Donald Trump interfered in the awarding of a military cloud-computing contract worth $10 billion, a decision that could result in the overhaul of a long-running effort to modernize technology at the Defense Department. The decision could be a victory for Amazon, which claimed it was passed over during contract deliberations because of Trump’s animosity toward its founder, Jeff Bezos. But the Defense Department has hinted that it would scrap the contract altogether if litigation over it dragged on, evaporating Amazon’s chance to secure the multibillion-dollar deal. The 10-year contract for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure,...

Kangaroo Court: Quantum Computing – Thinking on the Future | Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists (ACEDS)

The promise of quantum computers is that certain computational tasks might be executed exponentially faster on a quantum processor than on a classical processor. Quantum computing is a beautiful fusion of quantum physics with computer science. It incorporates some of the most stunning ideas of physics from the twentieth century into an entirely new way of thinking about computation. Quantum computers have the potential to resolve problems of a high complexity and magnitude across many different industries and application, including finance, transportation, chemicals, and cybersecurity. Solving the impossible in a few hours of computing time. Quantum computing is often in the news: China teleported a qubit from earth to a satellite; Shor’s algorithm has put our current encryption methods at risk; quantum key distribution will make encryption...
