Canada shuts down corporate watchdog. Critics say its replacement lacks teeth
When the Canadian government earlier this year shut down its independent watchdog responsible for investigating alleged human rights abuses including environmental pollution by Canada-based companies operating overseas, it promised that a little-known office called the National Contact Point would take over that work. But critics say the National Contact Point, which has operated for more […]

A new analysis by the firm S3 Partners has found that short interest in the S&P 500 is now the highest it’s been since the company began compiling that data in 2010, Business Insider reports.
In all, S3 found that roughly 3.7 percent of the S&P’s free float
— meaning the total market value of shares available to the public for trading

Sonnet 084 - LXXXIV
Who is it that says most, which can say more,

Once quantum computing becomes practical
(estimates for that range from 3 to 20 or more years),
the foundational security it provides will crumble.
New research has revealed a novel method that uses classical computing to reduce the current RSA security level to an unacceptably low threshold.
