  • This argument suggests that one day we’ll be able to brute force into lost wallets when we can break the encryption. Who knows how far in the future that will be.

    Nobody knows if a quantum computer is actually possible to build, but in theory, if a quantum computer is built, RSA would be exponentially easier to crack.

  • Its possible some country or corporation has built a secret quantum computer with enough qbits to run Shor's Algorithm. But if its a secret, we wouldn't know about it.

    Eventually all the "lost" wallets will bet cracked by quantum computers.

  • I get that however Taiwan the island wasn’t even part of China at the time that the ROC retreated/invaded it.

    Taiwan was under Qing Rule until the Japanese took it. Then when Imperial Japan lost, they gave Taiwan back to ROC in 1945.

    So it would be sorta like Texas fleeing to Mexico then the US wanting to invade Mexico “to make the US into one country again”.

    No, it's be more like Japan taking Hawaii during WW2, then Japan loses and the US regains it, then immediately after, the US has a civil war between people who believe in the constitution vs a neo-nazi insurgency. The neo-nazi insurgency wins and the US government then flees to Hawaii. Then the neo-nazi insurgent-government in continental US is trying to regain Hawaii, while those who fled to Hawaii is trying to declare a "Republic of Hawaii" in order to preserve their democracy.

  • I googled a bit, my best bet is Canada.

    Large population of the Chinese diaspora, so I don't feel too much like a minority (I am Chinese American).

    The other choice is Australia.

    EU is great, but since the UK isn't in EU anymore, I'd have to chose a non-English country, meaning, I'd have to learn another language. My brain can't handle that. Already have 3 spoken and 2 written languages stuck in my head (mostly dormant, haven't used some those languages for a while), I think my brain will explode if I try to learn more. Population of the Chinese diaspora is too small. So I'd also feel alone, because like... Imagine living in a place where nobody looks like you. Like a Black American kid in the deep south of the US and all your classmates are white, that's how it feels basically. As for the UK, I wouldn't need to learn another language, but UK just had a xenophobic riot in 2024, doesn't seem too friendly in my opinion. If the UK was in EU, I could just pack up and to go another EU country if Shit Hits the Fan, its what I like about the EU, options. But too bad UK isn't in EU...

    There is also Singapore, which has like over 70% ethnic Chinese, and the official languages include English and Mandarin, which I already know.

    Not technically "dream countries", but the most realistic countries that would be livable for me. Because I doubt I can speak Norweigian or Finnish. (Even tho I would love those countries)

    TLDR: As a Chinese American, Canada as first choice, Australia as second place. Then probably Sinapore.

    (Sorry if I'm rambling, can't express it coherently since ICE raids are on my mind)

    Edit: I would probably also say Taiwan as an option, well... other than the fact that they are constantly on the verge of getting invaded, and I am not fond of the CCP.

  • When in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.

    We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.

  • Taiwan should be part of China. Taiwan has been ruled by China since the Qing Dynasty.

    A Democratic China, that is, not this CCP infested bullshit.

    Had the ROC won the Civil War, I doubt anyone would complain about China having HK, Macau, and Taiwan.

    For most westerners, the support for Taiwan Independence is mostly a democracy vs autocracy issue, not a independence vs re-unification issue.
