As Detroit-area organizer with the National Union for Social Justice, Charlie Coughlin says he’s not sure how he’ll vote on election day, but one thing is clear: “They don’t understand how large the portions are at the cheesecake factory. I’m looking for someone who understands that aspect of it.”

We get a subexponential time algorithm for 3SAT and apparently the models couldn’t even find one little cryptanalysis result. I guess cryptographers have just been killing it!
