gollark: I think that if the price does go massively higher, people will just talk about how important it is and how everyone needs an education and stuff, and it'll be subsidized somehow and/or you'll just have to take out giant loans, instead of just not doing college.
gollark: I'm reading through the backlogs here.
gollark: It's possible to brute-force encryption in theory, but modern crypto makes this very impractical to do given constraints like the available size of the universe and stuff.
gollark: <@!692654568827387986> I'm pretty sure you're wrong about encryption here. You can't just magically decrypt stuff without the key. Encrypted data you don't have the key for is indistinguishable from random noise.
gollark: It still has calls to Google stuff in it, they're just visibly there.
