Well, I'll grant that the marketing for that will certainly have something to do with a cat box...

Given the rate of "progress" with QC doing prime factorization of arbitrary compound numbers, not only will I be dead by then, everyone who will have known me in my life will be dead. And if you add the criterion that QC must be cheap enough to make it worthwhile to crack my secret messages, there's a fair chance that everyone who would have known anyone who knew me in life in life will also be dead by then.

And no, I do not believe in doomsday prophesies.

Meanwiile, without any form of cheating, a 6th grader will be a lot faster than a quantum computer, and they'll do it for rewards that cost way less than the operating cost of the QC.

Practical quantum prime factorization is all the way up to (some) 2 digit numbers and it only took 20 years. Lately, scaling of quantum computers seems to have hit a wall. MS's meetoo quantum chip turned out to be a mock-up, Google's imminant announcement of the largest QC yet is now a year overdue and silence from the hype machine is ominous.

So I guess this is Aptiv trying to cash in (or perhaps cash out) before the bust.

What about LONG term income and price changes?

Wages haven't kept up with inflation for decades. Various social norms pressuring people to have kids have been eroding the whole time due to the simple impracticality of it.

OK, open the hanger, here comes the airplaaaaaane!>/p>

His name is Paul Yura. I'm pretty sure Nick Bannon is not rsilvergun IRL.

Now finish those nummy strained peas.

It's right here in the comments.

The person who would have coordinated the alert with local authorities is gone. His position has not been filled because a lateral move would make the new guy "probationary" (and we know what happens to those under Trump).

But in this particular case, with the chain of cause to effect well established, the names of each of those kids should be tattooed on his face in blood red ink, mirror imaged so he can be reminded every morning when he gets up.

The alerts are supposed to be localized to the area where they can do some good. When I get an alert about something on the other side of the state at 3 A.M. It has missed the mark, unless that ever so rare silver or possibly white Honda drives through my bedroom window (which can't happen for at least 3 hours given how far away it is), there's zero chance I will see it.

Now, if they displayed the alert on the signs over the interstate, they would better target people who might actually see it.

Their pricing is already high for streaming, but that's apparently not enough for them. If you actually try to sign up you find that they pump the price > 33% more with "fees" for various things they advertise as benefits of their streaming, and so push the price to over $100/month.

Somehow it doesn't surprise me that they want even more money under the table after that.

At one point, diquat was used for weed control in lakes because it won't disperse or break down to become ineffective even if just poured in the water.

Imagine what that says about washing it off of fruits and vegetables or it's ability to diffuse into aquifers.

Check prices for Taiwan as well if you like. Meanwhile, where do you think American companies have boards made for them? The big differential in price is mark-up.

But really, there isn't a lot of human labor involved in board fab these days. And certainly not the sort that pays the lowest wages.

Components are just as crazily marked up in the U.S. I wouldn't be at all surprised that the Chinese manufacturers can get even better pricing then an individual could from a Chinese supplier due to volume.

The 1890's called, but it turns out they DON'T want their 16 hour work days back.

It's on you to present actual evidence.

That depends on the work. For maintenance, you don't care if he labors like a madman for hours a day, or if he reads a magazine all day, then takes out his wand and says "REPAIRO" with a flourish. So long as shit works.
