This a nothing prediction. Incorrect on one end and obvious on the other. It's certainly going to break encryption. Shor’s Algorithm is proven. It's a done deal once the tech catches up. We also know that quantum computers will advance our understanding of physics, as our understanding of physics needs to change for us to even get there. So naturally the running of such devices is going to lead to rapidfire understanding breakthroughs.

Comment travel and rural should be Starlink's focus. (Score 2) 25

(True) 5G speeds are good enough to put pressure on current home network ISPs. Starlink trying to dive into urban and suburban markets doesn't make much sense given the needs for extremely clear views. Airplanes, ships, and rural households should be all they are concerned about for the moment. (just please: flex some muscle and get the prices lower while traveling)

The whole premise of Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc is to have workers compete for jobs. This becomes a race to the bottom for businesses that previously had full time employees doing deliveries. Even if the majority of their income came from tips, that is quickly disappearing with these apps that take the tips for themselves or make it difficult to tip in the first place. The same thing happened to taxi drivers. You’re completely misinformed as to what these jobs are, or you’ve forgotten, or you’re willfully ignoring it for one reason or another.
