Comment Re:Millionaires are leaving the UK in droves (Score 1) 76

You don't think policies like VAT on private school fees and pushing up business taxes instead of personal ones play well with the typical Labour voter?

They're cratering in the polls anyway for a host of other reasons, and I suspect Starmer is already toast anyway for a host of other reasons (though it's significantly harder in practice for Labour to replace a leader they're not happy with than it is for the Tories), but I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that some of these policies are being chosen because of their political alignment.

Comment Straight gears (Score 0) 111

If they want to make their machine noisy they should use straight cut gears and omit the sound deadening asphalt. Then it will be loud as shit all the time, without having to pipe in any fake noise bullshit.

Quiet is one of the best things about EVs. Being able to hear the other noises the car makes is actually useful, unlike this crap.

Is my assumption incorrect that a QC could be made to crack the older encryption methods?

If a more powerful quantum computer can be built, then it could do that. But there's no evidence thus far that an actually useful one can be built.

Some worry that the more closely companies intertwine, the more susceptible they are to creating a bubble

This is nonsense, they cannot create a bubble now, because they have already created a bubble. "Some" need to catch up with where we were months to years ago. At least it's safe to predict that something which is already happening will happen... yeah, we know, we can see it.
