It passes on to both producers and consumers. It’s not perfect but it might be made to work enough.

I do. The exact reason this legal framework is in place

But (s)he is doing the microphone!

I’d assume the ruling would also stipulate that they don’t develop a new browser for X years. Otherwise they could be right back in a day by forking Chromium.

I’d assume they would be willing to pay even more.

Paraphrasing: what is a hot dog but meat in an intestant. When you consume a hot dog, you do not eat the hot dog, you become the hot dog.

If the state were to fund it adequately… I find little flaw with it.

Monkey wrangler. I wrangle monkeys.

Personally, I bet as i hope things won’t go because if it goes bad, at least I get some cash. Hedge. I can’t be alone in this.

But I am! Quantum computing is not conventional computing. See!

Oh, but I am. That’s why I said what I said. Even if they have one, it will be severely lacking; indicated by where public research is at.

Which one? A super computer? Its just faster than a conventional computer by a factor that doesn’t matter. A quantum computer? The public field would be way closer to that if “the government” had one that would be useful.

But this is not like the past. Quantum computers is not an step in evolution, it is a jump, as if from no computers to computers. Of course it’s possible, but there is no basis or indication for it and so no reason to assume it. Why believe the less likely thing instead of the more likely?

My sweet child. Bold of you to assume the commenter knows what p=np means. :)

What do you think they have? Alien computers? Not even super-computers make a dent in decryption.
