As the OP wrote, Intel will go the way of HP and start charging for reloading their CPUs with electrons when their built-in electron tank runs dry after 10 GFlops and Intel CPUS will be hardcoded to only accept Genuine Intel Electrons (TM)(R).

And everyone will rejoice when they inevitably go bankrupt and the managers who ruined the once great company are put up against the wall.

CommentWFH *is* often a hit on productivity, but.. (Score 3, Interesting)121

On this topic, I think we usually argue the wrong case.

I work from home.
I value the chance to do that, and do it conscientiously, and work a bit more than paid hours to be sure I am being fair.
Even so, I am sure I am not quite as productive as if I was in the office, working the same hours.
*But that is a hit my employer is willing to accept.*
If they did not accept it, I would be more likely to look for work elsewhere.
So that is why they do accept it.

CommentNot instantaneous communication, alas (Score 1)26

"though quantum particles that are entangled appear to interact with each other instantaneously — no matter the distance and thus moving at the speed of light — modern science’s understanding of quantum mechanics interprets that it is impossible to transmit data using quantum entanglement."

CommentHow would wifi help? (Score 1)57

I think the problem is that the boats need to be connected to the internet.

Their on-boat intranet topology is probably a less important problem.

And the difference is something that a technical writer and editor - who are proud of the work they do - should be aware of.
