<p>Oh it's much worse than that.  They only accept member fees paid by <i>SEPA transfers</i>.  As in Single Euro Payment Area.  Don't live in a country that uses the Euro or is part of the EU?  Your money isn't welcome here.<p>What a dumb policy.</p>

<p>I guess you haven't spent much time in Europe recently.  Deregulation is considered a swear word over there.  I do not advise using it around Europeans.<p>Also, if you say something that sounds like "free speech" their heads explode.  It's quite spectacular to watch.</p>

<p>The cellular carriers very obviously already have a system like this for location tracking.<p>Their tower dumps contain enough metadata to determine all the people who spend most workdays at office buildings in McLean Virginia.  And then, of course, where those people sleep (i.e. charge their phones) at night.  It takes positive effort to <i>erase</i> that data, and believe me, it's being erased.  The powerful people don't want it to exist.<p>So yeah, there is already a system for doing this kind of thing.  It will be extended.  Plebs like you and me don't get to use it.</p>

<p>> The word "cooling" alone appears seven times, none of them in the context of specific power numbers.<p>Exactly like I said.<p>Additionally, nowhere is it said that "the system" includes the cryocooler.  Since IMEC doesn't make cryocoolers, it would be unreasonable to assume that their "system" includes one.<p>This quantum stuff is starting to get even more scammy than cryptocurrency.</p>

<p>Or they're trying to distract attention from the fact that they've already sold out 100% of the fab capacity available to produce these chips for the next two years.<p>So really, they lose nothing.  They've already booked sales of everything there is to sell.  So might as well now turn attention to those who might be customers two years from now, and make them feel like the wait will be worth it.</p>

<p>The problem is Turing-completeness.<p>A consequence of Rice's Theorem is that there can never be a useful, enforced distinction between the garbagepile that we have right now and anything more than "no JS".<p>Before WHATWG hijacked the web we <i>had</i> apps on the internet -- Flash, Java applets, etc.  They had slightly more friction than ordinary webpages, which forced publishers to think hard about <i>hey do I really need an app or can I do this with static HTML</i>?  Now maybe Flash and Java-applets aren't the best platforms for web apps, but the apps need to be kept separate from the documents, and there needs to be some small frictional cost imposed on publishers who choose the app route -- because otherwise <i>all of them</i> will choose it out of laziness.</p>
