I'm very sorry to admit it but I'm too lazy to read the entire discussion in this thread. Could you please tell me, a mere mortal, at which point the humanity should start worrying about the security of asymmetric encryption in the brave new world of quantum computing?
Funny turn of phrase, but you probably need 20 million physical qubits (or at least you did a few years ago, this number may have dropped somewhat) to do anything significant. I don't think we can be confident we'll get there any time soon.
>Make streaming services pay fair compensation
Others have probably pointed it out already but if it happens, streaming services are very unlikely to survive. They are not profitable even today. To make things worse, AFAIK there is research that basically says that streaming services will never generate money for their investors.
Spotify can only afford to pay its musicians "unfair" compensations. Otherwise it will be forced out of business.
If you consider art to be engineering, then I have a personal example. I recently wrote a story that follows a tested writing formula that is used in some of the most popular anime. The story was liked by people from my target audience. One person even wasn't happy that I didn't allow to share the story anywhere since it was just a small part of large audience research. You can think about the story as about a successful product prototype.
However, I'm facing significant challenges trying to make it an actual anime. It's very difficult to find any investors for this kind of things even when your research promises commercial success, and even those with whom I got in touch don't have enough time to read the emails that present my research and its findings.
