Not far from real life quantum leap then?
Dunno about that, but quantum computing has lots of interesting applications. One of the most obvious ones is in improving our modelling of situations like climate change. We currently use past data sources to model prior conditions and then feed in current data to predict the future. Weāre actually pretty shit at it - as proven by the poor ability to predict tomorrowās weather, let alone model the likely situation globally 100 years from now. Quantum computing will dramatically change that with the potential to run molecular level models in place of system models and much more.
Yeah thatās possible. But if you follow some of the developments on the Google AI blog you can figure out where they are going with this. If they do manage to create a breakthrough quantum processor it will be a game changer.
Nasty. I bet it wasnāt skateboard related.
Thatās seriously close to me.
Scary shit.
This is the first Iām seeing of it too.
Iām surprised theyāve been in business for as long as they have really.
I had flights booked them with on Wednesday for our 10 day hols to Fuerteventura. This is the first time in 8 years I havenāt booked this as a package holiday because weāve stayed there so often I got a Riu loyalty card. Built up some points and got a better rate on the hotel and separate flights than a Tui package we usually go with.
Now, Iāve had to re-book flights (going from Stansted as Gatwick has sold out) for Ā£1000. And Iāll have to book airport parking at an extra Ā£100.
Say goodbye to our cheap out of season holiday!
I am sad for the thousands that lost their jobs too 
Ouch, thatās a fucker alright.
I heard some woman talking on the radio over the weekend about her entire wedding package & party which she booked through Thomas Cook and was due to happen in Greece somewhere next Sunday. Seemed like sheād be left high and dry by this.
A rival company will come in to save the day and get the good press.
I donāt think a rival company will be able to cope, Thomas Cook operated their own planes. The rival company would have to cover repatriating all the customers from all their routes. What the government is doing, chartering planes from other companies to cover them for their geographic regions, is probably the only viable option. Unless the government can give TC a spurt of cash to get their planes flying a few more days?
I mean like wedding parties, or grannyās birthday, or the kidās doctor appointment, that kind of thing. Not regular boring un-newsworthy people.
Duuuh, my bad 
Difficult to say how much more could go wrong for Boris now.
