Mark Harris asks us to imagine a trader in London wanting to access data from New York: if it were routed via SpaceX's planned constellation of satellites, it might reach her in 45 milliseconds. (4 May, p 44)
If that kind of speed were needed, the trader would be neither a “she” nor a “he”, but an “it” – an algorithm.
