The Terror is just an unfortunate episode of the French Revolution, not the whole story. All what has been discussed and achieved the Assemblée Constituante, 1789-07-09 to 1791-09-30, is indeed, to me, beautiful. Full disclosure: Yes, I'm French.
Transputers had 4 HW links -- those are probably the easiest part to replicate in current processors. The difficult part is the threading model: Transputers had their own thread model. Scheduler was hardwired in silicon, together with a couple of dedicated instructions. SW could not tell the difference between a local and a remote communication. Efficient, but not very flexible in terms of OS architecture.
If this idea spreads, it could [...] upend stereotypes (many advanced by yours truly) about greedy corporatism.
Well not too fast!
If and when you have a computer at home, you'll have to train during your free time, and no any more during work hours.
Go and browse some of the Corporate World Think Tank, and check that. I know that Bosch in Germany at least, made huge saving by having people using their familly computer at home and their free time for a training that, in a decent world, should have occured during work hours, in the company buildings, on the company's computers.
