China knows that there is zero risk of "US" manufacturing leaving China. Hence they can easily out-escalate the US. Trump is to dumb to be able to understand that and what happens at the end of this process.
I do not think Trump realizes anything. He is living in his little fantasy world, where he understands everything (because he is a "stable genius") and makes the rules. As this is so incredibly far from actual reality, he will never realize that he is, in fact, a semi-moron that fails at basically anything he touches. Typical used-car salesman that never gets anywhere in life. If he had not inherited large, he would never have been anybody.
That is a sad state of affairs. After all, security updates fix defects in their product. It is not as if they are improving anything, it is that they fix the mess they created. To ask for money for that is unacceptable, and to exclude ordinary users is even more unacceptable.
In addition, in manual work, accident rates raise sharply after a few days of overtime. In mental work, really bad mistakes (than can cause accidents later and/or be very expensive) do the same. You need to be rested to work well.
I read a German study a while ago that said you can actually work significant overtime for a week or so and get improved productivity. The second week you are down to normal overall (still doing the same overtime), after that the productivity is significantly lower with overtime than it was without before. Their conclusion was that you can do the overtime for a week if there is an important deadline, and then you have to do a full week of rest or very light work to get people back up to normal productivity.
You seem to be really stupid and incompetent to have failed to find anything. Here is a starting point for you, arrogant child: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Of course you will fail to make good use of it and claim that it does not demonstrate anything. That you are fundamentally dishonest you have already demonstrated though.
It just teaches these people that right or wrong does not matter, what matters is who has more power. The message does not get more problematic than this.
You will end up at what the Dunning-Kruger curve says: About 5-10% of the confident ones are actually really really good, the rest is "incompetent and unaware of it". Now, I will readily admit that I am pretty confident of my abilities and that I think they are pretty exceptional. (I know it is impolite to state this, but it serves the discussion at hand. Still, I apologize.) But I have a lot of external evidence that I am actually right, such as complex systems I designed working well, problems I predicted actually manifesting themselves, etc. The problem of the Dunning-Kruger far-left is that they just think they are great, but they do not look for evidence at all. That makes them even worse performers, because they do not learn from their mistakes. And, realistically, even people that are very good at what they do make mistakes frequently. The thing is that they learn from those mistakes and get even better.
Unfortunately, Dunning-Kruger far-left can have excellent careers, because they are confident and that impresses others. Hence some of them manage to make it into high and very high leadership positions, to the detriment of society as a whole.
I agree that metrics do fail here. This is a personal estimation from looking at our customers. I do a lot of evaluation and fixing their work, so I see a lot. It is not a precise measurement though and it is quite possible my estimate on the competent ones is too high, because I see more critical things, not regular work results.
The other aspect is productivity, if I were working 100% engaged for 8 hours a day my productivity would be at least doubled, but I just can't mange that. I kind of assume other people manage it, but they're probably hiding their distractions and lack of engagement the same as I am.
There are some very old systematic studies done by Ford and others as to what amount of work-hours provide maximum productivity. For manual work they found the peak at 8h/day, 5 days/week, for mental work at 6h/day, 5 days/week. For mental work, you can basically as 2h/day of stuff that needs not much focus, but that is it. If you work more, you are very likely below your maximum overall productivity, i.e. the additional hours make the overall result worse. There are a lot of idiots that do not know this though. As Ford is not in any way under suspicion to have wanted to do something nice for his workers, these numbers are pretty reliable.
My personal estimation is that we have about 20% people that know what they are doing, at least in IT. (Yes, I know that impostor syndrome refers to people that have external evidence that they are actually competent. But in IT holding a specific position does realistically not provide that evidence, even if a psychologist may believe it does.)
As I said, "wired non-standard US scale". It is basically designed to sell IQ tests and you fell fro the scam. The standard scale goes from 50 to 150 and loses accuracy drastically at something like 135.
Realistically, QCs that are worth anything are > 30 years out and very likely will not materialize at all, due to extremely bad scaling. That some startup promises the world to deliver nothing is nothing new though.

We had Video 2000 in school. The picture VHS delivered was utter crap in comparison.
If you have to ask this, then you have no place in this discussion, because you lack both _experience_ and _insight_.
I do not use toy-languages.

You just stated that the US is a failed state. Are you sure that is what you want to say?
When compiling with "-Wall" and using reasonable style, basically none.
It is MS Research. MS proper ignores them routinely.

That's not an extraordinary claim, it is a mainstream 101-level claim
Nope. It is complete BS. It is false.
It is not. But your reaction nicely tells us that you are indeed stupid and unable to look up well-accepted facts.
Well said. Unfortunately a lot of people are not even a bit enlightened and are deeply stuck in the dark ages of violence.

Alternatively, many are actually impostors to some degree. But I agree, there is something severely wrong if you find it as often as here.

Hehehe, indeed
The singularity is utter and complete nonsense, dreamed up by people without a clue how things work. Yes, that includes Marvin "the Moron" Minsky.
And seriously so. I do hope Space-X survives, space-tech has been stagnant for far too long.
