Can you substantiate that claim for me? I've never seen a breakdown, since you've claimed 'vast majority' perhaps you know better.
Maybe have the military operate as a contractor as well and any 'profits' they'd make go towards the general federal budget? At the least it's then a bid by an open party with incentives that should be aligned to public service to compare all the other bids against.

ACPI is a huge part of the reason that linux works at all on x86, and in many cases is as popular as it is. If it acted more like arm boards where pretty much nothing works right, no one would use it for general purpose computing. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of drivers for PMICs, clock dividers, GPIO pin muxing/etc for the hundred or so boards that sorta work, and each one needs customization that takes months/years every time something gets tweaked on the board/etc.

ACPI allows random x86 board vendors to literally have hundreds of products themselves that not only boot linux, but a pile of other OS's because they aren't wasting their time writing drivers for every single board and voltage regulator.

So, call it shitty, but understand that its the reason you can boot a single linux image on everything from an atomicPi, to HP superdome flex, and the thousands of desktops/etc being customized by people in their bedrooms.

Its also largely the reason why linux works on 20 year old PC's that no one is actually testing on anymore.

The alternative is a monoculture where the HW is basically provided by a single vendor that doesn't change much and provides a half dozen supported configurations. I would point to the zseries here because that is effectively how it works, but it also has a huge hw/firmware abstract machine that allows IBM to change the underlying HW details without having to rewrite all this low value garbage.

This is my opinion as well. TOTP info can be encrypted, many programs offer phishing protection for TOTP tokens. I just don't see the value of hardware tokens where the hardware token can be compromised, and the credentials to access them can be as well.
In the UK over 300 hundred thousand adverse events have been reported to the yellow card system, with over a 1000 deaths. I've heard that VAERS underreports because medical professionals don't have the time to make the submissions (I don't really know if that's true or not). It's impossible to confirm what the precise risks are and whether those reporting systems are over- or understating the real picture, but it's irresponsible, I think, to handwave about risks to someone who clearly had a bad response.

I know someone who had both the myocarditis as well as a severe allergic reaction, which could have been fatal if she hadn't received benadryl in time. After that, she was advised by her doctor to not get the 2nd shot. But because the social pressure being placed on people is so high, she is still minded to get the 2nd shot even when her own doctor advises against it. I don't think medical decisions should be swayed by peer pressure from people on the internet, or an employer.
My broad impression is that in the EU and the US, a given project is a "meal" that all the interests involved will take a cut out of.

But in the EU or elsewhere, the "cut" the interests will take is just financial, the project will be designed for cost-efficiency by competent architects and engineers and it's just that the different interests will be paid off with money to make things happen.

In the US, the spread-out state and administrative structure results in a situation where each interest gets it's cut through its ability to make some small change or demand some particular process. A lot of this involves a lot of adversarial relations, some of them intended to stop corruption but which actually result inefficiency and corruption (complex bidding processes legal repercussions for failure to adhere to bid etc. etc.).

California spending $3 billion planning ("planning") a high speed rail system is good example. A lot of that involved buying land whose value had inflated.

Space is a mathematical abstraction. You can do anything with, because it's just math. If you want to bend, curve, distort, rip space, or add more dimensions — go for it.

Physical medium should be compressible, like any other medium. Higgs «field» (let's call it Higgium — Higgs+Vacuum) is presented everywhere, because Higgs boson gives mass to every particle in the Visible Universe and beyond, so it should conduct gravitational waves. As demonstrated by LIGO/VIRGO, gravitational waves causes distortions in light travel. These distortions can be explained as changes of conductivity in Higgium, which can be caused by changes in density, so yes, it can be waves of compression.

Moving away from cost-plus contract funding is something that is needed but is an enormous fight. Every government contractor loves cost-plus. Bid low on cost to get the contract then just keep amending the contract with added cost.

I agree that all government contracts should be fixed bid. It is wholly the contractor's responsibility to determine if they can be profitable on the contract or not. We should not be on the hook for added cost.
The astonishing thing was that the UK had just sustained a massive bombing campaign by Germany whixh had veeu obviously and singularly failed to break the civilain spirit and make the UK sue for peace.

As the article goes into detail, a big factor of costs ballooning is that the municipalities explicitly ask for much more stuff than initially planned - as you say "unless its for something outside of what we specified together and they quoted", which is the exact thing happening in the examples provided by the article.

You ask for A, get quoted $X; but if then after the public input (which, as the article states, can't be avoided or its suggestions refused, because votes and politics) you decide that you actually want A+B+C+D+E+F+G (it's not an exaggeration, it's common for the "add-ons" to require multiple times more work than the initially requested thing) then you're not getting that for $X no matter how you write the contract.

If someone is painting your house and halfway through the process you discuss with your family that it needs to be a different color (redoing the already painted parts) and the kids room also needs to be painted, and oh, they should fix the porch before painting it, that's going to result in cost ballooning far above the quote.
> I mean... this seems like a very good point, but from the rest of the article, and the previous one, it sounds like the patch was approved?

Intel actually said, in a short snippet where The Register refers to them as "Chipzilla", "If we plan to implement these updates in future products we will provide a deeper explanation of how they are implemented at that time.". One interpretation could be they are saying they haven't figured out if they are going to implement this in anything so they just added it for fun... I'd call that the "makes a good article" interpretation. The other interpretation is they plan to use the feature but have not yet finished planning which products will use it to unlock what and will talk about it in more detailed once planned, I'd call that the "corporatespeak decoded version". If you were a literal interpretation bot I would still say the corporatespeak version fits better than the article filler version hence why the extrapolations with that version don't match up to what is happening.

> Maybe one day he should think about resettling to China… just saying.

I mean yeah? Maybe? It's really not that hard to understand how to maintain high standing in multiple conflicting societies. Doing so in China is also not that difficult or bothersome, not any harder than maintaining good standing in a private platform like Youtube the analogy being that the arbitrary decisions follow unspoken rules but you can predict what those rules are and still have a great and endearing time. I get that we are raised not to respect that a government assumes that kind of role while tolerating private institutions that run our day to day lives operating the same way, but the assumption that day-to-day life is sooooo aggravating in China is just completely wrong.
I don't see how this is relevant to this discussion. NYC is plenty dense yet it has the same issues with cost.

Where's the evidence that contractors will bid below-cost? Even if some do, they'll just go out of business, and the contractors who know how to do basic math will live another day.

The company I work for considers this kind of writing to be fundamental to being a considered a principal engineer. I can't imagine they invented this idea; it's probably relatively common in the startup world.

While this might not have been the author's motivation, having a popular tech blog certainly doesn't hurt one's employment prospects.
I'm not an expert but: you can look at the log for any given file and see who authored what commit, who reviewed, who actually committed. For example, a different change by the same author [1]

And you can search the mailing list[2] by commit hash/author name/etc and look at relevant discussion trees to see lively patch discussion and criticism/final pull requests/etc.

They might be referring to how easy it is to accidentally/unwittingly invoke the copy constructor in C++. `Foo x = Foo();` used to be the famous example of that, although more recent versions of C++ may guarantee that the copy is elided there.

Another good example is implicit comparison conversions, e.g. some class defines `operator==` as non-explicit and any code that does `x == y` where `typeof(x) != typeof(y)` may find itself going though a possibly-allocating constructor.

What is your basis for saying that 90% of the cost and time was due to folding mirrors? That sounds like the easy part - it's mechanical, and satellites have been unfolding in orbit for a long time.
I love the idea of alternative reality and what if the vacuum tubes were never invented, the same with the transistor. Would we have huge steam engines running building sized mechanical computers to calculate simple programs.

The Interweb's dictionaries disagree with you. Wages are not mentioned in any definition of labor. It is simply synonymous with work, particularily the physically exhausting kind, which sitting in front of a computer shuffling numbers all day long arguably is.
NYC has much different issues with cost. You're paying for bad management that does long term projects as a series of short term projects and lets all the contractors go in between, for instance. You're paying the union for the right to use a tunnel boring machine, and you have an oiler watching your cranes because it's still 1910 and that's a full-time position. You're paying to move legacy infrastructure out of the way. You're paying to mine out cavernous underground subway stations through small shafts because apparently that's how America and America only designs the stations. I could go on.
