That is the spending, then there'll be a bump up beyond the official figures because of regulation (ie, control of companies that would turn up in categories other than direct government spending). That gets it to most of the economy in my mind.

And things like all the private businesses servicing government workers. Eg, in Washington - sure there'd be a lot there that isn't officially government spending but the ostensibly private infrastructure investment and consumption but really it is all supporting the operation of government.

Once the official stats say the government has reached 40% of the economy, the practical influence is going to be a bit larger again. I'm still happy to say >50%.

> Compared to other nations, especially other developed nations...

I don't think the difference can be defended as important. The US is running a large modern mixed economy. It hasn't been a small-government country since the 70s; at best.

That isn't a compelling case to say 40% of the economy is a small government. The ratio of government spending to private is getting pretty close to 1:1. I'd accept that it isn't "big" in the sense that some places manage to spend even more in % terms, but to call that behemoth "small" is a bridge too far. It is standard sized. Small governments don't control that much of the market.

EDIT And if you want to lean on the "relatively small", in the sense the article is using it makes sense to compare the sizes related to each other, in which case the US government is much larger than every other contender except China. Relative to the German or French government, the US government is enormous. It is a corruption honeypot.

>The most likely catastrophe remains giving capital outsized influence on our society.

No, in this regard, capital is ABSOLUTELY harmless. I mean, if the capital get outsized influence on our society, in the WORST case it will turn into a government. And we already have it.
Suppose that p-1 has no large prime factors, eg suppose p-1 divides 10000!, then you can factor N by calculating something like x = random() ^ (10000!) % N. Then x will be 1 mod p (or rarely 0, if x was) but probably not mod q unless q has the same property. Then gcd(x-1,N) = p, and you've factored N. A similar trick works with Lucas sequences if p+1 has no large prime factors. So instead of attacking your key with a very expensive algorithm that doesn't care about special properties of p,q, they might gamble that your key is weak and try a cheaper algorithm first. So folks would avoid keys where p+1 or p-1 was "smooth" in this way.

However, we don't care much about this attack anymore for two reasons. One is that N must now be big enough to resist attack by the Number Field Sieve (and not just the Quadratic Sieve). At least if there are only two primes in the RSA key, this means that p,q must be big enough for these attacks to be very unlikely to work. But just as importantly, it turns out that you can do the above attack with exponentiation on a random elliptic curve instead of regular exponentiation / Lucas sequences. This is how most math libraries implement factor(). It's slightly slower but since the random elliptic curve will have a random order instead of exactly p+1 or p-1, it is equally likely to work with any p,q of a given size, regardless of special properties they might have.

In other words, an attacker can re-randomize how weak or strong a key is by using elliptic curves. So there's not much point in avoiding ones that look weak at first glance.

If the base unit were gram, megapascals would be gigapascals, microfarads would be nanofarads, and megajoules gigajoules. Similarly a watt would be what's now a milliwatt and most "everyday" powers (except in electronics) would be kilowatts or megawatts.
Didn't they already do that, years and years ago?

Given that the comparison function doesn't have the transitive property (if line a > line b and line b > line c that implies line a > line c), does this sort really work?

The 'allpair' variant, which aggregates the score across all n*(n-1) comparisons will work, but the other two couldn't possibly have stable results - it would depend on the order of the items in the input.

> A follow-up study showed that kids from stable, reliable homes were much more likely to wait than kids from unpredictable ones. If you’re a kid and the adults in your life constantly break promises, why would you trust them this time? Why wait for the second marshmallow if history tells you it might not show up? Waiting isn’t a character trait; it’s a strategy. And strategies are shaped by experience.

I think this is a potentially dangerous oversimplification of the work discrediting this study. The first sentence is pretty accurate, but the rest of the paragraph puts "stability" 100% in the hands of parents, and not childrens surrounding environment due to poverty. Parents can only do so much if there aren't good schools, safe communities or reliable policing.

I'm probably being a little too critical here, and it's clearly important as a parent to do everything you can to make sure that your child has a stable, trusworth environment, I have a son and that's exactly what I try to do personally.

But I think we also have a massive influence in how we shape society, children in poverty have unpredictable, unstable environments even if they have great parents. There are some really clearly documented outcomes of the effects of poverty, and yet a societal tendency to blame outcomes on parents and character over situation still remains.

I'm basically just saying in a long winded way, be a good parent, but do what you can to make the world a safer and more reliable place for other children too.

> European leaders were already uncertain whether Mr Trump would honour the alliance’s Article 5 clause – which states that a military attack on one ally is considered an attack on all – and come to their aid.

Article 5 has only ever been invoked once in NATO history. It was invoked by America. NATO allies came to America's aid:

It's all nice and fast until the GC eats up all the CPU time under memory pressure (e.g. container memory limit). GC deserves its bad rep, even if GC implementations have gotten a lot better over time.

GC also disqualifies a language from ever being used for anything but userland programs.
Because 3% would already be enough to make the US irrelevant for European security. At that level of spending, the combined military power of European NATO member states would eventually be comparable to the US. If Trump kept insisting for more, European leaders would just call his bluff. And maybe even secretly hope that the unreliable partner would leave NATO.
There has been no free defense through NATO, because a great part of the military spending of the NATO countries has always gone to US companies, even in cases when alternative better deals had existed.

The only benefit that USA can claim is that without being allied to USA many countries would have been forced to spend more for their defense. However most of that spending would not have gone to US companies, so USA has benefited from the alliance at least as much as the other members.

USA has practically acted exactly like an insurance company. For now, until a war would involve NATO and USA would be forced to pay for it, during all the 3 quarters of a century during which USA never had to pay for a NATO war, USA has received yearly payments from the allies for military equipment, exactly like receiving insurance fees, so the balance for USA from the effects of the alliance is hugely positive.

(Of course, like for most things done by the US government in international relations, the positive balance for USA is not felt by simple citizens, because all profits have been grabbed by the shareholders or managers of some big companies, e.g. those producing military equipment.)

The claims about USA "subsidizing" allies are completely stupid, when frequently the "allies" have been blackmailed to accept contracts paying billions to US companies, not only for defense acquisitions, but also for some non-related infrastructure projects.

Especially in the case of the more recent NATO members from Eastern Europe, they have been forced to pay dearly for their admission into NATO by accepting various very expensive and onerous contracts with some US companies (e.g. Bechtel), besides buying expensive US aircraft or the like.

Not if you are making a dirty bomb . Any radioactive material even at the levels found in power reactors can be dangerous.

The point is not the usage is harmful or not, almost any tech can be used for bad purposes if you wish to do so.

The generated frames thing is interesting as it's an obvious example of the whole discussion around halo products (the x080 or x090 cards), "the rich get richer", it takes up a lot of air in the room but is only appropriate for a small vocal proportion of the market.

As you say you need a good framerate to start with before generated frames make sense so either you're already running well with a high tier card and are further able to show off the combination of framerate/resolution/detail level, or running a lower tier card at lower settings turning the graphics down further which can be a very obvious trade off. Less demanding games which are generally online competitive usually wouldn't do as well with any extra latency introduced, and the situation where I've heard it would be a good fit is emulators or any kind of game where the CPU is the limiting factor
The part where "you get angry with me" for being honest hurts me. So how does that fit into the equation? Am I meant to be hurt for doing what you wanted?

Perhaps a better approach would be to skip the "anger" bit and perhaps fast-forward to the "respect" bit. If that's not possible, then don't be surprised when people stop being honest with you. And most certainly don't complain about it.

Breaking hash functions is in NP, but isn't expected to be NP-complete, meaning that you can't easily encode eg a SAT problem into a hash function, such that breaking the hash solves the SAT problem.

You can do the reverse (encode the hash into a SAT problem), but that's possible for any NP problem, because SAT is NP-complete.
It deeds on the game and technology that you try to emulate. I wrote home-brew emulator software for the Nintendo DS. I could play Sega Genesis games without problems but some SNintendo games like StarFox game me literally headaches. Why? Because the SNES included special chips in the cartridge that were painful to emulate, badly documented and gave you screen flickering and stuff.

Those consoles are so old now that you could emulate them with anything, a Chinese chip that cost dollars will do. But you will be extremely wasteful, consuming tens or hundreds of times more energy(less battery time) for a worse result.

Software is way more flexible. Everything is prototyped first in software. In the past there were machines that consumed a hundredth of a watt of energy. Emulating them using 20Watts is so wasteful.

With software you had only one thing that needs to do totally different things. With hardware you can choreograph a chip working in parallel among others in an independent way.

This applies to adults, too. When you're really poor, it's actually a reasonable strategy NOT to keep money but spend everything as soon as you hit pay day, for instance on storable food. Why's that ? Because money on your bank account can be seized, because you're late on rent, or because you unexpectedly got fined because your rusty old car has a broken light, etc. Food can't be seized, therefore at least you know you'll eat next week, even if it's only cheap pasta and canned sauce, and Nutella basically lasts forever.
They're going on vibes - a general feeling of "I'm not paying for that!" International aid is in the expenses category, and it's not a payment to me, so it must be cancelled! It helps that Putin makes big "donations".

The core counts shown seemed grossly wrong (low) to me in all respects, from desktops to laptops to high end datacenter CPUs, so I looked into the assumptions.

The chart is from the perpective of CPUs going into HPC clusters, not high end SMP database servers in more commercial datacenters. The industry did have more than one core before 2004. The dataset author's 2016 blog explains "Similarly, I only consider CPUs for dual socket machines" [like Xeon Phi].

I'm not sure, given the HPC orientation why the dataset author didn't show specFP rather than specInt... but if I had to pick one, I'd also pick SpecInt.

It seems like a similar challenge as looking at the steam hardware survey stats, it's probably the best public source of information but it's too much of an overview to make anything but the most general conclusions from it. Within that data there's going to be millions of different stories if you could divide it up a bit - what are common combinations of hardware, what are common combinations in different age ranges, what is used for playing games of different ages, what's common in different locations in the world. Valve could possibly tie hardware to software purchasing activity as well what is played.
