There are still stupid high costs for stuff and people are still put on the payroll to do nothing. $70/hr for a guy who does nothing but get coffee... https://nypost.com/2018/03/05/union-workers-are-maki

You get taxes in other ways through new building permits, higher property taxes, local sales tax, etc...there is more going on than just collecting corporate taxes in a municipality. The more people you draw the better your overall tax rev

That would be a lot more today...it was $400M in August last year. That 30% fee is now worth $2.3B.

The way it's being done is the problem. No one can have a discussion about things anymore. It does us no good to be living on the moral high ground as our borders are invaded and our technology stolen. I'm not saying people sho

Destroying inner cities is not helping. Pulling money away from the police in the middle of crime spiking and giving it to experimental task forces that have little in the way of experience is not a great idea. Portland just decided that

OK, well reducing the police is hardly an appropriate action in the middle of a crime spike. Ted Wheeler said the shootings started trending up a few months before the disbanded the gun violence reduction team...so is that better or worse?

by j_walter 6y ago
Yes, the gun violence reduction team was disbanded. Since then the number of shootings has skyrocketed. Police are in such disarray and completely disrespected that they don't even go into certain neighborhoods anymore.

This is no surprise really. Any major company promotes managers from within unless they have a lot of industry experience. A bank manager would have a hard time being a manager at any FANNG company (on the engineering side at least) no ma

Talent of a specific activity isn't enough. When did we define "rising to the top" as getting the most YouTube views? I have seen great restaurants (food wise) fail because they didn't have a good location or the right

Unions could be so much better than they are now. They have become fat, lazy and protectionist. It used to be about making sure you had the best trained people to bring value to the employer and employee...now it's about screwing ove

Union pensions haven't exactly faired well in the last few decades and it's not because employers had control over them. Lucky for them a shit ton of money was just given out in the latest COVID bill to help them...no strings att

American fabs have focused on too many feel good measures to competitively compete with the Asian fabs. The new TSMC Arizona HR director came from Intel and one of the first questions out of his mouth was about TSMC's commitment to di

The paper seems to be built off of the work of a lot of previous research. It will take some time to prove it, but again if Schnorr is so adamant that this is true he should have no problem with a PoC...even a simple one.

It doesn't destroy it...at best it weakens the lower RSA bit keys. If it destroys it...why not prove it with a PoC on one of the RSA numbers that hasn't been factored yet. RSA-260 is still open...

Do they have that right? Could this been seen as market manipulation by locking out a significant amount of stock market customers? When all of a sudden you say...you can't buy X, but if you own it you can sell it...that will drive t

What do you mean "silicon with germanium and dopants"? Implanting germanium as a dopant is already done at much larger geometries than 2/3nm. It's also not any more hazardous than implanting any other ion.
