Well after just having a 5 hour meeting discussing what exactly constitutes the Presentation Layer vs the Application Layer and debating about whether Authentication counts as business logic in the presentation tier, I can tell you for certain it is Political at times.

Because there are a lot of bad actors with plenty of time on their hands and resources to backup their endeavors.

That's what optimum parallelism is. They are collaborating to process N number as many items at the same time in the most optimum way. They also are coordinating to prevent someone from grabbing the same item or placing the same item in the same place. The conveyor belt itself is a ring buffer.

The assembly line principle can also be applied to the concept of threads. Workers collaborate by handing items off to one or more workers(threads) down the line. Thread pools are just micromanagers constantly reassigning the poor workers, but at least the make a lot of friens collaborating.

Have you ever seen those assembly lines where a bunch of people sit around the conveyer belt and each one grabs a product, makes an addition, and sets it back down? That's fairly close.

There are more than one way to parallelize things as well. For example you could have and assembly line methodology where different threads are working on different stages at the same time. Using a common shared threadpool, as one stage slows down, it receives more workers to speed it up. Using producer/consumer queues to designate when data is being passed from one threads control to the other eliminates a lot of multi-threading bugs if this architecture is appropriate.

This might be true in recent history, but Intel's Core architecture had AMD on its heels for several years.

Some people get confused and think LinkedIn is where the best networks are grown. They are wrong. It's by picking up the phone.

If you recall, this situation happen before with Barack Obama as president. Eventually he dropped it because something new and more important will come up a sure as sunrise. It seems to be bipartisan if you ask me. It boils down to do the ends justify the means and that doesn’t split among party lines.

I’m a republican and I totally disagree with Barr’s push. I honestly believe that once enough people explain to Trump the implications of unlocking one phone he’s pragmatic enough not to unbottle that genie. He’s been much more reserved than many would have expected given the loudness of his bark.
