This is simply a symptom of economic misallocation, decades of wealth concentration has moved the incentives away from normal healthy investments, to a minuscule minority desperately trying to chase ever shrinking short term gains, when all they are really doing is gambling on hooking the next tech evolutionary whale.

So much human potential given to such a tiny group of incompetent morons.

When the history books are being written, this era will make the robber baron/gilded age pale in comparison.

A drunkard, ex-fox news host, wants mass surveillance and automated killing, what could go wrong?

I wish I thought enough Americans had the spine required to stand up to this, and I know for a fact that a lot do... the solution is literally written into your constitution.

It’s not hard, the dilbert guy was a psycho, sucks if you liked him, he was emphatically a psychopath. Maybe it’s time to reconsider some of your atrocious views, and learn some empathy

This is naive to the point where it is indistinguishable from disinformation.

Aside from a tiny minority of people applying their own encryption (with offline confirmed public keys) at end points with securely stored air gapped private keys, this information is available to the US government, it’s the god damn job of the NSA.

Why would their pitch to prospective targets reflect their corporate aims?

Do facebook or google do this to their users?

“Business Idiot” seems like a bit of a superfluous phrase, outside of criticizing that particularly dangerous group of people hell-bent on destroying humanity as a concept. But the article is woefully lacking in that regard.

As long as sufficient amounts of wealthy people are able to wield their money as a force to shape society, this is will always be the outcome.

Unfortunately,in our current society a rich group of people with a very restricted intellect, abnormal psychology, perverse views on human interaction and a paranoid delusion that kept normal human love and compassion beyond their grasp, were able to shape society to their dreadful imagination.

Hopefully humanity can make it through these times, despite these hateful aberrations doing their best to wield their economic power to destroy humans as a concept.

Regarding 2. How are comptime values restricted to total computations? Is it just by the fact that the compiler actually finished, or are there any restrictions on comptime evaluations?

That’s easy to answer, The Powell memorandum. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_F._Powell_Jr.#Powell_M...

There’s a clear through line from what that cruel, despicable man put to paper that year, to the incoming presidential administration in 2025.

DRM is a government sanctioned desecration, by corporations, of your private property rights, by its very definition.

Whether it’s in the GPU, CPU, TPM, or any other part of computing property you ostensibly own, is an utterly irrelevant distraction, the root is the unholy alliance of government and capital power.

It’s either pure delusion or malicous distortion of reality.
