The time to spawn the threads is just inconsequential compared to the time to wait for the threads to exit for small sizes of N. But by doubling the number of numbers to sort you do double the time (actual wall clock time) that it takes to spawn those threads. O(N + 10000000) is still O(N)

Not to mention for the OS to handle N threads would likely take some kind of non-linear time, at least N^2 if I had to take a shot in the dark. But I imagine it'd depend on the OS and how the hardware handles interrupts. Even if the thread is sleeping it still takes resources to schedule it

There is a limit, growth can't continue forever (especially the exponential growth we've been seeing). We've got to level off at some point

I mean if Facebook losing %0.01 (or whatever it was) of it's users is enough to drop it's share price by 40%

I think that anything could pop this bubble at this point, people investing in these companies are expecting growth that isn't realistic imo

All these companies have hit their saturation point and are just fighting over the same shrinking pie at this point. Just look at how many social media sites have implemented tik tok functionality. That alone to me screams "too much capital and not enough growth"

Well, there's a risk of a Russian default now. The fed is planning to raise interest rates even more now and shrink their balance sheet by 1t per year. All that pump that came during the pandemic so share prices didn't go down has to dump at some point.

Either that or we'll continue to see >5% inflation for a while, and that's a scary thought. Especially since wages aren't going up nearly as fast

Spotify is still working for me on their desktop app for the downloaded songs. Really weird that it logged everyone out on mobile...
