Why not finance a more wide tax break for tech companies, including small companies?

I have seen first hand, one of my classmates from high-school, whom I didn't consider to be too bright, receive a 100k EUR grant to build an esports platform that ended up being a styled-up wordpress blog. He had zero interest in tech, never programmed, the works...

He had no interest nor knowledge relating to tech, but managed to somehow get that grant. Meanwhile, I was paying taxes on hard earned freelancing dev money. We were both 23 years old at the time and it was really jarring.

I'd rather they cut taxes for already profitable small companies. The taxes in EU are astronomic.

A rare game where having worse PC actually made you perform better. It was easier to time the jump perfectly. I recall starting 5 instances of it to slow it down as a kid and beating records. Fun times.

There are different types of athleticism. Quarterback in the NFL is the most difficult and important position on the field. Without taking anything away from him, like most humans, Ronoldo wouldn't last a single NFL game.

And Mahomes wouldn’t last a 3 minute round with a boxer.

He’s the most successful player in the most competitive position in the most competitive league in one of the most competitive sports on Earth.

American football requires a different skill tree than world football. So of course if you only judge by the standards of world football he is not great. But why would you do that?

And athleticism as different from health. In fact, beyond a threshold I believe it is detrimental to it.

Calling American football “one of the most competetive sports on Earth” feels like a stretch. It’s big in US, but not that popular anywhere else.

So some CPU models wait 120 cycles and others wait a millisecond (millions of cycles)? That seems like a pretty drastic difference. I wonder why they would write code with such a drastic difference between CPU models.

No, Haswell's PAUSE is 9 cycles, the P-cores of Alder Lake are 160 cycles. Zen 4 is 65.

Does the spinlock last a millisecond? It sounds from the article that it lasts 120 cycles.

It differs by CPU model.
