I don't agree with the thesis of this post. It is begging the question of if we have to do what computers want.
> Millions of people create accounts, confirm emails, ... not because they particularly want to or even need to.
These were design choices made by humans, not computers.
Selective corporate stimulus. What happened to free markets?
> I have no doubt they will feel incredibly important and satisfying to the people doing them.
How rude.

This is such a mess. How can I both endorse a politicians approach to the world and disagree with every particular action? Trump is right about government overspending, unaccountability, the need to reign in the bureaucratic class. But he is doing it in the absolute worst way possible. Cuts to Public Health? with H5N1 coming looming over us? It won't be China coming to power in 10 years, it'll happen in two when they actually manage a crisis that might decimate the working population of every "developed" country.
We're in the end game now.

In my opinion space limited solutions are not very interesting. Time complexity is always >= space complexity, so finding optimal time solutions is always more interesting. And we already knew the optimal time complexity. I appreciate a theoretical time vs space relation, but it doesn’t seem applicable to other areas.
It’s a great thing that this report addresses both space and time!
