> this amounts to a tax on revenue.

Corporations wanted to be people. People pay income taxes on their revenue, not their profits.

The only people who want the open office are the people who either don't want to pay for cubicles, or want to cram more people into a space (worker density) than a cube farm will allow.

You negotiate a percentage of the gross.

performa prototype build of a thing you've already built. You'll gain the new knowledge in context, making it even more valuable.

I think I can solve one ofthem!

This news pleases me enough to consider pitching into help complete the missing features.

when the daily, morning status meeting started being referred toas 'the stand-up', concepts got blurred.

a meeting is held as a stand-up in order to encourage brevity.

so the poster is looking for alternatives to morning status meetings, not stand-up meetings.

stand-up meetings are just fine. thankyouverymuch

The main problem with running 10,000 cores is partitioning your program so that inter-core communication can happen effectively.

You could have several very large thread pools, each performing a different task in a processing pipeline.

You could set up a big SIMD system. Bu didn't the Connection Machine already do this, to the tune of 64k cores?

Maybe you're trying to figure out how to apply the model in a large distributed system where "core" is actually some cloud compute instance. You're back to devising effective ways to communicate with all your cores.

In the end, massively parallel processing, beyond generalized horizontal scaling tends to be designed for a particular problem domain. Some problems lend them selves to vectorization, others to SIMD decomposition, others shared-nothing multiprocessing with message passing between cores.
