Efficiency
How optimally a system uses resources by minimizing unused capacity, at the cost of flexibility and resilience.

Effectiveness
How well a system achieves its goals while maintaining reserve capacity for resilience, adaptation, and peak demands.

Highly efficient systems may be vulnerable to disruption, while effective systems maintain deliberate slack for robustness and responsiveness to changing conditions.

#efficiency Vs #effective

had to go up 26 flights of stairs thanks to the finbro and techbro efficiency of the Wall Street investment bank that, with the backing of the OPEC mafia, privatized these once government-subsidized affordable housing buildings and been gaslighting the unsuspecting by calling them “luxury housing”.

26 flights of stairs.

on a friday evening.

when there’s nobody around to repair them, thanks to their union busting ways.

there is really nothing quite like techbro and finbro #efficiency.

Democracy and efficiency are incompatible at a certain point. And so at that point we must choose which is more important to us.

Hint: as it stands now, we’ve already chosen one over the other. (Or rather, for the most part the choice has already been made for us by others.)

“The upheaval at the #US government's #Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, aka CISA, took another twist on Tuesday, as it moved to reinstate staffers it had #fired over the past few weeks - specifically those still in their probationary period - though they've been benched on paid leave for now.

Last week, a senior penetration tester at CISA claimed his 100-plus-strong #RedTeam as well as its support workers were dismissed after Elon #Musk's Trump-blessed cost-trimming #DOGE unit pulled the plug on a federal government contract; a second #CISA red team was also said to have been cut soon after.

The cyber-agency quickly confirmed it had indeed dumped a number of workers, and said its remaining red teams will continue to operate as usual.”

The sacking of #tech workers continues.

At least 7,000 Social Security Administration (SSA) employees were terminated in February. That’s gonna help efficiency. NOT! What I know is that when I had a problem last year I was on the phone for almost an hour on hold.Then I had to make an appointment.3 weeks out to see someone in person. After that it took 2 months for me to get money put back in that got taken out by their error. Now less employees. #saa #socialSecurity #doge #musk #government #trump #1stFelon #money #efficiency #illegal

wes.copernicus.orgGlauert's optimum rotor disk revisited – a calculus of variations solution and exact integrals for thrust and bending moment coefficientsAbstract. The present work is an amendment to Glauert's optimum rotor disk solution for the maximum power coefficient, CPmax, as a function of tip speed ratio, λ. First, an alternate mathematical approach is pursued towards the optimization problem by means of calculus of variations. Secondly, analytical solutions for thrust and bending moment coefficients, CT and CBe, are derived, where an interesting characteristic is revealed pertaining to their asymptotic behavior for λ→∞. In addition, the limit case of the non-rotating actuator disk for λ→0 is shown for all three performance coefficients by repeated use of L'Hôpital's theorem, and its validity is discussed in the context of other works since Glauert.
