Idling

What the devil you do in idling there?

This idea is particularly powerful for things that have high idling capacity.

Economically, the United States, the eurozone, the United Kingdom, and Japan are all idling.

A processor capable of simultaneous multithreading has only one execution unit ( core ), but when that execution unit is idling (such as during a cache miss), it uses that execution unit to process a second thread.

Now, what's happening here is people are realizing the power of technology to unlock the idling capacity and value of all kinds of assets, from skills to spaces to material possessions, in ways and on a scale never possible before.

And yet we may not realize that in a standard sedan, of all the fuel energy you feed into the car, seven eighths never gets to the wheels it's lost first in the engine, idling at zero miles a gallon, the power train and accessories.
