Awesome now that India has their poverty and corruption issues finally solved.
Just like all the other slightly-spacefaring nations?

That's Exactly what Crystal Well (a.k.a. Iris Pro) is 128 MiBytes of very fast RAM with latency about 1/2 that of DRAM.
In typical 'Intel - because we can.' product differentiation, they've unfortunately gone and made that bit tricky to get: Apparently, only their R-series Haswells, the BGA ones, have the eDRAM on the desktop. On the mobile side, it's reserved for the highest end i7s, I don't know if any of those are LGAs.
I don't doubt that it makes economic sense; but Intel is continuing their annoying policy of deliberately having no ideal low-to-midrange part: If you go for a lower performance CPU, as a price-sensitive buyer would, they simply don't offer a GPU that isn't merely phoning it in. If you buy a screaming expensive model, you get their fastest GPUs, which are OK; but not great (and, with some CPU-heavy exceptions, quite possibly not good enough for the people who buy $500+ i7s.
It probably isn't in their interest; but if they actually were looking to put a nail in the coffin of the low-end discrete GPU market, they'd offer at least one i3 or i5 with full GPU punch.
My google search on the issue came up with Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Bangladesh. Two of which seem to be African, the latter South Asian I guess.
I'm sure you can come up with better data.
Besides infant mortality, there's probably unreported miscarriage.
I'm not sure whether to laugh of to start arranging alibis.
What good will your alibi do you when your job is replaced by a $2.30/hour 'work experience' inmate and you are arrested for "vagrancy"?
The postbellum confederacy had this system down to a science; but there is no reason that it wouldn't work elsewhere...
Since the code needs to be audited anyways, it'd be a great chance for an instructor to introduce code reviews and/or pull requests. And maybe during that process, help enlighten other curious inmates as to how the system and programming works.

Plus, when compared to SAIC or other obligate parasites of the state, a few rapists and murders are probably refreshingly honest and easy to deal with.
One small step for man, one giant stumble for mankind.
