I mean if the goal was to discourage union membership, then I can understand why they did that. Obviously that backfired…

There goes another “red line” without any meaningful response from russia.
I found steamdb.info. According to them Godot seems to be growing steadily.
In this case does packaging mean packaging the silicon die to a processor or soc that can then be used? Or does it mean the assembly of the end product, such as a phone or laptop?
In either case it seems like a moot point to complain that this is a major issue for the long term. Shouldn’t assembly lines for said stuff should be much easier to build in comparison to a chip fab?
Also the fact that the Arizona fab only produces a small fraction of TSMC’s total output is kind of obvious. There are a lot of chip fabs, so US encouragement for domestic production has to be an ongoing effort.
My bad. You don’t need a rocket to launch stuff.
I mean you could stay in space, if you were to reach escape velocity. Heat might be an issue though.
Tweaking the nuke to achieve a specific orbit might prove to be difficult. Also it’s not like Blue Origin has nukes right?
Seems like hollywood. Dangling career opportunities as a reward for constenting to unwanted advances etc.
Their government has been trying to keep the issue of aid in the public interest for a reason. Sometimes they might go too far, but I think people underestimate the fear a country would experience if they were highly dependent on outside help. Especially if it wasn’t guaranteed to continue due to changes in the political leadership in the other countries.
As always the headline is somewhat misleading.
This was well put and a good summary of the situation!
In a less resilient democracy attempts of interference in the election process might not cause the same uproar it has in the US.
This also works the other way. The prosecution of Trump seems to be handled with care to ensure that the charges are justifiable. In non democratic countries a political opponent would first go to jail and then the prosecutors would try to invent some kind of corruption charge.
Congress members and senators still showed up to work, and the decisions they took still mattered, even if some of the Republicans were constantly violating precedents and norms. The judicial system still kept churning and mostly following the laws and precedents, even if Trump appointed a lot of unqualified partisan judges.
From an outside perspective this is a good demonstration that while your system is somewhat flawed, it’s still resilient. By flawed I mean mainly the two party system and stuff like judges being appointed by politicians. However if your system didn’t have some builtin failsafes, it would have been much more vulnerable to influence from unwanted sources.
Even if most trump voters wanted to turn the US into a proper aristocracy, (some right wingers actually do*), the process would have been much more complicated in comparison to countries that have become dictatorships in the past decades.
*I’m referring to a somewhat new trend, where influential people are claiming that the US is suffering from a dumb population, and that experts should be given more power.
That’s a job for the parents though isn’t it? And for early teenagers people seem to forget what positive influence the internet could have on their lives. Eg. many IT workers started fiddling around with stuff when they were quite young.
Obviously that has to be reflected in the price of the product. Presumably even more so with storage.
Also there might be a use case, where cost is paramount and the drive would experience very limited writes.
I’ve got a personal anecdote that’s not entirely the same, but I’ve bought a bunch of flash chips from china to use with retro games. Those are often salvaged, but they are also cheap and available to buy. It doesn’t matter if the chips can’t take too many write cycles, if you only flash them a couple of times.
When I did play foss games, I played battle for wesnoth, teeworlds, minetest, super tux csrt and openarena. Lsst one might be dead due to being a mainly multiplayer game.
Fortunately the nuclear reactor can be operated for >50 years :)
To me it seems that it would be worth it to repeat such groundbreaking tests before publishing the results just to avoid such negative press? Especially, if the material in question was relatively simple to produce.
However I know nothing about how this type of research works normally so ¯\(ツ)/¯
The fine Lucas got was from omitting the director’s credit from the start of the movie. It’s not like anybody was defending the guys doing the work behind the scenes.
This might be a needless nitpick, but had to bring it up, as it’s not the first time I’ve come across this.
Thanks for doing the googling and bringing it up here.
Apparently the dreamcast controller had hall effect sensors, so it’s not really new tech. With the volume that Nintendo produces stuff with, the extra price per joystick would most likely be quite small.
Your comparison between phones and VR/AR is reasonable but a bit different as when windows phones were discontinued, Microsoft had pretty much lost the phone os race. Also the windows phones sucked, I’ve used them…
IMO microsoft gave vr/ar a fair chance. They might have been early, but if we are eg. a full decade off must buy VR, then it might not be worth waiting.
